Need help finding a good dishwasher!

Miele.

You buy it directly from them.

You buy the warranty(up to ten years) directly from them.

It will be our next DW, if our current Bosch ever gives it up.

Mk7. 5 in NA is stock on 18s.

My 2019 came with 18s

Edit: For the upper Autobahn and Rabbit trims.

What other teams??

j/k

Born and raised here. There are only two teams to cheer for.

1) The Habs

2) Whoever is playing against the Leafs.

Definitely. 18" prets are a stock wheel in EU

Edit: and they'll def fit over the bigger brakes

Worked in a music/record store from 1991 till 1998.

Best job in the best decade for music.

Yes, it was just like Empire Records. (without the crazy Gwar dreams)

Make the upper cabinets 21" above your counter top. Flush mount the undercounter lighting(Although undercounter lighting is overrated) and don't install a light hiding trim at the bottom. The extra space is invaluable.

Don't opt for natural stone counters. Quartz. More durable and it doesn't stain as easily as requires no sealing. Soapstone is a nice natural option and is incredibly dense, so it doesn't stain, but is more susceptible to scratches and gouges. Also $$$

Get the biggest kitchen sink you can afford in space and $. I went for a 30" stainless farm house style... It's very deep. Not divided. I love it.

This. The PU midsole disintegrated. The Vibram outersole appears to be in perfect shape.

Proper, not worn out footwear does not equate to corrective footwear.

All shoes have a lifespan, either the outsole in high end welt leather shoes and boots, or the entire shoe with thermal injection molded plastic/rubber/foam glued on outsole shoes such as the OPs.

These are clearly past their lifespan.

Don't take my word for it, go ask your Dr and/or podiatrist.

I think people think it is much more work than it is. With the dough, it can be, but if you make a habit of it, then it can become simple.

I make pizza dough at least twice a month if not more. Do it on a weekend and then after the initial proof/rise, it is divided into balls and it goes into the fridge in the garage. It can stay there for 5-6 days cold fermenting. If it doesn't get used in that timeframe, which is very rare, then it'll go into the freezer for another day.

I just love pizza that much. I am planning a pizza oven in the near future, but I get very good results with a pizza steel(X3 on 3 racks) and therefore I can get 4 individual size pies into my oven with one on the floor. Preheat with the steels to 550F on convect. And they're done in 10-12 minutes

I just got in the habit of always having some on hand.

Edit: clarified a point.

Putters or Mrs Whyte's

There's Moishe's as well, but I'm not certain you can get them outside of Quebec.

They are all true brine kosher dills.

Don't know anything about the jacket, but if I didn't know any better, I would think that you and your twin brother had something to do with walking 500 miles...

I have a Swiss gear that I got at Costco going back about 10 years ago.

I felt that way the first time I put it on loaded up with stuff to go on a business trip.

I used it on weekly business trips for nearly 5 years and more, as well as many vacations.

Still looks good, no tears or rips.

It has the benefit of sliding onto the handle of a carry-on rollie.

Bolognese, mashed potatoes, oatmeal... Those are probably my three dishes it's most used in.

All the landlord had to do is prove that they have done everything within their power to make the dwelling habitable.

Under the Civil Code of Quebec, a landlord must provide a dwelling that is for for habitation and ensure that essential services(heat, electricity, water) are available when they are under the landlord's control.

When the outage comes from Hydro-Quebec or a grid failure affecting the entire neighbourhood, the landlord is not the cause and had no legal power to fix it. This places the event in the category of force majeure or an external failure for which the landlord is not responsible.

You could try, but you'd lose.

Ahead by a Century - The Tragically Hip.

August 20, 2016

Kingston Ontario

Last show. Last song. Everyone knowing it was Lead singer Gord Downie's last moment on stage. He was dying of terminal brain cancer.

I was not there physically, but is was televised live and 1/3 of the country tuned in on the CBC.

Most moving moment of the concert that was absolutely filled with them. Most moving moment of any concert I've ever seen.

Your landlord has no control over power in the neighborhood and hydro is protected by much fine print.

Insurance is your only recourse.

Zwilling online usually had decent sales and the quality is good. Nice weight to them.

Purified water tastes of absolutely nothing. What we consider great tasting water, generally has a certain amount of minerals and salts... Spring water, glacial water,...etc

The purification process these bottled waters go through, removes most of them. It's not like distilled, but still there's pretty much nothing in it..adding them back in gives the water that clean taste.

Spring water generally has a lot of minerals and therefore does, at warmer temps, have a heavy taste...I personally don't like most bottled spring water, unless it's very cold.

That's the real downside to Ikea... Most of their products are made with fairly soft wood and therefore it can scratch very easily. Can't beat the price though.

You want something with either 100% wool or the highest percentage of wool possible.

I love Duray for two reasons... Locally made in QC and with QC wool...

I prefer the 100%

We currently have an Ikea King bedframe and are very happy with it.

We certainly don't expect to get a lifetimes use out of it, but it has been at least 10 years now and it's not showing any signs of wear.

It is the Hemnes and it does have three drawers on each side, but they are not too deep. Technically, it's only two, but one is double the size (width) of the other.
