Yes, some need someone to hold their hand and set up auto contribution transactions, annual rebalancing, etc. But the part about 1% being not that much is not true. It is 1% every year. Over time this 'little' amount adds up. I bailed on my advisor about 17 years ago. I built a spreadsheet...

Canadian Money Forum. Although it has recently had pop up ad annoyances.

Your examples are not off. But the RA can have its place for folks who have little desire or aptitude to try to stay on top of the issues you discuss. And by say, keeping cash to a fixed level it can force you to stay invested with the share you commit to equities. That can work for you, as...

Crappy front 'headlights'. A continuous front blinding line of LEDs. No protruding bumpers of any sort. Guaranteeing the merest bump against something will generate a squillion dollars of body damage.

Boiler system needs a way to add liquid ocassionally to its pressurized water low side liquid reservoir Better and more expensive way at time of original design way to do it with an extra rarely used pump system. Cheap way is to use mains water with its own presuure But there should be a check...

Used when pulling in new lines on transmission towers is where you usually see the set up you describe. Typically near where a road crosses a transmission corridor. New wires are pulled in by first rigging a series of pullieys and synthetic mostly insulating ropes strung under some tension...

If the work to move the compressor motor feed source was done by an electician, it is their responsibility to properly label changes. So if you are realy pissed, call in ESA and ask where the permit was, of if self administring the work, where the work log is kept, and is it up to date. Again...

Something went way wrong either in the way the work was being done, or a tool or equipment failure. Power workers are very well trained, and have a ton of protective wear and tools to do the job safely. Below grade vaults use insulated high voltage 'elbows' and 'inserts' to insulate all high...

What license renewal? How do you get those? I discovered my d/l was expired when I went to use it as ID for a bank account. I did not even get an email notification to renew. Only nice rub is with all online it was $90 for 5 years worth of d/l. My credit card I get online, along with gas...

I like old school recorded classical music. LP's - RCA with their Red Seal, and London/Decca with their ffrr line of LP's. Angel, Deutch Grammofon as well. ffrr is nice because they were often just a two mic affair hung in the mddle of the studio and a lot of them are small groups recorded in...

It is probably the sheer mass of the batteries. Most snow tires sort of cut the snow but also float over the crunched snow a bit too. A heavy vehicle will have the tires cut right to pavement, which can be slippier than the snow, since the pressure can turn the snow to water. It is more likely...

Maybe Mina Kerr Lazenby? BC based CTV stuff and digital media. So might have got her media start here without anyone hearing her. I spent 3.5years working in Australia. And after a couple of years I could pick out the Kiwi accent from the Oz one. It is almost like they speak like they have...

Slay me for being a real perv. But in online porn in this genre that I have chased down the rabbit hole from time to time: It appears that sitting in the chair for a long while can sometime lead to some really large outer labia. That is the kink for me, the wheelchair is just a contributing...

Nothing too fancy. Poly filter then RO cartridge then carbon filter. Just to a small faucet on the kitchen sink for filling a water jug that goes in the fridge. And use to fill ice cube trays. And also we use it to make up milk from powdered milk. Using this filtered water the milk taste...

Pyro inside a small club, with a drunk crowd and one exit....What could go wrong? I work for a big company and on each new project I as PM must do a Project Risk Accessment Plan. Then train staff and procure safetly gear to manage identified risk suitably. Or change the work method until risk...
