    COVID and the housing market

    Necessity is the mother of _______________ :) If your fam is in the industry, ask to give you a shout if they have any leads. The best time to do this was last year with so many renos. Now, there is some purse tightening happening but I like the handy man idea for the evenings and weekend...

    COVID and the housing market

    I liked Saskatoon, it was a chill place from what I remember. And you're right about Dryden, it had a weird feeling to it, we ate our fish n chips and got the heck out of there in a hurry. I didn't care for Edmonton, felt like Mississauga with pick up trucks :)

    COVID and the housing market

    Start with friends and family if you can stomach it. If not, it's going to be a hard sell. Another way of doing it is, advertise as a handyman and get the contacts and your foot in the door. Go to install a dishwasher or some other appliances, and before you know it, you might be able to get...

    Does insurance for new riders decrease a lot after the first year?

    Been riding since 2005, was paying an average of 1k/year on the liter bikes. For the paste 2-3 years it's been around 1500-1700. So, not always, but it should as you have age with experience. 30 years old is the magic mark along with married status for steep discounts from my experience...

    Cheaper housing on the horizon?

    In 1957, economist Paul Samuelson wrote: "Every bubble is someday pricked. But I have long been struck by the fact, and puzzled by it too, that in all the arsenal of economic theory we have absolutely no way of predicting how long [a bubble] will last. To say that prices will fall back to earth...

    No I'm not kidding you. I was with you but you seem to be on some weird ass tangent. And you seem to be missing the subtle art of building consensus man. El Salvador is pretty bad place for most people due to politics/economics/corruption, hence the amount of people wanting to get the fk...

    Roads to/from Deals Gap!

    Maryville, TN to Ashville, NC have tons and tons of cool options if you haven't checked it out. I did two different routes between both cities and they were super fun roads.

    Covid economy non real estate

    Depends, there is no monolith structure to any of this. The "Bank" or anything enterprise has tons of different teams and they all kind of operate within their own kind of way. Generally, it's kind of a bore if you're stuck doing some silly "make work" project or there is ton of structure if...

    Covid economy non real estate

    Depends which side of the aisle you're on. If you're on the producing side, yea, R&D and devs are more coveted. However, when you're in the consumptions side, it's Operations that rule the world. Good luck getting anything pass the ZOS/DB2 admin or EMC/Fujitus guys to push through your...

    Covid economy non real estate

    There is a subtle difference between Software development and programming. Even though there is a huge offshore component to the work, it's not the same as far as the quality of things you get. Any programmer sitting anywhere should be able to code out whatever you need as long as your...

    Just Came Back From A 6-Week Vacation 4,000 km South

    Dude, I'm with you. But, you can't compare San Salvador to Toronto. I was there around 2004 timeframe, I'm sure things have changed. But it's not the same. You can find trouble very easily in Central America. I was in Costa Rica few years ago, and as nice and friendly things are, you're not...
