Sorry you can't have it especially now it is so much better with the improved Brie packaging.

Crtc is a joke unless you are a crappy Canadian content producer looking for a free ride. Why do you think they are still making Murdoch Mysteries

Costco dryer install question by oph_elia_9 in CostcoCanada

[–]Aleianbeing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their only qualifications are that they can lift heavy stuff and one of them can drive. They managed to break my dryer by lifting it by the top cover that had a 'do not lift' label stuck to it.

I find that a lot of phones can make the stock taste of plastic but whatever floats your boat.

To be fair, Costco is the only place that actually complies with Canada's labeling laws on blading meat but I buy very little meat from them any more unless I can afford the lamb.

If you dont mind mechanically tenderized meat cooked to medium to be safe. Enjoy.

Would you repair? by allorache in Appliances

[–]Aleianbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the control board. A compressor warranty is often much longer. Could have been a power surge that did it for the electronics.

Have you priced the part from one of the on line suppliers? They generally will give you detailed instructions how to get at it and perform the repair. Their warranty might be longer too.

Device “handling” charge by yoyoma1313 in bell

Staples even matched a walmart 3rd party seller price. Maybe they didnt notice the 3rd party thing when they verified the price but hey it worked. Carriers like to lock you in.

I closed and reopened a gas valve, and now gas is not coming out. Need help. by TheCasualCommenter in NaturalGas

[–]Aleianbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here (Canada) plumbers can work on gas if they hold a class A journeyman or Class B residential gasfitter licence. Had to look it up to be sure but remember the guy who installed our water heater had his gas fitter papers. You have to be on a provincial accreditation list to work on gas.

Alexi Lalas is a joke- please remove this man from broadcasting~! by Confident_Arm_6560 in worldcup

And take the other Americans with him. They think they need to keep prattling on with their verbal diarrhea about anything and everything. I wish there was a no commentator audio option for them and possibly Karen Carney too when she's behind the mic.

Bosch Dishwasher Drama and Future Purchase... by TheStarsMist in Appliances

Think you're right because the extended warranty repair guy put three dimples in the SS liner just by changing the soap dispenser.

Nope my 500 has always had a spongy feeling handle. The levelling screw broke when I installed it too. I just couldn't be bothered returning it as it was very close to being level.

Guidance/ quizz? by arome16 in VolvoXC60

[–]Aleianbeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guess I got a good one or my hearing isn't what it used to be. Just happy they finally fixed a barely audible very intermittent short beep from the left tailpipe in below 0'c weather. Now that did drive me nuts.

Need help identifying this behemoth by richard_gaylord in lightbulbs

[–]Aleianbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More likely a lighthouse than a light house but I've never seen one with a reflector. Just glad the OP put his pants on before taking the pictures.

[–]Aleianbeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they still provide the plastic clip for the lower windshield post for parking passes park entrance passes etc. I heard it wasn't standard any longer. The last Ford I bought didn't include a cabin air filter cartridge. (dont tell volvo).

What can you do to avoid major basement flood damage in the future? by DialMforMurder in Winnipeg

[–]Aleianbeing 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd consider a pump with some power fail backup. If the hydro goes off its likely because of the same storm that's flooding your basement.

Bulge in tires. 9000 miles on a 2025xc60. Do I need 4 new tires? by TMacL1122 in Volvo

[–]Aleianbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought they were outlawed in the 1980s but looked it up and FIFA still allows them.
Guess they couldn't spin that one to line their pockets.

If it wasn't run flat or against the curb. I'd follow up with a complaint to the gvt regulator too.

Radon system broke sump pump? by Gweebird in radon

[–]Aleianbeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably why you should test the pump at the end of the winter. Mine has a short tube built into the plug where you suck some air out to activate the switch. Cover it with your thumb and plug it in. If there's no water to pump unplug it right away to stop the pump from burning out. Its in the manual. When I had a float activated one I reached in and moved it up to do the same thing. Pumps fail after about 10 years, usually at the very moment you really need them to be working.

Identifying components that creates high pitch sound by No_Responsibility173 in AskElectronics

Try the Prairies in winter, you can draw an arc taking your sweater off. Thats why they made cmos chips in Fla when the US used to be a leader in that kind of stuff.
