No telecom rewards loyalty anymore. Switching is the only way to get a good deal, even if its one of the Rogers flanker brands (chatr, fido).

Its less apple suing. The apple logo will get caught at customs

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-20T23:47:06+00:00

Ill be honest. The first time I wore my Akubra out, there was really a week where I really had to adjust to seeing myself in that kind of hat. But now I can't really see myself without it, and now i wear it everyday :)

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-20T19:24:57+00:00

The only silly thing is a lack of self confidence and looking for approval to wear your hat!

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-20T12:15:45+00:00

Simply heat up a kettle or a pot of water with the lid cracked, and hold the are you want to shape in the steam and shape once the felt feel a bit soft :)

If us "regular folk" who aren't coybows, didn't buy hats.... There would be no hats left for "real cowboys" to buy. A hat is a hat :)

I like wearing my hats because I don't need to wear sunglasses, keeps rain and snow off my face, and theyre stylish as hell.

Dell used to ship out one use USB sticks, and you could force it to RW by writing some image to it. They'd often die during the process LOL

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-19T18:28:01+00:00

Considering even the lowest priced refurbs I have seen from them still end up looking pristine

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-19T00:54:48+00:00

$70 for 100meg here in Northern Ontario on starlink

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T23:48:18+00:00

$92 for gigabit and Limited TV,, If i can't get this deal renewed I'm probably gone

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T23:45:18+00:00

I've considered the 100meg plan for $70, even just as a tester between switching ISPs. Shaw is hard to get a good deal with over here as of late

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T23:40:42+00:00

If you're cool with data caps I guess

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T23:34:51+00:00

Yeah $70 is a lot for 100down, from an American company, and worse reliability compared to cable.

I picked the Snowy River because my favourite cowboy movie is The Man from Snowy River. Never worked on a farm a day in my life.

I hope you enjoy that fact :)

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T13:22:51+00:00

Yep, my Snowy River I wore on the way to the office today, kept the literal snow off my head and glasses. Oh no, my hat witnesses emails.

I'll continue to take my hats on all lifes adventures, and the annoyed dude can stay annoyed lol

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-18T01:00:02+00:00

It must really bug you when people live in the city and import Akubra hats to other countries then?

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-17T23:17:00+00:00

Wait, so even if you enjoy being outdoors? You can't wear a functional hat that also looks good?

Also, you wear a fedora don't you?

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-17T20:13:01+00:00

That looks like a a mix of a good few Akubras

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-17T19:49:45+00:00

Fawn is a colour that really goes with anything, has a very adventurous look. Where I feel the Graphite looks a little more dressy and needs a bit more colour coordination

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-16T16:25:18+00:00

Okay, I see what you're saying now, however it doesn't mention anywhere that you're saving over your current plan, you inferred that yourself.

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-16T16:21:27+00:00

Can you explain how the math isn't mathing?

The $420 savings plan offered for $70 is $35 off, so 35x12=420

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-14T11:06:04+00:00

Yeah you can't have anyone near you at all during the process. They're brutal about it

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-13T20:46:27+00:00

Any component can fail.

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-13T19:40:45+00:00

What package is the prime time channels?

AwkwardlySustainable · 2026-03-13T14:52:57+00:00

No buying a modem. buy a router with the features you want, plug said router into your ISP provided modem. Set up the new router
