What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
  • I bought a house with these and didn't realize it had this feature for like a year (batteries had died). Now I love it. I find myself taping every faucet it use and am annoyed when others don't turn on.

    I actually bought a handfree soap dispenser to go next to it, which is a great combo. Preparing meat or something, I can clean my hands and tap sink with elbow and not worry about cross contamination of everything.

  • Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA?
  • I moved to the US (California) for 3.5 years. It was actually a great experience. If you work in tech you should be able to make more money in the US and even in a HCOL city you should be able to save some. As other's mentioned the US is a very diverse place and you should be able to find a state/city/neighbourhood that matches your lifestyle and values.

    Sponsorship for a green card is a very long process, and I don't think you can do it from a TN anyway, so you'd need to switch to an immigrant intent visa (H1-B, EB, etc.) The whole process can take years even for Canadian born people (if you are born in India or China you could wait decades)

    Ultimately I decided to move back to Canada, being close to family was more important to me than making more money. I also didn't want to raise kids in the US.
