Seigest

I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to investing, so I’m hoping for some guidance. A few months ago, I switched my RRSP to RBC InvestEase and selected the socially responsible portfolio because I wanted my investments to better reflect my values. Recently, I started receiving letters from iShares (BlackRock) thanking me for my investment. I didn’t realize that my money would be going through BlackRock, and I’m not comfortable with that. What are my options if I want my RRSP to: Be managed by a Canadian company Invest primarily or exclusively in Canadian organizations Follow socially responsible investing principles Is this something I can request through RBC, or would I need to move my RRSP elsewhere? Thanks in advance for any advice.

My roommate asked I post this for them.

Recently I've seen everyone making Ina Garten's brownie pudding and it looks so good! The only issue is that it calls for 4 eggs + recipe produces a lot and that felt like too much. I tried seeing if anyone else had made a vegan ver but no luck.

I experimented with a recipe (not a vegan one) from Eleanor Wilkinson.

Here's what I changed to make it vegan:

Instead of half a chicken egg, use 2 hefty tablespoons of Just Egg. Sub vegan butter for real butter. I've had issues with my vegan butter exploding in the microwave even in 30 second bursts so i heat it slowly over a metal bowl on stove stop. I used about 1.5 tbsp vegan butter melted.

FYI: This will not work for other vegan egg substitutes like a flax seed egg or apple sauce unfortunately. Sorry if you don't have Just Egg available, i can't think of an alternative!

Just Egg won't whip up like chicken egg so just mix it with the sugar as usual. (I tried an electric whisk and it still didn't lighten).

As recipe says, bake in a water bath. I baked mine for 30 minutes and some parts were more set up than the bottom. If you don't like it as runny I'd say leave it for 5 more minutes.

Dust with powdered sugar and add vegan ice cream and it's a delish single serving treat 🙂 this is optional step of course lol

I attempted a recipe I was getting from a local diner. You just crumble and squeeze some extra firm tofu in a oat milk bag, and toss it with some curry powder. Then fry it up with some onions, peppers, black beans, corn, spinach and really whatever feels good.

I served it with some fresh seeded sourdough toast from a local bakery and some tater tots (because I'm way too lazy to make proper hash browns)

Easy and delicious

I see all the memes about guillotines for the rich, funny in spirit, but actually building one in the town square is not practical. They take a ton of materials, they are huge, and they do not even work reliably. Would it not make more sense to build one from metal with hydraulic pistons or something? I am not a machinist, but a more mobile unit you could wheel into a square to decapitate a few effigies seems about as effective for sending a message, and easier to remove or relocate if needed.

There was some super loud event last night. Seems to be DJ music. I was hearing it even far from my home because I actually walked for an hour like a madman trying to source it. It's sounded like it was around Sheppard West around Keele. Possibly further north the acoustics are crazy here.

It went late as 12am and it wasn't Rogers stadium this time. Does anyone know what that is was?

I'm not great with details, but I remember reading that many of us in the neurodiverse community struggle with sleep or energy levels.

Back in my early 20s, I went through the whole sleep clinic process. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and mild narcolepsy. They prescribed me a full-face CPAP mask because my mouth doesn't stay closed at night. That didn’t last long I dumped it after 2 months. I’m not a still sleeper — more like a rotisserie chicken — and the full mask just made me choke on my own drool. The doctors were frustrated and not very helpful. It felt like they expected me to control my body even while unconscious.

Now, over 10 years later, I’m going through the process again. Apparently, my body still isn’t getting enough oxygen during sleep, and it’s causing problems.

Still, I can’t help but wonder if the doctors are missing something — like autism as a potential root cause of sleep issues. In my neurodiverse friend group (both autistic and ADHD), I’m the only one not sleeping 12 or more hours a day. So now I’m left wondering what’s really going on — with me, and with them.

A PC is pretty much a space heater these days. Which is not great when it gets all hot and humid outside.

Many suggest just getting a small AC but why not remove the heat from it's source and put it outside?

I imagine the vent being much smaller than the big AC tube pictured.

A birthday gift to myself I'll be 38. This is a plush from Plushie Dreadfuls I'm still learning about myself and working on self compassion. My autism is something I like about myself it's part of who I am. I figured this will help me visualize that part of myself and show it love.

Also this thing is ridiculously soft and very good quality.

It ain't pretty but it'll hold.

I have a grip strengthening thing. It's a fidget tool and is helping with some blood flow issues to my hands.

I was going to get a stronger model as the medium one is a little too easy. Is there a Canadian version of this thing?

I got myself a new Canadian made blood pressure monitor from bios. But I need some AAA batteries for it. Any suggestions?

These strange banana plushies showed up at our local salvation army store. They have no tags or any clues as to what they are. But the store sold out.

My roommate bought a few but he wants more. We think they are cute and you can tie them together in fun ways.

Does any have any idea of these are or where to get more?
