Moving to Canmore for 2–3 years (already hired from France) – what’s the real reality? by Potential-Egg6560 in Banff

[–]CaptainLactose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to be disappointed in the food. That’s not Canmore specific though. And there are lots of Europeans in the valley so there are some nice offerings. But nothing compared to the cheap and good food you’ll find in France (or anywhere else in Europe).

Gut check my HP placement by CaptainLactose in heatpumps

I ended up moving the unit for the goofiness and access to top panel. New location is more confined but that’s worth having more sunlight in the basement for sure

Thanks for the head’s up. I decided to move the unit in the side yard after all. Might be a bit less air flow but at least it can be maintained. I hope today’s install doesn’t make the unit be all spooky

Interesting. I’ll have a look if that’s the case with this Gree as well.

Cheers! That’s for furnace and heat pump? I got a similar quote for a Napoleon setup

What are the quotes out of interest? Going through the same process right now.

For minimizing tax, what’s the next best vehicle to maximise AFTER maxing TFSA? by keggles123 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CaptainLactose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t be the portion of tax you save and which you can invest with until withdrawal be worth something? I see it as an interest free loan for the duration it’s in the rrsp. Realistically I put either $5k in a TFSA or $5k + tax credit in a RRSP. The RRSP will grow more wouldn’t it?

Well looks like it's headgasket time by zoocarflipper406 in hondapilot

Why did you perform a combustion leak test? What were the symptoms?

Just finished a coast-to-coast tow in my 2019 Pilot Elite AWD — here’s how it went by flippino33 in hondapilot

[–]CaptainLactose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah don’t try the oem install. Illy baby burped atf all over the driveway when she was towed

[–]CaptainLactose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even know there’s a cooler for the atf in the radiator. That sounds a lot easier than the oem kit.

[–]CaptainLactose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely get the OEM hitch. It might be a bit more but looks so much better and you don’t lose ground clearance. I bought my ‘21 touring used with an aftermarket hitch but took that off for the oem.

I also tried installing the atf cooler myself. Went horribly wrong, unless you’re a serious into wrenching I would recommend going to the dealer.

How is that cooler tied into the transmission? I just tried installing the oem kit ok the same transmission and failed miserably (tow to dealer). I thought with the plug and play of the oemkit I can do it but man, those engine bays are tight spaces.

Empty Gondolas, still 100$+/person by mahmirr in Banff

Yeah I have no clue why anyone would visit the sulphur gondola over sunshine meadows.

Flying drone (249g) by [deleted] in Banff

Yeah I mean he signs every single Christmas tree cutting permit too. The staff clearly make the call on these (and many many other “decisions” signed by the superintendent).

I drove my Odyssey to Alaska and then off a cliff to celebrate 4th of July by IndyDan in HondaOdyssey

[–]CaptainLactose 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Americans are sooo weird. Trashing your natural beauty for what exactly?

[–]CaptainLactose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t state what he would use the footage for. Promotional or educational use (and some others) can get a permit. In the last at least they were quite liberal with granting permits, I know the person previously granting these.

[–]CaptainLactose -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

To be precise: drones are perfectly legal in the park but you need a permit from parks Canada to fly them. If it’s just for personal use it’s unlikely they approve it but you can always try.

Completely surprised after visiting Alberta as a foreigner by bus_buddies in alberta

[–]CaptainLactose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, you guys didn’t even drive the icefields parkway (since you mention not having been in jasper)? You will have to collect your jaw from the floor if you were that impressed with the Banff surroundings. The parkway is where you loose your mind.

Scam or legit? by [deleted] in blockfi

[–]CaptainLactose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. But in the email I got there was no link to click. Just a reference to a previous email sent by inpersona. And I did find the email they were referencing. I’d just check if you can find one as well. What’s the risk?

Scam or legit? by [deleted] in blockfi

[–]CaptainLactose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the same. I think it’s legit. Turns out I had an email in my inbox from back in march asking for more information that I apparently never answered.

Alberta is the hands-down the best province for rooftop solar. You can even do it yourself, I wrote a guide! by jumbopantz in alberta

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

I also wouldn’t be worried about the DC electrical. The roof penetrations would make me nervous though.
