I tried honey on my peanut butter banana sandwich. Now I challenge you to try real maple syrup.

Last time I posted my sandwich: whole grain bread, natural peanut butter on both slices, a whole banana, and maple syrup on top. A bunch of you said I should try it with honey, and some said it was even better.

So I did. I used 100% Canadian honey and yeah, it was good. But it's nowhere near 100% Quebec maple syrup. I'd say we're going from S tier down to maybe B tier.

So here's my challenge for everyone who says honey wins: try it again with real maple syrup. The good stuff, not the cheap factory kind. I know a lot of people in the US and even Europe have never had the real thing. We're lucky in Quebec, we have it everywhere, but in some places it's pretty much a luxury item.

Thanks to WS

Just a small thing, but it made my day

Huge shoutout to Wealthsimple for this awesome keychain. It's not worth much money wise, but it's honestly really well made and looks great. My wife saw it and loved it so much she basically stole it from me. Not mad about it though, she's happy and that's what matters.

Little gestures like this go a long way. Thanks again.

Edit: Honestly curious about the downvotes here, so let me try to actually understand the psychology behind it. I've been trading with WS for years and never paid a fee, so this keychain isn't some reward for moving a huge balance over, it's genuinely just a small thank you gesture on top of a service I already get a lot of value from. There's no ask here, no referral link, nothing being sold.

My guess is this sub just has a reflex against anything that reads as positive toward a company, like there's an assumption that gratitude equals shilling. Or maybe it's the classic Reddit mood swing thing, some weeks everyone's in a good mood and stuff like this gets upvoted, other weeks the same post would get buried. Feels less about the actual post and more about whatever mood the sub is collectively in that day. Anyone want to explain the actual reasoning instead of just downvoting silently?

Unpopular opinion: self custody isn't right for everyone, here's my story.

With the whole Coldcard thing that just happened, figured it's worth sharing my own experience, even though I know this isnt gonna be a popular opinion here.

Back in 2024-2025 i sold off the bitcoin i had left (did a full cycle, accumulated in the bear market, sold in tranches over time) and put it all into IBIT inside my TFSA (Canadian tax free account). Since then i dont hold any bitcoin in self custody anymore, just IBIT.

Why i did it. Im an extremely security conscious person but i also deal with anxiety, and knowing i had a big chunk of money rely entirely on me never making a single mistake, one bad day, one moment of being less focused, that stressed me out way more than it should have. Not because i didnt know the best practices, just the mental weight of knowing its 100% on me with no safety net.

Also in my TFSA the gains are fully tax free, so im not "avoiding taxes" like some people are gonna assume, its literally what the account is designed for. And for people who dont know, in Canada CIPF covers up to 1 million dollars if the brokerage itself goes insolvent (doesnt cover market losses, just insolvency of the firm, want to be clear on that).

I know a lot of people here see this as a bad move, giving your coins to Blackrock, giving them more leverage over the market etc. I get the argument and its a solid one if your comfortable with self custody.

But im not posting this to convince the hardcore self custody crowd. This is more for people like me, dealing with anxiety, stress, or people who are newer and not totally confident in what theyre doing yet. Its ok to choose simplicity and peace of mind if that keeps you invested long term instead of panicking or making a costly mistake. Theres more than one right way to do this.

Anyway thats my story, downvote me if you want but wanted to put it out there for anyone asking themselves the same question.

Worst flare of my life and I have nothing until Monday

Hey everyone, first post here.

I finished an 18 day prednisone course about a week ago and instead of calming down I got hit with the worst rebound flare I've ever had. Hives everywhere, plaques spreading, angioedema in my face and lips a couple times. It's been getting worse almost every day since Wednesday.

Antihistamines aren't touching it anymore even doubled up. Cortisone cream on the hives does nothing either. I can't reach my doctor until Monday and I'm just hoping he finally prescribes Xolair once I do, but until then I have literally nothing that works.

Has anyone found something else that actually helped during a bad stretch like this while waiting on a prescription? Just trying to get through the next couple days.
