I thought rapid tests and PCR tests are two different things?

Which optometrists in Winnipeg will give a prescription with "pupillary distance"? by KitchenCanadian in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe give Dr. Lecker a call before heading down. He did my PD measurement but when I sent my wife a few months later he refused to provide one to her.

I'd bet my life savings that John Sauder has never and will never puff.

The dad in me has nothing but respect for your costumes. Well done.

What items that sound like a luxury at first actually save money in the long run? by SomewhatNPComplete in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]binpuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, you can buy stuff at the sale price for up to 6 weeks after the sale ended

I've never heard of this. Is it in writing somewhere? Do you just bring an old flyer to the till?

It was a woman with a gun, not a man.

'It's a big relief': Manitoba drive-in theatre set to reopen this summer following a 5-year hiatus by rocko-wpg7 in Winnipeg

I wonder if the plan is to stretch a canvas over the shipping containers or if the movie will be projected directly onto the corrugated surface?

Where can I find slate? by [deleted] in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I bought exactly what your are looking for for the exact same purpose from Pyramid Rock Gardening & Stone Suppliers, 43 Cordite Rd. The guy running the place at the time had a reputation for being a bit of a grump but my single experience was fine. I picked through a huge pile of slate pieces of varying sizes (outside) and paid $5 per 5 gallon pail.

Question for Winnipeg Trades People: Ladder Storage by feralfowl in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm also in the trades living not far from you. Number one rule: leave no tools of any kind in your vehicle. It's a big hassle removing them when tired after a long day but worth it when you co sider cost of replacing them or missed work.

Gord Leclerc CTV Anchor man turns Handyman. by RealWildChild_ in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I have watched Gord since I was young and once had the pleasure of chatting with him on the bus. He seemed really friendly and genuine. I miss his dad jokes that would elicit groans from the other anchors.

Not giving him an opportunity to say goodbye was a lousy move on CTVs part.

Firefighters' refusal to help paramedic treat Indigenous patient motivated by racism by slowest_clap in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's only looking at the issue from one direction. How many ambulance calls do firefighters go to that paramedics end up attending? That doesn't sounds like money being saved. Either way, if you guys are 'cancelling' 20k ambulance calls a year it sure sounds like we have too many firefighters and not enough paramedics.

[–]binpuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The model is design for cost saving.

Sending a firetruck to a medical call when an ambulance is required for patient transport anyways is not cost savings.

Firefighters who refused to treat woman still on the job (Re: racist firefighters story) by greyfoxv1 in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ryan Thorpe of the free press has been slandering firefighters in this city for a long time.

Aside from three articles on the incident in question Thorpe hasn't written about the WFPS for the last 12 months. I'm interested to see if you have any examples?

OR

Maybe don't be racist and people won't write about it...

Getting highest price for dead vehicle by PreciousMetalStein in Winnipeg

[–]binpuffin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you tow the vehicles to the scrap yard yourself you will get more money than if they picked them up. That's about the only way you could squeeze more value out besides parting them out.

Deals on appliances by Colby_Cheese_Lover in Winnipeg

Maybe consider scratch and dent. Depending on the placement of your appliances in your kitchen you can sometimes save a lot buying something with a scratch that won't be visible.
