2024.05.14 12:01 Plane-Floor-1237 Question About Grant Morrison's Action Comics Run

Question About Grant Morrison's Action Comics Run
I just finished the first volume and thought it was great. I particularly liked all the stuff in the early issues (when Superman is still wearing the jeans and t-shirt). It felt like a homage to the early Superman stories where he really is a champion for the downtrodden and does stuff like throwing corporate fat cats into the river.
I didn't like the final issue as much once he got into the costume as it seemed to become more 'conventional' Superman. (It's Morrison so it's still amazing writing and creative but it felt different than the earlier issues I just described).
Do Volumes 2 and 3 follow the style of the earlier stuff or are they a departure? Would appreciate any advice as my library only has the first volume so I'd need to buy them :)

2024.05.14 10:47 Historical-Grand-795 gel nails at home

I wanted to start doing gel nail polish at home and was wondering what brands you recommend. I am willing to invest in a good lamp and good quality gel nail polishes to give me close to salon quality results. I've seen people have conflicted opinions on OPI and other brands, so I am not sure what to buy. I live in Canada so beyondpolish is not an option which is where I was originally planning on buying my stuff. Please let me know what brands you recommend and where to buy them. Thank you!!

2024.05.14 10:35 Mental-Obligation-97 A little help with which Laptop to go for

My budget is around USD 1200 or CAD 1600, the reason for adding both USD and CAD is i'm not from there and laptops are really expensive where i'm from so imma get it through a friend in the CANADA whos willing to drive down to the US if necessary
What will i do with that laptop?
That's pretty much the important part. I'd like something with international warranty and rtx 3060 or above. Battery life yeah i don't mind imma keep it plugged in anyways. I hope to avoid any laptops with major issues like the 14th GEN LOQ and others
Thanks for you time and recommendations. I plan to buy it within the month if possible

2024.05.14 10:32 Aware-Impression8527 Is Daylesford Organic the blueprint for American Rivera Orchard?

Daylesford Organic is a lifestyle brand in England. It started as a farm shop -- more of a vegetable boutique really -- but diversified into homeware, recipe books, garden tools, pet products, skincare, and wellness accessories. In short, all the things we know are covered under the ARO trademarks.
The brand grew slowly and (forgive the pun) organically. It's the passion project of Lady Carole Bamford. The company is solvent now but it was running at a loss for YEARS. They could absorb the losses because the Bamfords have pots and pots of money.
I say all this because Daylesford is a real place in Oxfordshire. And it happens to be five miles from the farmhouse in which Meghan and Harry lived before they moved to Canada. It is where the influencers lunch on their way home from the Soho Farmhouse. Meghan almost certainly frequented it.
Daylesford's brand is and always had been cohesive and meaningful and even though some things are eye-wateringly expensive, there are enough reasonable priced things for aspirational middle-class people to buy into the lifestyle.
Lady Carole is new money but it's lonnnnng money. She epitomises quiet luxury and would not be seen dead traipsing through her kitchen in a ball gown. She is discerning but not pretentious and, above all, kind. Even if Daylesford is the inspiration, Meghan is going to need a lot of capital to get it ARO and an impeccable team to get it off the ground. I very much doubt that the mind behind Haribo will be up to the job...

2024.05.14 06:50 tinkerellabella Seeking Advice on Marital Troubles and Potential Sale of Our Home

Hi Reddit,
I'm in need of some advice regarding my current marital situation and the potential sale of our home. To give you the full picture, I'll start from the beginning. Apologies for the length, but I feel all the details are necessary to understand the context.
I (29F) met my husband (40M) on Tinder four years ago. We dated for about eight months when my family had an opportunity to purchase a property. My then-boyfriend was also looking to be involved in a business deal of that sort, and he was interested in having his name on the property as well. My father supported this, seeing as how my boyfriend was a physician with a good income, and saw this as a way to bring him closer to our family. The opportunity came quickly, and we all signed the contract to purchase the house.
Trouble began shortly after this. My boyfriend requested that only he and I be on the title of the house, removing the rest of my family, as he saw a future with us and envisioned it as our potential family home. My father was very pleased to hear this and supported it, so we obliged. During this time, the property had increased in value, and I requested the other family members be paid off so we could buy out their shares. My boyfriend declined, feeling it was unfair.
To skim over some details, here are the highlights of the construction: My boyfriend paid more for the down payment than we initially realized would be required. Because of this, he paid no further construction costs. The construction proceeded with debt from my family until the construction loans came through. My family paid for the construction, and my father built the house for us without charging for his management services. My father was displeased with my boyfriend’s behavior and required him to pay more money for the construction due to inflation and the COVID shutdown. My boyfriend declined, and my mother and I secretly took out a line of credit to front the construction costs to my father, pretending it was from my boyfriend. Eventually, as we got the construction loans on a rolling basis after meeting construction milestones, my mother’s line of credit was paid off.
During this time, my family and I wondered why my boyfriend had not proposed. I decided that if he hadn't proposed by a certain time, I would leave him. Fortunately, he did propose on Valentine’s Day 2022. By spring of 2022, construction was coming to an end, and it was time for us to settle into the house. My fiancé felt uncomfortable with how much money he had put into the house and was worried I could leave him and make a profit. I promised him I wouldn’t leave him, but it wasn’t enough. He said he would believe me if I had a child with him, otherwise women would leave men if there were no ties. I told him I would have a child with him right when we got married. He suggested I come off birth control, as it takes months for a woman’s cycle to normalize after being on birth control for many years. I promised him I would come off birth control.
Coming off birth control was more stressful than I realized. I was very hormonal, breaking out, and felt unlike myself. This contributed to my fiancé and I fighting more than usual. In one particularly heated fight, I told him I would go back on birth control and even purchased the pills, but he told me he would break up with me if I did because he wanted to get to know the real me. I conceded, and then something switched in me and I became excited at the possibility of having a baby. I started tracking my cycle and figuring out my ovulation days. I shared this with my fiancé, and on one of those days, we got pregnant. I didn’t find out until the end of summer 2022. When I did find out, I told my fiancé and suggested we should probably get married.
My fiancé's first response was that we should wait to see if the baby sticks, and if it does, then we can plan a marriage but he wanted to wait until February 2023. I was very disappointed and angry and yelled at him. I felt alone and overwhelmed by the thought of having an illegitimate child. After discussing potentially getting an abortion, potentially breaking up, and potentially selling the house, I talked my fiancé into keeping the baby and getting married. He also wanted to keep the baby but was afraid of our situation. After many fights about when to have the wedding, we finally decided on December 2022. At that point, I was four months pregnant. During this time, my fiancé and I had major arguments that therapy couldn’t even remedy. We would yell at each other, slam doors, I would cry, and he would hold himself up in a room for hours. We had nice moments too, but they were heavily clouded over by the bad.
Finally, we got married, and things were good for a while. But then we faced some marital problems. My husband kept separate accounts and managed the finances himself. We had a joint credit card where I could pay for expenses without being questioned. He made all of the major investment decisions and major purchases. If I tried to disagree or speak up, he would get upset because this was not the submissive wife I had promised him I would be. I made significantly less money than him but lived a good lifestyle, buying almost anything I wanted within reason. Coming from a traditional family, I was upset that finances were kept separate. And so it continued that my husband would invest tens of thousands of dollars into our house so that his family from out of town would visit. We live in Vancouver, Canada, but his family is from Ottawa. In hopes of luring his youngest sister (of four) to Vancouver, my husband would make any modification to the house that his youngest sister showed the slightest interest in. This included a hot tub on the rooftop, a media system in the basement, a movie projector, and much more. After said sister got married, she made it clear that she would not move to Vancouver. Then a switch happened in my husband, and he suddenly wanted to sell the house.
Meanwhile, during all this time, I had my baby, and my husband and I were still fighting more than ever. I felt no support from him, and he felt drained by his work, our fights, and being away from his family. Recently, for the past three months, he has been consistently pushing for the sale of our house. This is where my dilemma lies. I am afraid to sell this house because my husband has kept finances separate, and the mortgage on this house has been serving as a way for me to feel secure. My husband contributes a monthly amount on a regular basis. He could have forced a sale in the past but didn’t, instead paying into the monthly mortgage on top of other bills. Now, he is considering forcing the sale of our house, but I am upset that he is citing financing as the issue when I have been begging him to save money instead of spending (his response is that $200,000 does not affect a $2M mortgage, and that he now feels burnt out and wants to retire sooner and live passively). If I don’t agree to sell, I feel unstable about moving from our home given that my husband and I fight so frequently, and I am left alone to take care of the child. It is also worth noting that my parents live right across the street and come over frequently to help with the child, or I would go over to seek their help. My husband says that he feels abandoned and uncomfortable frequently because of our proximity to my parents, but I am because there have been times when I felt truly alone, and my parents were my only solace and support. My husband would ignore me for days, especially when I was postpartum and vulnerable. My parents now see my husband as someone who doesn’t put his wife and child first. My husband says that the massive mortgage we have is too stressful for him, and he can’t take that burden. I am sad that my husband will not consider keeping this house for another three years so that I can get comfortable with the idea of selling the house and that potentially I and my family can all move to Ottawa so that we can allow my husband to be closer to his family.
I don’t know what to do at this point, Reddit. I’m currently on extended maternity leave, but it ends in six months. My husband and I will have to come to an agreement about the house, otherwise, it is likely that he will force the sale of the house even if I’m not ready to move. I’ve consistently felt rushed and overlooked in this relationship. I am tired of being the small voice that does not impact decision-making. My husband is now being nice to me and trying to show me a good time, but I see it as him turning on his charming mode so that I can say yes to the sale of this house. I’m not sure what to do. Our fights and disagreements are so bad and the marriage feels like doom sometimes (never any physical violence). I sometimes questions even staying with him, but I worry for my daughter. He is a good father to her, when he is present and off his phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.14 05:55 aclcjc92 Looking for life and financial advice

Hi everyone,
I have been trying to call into the show but have no luck getting through so turning to Reddit and Facebook for advice.
My wife and I are debt free. I am 32, she is 37. I have a job where I make $230,000 per year and she makes $60,000 for a household income of $290,000. We have $80,000 saved up and are adding about $7,500 per month to savings after living expenses and taxes (50%).
We currently rent a two bedroom condo in Vancouver, BC for $3,600/mo but got notice that our landlord is selling at the end of September. At that point we would have about $130,000 in savings.
Before asking my question, I want to preface it by noting that my job security is extremely unstable. I work in an industry (forecasting analysis and media) where my job is dependent on my audience and my audience attention is directly tied to performance of my predictions. It's competitive and everyone is always one bad year away from becoming far less valuable.
I am looking for advice on our best path forward. The options I see are...
  1. Continue to rent in the $3,500 - $4,000 range where we are comfortable, live in an area we love and not be tied down to a home. Save as much as possible for as long as we rent. Invest the $7,500 a month in mutual funds. If work holds steady until I am 40 and wife is 45, we would live where we enjoy the country the most and have $1M in investments at 6% return.
  2. Buy a condo in the area. There are options in the spot we like at the $900,000 mark, which would put us around $5,200/mo at current rates at 25 years. I know Dave recommends the 15 year fixed, I honestly can't find one in Canada with lenders (advice here is welcomed too). That would put us around $7,000/mo if we can get a 15.
  3. Move to another area (Saskatchewan where I am from) and buy a detached house with a yard for $400,000. Wife and I are not opposed to this, I have family there, we would have friends, but we would be back in winter for 6 months a year (which we moved here to avoid).
Everything I read around me pushes me towards buying a home and that would be exciting. I do feel like the stress and emotional turmoil of getting one, feeling like the place is home and god forbid having something happen to the job and not being able to recreate the income would be a disaster. If we buy and I lose this job, there is no way we can afford to live in BC. Saskatchewan would be much more realistic. The chance of that happening in the next 3-5 years is probably 15-20%. The other 75-80% would be that income increases in which case it's a dream to own a home where we are in BC and not that stressful at all. I don't know if it is worth the risk?
On the other hand there is huge risk that comes with investment. The idea of having $1M in investments at 40 with no debt is amazing, but I am the last person on earth to know where the market is going to be 10-15-20 years from now.
I don't know what to do here! What's your take?

2024.05.14 05:26 Galaxy91122 DD base/wheel for PC only or for PC and PS5?

Howdy, allow me to explain my situation.
So I am looking to get into sim racing with a DD wheel/base, I already have a fairly robust PC set up I've been using for other games (RTX 4080, 5900x, 32gb ram, triple monitors etc.) that I've built up over the years and I'm currently brand new to this space (Not in any current eco system and would likely clamp my set up to my desk).
I also own a PS5 and grew up playing a few of the GT games, namely GT3 and have been eyeing GT7 for quite some time now and while I understand it's not the same GT game I remember so fondly by all accounts it still seems like a decent game.
Where I'm faced with a dilemma is that as far as I can tell in my research the only 2 DD bases that work with a PC and PS5 (natively) are Fanatec CS DD+/DD Pro and the Logi G Pro. I also know Fanatec are currently going through a lot of customer service issues (along with the fact it seems like they're bankrupt and Corsair are buying them). Not to mention that where I live (Canada) it is MUCH easier to get the Logi G Pro.
So if I want to play GT7 or any future console only wheel supported games I'm stuck with the G Pro. HOWEVER, If I forgo the PS support then I will have other options that have a much greater ecosystem and potentially better products (Moza, Simagic, etc.).
What I'm wondering is do people think GT7 is worth playing with a DD Wheel/base or should I skip GT7 and stick with PC only? I don't really want to use one of the 3rd party devices to make a Moza or other base work as I've heard a number of issues with input lag.
Edit: To add I am looking to also play more in formula style cars (iRacing, RF2, F1), so I know anyone outside of Logi will have more options
Any input is appreciated!

2024.05.14 02:49 Typical-Collar1320 real side hustle for people who actually wanna make money

every reseller on earth is gonna come after me for this but if you guys want free sauce im gonna tell it to straight. first of all this is not affiliated with anything or any company. so let’s get straight into it VAPE RESELLING: people all over wanna sell you and tell you bullshit on how this actually work just so they can make money off of you and make you buy their products, so do not listen to anyone when it comes to this except me ive done this for 3 years straight and it’s made a insane amount of money. step 1: go to DHGATE and search for mrvi bars and find sellervape store and yeah yeah you guys can say whatever you want about DHGATE but if you want free sauce this is how it’s done and how you get the lowest price. if you didn’t know DHGATE is a shipping agent they do not house any products so all the stores on the site make vape products and they do this for the big reason that they have a US trade show every year and year after year the US company’s pick a vape from DHGATE to buy and package it for sale in the United States so trust me when I say DHGATE is where you get vapes that are actually quality. step 2: order the vapes and wait for them to show up. DH GATE is by far the best site to order from for the biggest reason is they have payment back guaranteed. so your payment is always safe plus I live in Canada and get 50mg vapes and they never get stopped at customs ever even tho 50mg is illegal is Canada where I am it’s never been a issue. step 3: how to market a product if you don’t know anyone who wants a vape. the easiest way is Snapchat if you didn’t know Snapchat has the best location algorithm on earth so basically you sign up to Snapchat with a brand new g mail and then you turn on precise location and then from there you make your Snapchat name #1 VAPEPLUG then and you wanna post a story 24-7 that has your vapes showing and flavours and price in the picture and then from there you just spam quick add over and over and over from there that’s how you get your clients for vapes that you don’t know.
Basically you pay around 4-6$ a vape and turn around and resell for 40-50$ a piece you basically just have to keep in mind that you are competing with the other vape stores so make sure you get a product that has more benefits then the stores whether that’s more puffs or better flavours or a digital screen or more nicotine in mg content
that’s the free sauce if you have any questions or are more interested I can teach you personally. but all the free sauce is there but if you wanna learn more or different hustles then you can feel free to message me but just thought I’d hand out free sauce for you guys so many people are struggling now days to make more money and with the shit economy now days i thought I’d add some good in the world. Rather than all the bullshit scams out there. have a nice day everyone happy hustling

2024.05.14 01:55 lalaen Beginner’s Guide to Taobao

Would love to add more links, search terms and shopping service recs to this post! I am NA-based so anything specific to other countries highly appreciated.
Taobao is a Chinese marketplace-style website. Seeing as it is in Chinese and you need to use Chinese search terms and a shopping service, the learning curve is fairly steep compared to a lot of online shopping. I've been shopping on Taobao for 10 years, so here is my best attempt at helping you learn how. I live in Canada, so for those with experience specific to non-NA countries please let me know and I can add more info on that.
I use Chrome to browse Taobao, because it can automatically translate into English. I'll also have Google Translate open in a tab set to 'Chinese Simplified'. You WILL need to make a Taobao account in order to browse the site (they've gotten worse about this, you may find that you need to log back in if you leave your computer idle for too long). I believe you need your phone to scan a QR code for this. Now, you can go ahead and type your search term into Google Translate, copy and paste into the Taobao search bar, and you're ready to go. Taobao is also great at suggesting search terms (if you paste 'lolita', it'll offer you searches for lolita shoes, headwear, dresses etc)
I personally ctrl+click anything I want to see to open it in a new tab so I can compare as I go!
When you're looking at a listing there's a few things you should look at. - The price is in Chinese yuan. Usually my browser puts my local currency underneath it, but if that's not the case keep that in mind and use a currency converter. - In the top lefthand corner is the shop name and under it is the rating. The rating system is 1-5 hearts, then 1-5 diamonds, then silver crowns, then gold crowns. Diamonds and silver crowns are most common, this part seems largely based on number of sales. Be a little wary of stores with hearts - sometimes they're just new, or small handmade stores, but they're often poor quality/scammy. - Next to that, across the top bar, are 3 numbers that are usually 4.something. This is the rating customers have given the store. Anything under 4.6 is for sure pretty bad. - The right hand side of the bar has an 'enter the shop' button you can use to look at other stuff in the store
Make sure you look at the pictures in the listing. Ideally, they will be high quality and unique pictures, a nice set of them that shows images of all angles and details of the product. If you're searching around comparing different listings, you will notice a lot of them steal photos or use the same photos. These tend to be the listings you get a mass-produced, low quality product from... not always wish/temu quality, but often! Sometimes it's worth the risk, sometimes it isn't. You'll also start to notice a sort of 'floor' to the price/quality of various item types. If something is suspiciously cheap, there's usually a reason. 5$ wigs and 20$ JSKs are not going to be good, but 10-15$ wigs and 50-60$ JSKs are generally going to be nice, and if you spend 30 on a wig or 80-100 on a dress, you'll usually be really impressed with the quality.
A few more tips when picking out items: - You will need to pay domestic shipping to the shopping service, it's about 2$ but adds up if you're buying a lot of small items from different shops. Always check out the shop and see if there's anything else you'd like, especially if you're looking for a generic item. - Some items are preordedownpayment. Check with your shopping service to find out how they want these done if you'd like one, and make sure you find the 'final price' (usually listed near the top of the description) - The easiest way to browse stores is often clicking 'view all baby' which is 'all products'. - Most shopping services won't buy things with magnets, batteries or liquids. Some will, but will only ship them through the most expensive shipping methods, so be aware of that! They're also a bit weird about electronics and wooden items. - In case you're looking at cosplay stuff, prop weapons WILL be seized by customs! - Most clothing items include a measurement chart. It's in cm, and I usually use google translate on my phone to translate the photo (though admittedly I can recognize the character for bust measurement in context, by now lol). Shoe sizes are Chinese sizes, look up a comparison chart to find your size! - Really heavy things will be expensive to ship. - Some items are made to order and will take a lot longer to send to your shopping service. It will usually say it somewhere on the listing.
Once you know what you'd like to buy, it's time for the shopping service. I use Yoybuy, I find it trustworthy and easy to use. There's other good services, but I can't personally vouch for them. With Yoybuy, you simply paste the URL of the item you want into the search bar, and it loads up for you to add to your cart with the same options it had on Taobao. Fill your cart with your items and pay when you're ready. The order will then go through to purchasing, where you can watch and see when each item is successfully bought and shipped. Any issues with the purchasing/items in general will pop up in a chat next to the item, such as clarifying a colour option or telling you a size is out of stock. If you're in NA, all of the action is going to happen overnight. Some things will arrive in 1 or 2 days, some might take up to 2 weeks. Once your items arrive at the service, select them and submit them for shipping. You'll be able to pick from a variety of shipping services with a variety of price points and arrival times.
Shopping service tips: - Shopping services have a service fee. It's usually a percent of what you spend. Back when I started shopping, the ones with the lowest fees were usually difficult to use and/or had bad service, but ymmv. Generally speaking you pay the fee at the time of shipping. - Some services offer photos of items if you need them verified for some reason. They usually charge for this, but it is worth it if you're paranoid about a high ticket item. - Many services allow payment through Paypal, but Paypal is VERY picky about 'sensitive' or 'counterfeit' items. I literally have no idea what flags a lot of these items as sensitive, it seems at complete random to me. I recommend credit card for this reason - though I've heard some of the wire transfer services are preferable in other countries, and I've seen those widely accepted too. - Some shops on Taobao will ship internationally with no shopping service. It's my understanding that this isn't all shops, nor is it all countries they ship to, and they may not have representatives that speak any English, which you may or may not need. You can look into it if you only want things from one shop, but imo it's a lot more trouble than it's worth for people in Canada and the US.
Shipping tips: - It's hard to estimate shipping... freight/SAL used to be approximately 10usd/kg, but I'm pretty sure it's gone up. It will be expensive, but depending on the type of item it isn't that bad. I believe 30$ is the absolute minimum for China to NA. Some of the shipping services also do dimensional weight, so any bulky or long items will throw it off. I presume the shipping services available also depend on country. - Generally speaking, package insurance is optional. I've never lost a package, but I did have one disappear for a bit and I had one water damaged one. Insurance is under 20$ in my experience. - You will need to pick the value you're declaring the package for. I consistently under declare and have never had problems, but I try to keep it reasonable-ish. A 10kg box that's marked as worth 50usd is probably suspicious. - If you want to use SAL it's going to take at least 2 weeks, and it's really inconsistent. So definitely don't use it if you need anything for a certain date. - If you bought anything with liquids, magnets, electronics etc; separate them out and send less items with them. The shipping methods that accept them will be super expensive for anything with significant weight. Some countries may not allow import of these items at all.

2024.05.14 00:30 DirectorCoulson Clearance only stores?

Has anyone else’s local store become exclusively clearance? It’s very strange, I went into my local stores and the entire thing was filled with clearance. I asked the staff and they said the store was permanently only clearance. Has this happened to anyone else?
I’m really disappointed since I live in Canada and shipping is expensive. I fit in size 0-1 now and the selection of clearance is slim. The manager mentioned that they’ll never have a large selection of those sizes because they are the most popular and usually sell at regular price. I don’t know where I’ll shop from now on. I don’t really fit well in the non-plus sized store that carry L-XL. Not to mention they were my favourite jean place and I’m not risking buying those online.

2024.05.13 23:35 Ok-Conference-1336 NEWCOMER PR - Car buying advice

Afternoon Canadian Redditor’s,
I’m looking for some advice on the purchase/financing of a used vehicle here in Canada.
I currently live in Ontario and Ive been using public transport at around $20 a week for passes for the past 6-8 months.
However, I’m now wanting to purchase a vehicle to make life a little easier in regards to transport/access to things in my area of the province. (Note I’m not in a big big city like Toronto so I don’t have as much option)
I’m currently at around 5-7k saved up for a down payment. I know for many people that’s not enough and I’ll probably get laughed at, but I’m not a rich man, I make fairly good money but moving country’s isn’t cheap so hence the slow saving start.
My main questions are:
  1. What would you recommend for a down payment for a vehicle sitting around 18-25k in value
  2. I’ve been advised to look for cars under 100km if possible, however 100-120k is okay if it’s better suited to my budget
  3. Any offers or ways to reduce my overall nightmare experience with working with these car dealerships?
  4. Any recommendations on good insurance companies. Obviously I’ll have to check around once the time comes where I know which vehicle I want however some names would be good
  5. Any other tips. I can’t afford major major high bi-weekly payments or anything monthly over $500 or I’ll be homeless lol.
Seems to be a major problem at the moment where even the worst upkept cars are being sold (wtf are buying these things) for over $15,000 when they are in-reality worth just under $5000 scrap.
Thanks folks.
(Back home in the U.K. it’s easy as all hell, you can buy a used car that will last you for 5+ years for under $2500.. here that doesn’t exist lol)

https://preview.redd.it/tsxynee0i90d1.png?width=3500&format=png&auto=webp&s=616474707538de01b837d7ace47799ab73f53192
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascot Resources Ltd. ( TSX: AOT; OTCQX: AOTVF ) (“ Ascot ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce the Company’s unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (“ Q1 2024 ”), and also to provide a construction update on the Company’s Premier Gold Project (“ PGP ” or the “ project ”), located on Nis
g
a’a Nation Treaty Lands in the prolific Golden Triangle of northwestern British Columbia. For details of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2024, please see the Company’s filings on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca).
All amounts herein are reported in $000s of Canadian dollars (“ C$ ”) unless otherwise specified.
Q1 2024 AND RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
  • On May 7, 2024, the Company announced a $5,000 non-brokered flow through private placement (the “Offering”), the proceeds of which will be used to fund the 2024 exploration program at the PGP. The Offering will consist of 6,024,096 common shares of the Company, which qualify as "flow-through shares" within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “FT Shares”), at a price of $0.83 per FT Share. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur in one or more tranches in or around late-May to mid-June 2024, and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the acceptance of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
  • Rock was introduced into the grinding circuit of the mill on March 31, 2024, and first gold-bearing ore was introduced to the mills on April 5, 2024. On April 20, 2024, first gold was poured as a part of the commissioning process. Commissioning of the processing plant at PGP is ongoing, with commercial production anticipated in Q3 2024. Two gold pours have been completed using gold recovered from the gravity circuit. Another pour from gold recovered from the carbon-in-leach (“CIL”) circuit is anticipated imminently.
  • On February 20, 2024, the Company closed its previously announced financing package for a total of US$50 million from Sprott Resource Streaming and Royalty Corp. and its affiliates (“SRSR”) and Nebari Credit Fund II, LP (“Nebari Credit Fund II”), as described in the Company’s news release dated January 22, 2024. $13,700 of the above proceeds were used to buy back two existing 5% NSR royalties on various PGP property claims on March 15, 2024.
  • On February 20, 2024, concurrently with the above-noted financing package, the Company closed its previously announced bought deal private placement financing, under which the Company issued a total of 65,343,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $0.44 per Common Share, for gross proceeds of $28,751.
  • At the end of Q1 2024, overall construction excluding mine development was 98% complete compared with 86% complete at the end of 2023. A few remaining commissioning activities in the mill are underway. The tailing storage facility was completed and signed off by the engineer of record at the end of March 2024.
  • The new water treatment plant began operations in February 2024. The high-density sludge plant has been successfully commissioned and water is being treated and discharged into the environment. The moving bed bio-reactor (“MBBR”) is complete and media have been loaded into the tanks.
  • As of April 30, 2024, underground development totaled approximately 2,710 metres at Big Missouri and 150 metres at Premier.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECT
Project financing
On February 20, 2024, the Company closed a bought deal private placement for gross proceeds of $28,751 and a financing package of US$50 million for the completion and ramp-up of PGP. The financing package consisted of a royalty restructuring and a cost overrun facility.
Construction progress key performance indicators
At the end of Q1 2024, overall construction was 98% complete, compared with 86% complete at the end of Q4 2023. With first gold having been poured on April 20, 2024 via gold recovered through the gravity circuit, the project construction is 100% complete on schedule and on the most recently provided budget of approximately C$339 million. Commissioning and ramp-up activities in the processing plant and in the mine continue towards achieving commercial production in Q3 of 2024.
Safety
The Project had no lost time injuries in Q1 2024. There was an increase in recordable injuries at the end of the quarter which in part, can be attributable to seasonal changes and the transition from construction to operations. As the Project continues its transition from construction into operations, focus has been placed on the ongoing development of standard operating procedures, in field job hazard analysis and worker training. There was a small increase in property damage reported in the quarter due in part to weather conditions and the onboarding of a significant number of new workers to the site. The re-enforcement of reporting to the operating team remains a key focus to ensure that all learnings are identified and applied to prevent re-occurrence and reflect in the future training plans. In Q2 2024, significant work will be placed to support the operational teams to begin to operate the newly constructed plant through the final stages of C4 and C5 commissioning.
Processing plant and site infrastructure
Mechanical and electrical work in the mill was substantially completed in Q1 2024 with minor associated systems and punch list items to complete. Focus has shifted to commissioning the process plant and ramp up as well as completing minor deficiencies.
Stage one of the tailings storage facility (“TSF”) raise was completed and accepted by the Engineer of Record for use. Earthworks activities in 2024 will focus on raising the spillway dam by three metres, producing material for the 2025 raise and advanced work on the Cascade Creek Diversion in preparation for the 2025 works and final completion of the diversion.
The new water treatment plant was substantially mechanically and electrically completed in Q4 2023 with some minor areas remaining. The high-density sludge circuit was commissioned in Q1 2024 and is advancing towards full ramp up. The MBBR circuit was substantially complete in Q1 2024 and will begin full commissioning as the process plant continues to deposit tailings into the TSF and feed nitrogen species into the MBBR circuit.
The site power reticulation was completed in Q1 2024. Sustaining capital works in 2024 will focus on reticulation to the Premier portal as well as the Big Missouri portal.
Mine development
Procon Mining & Tunnelling (“Procon”) a mine contractor with extensive experience in BC and the Golden Triangle continued to advance mine development at two portal areas: S1 about 9 kilometres north of the mill which accesses the Big Missouri and Silver Coin deposits, and the mill adjacent Premier Northern Light (“PNL”) portal which accesses the Premier and Northern Light orebodies. As of the end of Q1 2024, Procon had about 57 people on site, 40 of whom were miners and 10 were maintenance personnel.
At Big Missouri, Procon advanced development into several ore headings in the A zone, as well as reactivating the S1 ramp heading that goes to Silver Coin deposit. In Q1 Procon developed 936 metres at Big Missouri (258 metres in ore and 678 metres in waste, and by April 29, 2024, development advanced to 905 metres in waste and 507 metres in ore total in 2024. Including the development completed in late 2022 and late 2023, the total development to date is approximately 2,710 metres in both ore and waste. Productivities at Big Missouri have continued to improve, with availability of key equipment such as Maclean bolters being made a priority.
During Q1 2024, the geological team continued to encounter high grade material occurrences in both face sampling and probe hole drilling in multiple areas of the A zone. As previously reported, these occurrences are in or very near existing wireframes or logical extensions of wireframes. At the end of March 31, 2024, a total of approximately 30,000 tonnes of ore was mined from Big Missouri and stockpiled at Diego pit.
At PNL, Procon dealt with issues related to near surface structure and weak ground. These issues seem to have abated at the end of April, and Procon has started to make better progress as they move into the better ground conditions expected at Premier given what was seen historically. In Q1 2024 approximately 85 metres were advanced at PNL, and at the end of April this increased to approximately 150 metres as ground conditions improved.
Mining development is being advanced down into the Premier deposit for initial mining in the Prew Zone, with ore development now anticipated to begin in early Q3 2024, and initial longhole stope production following later in Q3 2024. The ramp has been strategically laid out to allow for underground drilling on the Sebakwe Zone in 2024 and will eventually connect a footwall ramp over to the 602 area at the southern end of the Premier deposit. Although progress has been slow, the quality of the resultant work with ground control and shotcrete arches has been excellent, allowing for a secure and stable ramp for the life-of-mine production to come from this area approximately 350 metres from the Premier Mill.
Recruitment
At the end of Q1 2024, total site recruitment has reached approximately 90% of the planned operational team. A key achievement was the successful recruitment for some challenging roles pertaining particularly to some of the maintenance roles, health and safety (specifically, mine rescue), and technical roles for the mine and processing area. Policies and procedures development have been ongoing throughout Q1 2024 and key documents will be rolled out in Q2 2024.
Permitting and Environmental Compliance
A Joint Permit Amendment Application (“JPAA”) was required to be re-aligned with the project completion dates and was submitted in October 2023. The JPAA underwent first round comments through February 2024 and second round comments were received in late April 2024, with our responses anticipated to be submitted in May 2024.
The air permit was received on March 25, 2024. The updated environmental permit PE-8044, including the sewage treatment facility discharge permit is anticipated to be received in late May 2024.
2024 EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Planning for the 2024 exploration program is in full swing with an anticipated start date in late June. There are several areas on the properties that will be targeted by new drilling. Near the Premier mill, several drill holes have been planned around the Prew and Sebakwe zones of the Premier deposit. The new holes will complement the existing drill pattern at Prew and test induced polarization geophysical anomalies from last year’s survey.
Additional drill holes have been planned for the Big Missouri deposit where underground development is rapidly providing access to different parts of the deposit. The new holes will be designed for resource conversion and mine plan addition at this deposit. Specific new drill targets have been identified at the Day Zone on the western edge of the deposit, where geophysical anomalies seem to outline previously untested mineralization along strike of known ore zones.
Additional exploration drill holes are targeting a large geophysical anomaly to the west of the Dilworth deposit that extends surface showings to the north onto Ascot’s PGP property. This target has a large strike extent and may require drilling over more than one exploration season.
The Company anticipates a drill program of between 15,000 and 20,000 metres distributed over the areas described above. The program will require utilization of two drill rigs into late September or early October 2024.
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024
The Company reported a net loss of $6,208 for Q1 2024 compared to $7,589 for Q1 2023. The lower net loss for the current period is primarily attributable to a $2,170 decrease in the loss on extinguishment of debt and a $1,196 decrease in financing costs, partially offset by increases in other expense categories.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As at March 31, 2024, the Company had cash & cash equivalents of $47,028 and working capital deficiency of $33,030. The working capital deficiency is caused by an estimated $23,024 as the current portion of the deferred revenue only to be settled with future production from the Project and the $25,180 value of the Convertible facility, which is classified as current due to the lender’s right to exercise the conversion option at any time at a variable exercise price. Excluding these non-cash current liabilities, working capital was $15,174. In Q1 2024, the Company issued 67,807,135 common shares, 10,164,528 warrants, and granted 110,000 stock options and 28,667 Deferred Share Units. Also, 100,766 stock options expired or were forfeited, 24,427 Restricted Share Units were forfeited, and 99,039 stock options, 137,533 Deferred Share Units and 158,726 Restricted Share Units were exercised in Q1 2024.
MANAGEMENT’S OUTLOOK FOR 2024
In 2024, the Company will transition from the construction of the mine and related infrastructure to the operation of the entire site and becoming a gold producer. Despite the challenges associated with this transition, there are many opportunities for the Company to grow and create value.
The key activities and priorities for 2024 include:
  • Making health and safety a priority in the commencement of operations
  • Completing the commissioning of the process plant
  • Completing the access ramp and starting the mine production at the Premier deposit
  • Continuing to expand the mine production and development at the Big Missouri deposit
  • Shipping and selling of gold doré
  • Advancing the exploration and infill drilling program on the numerous opportunities to increase resources
  • Compliance with the environmental requirements of the site and making sure water treatment and the tailings management facility operate as designed
  • Successfully transition from a mine developer to a mine operator

2024.05.13 23:11 OnMyWay4545 Separated wife says she wishes I was the man I am now 2 years ago, is there any way of turning this around? Can one gain respect back?

5 months ago we separated, I moved to Canada from the US for our relationship, changed jobs, left family and friends..in a province where the people speak French
Main reasons for the separation
So we met for the first time in 5 months…I just can’t believe I screwed up this much…she was just trying to move the relationship along and I kept on stalling…
yet as mentioned, I moved to another country for the relationship and did agree to have a family just needed to settle in the new place first
She said she wishes I was the man I am now 2 years ago…which stings.
She also was trying to check out my new apt after we met up, coming up with excuses to come in, etc. i said maybe another time I can have you up
There’s really nothing you can do to repair after issues like this occur eh? How can I regain the power?

2024.05.13 22:55 bunniesandbirdz im getting away with doing such little work

im a phd student (canada) and am entering what i think is my third..? year of grad school in less than a month. i feel like im at a point where i like what i do, i have a great work-life balance, and i finish my work pretty quickly too. i used to have problems with my time management and always felt tired and overworked, but i came up with a new time management schedule in the past couple of months that has helped me a lot:
-#1: i work in person 4 days a week, and i work at home one day a week (preferably near the end of the week). i am a STEM student so my in-person days are either data collection days in the lab or lab prep days. the work from home day is for data analysis, meeting prep, planning, and lit review.
-#2: i stopped working on the weekends almost completely. the exception is light data entry or lit review for a meeting prep but i no longer do lab work or heavy data analysis on the weekend. i plan ahead so i dont have to.
-#3: i began recording the exact number of hours i work each day and i tally it up at the end of the week. i only include hours i am geniunely working … breaks to snack or talk or go on my phone are not included. neither is physically being on campus included. if im reading, typing, taking pictures on a microscope, setting up lab materials, collecting data, or in a meeting, that counts.
the problem is, now i feel like my life is so chill LOL. i know i should be counting my blessings but i feel like a bit of an imposter or a fake phd student. ive been sitting at home all day today and have done no work but i honestly dont have to. i dont have any lab work to do; i already set everything up for my experiment tomorrow. i have a lot of lit review and data collection and analysis and comparison completed for this point in my study so i feel like i dont need to stress to write or go do more. my project is also such that i am getting a lot of data points, significantly quicker than my peers. i should be done my data collection in the third year of my phd. i can afford to take it chill right now. but i feel like im doing something wrong.
i always read about grad students who work 40 hours a week but i work like 20-25. my supervisor and industry partner are happy with me and everyone in my research group says i work the most. even the industry partner employees think i work a lot. but im geniunley chilling at home or sleeping or watching tv or reading or buying groceries so much of the work day. i try to work fast when im at school so i can go home early and then i just come home and chill. i’ll still respond to emails but im never really working.
i dont know, i guess im wondering, does anyone else ever feel this? i guess i also feel guilty because i do feel very stressed at some times and the work does get very tiresome at times but in general i like what i do and am not in a bad situation, while my siblings have to work a lot and i feel like when i complain, its just stupid lol. i know a phd is super hard and a lot of people have to work so much. but i feel like im not working enough. maybe i just lucked out on my supervisor or my project? or am i really not working enough?

You are not recommended to try spells to bring a lover back if you are going through the following: You know that your relationship with your ex is toxic and the best painful option to take in this is to move on. It is not a good choice to be in a relationship that is un-natural, one that is built on witchcraft. The love spark as to be their at all times.
Even the most powerful love spell may not fulfill the things that are required for a real relationship to be in place. Love should be natural and if your partner looses interest in you, its better that you let them follow the heart. If one door closes, expect another open infront of you.
Therefore witchcraft or love spells should not be the ultimate solution to mending a broken heart in a relationship, one has to make love exist naturally by doing the right things to your partner, the things that will recapture the inner feelings of love and affection as you did in the start of the relationship.
Only if and when all has been tried and failed to work that one should order for my love spells that actually work, and indeed this will be the last nail in the coffin to fix your troubled relationship permanently.

2024.05.13 22:10 numetalbeatsjazz Looking for a phone that works in US and Canada

I live in Vermont and travel to Canada often for business, and it sucks relying on Wifi to use my phone. I have Straight Talk (CDMA phone). As far as I can see, even if I had a GSM phone, I still won't be able to get it to work in Canada.
Looking for an option where it will work north of the border occasionally. I'm even fine switching providers if need be.
Canada is the most important, but I do occasionally find myself going to Europe, so if there's a plan that works there, that'd be awesome.
Wondering if there is an option to only buy an international plan when I need it? I'm only traveling maybe once every few months.

2024.05.13 22:02 ProBonerCounsel Bosch EasyAquatak to 1/4" quick connect adapters?

I recently picked up a Bosch EasyAquatak 1700 to clean my siding, some pavers, etc and it's worked out quite well. The problem I've encountered is I'd like to buy a foam cannon to wash my car as well and it seems the Bosch proprietary connector will be a problem.
Looking on Amazon I can't seem to find the right adapter to use third party foam cannons, nozzles, etc that use a standard 1/4" quick connect.
Where could I find something to make these additional parts compatible? I'm in Canada if it helps.
Thanks for the advice!

2024.05.13 21:37 will12398743 $YOU the company bougie travelers love to hate.

Hi investors,
I am relatively new to investing so I am hoping to get your feedback. I did a deep dive into $YOU as sort of a practice run so I get more acclimated to the value investing landscape. YOU is particularly interesting to me because it is a simple business, which as a newbie, is important because I can easily gauge its strengths and weaknesses. It has easily identifiable green and red flags.
$YOU is CLEAR which is basically a service where you pay $189 a year to skip the TSA line at the airport to get to the bag-screening portion. With Amex platinum and other various products you get CLEAR membership free or discounted.
YOU management has plans to offer other vertical products as they are an identity verification service. You might've seen their identity verification using Linkedin. They are also trying to break into medical, sports arenas, and enterprise account recovery. Personally I only see value in the latter. They also mentioned possible upsells at the airport like holding your bags. I think that is nonsense.
Green flags:
Red flags
They currently have 6.8 million clear plus members. Approx 49% of Americans reported taking a commercial flight in the past year. I would guestimate that at least 30% of those people take 3 round trip flights or more a year. That leaves a population pool of 44.6 million people whom CLEAR might be an appealing service to (provided they are available where those people are traveling).
Based on their core business, my DCF (based on FCF) of 30% annual growth of 6 years will return $15.98 of value to shareholders and they will achieve 19.4 million paid members. I used a 11% discount rate.
My EPV analysis found that they are worth $3.16 a share with growth factored in.
Obviously not financial advise. I am curious what you might think of the company.

2024.05.13 18:18 uwutmaite Need help with tennis ball machines

Looking to get a tennis ball machine to up my game I’m pretty decent and money isn’t tooooooo much an issue but I’m not sure which ones are good and which ones die quick or poorly made. Also having a hell of a time finding where they sell them (I live in Canada nearish Toronto)
I see they have some on Amazon but I simply don’t trust the reviews or products on Amazon for anything anymore. Would love some help or suggestions where to start and what to look fo buy. Around 2-3k is my budget but if there are cheaper ones that are good I’m super open I just see they are usually quite pricy?
Thanks friends :)

2024.05.13 18:01 Ok_Manufacturer8688 What happened to Palawan?

(20 M) Please note that this is just my opinion. I apologize in advance if I hurt any locals with what I'm about to say.
Background: My family and I used to live in Las Piñas, but then my father got assigned here. (He works in a specific government agency.) I still remember the day we first went to this province, we had our vacation here, also intent on scouting the new house my father bought. It was mid 7 out of 10, but we loved it because it was in the city, and the commute was not a drag.
I studied here for my 9th and 10th grade, then my mother got accepted in Canada for an admin job, so we left. We have just returned after 4 years and damn was I shocked.
Traffic: Holy fuckin shit, from the new airport, which by the way, was also a shocker, we spent atleast 40 minutes in transit because turns out, tricycles were banned from the national roads. (Whatever the fuck that means.) Yes, we do own a car, BUT, the car was left inside our garage, basically rotting for years, soooooo, you know how it is, plus we could have ridden a taxi, but nooooo, my father, being a nationalistic person as he is, convinced us to ride a tricycle because "They were the backbone of the Palaweño tourism back in the day.". (W Dad) We went through a small road passing by a hospital, and noticed that The Legend Hotel was looking kinda ugly, so I diligently asked the driver what happened, if this was a new theme, but then he told me that they went bankrupt. (Goodbye to my birthday parties memories ig) Then, we turned left into a long curvy road, where it lead us to Tiniguiban. (I know Tiniguiban because we live there lol). As we were traveling, I saw buildings from areas where trees used to blossom. Seriously, what happened to all that "The Last Frontier" bullshit.
People's General Mannerism: I don't know if it's the culture shock or something but I found a lot of the locals rude, I asked one "officer-looking" guy where the proper terminal for the jeepney was, and he said "Dun sa dulo, nakikita mo namang maraming tao dun e". Then when I was in Robinson, I asked a security guard where Watson's was and he just pointed to the escalator. "Second floor." Like, okay, I'm sounding a little bit egotistic here, but are they not trained to help people in need?
PRICES, THE FOOOOKIN PRICES! Do they think everyone in Palawan are tourists? When I buy from sari-sari stores, the prices are always double that of one in a grocery, and don't tell me that it's inflation, because we've been to romblon and the prices there are not this steep. The gas?!!!! 70PHP/1.6CAD For a liter? Hilarious.
Overall, I don't like what Palawan had become, but it's not enough of a reason to make me hate staying here. The views are still nice, the city has flourished, but I'm still in shock, after all, we are only 5 months in as of posting this. I think I can understand all of this in the nick of time.
Also also also!! I'm looking for some friends to hang out with, I've lost contact with my past friends here and I'm not desperate enough to try and use facebook again.
I'm sorry for the long read but I just needed to get this off my chest. I am no elitist and I sincerely hope non of you good people get offended. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
