@realEstateTrent Ahh the Mexican car rental tales are similar but so much worse

A dry cleaner ruined one of my shirts recently, and I decided not to do anything about it. Why? They would have pushed back and insisted they didn’t do it. I would have explained why they were wrong, and they would have denied it again. I would have told them I’d never come back unless they reimbursed me, and the back and forth would have continued. Frankly, dealing with that kind of conflict over a shirt that costs a couple hundred dollars isn’t worth my time or energy at this point in life. Yes, people should be held accountable, and there should be consequences for actions, and this stuff should be viewed on a case-by-case. But in this case, it was a no brainer. All downside. I’m just not going to go back. Sometimes you have to weigh the upside, pick your battles, and choose being smart over being right.

@TheWiseIC We are gonna find out if last week was a good time to sell the big banks

My biggest mistake this year was not buying Canadian O&G on the Venezuela dip. I watched all of these names rip 60-70% higher. Sometimes I make mistakes too. $CNQ $SU

@NuggetCapital Won’t touch this thing. Toxic and I’m not smart or savvy, and above all slow. Will hold my cnq

$VET.TO as it gets pumped on X the insiders continue to unwind their stake.

@BarbellFi Rear pads and rotors I guess on a cheap car with cheap parts 100$ so 187 in labour. Maybe not worth it, depends on your wage.

Brought my car in for an oil change It’s a 2019 Nissan Sentra 105,000 miles Walked out spending $1,600 💸

@NickTurco919 A wall stud won’t fail before an engineered joist package so your long term usable life is likely dictated by your floor. The truss work is repairable and just depends on shingle performance

People keep posting this, but does it really make a difference in real life? There have been tens of millions of homes built with the modern lumber and they seem to be holding up well structurally

@JohnPasalis The issue was the type of person that was attracted to large lump sums of crowd sourced funds tended to be exactly the type of operator who’d take the funds and run. See the legendary ‘Danny’ …

Addy, the company that allowed people to contribute as little as $1 to be a "fractional owner" of Commercial and residential real estate is Broke! These business models were obvious top of the cycle nonsense theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/ar…

@dig_deeper1 haha 50%. ive had houses where I was lucky to get single digits. sucks a lot

Building custom homes are an excruciating pain in problem solving for developers. Some developers even ask themselves why they go through that but it pays the bills. I wonder what’s their margin in building custom houses 50%-100% ? Needs to be really high to justify sleepless nights and headaches

@admsteiner @bprintco it is like one of those lambo rental on turo influencer math schemes, buy lambo for 250k, rent it for 2k per day x 4 months, have free lambo!

@bprintco How is the depreciation cost of this machine more than $900??

I just mistakenly underquoted a job. Was in a rush getting to the next quote and fat fingered a 2 instead of a 3. Lady emails me back right away and says we're 3x higher than her other quote. I quoted $2700 and it should have been $3700. She says she got one for $900 You guys... this job could either be done one of two ways... Either you do it by hand and it's going to take a team of 5 guys over a week to do it. Or you have a specialized remote control forestry machine and you can do it in a couple days. We're the only company in the city that does residential that has one. $900 is less than the depreciation cost of this machine for this job even if someone else did have one. So one of these things is true... Either she's about to get scammed out of a deposit, someone is going to try and use a CTL and get themselves killed, or she found someone who has no idea wtf they got themselves into 😂 🤦‍♂️

@RazorOil can I get my meg stock back ?

WOW 🤯 ….and HERE WE GO.....former $MEG.TO Christina Lake production rate will increase to 150,000 bbl/d by 2028 which will make the acquisition closer to $50k/bbl....in my view that's how the upcoming M&A transactions will be communicated to make sure the market understands that the purchaser doesn't overpay even tho initially it may look like they do.... $CVE.TO 🫡🪒

@SanityNow4 @JeromyYYC @ABDanielleSmith the interesting thing about this water fiasco. I pay permanent water bill for irrigation meter on a building, use it 5 months per year. city gets 7 months extra to collect fees it can use for repairs from each of these sprinkler meters at no cost to it.

Raising taxes/levies on Calgarians to pay for City Hall incompetence and past mayor negligence, is outrageous, all while #yyccc still has not even held anyone accountable except apparently the tax payer. @JeromyYYC @ABDanielleSmith #yyc calgaryherald.com/news/local-new…

@mattbaran that is pretty good but im less optimistic on some of those shifts on the left side of the graphic than you are showing

@integerhomes Not only do I extend it to the most common housing, I extend it to no housing.

Would you rather have a bigger park (that you have to pay for), or have your housing become more affordable?

@mattbaran That’s a real stretch when we extend that to the most costly type of home vs the most common type

@integerhomes x.com/berkie1/status…

@rohindhar Looks like a 4 plex

This absolute unit of a home in the Richmond District of San Francisco went under contract in 6 days

@KybrdWrrr Exactly you made my point so I guess we can conclude we are on the same side of this topic

@integerhomes Friend of More Neighbours? It’s also true that there are homes demolished that aren’t past their lifespan. Your definition of better use is open to interpretation depending on wants and needs of the consumer.

Realtor.ca: New townhomes in Calgary inner-city neighbourhoods selling for between $600K to $700K+ in some areas. Those are not affordable. Developers buying inner-city single-family homes for average prices around $800K then selling townhomes between $600K & $700K.

Razor has pointed this out many times, but it's important to repeat here again. Canada has no SPR. Canada could barely save Alberta back in 2018 when WCS-WTI differentials blew out. Canada has one of the best gas basins in the world (Montney) and somehow couldn't even build LNG export facilities, which would be gushing money today due to the Qatar outage. The LNG export facility would've been one of the most prized strategic energy assets in the world (proximity to Asia and low natural gas costs). Yes, it somehow got ~3 Bcf/d, which is peanuts compared to the resource potential. Instead, AECO is going to sit permanently in the shit territory because Canada couldn't get its head out of its ass, as it was one of the first countries in the world to go "woke".

@girdley Does canoe count ? If so I may need to sell mine

Every bankrupt person I know has owned a boat.

@colinushkowitz Tens of thousands? Yeah for design work or maybe property tax.

Becoming a builder/developer without basically unlimited capital is a vanity play. You front tens (sometimes hundreds) of thousands, wait years and you’re the last one to get paid. Makes flipping houses look like the easiest business in the world.

@jamesonhaslam Would be ok if they put siding over that wood sheathing

not to be a hater but, this is reaaaaalllly ugly, right?
