You're a bit off the mark there, who says someone with a mortgage is living beyond their means? Or someone who has paid it off worked super hard, maybe they're just older and have accumulated more wealth? The new homeowner with a mortgage likely has simply accumulated less wealth, likely because they are younger. Remember, property tax is a proxy wealth tax, and taxing wealth is very good and efficient means of tax collection because it's not regressive, as those with wealth have a much lower marginal propensity to spend. If you want to think critically instead of mindlessly brushing off very well accepted and influential work in the fields of wealth and income inequality because of some ideological red scare in your mind that has no basis in reality, I would suggest
https://www.amazon.ca/Capital-Twenty-First-Century-Thomas-Piketty/dp/0674979850/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525630837&sr=1-1&keywords=Capital+in+the+Twenty-First+Century
this book will give you lots of context and reasoning supported by empirical data.
Zzzzzzzzzzzz. I totally disagree.
Most of the programs offered by schools are years behind in terms of technology and standard practices. Honest to god, watch YouTube videos -- not because it's free, but because the information is of much higher quality, it's more recent and relevant, and the speakers will teach you how to use the best tools and practices.
No one values a degree anymore. They want proof of your experience and to see how diverse and detailed is your thinking. The best way to do that is put together a portfolio, jump into the first agency role that accepts you, and then you'll get real-life experience working on 40-50 projects per year. You'll quickly learn how the real world works and use that experience and feedback to sharpen your axe.
NOTHING beats Real-life experience.
And honestly start here.
Man, you got ripped apart for this comment. I still appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. None of us know the correct way to address BP, yet. We'd have cured it by now if we did. A lot of medical doctors mean well, but don't have time to deep dive into every study that gets published. Never mind how glaringly bad the replication crisis is in regards to journals selectively publishing papers with only positive drug trail outcomes. Some docs are also bad at even caring enough to have the due diligence to keep informed on what's new and just throw pills at people to see if any stick.
Personally, I'm hopeful that I can avoid the meds. I think they're a wise choice for Bipolar 1 or for anyone who is finding that they can no longer function in society. Me, I'm at least getting by. I shower, I go to my wonderful part-time job, I try to volunteer when I have the energy. I don't want to put that intense strain on my organs (or the waterways) so I'm leaving meds as a last resort.
I'm very interested in neural reprogramming and I think that it's a very untapped field of research. If you are interested, Mindsight by David Seigel is a cool read. I think you alluded to some upcoming postpartum in another comment so it may help you on your journey, too.
I buy Orville Redenbacher kernels myself. Jolly Time tasted absolutely terrible.
Flavacol makes popcorn amazing, IMO. It's available on amazon.ca as well but the price isn't great: https://www.amazon.ca/Gold-Medal-Products-Flavacol-Seasoning/dp/B004W8LT10/
edit: this post prompted me to make some, and I finished off a container of kernels with a 'best of' date in 2015. They still taste amazing, they keep perfectly 'fresh'.
Why?
Because average is over
https://www.amazon.ca/Average-Over-Powering-America-Stagnation/dp/0525953736
The widening gap between rich and poor means dealing with one big, uncomfortable truth: If you’re not at the top, you’re at the bottom.
The global labor market is changing radically thanks to growth at the high end—and the low. About three quarters of the jobs created in the United States since the great recession pay only a bit more than minimum wage. Still, the United States has more millionaires and billionaires than any country ever, and we continue to mint them.
In this eye-opening book, renowned economist and bestselling author Tyler Cowen explains that phenomenon: High earners are taking ever more advantage of machine intelligence in data analysis and achieving ever-better results. Meanwhile, low earners who haven’t committed to learning, to making the most of new technologies, have poor prospects. Nearly every business sector relies less and less on manual labor, and this fact is forever changing the world of work and wages. A steady, secure life somewhere in the middle—average—is over.
With The Great Stagnation, Cowen explained why median wages stagnated over the last four decades; in Average Is Over he reveals the essential nature of the new economy, identifies the best path forward for workers and entrepreneurs, and provides readers with actionable advice to make the most of the new economic landscape. It is a challenging and sober must-read but ultimately exciting, good news. In debates about our nation’s economic future, it will be impossible to ignore.
absolutely. try this one
i use a variation of it that is an overnight bulk ferment, but the results are still good using the same day recipe. your results will vary depending on your pizza stone/steel, how your oven/broiler behaves, and of course a ton of other things, but it's a good place to start!
if you're really keen on going further, i HIGHLY recommend buying the book Flour Water Salt Yeast. its my bread and pizza bible.
Pricer, but good. 100% worth it.
You can get cheaper ones but it's worth the extra money to be headache free and just set-it-and-forget-it type of ownership.
The leaching of lead from systems is relevant in Prince
GeorgeRupert because of the acidic water. Our water chemistry is going to be very different. GVRD water reports are here.If you're worried about water quality, run your water for a few min. And/or put in an under-counter filter like this one.
On a side note: My father was involved as an elected board member on a small water system. In their case, the water system was functioning fine and providing safe clean water. But the provincial government - in what amounted to a cover-their-ass move - mandated that every system meet some incredibly high standards that were absolutely unaffordable for small systems to implement. We're not talking lead here, but going from something like 99.9999% to 99.99999% which was overkill and millions of dollars of costs onto ~300 users. Downloading of costs and shifting of responsibility for a negligible benefit.
Get these books:
109 Walks and
103 hikes
The directions/explanations aren't the best, but at least it will give you ideas. And lots of the listings are not super well known, so often it's less crowded. I like just flipping through and picking a random spot. The walk book has walks that can take from a couple to many hours, but the hike book has major hikes - many of them are carry-in camp style for more serious hikers. Happy adventuring!
The anticipated behaviour of the other road users is an important part of roadcraft. The knowledge of the signals that the other users are controlled by is as relevant to advanced driving as the weather conditions, or time of day.
If this is really a surprise to you, then I'd guess you're either a new driver (less than 10 years driving) or a dangerous one. If you'd honestly like to learn how to drive properly, I recommend this book based on the UK advanced driving certificate.
I have an AUKEY DR02-D front and back dashcam from amazon.
https://www.amazon.ca/AUKEY-Wide-Angle-G-Sensor-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B075VRXRD6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542831989&sr=8-1&keywords=dr02d
Once in a while this goes on sale, I got mine for $120. Easy to install, and decent picture quality at 1080p. Front camera has 170 degree view, rear has 152. Night shots are clear and bright lights don't flare.
Though it comes with your standard USB plug and 12V adapter, I got an OBD2 adapter so that it can get power 24/7.
https://www.amazon.ca/Qiilu-OBD-II-Diagnostic-Extension-Adapter/dp/B076T6DLQ3/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542832137&sr=1-5&keywords=Car+diagnostic+adapter
Amazon is probably the cheapest option for all the equipment you need.
Here's a bunch of equipment you'll want to grab:
Winco Winware Stainless Steel Dough Scraper with Wood Handle https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0017HUR9E/
10" Round Banneton Brotform https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MQA0BMT/
Mercer Culinary Offset Serated Bread Knife https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01F35UGWS
Flour Water Salt Yeast: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/160774273X
You'll also want to grab a clear round plastic storage container for your starter. Amazon doesn't have any good deals on them but it seems like Walmart/Home Depot/Gourmet Warehouse may have some. FWSY has a recommendation on a size, can't remember off the top of my head.
Once Flourist opens up it'll be the place to grab your flour from.

I liked this book too 109 Hikes of the Lower Mainland
Here's one I haven't read but it's the same author: 103 Hikes Southwestern British Columbia
Hundreds of possibilities .. easy ones are Lynn Canyon, Cap, Stanley Park, Lighthouse Park, do all the beaches, Minnekhada, Colony Farm, Seymour Demonstration forest, +1 on Pacific Spirit, Deer Lake
I have this SAD lamp. Works on a timer and it is nice to wake up to. Other than that, I like to bike everywhere and always book a trip (even if it is only small) in February for something to look forward to.
Good luck!
For a quick and dirty guide, you can try Bill Phillips' Body for Life. It has illustrations and descriptions for some very basic exercises, and what I like about it is that it explains what muscle groups you are targeting and why, and recommends plans for each day of the week. There are also diet recommendations, but you should eat more vegetables than they suggest. And don't buy his rotten shakes, they are gross.
I did the twelve weeks, and the transformation was indeed dramatic.
Edit: It was pretty popular, so you can probably find it at thrift stores or used book stores.
I love my Aukey dual dash cam. Cheaper too. https://www.amazon.ca/AUKEY-Wide-Angle-G-Sensor-Dual-Port-Charger/dp/B075VRXRD6/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543073327&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=aukey+2cxh
​
Also previous had the Spy Tec G1W-C which was also very good, but I wanted a front and back camera.
https://www.amazon.ca/Spy-Tec-G1W-CB-Capacitor-Camera/dp/B00YZ5G2GC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1543073403&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=g1w-c&psc=1
This one : https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01MFAK888/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just look up A119 and you will get a ton of info.
It was pretty affordable.
I did my research on sd cards too, make sure you get one that works for dashcams.
If any of you are interested in finding out the real cause and credible solutions to the 'affordability crisis', read Mian and Sufi's "House of Debt". http://houseofdebt.org/ http://www.amazon.ca/House-Debt-Recession-Prevent-Happening/dp/022608194X
While it is true that land use, housing stock, immigration (or more topically, capital flight) have made and impact on affordability, the main cause of Canada's housing bubble is the availability of cheap credit and the ease of obtaining credit.
For everyone who says that "housing prices only go up", you only need to look as far back as 2008 when housing prices plunged but immediately recovered because of the reduction of the Bank of Canada's overnight lending rate, reduced downpayment requirements for borrowing, and the availability of 40 year amortizations. All of which brought down monthly debt service costs to an 'affordable' rate for new entrants to the housing market.
And for again, for those of you who think house prices never go down, take a look at what's happening to Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg's housing markets right now.
bottled water is also bad.
There are ways to test your water if you are concerned. A brita filter can reduce lead levels as well.
because post communist russia is complete shit. many chinese people like mao because, dispite some mistakes, they see him as a savior that took china out of a period of extreme corruption. also, a good book about post-mao china that i recommend is this one:
https://www.amazon.ca/Deng-Xiaoping-Transformation-China-Vogel/dp/0674725867
Amazon US has Macbook Air 128gb for $800 USD. Thats about $1060 when on Apple.ca is $1449.

You could get regular popcorn kernals from the grocery store, and then get yourself some flavacol to make your popcorn.
https://www.amazon.com/Gold-Medal-Prod-Flavacol-Seasoning/dp/B004W8LT10?th=1
You get quite a lot in a carton considering you only use a little bit with each batch of popcorn made, so it should last you at least a year.
This is the stuff they use at movie theatres to make them so tasty.
Exercise, especially cardio, can work wonders.

I know, it's a camaraderie thing, and a whole bunch more besides. It can sure feel hostile if your not used to it - the Brits are a complex lot.

The Pirate Bay. I normally don't pirate things but textbooks are the exception. The industry is a monopoly and a scam designed to suck money out of broke students because they have no other options. Seriously, is there much difference between the 12th and 13th edition? Nope, it's a scam. $300 for a 700 page book and we only use 100 pages of it? Scam. Seriously, has undergraduate Calculus/Physics/Psycholgy/Biology/etc. changed that much in the last 40 years? Nope, it's a scam.
I might get slammed here, but my textbooks, if I were to buy them would cost $700 per term - that's $1400/yr. For a 5 year program that's $7000. I do buy some books books but I try to buy previous or international editions. Some books (Electrodynamics by Griffin for example) are worth the price because they are well written books with meaningful changes to each new edition (only 4 editions in 30+ years) - not just re-ordered exercise problems to cash in on the 13th edition (Fuck you R.C. Hibbeler, I used the 4th edition of your book and did just fine!)
If you do buy books, check craigslist for previous editions, use ABEbooks.com. Many of my most valuable books that I still have and use I picked up for $5-10 and were often only a year or two old.
Edit: spelling
I really dug Sam Wiebe's two mystery novels. Invisible Dead came out last month. Picture a tough-as-nails PI on a cold case drinking a pint at St. Augustine's one minute then sprinting through the North Shore Mountains the next. It's not non-fiction but captures the city well and explores B.C.'s missing and murdered women tragedy.
