I never saw these while I was in Edmonton. We had a training facility close to the Ukrainian village 15 miles east of Edmonton, though. Fun times driving through thick arse fog, not having a clue where you’re going in the middle of nowhere Alberta, and d...

I don’t see this working for Edmonton. The downtown is nice, but small for a million person metro. Half the area is cutoff by a large river and the majority of industry is in the south and east section of the region. Also, Edmonton is an oil and gas hub with oil fields surrounding the area within...

I sold a car in California 10 years ago with Louisiana plates. Somehow my SSN is flagged and I can’t get SL. I still cannot get anyone on the phone to tell me why I’m flagged. I’ve called 4 times and waited over an hour with no answer.
I might buy land in MS and never register anything in LA....

Stay in the townhome until rates go back under 5%. Most likely 1-2 years out as inflation is still not going down as anticipated. Keep plugging away at your 401k and HSA as you seem to be in 20-30s. Your money has longer to compound and will be the backbone of your retirement.

My charbroil fell apart in three years. I cleaned it after every use and the LA humidity destroyed it quickly.

I read this the other day. It reads like it was taken from multiple google question and answers.
Zero mention of the depths and pressures the water is injected. It reads like oil producers are just throwing polluted water into drinking water reservoirs. Injection water was some of the nastie...

There’s oil deposits everywhere, but within complex geography’s and amounts that make it uneconomical to drill.
Lookup the Monterey Shale formation in California. It’s one of the biggest deposits in the world, but unattainable due to the viscosity and tight formation. Basically it’s too deep ...

You should read up on Milton Friedman on immigration. Basically he shows that you can either have a welfare state or free immigration, but you cannot have both. Free immigration will sink the system and increase the tax burden on everyone if your economy doesn’t fail first....
