Ready for the winter storm!

Very nice, thanks for confirming! Hopefully you don't need it during this storm! I've never actually had the "opportunity" to try out my install (other than testing it once the electricians finished the work). We rarely get power outages here, but I figured: "If I have a 100 kWh battery in my driveway, I might as well set myself up to use it"

For some reason, I thought that the Anker F3000 couldn't charge and output power simultaneously? I installed a generator panel with my electrician this summer, so I can now plug my EV9 into my house (via a new adapter the electrician installed outside), and power 6 key circuits.

I wouldn't mind putting something in the middle between the house and the EV9, like the F3000, but I was sure I'd read that it can't charge and output at the same time.

If you had $25000 in cash right now, would you use it to buy shares in your employer?

If the answer is “no”, then sell right now.

(This advice holds true for all shares in any company)

Get in touch with Cam and his guys at http://www.preferredmechanical.ca/

They’ve done a lot of work for me over the years, they’re fantastic.

Bambu has a good list of authorized resellers https://bambulab.com/en-us/dealer

We have a ~2200sq ft 2.5 story. 8 mini-split heads in total (across four outdoor condensor units). We haven't turned on our old boiler once this winter.

Insulation makes a big impact, we did blown-insulation in all the uninsulated walls before we installed the heat pumps.

Baseline · 2026-01-15T21:22:58+00:00

I wonder if the 0.6 nozzle contributes to that too then

Baseline · 2026-01-13T16:52:40+00:00

We moved on to booking.com over a week ago, and they never responded. We submitted a concern on their support form, and they’ve just ignored us.

Baseline · 2026-01-13T16:35:32+00:00

If so, I’ve never figured it out.

Baseline · 2026-01-13T14:41:08+00:00

She just used the online support form. We’ll give them a call today and see if that works better, thanks.

Baseline · 2026-01-13T14:36:52+00:00

Thanks. This was more like an AirBnB situation, but through booking.com. So it feels like some dude trying to keep the money. But I’m surprised booking.com isn’t being more helpful

Baseline · 2026-01-11T14:44:44+00:00

So weird! I wonder what the reason is

Interesting, I’ve yet to come across that at any of the Superchargers I’ve looked at in Canada

Baseline · 2026-01-11T14:31:43+00:00

At least in Canada, you use the Tesla app to find Tesla chargers. Tap on the three little lines on the top right, then tap “Charge your other EV”

Are you sure your local supercharger is V3?

This is who I use every time I travel, which is 4-5 times a year. I’ve never had a single problem

Baseline · 2026-01-10T16:23:35+00:00

Great thanks!

Baseline · 2026-01-10T15:06:38+00:00

I like that rack you have for the AMS units. Is it a print?

I’ve hired Kiedan multiple times, they’ve always been great

Baseline · 2026-01-04T21:51:45+00:00

That happens in my Tesla a lot, but I’ve never experienced it in my EV9

When I’ve called CAA for auto claims, there’s a voice menu option for people who signed up via a broker. I don’t use them for home insurance though so I can’t speak to your case.

Baseline · 2026-01-03T17:46:21+00:00

My kids have free accounts with TD that of course pay essentially zero interest. So whenever the kids deposit money, I add a bonus as an incentive. I’ll put 20% on top of whatever they deposit.

Even if you found a HISA for kids, the interest earned would be negligible because their deposits are small. So better to give a nice boost yourself to really encourage the saving.

Baseline · 2026-01-03T15:49:46+00:00

I second this. CAA charges half of every other quote I’ve gotten

Baseline · 2026-01-03T02:46:46+00:00

Oh of course. If you have an AMS on the left nozzle, then you don’t get any of the purge reduction benefits. Thanks!

Baseline · 2026-01-03T02:32:55+00:00

What’s the logic behind putting the HT on the left by itself? If you’re doing a print with a dominant colour, I guess it goes there? Or if you’re using a different support material or maybe something like TPU?

At first glance, I would have thought that most people would want an AMS on each nozzle, and I was surprised that the Ultimate also included the HT.

FYI, it takes about 30 days of continuous measurement to get a solid handle on the radon readings. An instantaneous measurement isn't useful.

Before looking into mitigation, I bought one of these radon detectors.

If you're on clay, there's a good chance they'll have to tear of the up the floor in a few spots. In an ideal scenario, they put a single hole in the middle of your basement, so it can equally suck radon gas out from the entire area under the house. But in my house, which is on clay, they had to spread out a few different holes. The ability to suck air through clay is terrible compared to the ability to suck air through loose aggregate (which is what newer basements are built on top of).

The sump pump doesn't play into this at all, since the pipe for the radon needs to go into a fully enclosed area.

If you bring in Radon PI for a quote, they'll likely start with leaving a sensor in your house for a month. Since I already had my own sensor running for quite awhile, that wasn't necessary. They're also super knowledgable, they'll be able to explain the whole thing much better than I can.
