Had a flue tile shatter on me in Cleveland last winter and everyone said to just patch it, but I insisted on replacing the whole section

Oh gosh, that's amazing they're still holding up! It's funny how that works, right? We've gotten into this mindset that everything needs to be replaced the second it shows age, but old stuff was often built to last. I see this pattern everywhere now - people swapping out perfectly good wood floors because of a few scratches, tossing out solid furniture just because the style is outdated. It's like we've forgotten that "fine" is actually a perfectly good standard. Maybe we should all take a lesson from those old tiles and stop fixing things that aren't broken, huh?

Question about that Wealthsimple cash account everyone is pushing

Those VCs bragging about it in a coffee shop? That really gets me. It's one thing to suspect a company's motives, but to hear them openly gloat about trapping people feels slimy. My nephew signed up for that 4% account last week, and now I'm wondering if he's just a pawn in their bigger plan. The quiet rollout of higher fees is what scares me most, like they're banking on people getting too lazy to switch once the bait is gone.
