At least vapes don't make you smell like an old pub ashtray.

I quit smoking (for the second time) about a month ago, and I've been actually using my vaporizer that I bought last summer. Did you guys know you can actually taste the juice when your nose isn't being annihilated by tobacco smoke? When I was smoking all vaping would do was dry out my mouth.

If they're anything like Alberta body shops. it'll just say "$5k, gently caress you, pay me"

Insurance paying them $1300 a pop to fix thousands of bumper scrapes really skews the prices.
You think Alberta is bad, price out a windshield in BC.

I have someone from a body shop coming out today to quote me repairs on the bed and paint for the truck. I am nervous and excited at the same time because I feel like I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The light has grown more distant, unfortunately.

The tl;dr is that the guy basically told me to buy the replacement bed.

Oh jeez. They're $13 here in Canada, and that's in Canuckian pesos, so more like $8.50 in real money.

This may be the only time something is cheaper on Amazon in Canada than it is in the US.

Costco, Home Depot, and Binny's are stores that I shouldn't go to by myself unless it's "in and out" shopping. It's easy to spend waaaaaay more than I'd planned

Speaking of impulse purchases, I came across a lefthanded guitar and just bought it for the hell of it. It feels so much more natural than any other guitar I've ever held, I can finally change chords without my brain throwing a belt

I've never really given charging ports a second though, always had batteries fail long before anything else, and with the subsidies they used to give on phones, it used to be cheaper to get a new phone than replace the battery.

Now they require you to be over $105 a month to get the subsidy and aww hell naw

You start at $105 and they bill creep your rear end up to $150
My bill is $85 and includes payments on the phone. Wtf are you guys getting to have stupidly high bills?

It was something like $10 :canada: at Costco for a 1.55kg bag, in store deal that ends today.

And I am a very weak willed person. Good thing I took up a martial art and work my rear end off during practice/sparring because if I didn't, holy gently caress would I be fat(ter).

The job I just left had me passing Costco on a daily basis, whereas its about a 20 mile one way drive otherwise.

I quickly learned to only buy what I could carry after I started making 3+ visits a week to "pick up the one thing we need" and would regularly walk out with at least $75 of stuff in a cart.

Yeah, Costco isn't the place you go to pick up one or two things. (For the most part), it's where you go to pick up enough stuff to last you the month.


Or approx. One Sitting if it's a bag of mini-Snickers.

I think you have that backwards, basically everything is $10-$20 dollars. The deal is so good, and the price is relatively low, so it seems reasonable to just keep adding stuff

You just said the exact same thing. Every thing is around 15 bucks, so it's easy to rack that poo poo up quick.
