We probably agree more than I understood - your definition of "hyperinflation" is just drastically different.

I certainly wouldn't bet against 5-10% annual inflation over the next few years by...

^You're even more cynical than me.

I'm not sure why the BoC or Liberals would purposely want consumers to default on debt. That would be bad for the BoC's mandate and bank/price stability and...

It doesn't matter why the inflation is occurring, the banks can't raise rates before wages and profits catch-up to allow households and businesses to cover their debt-service costs. The entire point...

lol at anyone thinking the Fed or BoC or BoE or RBA being able to increase rates to fight inflation in any meaningful way.

Businesses, households, and governments are struggling with debt loads...

Is it a magic coat rack that grows money and weed?

Don't worry, the BoC assures us that inflation continues to be <2% and that excessive Liberal deficits/debt/stimulus (err, handouts) won't lead to excess inflation.

First thought is that he's still hooked on painkillers. Almost feel bad for the guy despite all of his success.

In other news, Governor Macklem has apparently awoken from a 15-year coma.

Yea, but I feel even that differentiation has been so far lost that even when current [L]iberals claim to be [l]iberals they're lying. Same goes for [C]onservatives and [c]onservatives.

I've drifted further to the right for most intents and purposes as I've witness too many examples of corruption and excess/waste along with intrusion into personal freedoms from left-leaning parties...

If I was still a single remote worker I'd be looking strongly into Bulgaria or Georgia. Sure, there's some corruption and bureaucracy in the few administrative chores that would be required but, in...

I'm looking at wagons in Spain - it's nice there are so many options in Europe.

VW Passat, Skoda Octavia, and SEAT Leon ST all appeal to us (we want something we can sleep in the back of on...

Yea, it took a lot longer than I expected but all that hand stitching and trying to come up with the design took time.

Happy to hear you're keeping it up.

I was originally planning to add the...

taemo - thanks again for those measurements. I finally finished my bag and it came in at around 25 Euros in materials and 25 pounds.

It's all saddle stitched by hand with goat and pig leather and...

I haven't been following Canadian industry much but with all the global stimulus and potential for governments trying to squirm away from the debts/deficits through inflation, a commodity supercycle...

He pouted? I must have missed that... I guess his drama teaching days paid off.

Agreed. There's no way Canada would be forced into allowing a pipeline through its lands, particularly when it has already prevented the construction of many that would serve its own interests.
...

Meh. Central Alberta, Sasky, NE BC, and parts of Manitoba are not enough for a separatist movement. Get Southern BC and the rest of the Western Provinces in and I think it has a chance.

Convince the SW of BC and I'm in.

It seems 60% of Canadians are enjoying their "spa bath" as the water heats up - Lib/NDP/Green still polling over 60% despite the colossal spending and vaccine F'ups (not to mention We-Gate &...

Frog in a pot of boiling water is the analogy that I keep hearing. Warm it up slowly enough and maybe we won't even notice that we're all f*cking broke.

It says "Skip to Nosing 4:01" in the introduction but yea, most whisky reviews (and other YouTube channels) have a 5-minute build-up before getting to the good stuff.

One of my favourite Whisky Reviews is Horst (sp?) reviewing Fireball:

Fired up another 6-month subscription with Rightside Roasters out of Barcelona.

1kg/month for 160 Euros (shipped within Spain). I thought it was good value last year and they've stepped up their...

Sadly, the Instagram Mob are also registered voters.

I gave up hope after the 1st question.

I'll take reduce taxes/bureaucracy for $1000, Alex.

With cousins and African slaves/prostitutes?

Liberals won't read a Rex piece (and I often don't agree with him myself) but this opinion piece is pretty spot on:...

Even though dry Jan is over I've been generally sticking to the non-alcoholic beers for the first week of Feb. I've tried half a dozen now and I'd say 3 were shit, 2 are good, 1 is passable.
...

^ I still haven't set-up Spanish banking since I need residency first but hopefully in the next couple of months. There are a couple of banks that operate online and don't have fees so I'll likely...

Nice! I haven't tried any of those yet myself. Any age statement on the BenRiachs?

I was rewarded for successful completion of Dry January with a steal of a deal at the Supermarket: 50% off JB...

Nah, the crazy thing is the fee is payable at banks.... and when I arrived there was a line-up of people waiting to pay for various government forms. I imagine most banks have 1 or 2 full-time...

Latest example of Spanish Socialist Headscratchers....

I need to get my Identity Card for Foreigners. I've already been to an administration office to file the paperwork, the city council to...

This. My wife has a better libido than I do these days!

I've done a "straight-edge" dry January so far and have also kept a healthy diet but today is whisky club day and I'm doing the prezzy on...

How is the Eagle Rare compared to your standard Heaven Hill or Buffalo Trace or Four Roses Small Batch / Single Barrel?

I haven't found a lot of differentiation in Bourbon but have seen some...

In case anyone isn't following all of this GME business, I put together a quick summary for a Facebook post:

$GME is the Financial story of 2021 so far. Quick recap for those not following:

Chamath owned him so badly. If he was born in the US he'd be president in 20 years but probably a governor of California instead.

In case the link goes down:...

Nice work! $45 is a steal.

I don't know the vintage on your bottle but the 2013-2017 go for 30-35 Euros in Spain so the same if not more than what you paid.

Wines that are popular overseas...

Awesome. Happy to hear you're liking it so far.

I'm happy you mentioned you're happy with the 26 lb. size as well as I'll probably start around there and then have the option to scale up with...

You're an absolute rock star!! Even better than I expected - thanks man!!!

Am I correct in assuming that the 5-6cm in the handle are the diameter (i.e. flat measurement across) so the...
