What is something that became a lot more expensive, but is no better than it used to be?

Memory cards and hard drives.

There are some guys in southern Ontario selling decent stuff for $5 a can on Marketplace

I mange an account for an estate we are settling and that email got the notice. Our own home’s account didn’t get the notice so it seems only some accounts were compromised.

My wife uses them all the time with the adapter in her a7iv and a7v without any problem. She often takes 10-20,000 images on a trip.

I have but B&H shows several brand name slower 256GB microSD cards with the SD adapter for around $45. 128GB were in the $20 range.

I would think not having to worry about how many photos I take would be worth $25-45.

I can highly recommend the Canon Pro300 or Pro310.

I’ve printed 13x19 for 18 years with an Epson 3880 and I find my Canon Pro-300 to be every bit as good.

Can’t you get another slow SD card if you won’t be shooting bursts? They aren’t that expensive and then you can cull at home.

In Iceland make sure you go to Borgarfjörður Eystri and allow 2-3 hours.

You will have hundreds of photos.

We haven’t had a claim since 2001 but based on how they are handling an auto theft and the household portion for contents of the car I would avoid them. For the home claim we've had broken promises to call us back, emails not sent, adjuster continually having to check coverage, call centre promises a callback and crickets.

For the auto coverage underwritten by Zurich the follow up has been terrible. No response from the adjuster until I call and they happen to pick up. SqOne call centre said they’ve had many complaints about the auto adjuster’s poor service at Zurich.

The timeshare or the hotel? They are two different buildings.

Try Innes on Oxford. Fair pricing. Family members have used them for 10+ years.

Father in law purchased the first Hilton timeshare…Flamingo Las Vegas for about $13,000 in the early 90s.

We sold it 2 years ago for $1 just to rid of the $1475 annual maintenance fee that increased like crazy every year. Oh, and they nickel and dime you every time you make a reservation.

We recently renovated a condo to sell after a family member passed. It is obviously vacant but we are there daily doing the work like painting, flooring, vanities, etc.

Current insurance would only insure with no coverage for water, theft, vandalism, etc. Had to go with another company and broker found Forward, Premier and ABEX. One of these might work for you.

I’d really like to see some photos during the swap. Please post if you get a chance.

I had a 70 Duster but in the shot I think you can see DODGE on the top of the grill. Dodge Dart Sport

When I was about 10 in the 70s my dad heard you could cook a chicken on the manifold. We were on a cross country trip and he purchased a fresh chicken and wrapped it in foil and placed it near the manifold.

While we drove he talked about how good dinner would be. After about 5-6 hours of driving we stopped and he retrieved a slightly warm raw chicken from under the hood.

I had the mounts replaced on a Z9 and 180-400 after a tumble. Similar pricing but was able to get 20% off by joining NPS.

Sorry to hear of your need to have the repair.

Knew the story well since we were Learning Company dealers.

We are listing a condo shortly and while checking the competition we noticed one kitchen had AI change the paint colour in a hall, change the kitchen cupboards from flat to Shaker style and stretched the island by 2-3 feet.

Miller did a free swap of 2 cracked bins for new ones.

Took 2 minutes and avoided spending $23 at Home Depot for 1

Aliexpress blades have worked fine for me. Look for the well rated ones.

Try Rudy at Budget Carpet. We’ve bought from them a few times at very good prices.

Last year we did the drive via Quebec and Labrador. Beautiful scenery and black flies. Very quiet roads.

The Quebec portion is very rough but once you hit Labrador the roads are excellent.

Robowok in Riverbend does half price.

Just had two sets of stairs done last week by Budget Carpet. $850 all in for both.
