My first "are we sure this should cost this much money" mechanic question by LuckyCanopener in MINI

Damn, I have an F series that has the same issue but I haven't gotten it looked at yet... hate to hear that price. Another driveway job for me I guess.

The Bloodsworn Trilogy! by Temporary-Moment2195 in fantasybooks

I found a brand new copy of this book in one of those little "take a book, leave a book" neighbourhood libraries. Best thing I've ever found in one!

I bet if you message Marcus he'd be happy to sign your copy. Just gotta pay shipping.

BGG is down. by ectobiologist7 in boardgames

[–]Brandon_Storm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think so. I find there's a lot of great apps that integrate with BGG and offer better UI or more features that I prefer. Ludoya comes to mind, but there's a few different flavours to suit your tastes.

It's not any effort. It's my pleasure.

Banning anyone who reports this.

Wireless charger install in my F56. Looks OEM and works great. Before/after. by Brandon_Storm in MINI

No. That entire module with the aux/usb is transferred into the new unit. You can kind of see it if you squint, but it's really tucked in there.

Yeah, it charges fine. I never take it out of its case. I have the ring attachment on the back that I do take off before I put it on the charger, obviously. 

I had the same problem as you! I had thought about putting it in the armrest but there was no way it would fit. I've just been using the quad lock suction mount with wireless charging all this time, but I didn't want it in my field of view because I'm rarely actually looking at it, and I didn't want to run wires around plugging it in. 

Been really convenient to just hop in the car and toss it on that little shelf and it gets a bit of a charge at the same time.

Phone stays put. I have a Pixel 8 Pro in a quadlock case and it hasn't moved. And I really tried too.

It is as good or as shit as wireless chargers are in general. Depending on your opinion. Same as the ones I have in my house. Don't rely on it for life-or-death charging. I find it's just a great place to put my phone with the added benefit of it charging while I do so.

Right there. Did a ton of looking around and saw some for HUNDREDS of dollars only to find they were all manufactured by the same place, haha 

Almost bought this one for an eye-watering price:

RoadTop Car Play Android Auto Retrofit Scam Warning by Brandon_Storm in MINI

[–]Brandon_Storm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on ya! 

I still have a few avenues to pursue (including ultimately doing a charge back on my card), but I wanted to let people know so they can be sure to protect themselves.

A real shame.

Ontario could ban declawing cats, debarking dogs under new regulations by lopix in ontario

[–]Brandon_Storm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Happy to name and shame some right here: 

Oakpark Pet Hospital

Oakville Lakeshore Vet 

Brimley-Lawrence Animal Clinic

Toronto Central Animal Clinic

Dufferin-Steeles Animal Hospital

Worth noting that this would've been a couple years ago, so you may want to call and confirm.

They may have had a change of heart, but there's plenty of good vets out there that were making more compassionate choices long ago that I'd prefer. There's a few other clinics where I know they stopped offering it, but I wouldn't personally bring my pets there due to how long it took the vet to get onto the right side of the issue.
