general

its common in this area to rent your water tank from the city

so they set it up and fix it if it breaks

you're in a single-family house right?

yes

I could see communal tanks in a duplex or something

but I can't figure out why the city would own your water tank

you pay 13 a month to rent it versus the 1k+a few hundred for installation to own it

I think its just cheaper

but it costs more after <10 years to rent it

I'll accept that it's probably cheaper to rent it

I just can't get over how odd it'd be to have the city own part of your house

basically renting gives a lifetime warranty where they fix/replace the thing if needed

oh I totally get it, it's just strange is all

but yeah, its just an ontario thing

the other provinces do not do this

weird

but anyways, its the cities problem to fix

I just mitigated the damage

Putting my physics degree to work by doing engineering tasks

I was looking at that article

lol

related: you're poor

wait

this article says some Ontarians rent their fridges too

wtf

we own ours

I don't know about that

I think thats less common

water boilers make sense somewhat

but

a fridge?

AC units too

YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND RENT EVERYTHING AND YOU WILL BE HAPPY

We own our AC too

it's all heavily subsidized

so like Pika says, they're kind of paying for it already via taxes

might as well rent I guess

just fuckign weird to have the city be your landlord essentially

I wonder if they can repo your water tank

No hot water for you

>they come in and turn the hot water valve off, I turn it back on

"They were very hesitant to tell me the buyout price. Tried to discourage me with warning such as excessive repair cost that I may have to incur in case the water heater breakdown; and offered 4 months of free rental"

>do not buy the heater please here have 4 free months

lol

but yeah, +1 to the weird things in canadia land that confuse spooky

I guess

lol

"Personified female racing horse reduces women to just animals and slaves"

were women not already that?

based uma game

can 100% confirm

god wait until the author finds out about neptunia. Personifies gaming as fuckable women, literally toxic as shit

the umas are basically just slaves

there is literally no betting in this game

you are buying slaves though

its not just about the game though

They recognize that's it's obscene and degenerate but can't pinpoint why

also you literally have a conversation with the horse girls for every step of the 72 day training

they are more personified than animals

you're a furry bopit

they couldn't even make good points

dont make excuses

I love how they think Uma masume is more closely associated with chattel slavery from thousands of years ago

as opposed to... you know.... horse racing

So true

New Season of Rick and Morty apparently started

people still watch that show?

It's dropped a lot

bc the show changed

s3 just turned me off from the series

I forget literally everything about the show, other than the few episodes I remember really liking

they tried catering to their new fan base ruining what was good, so all the new fans dropped off along with long time viewers and it just left them with a shell of what made the show good

it was just good animated adult swim style stuff

I liked season 1 and 2 enough to buy that shit on dvd, never finished 3, did not watch 4

The creators made a new show at some point which we watched

other than that one episode I think we watched together as a group
