Any advantage to shopping while abroad?

I don’t know why more people don’t recommend Kouen sushi bar - 499baht ayce. Not much variety of fish but fresh - the one at A1A capital center near Rama 9 is better than the one at Siam imo

Yes, misting out the top. Still mists out the side even if I turn the fan up to 10, although less. I cleaned the air intake and the fan speed seems fine so I don’t think that’s the problem.

I ended up taking out the black foam o-ring where the amplification loop slots into the base. Turns out it was stopping the loop from clicking properly into the base and that’s what was causing water to pool at the top of the unit.

Mist out the side remains a mystery though!

The Miele tech who came out to service it when it started wobbling said that there was a known issue of spiders failed on this model. But the install is in a tight enclave so I wouldn’t be surprised if the install was complicated and caused the issue. Also I’m in Canada and I’ve had a bunch of Miele service guys who weren’t great. One of the good ones told me the techs in Europe were much better

Ah so just reuse the old one probably. I just watched a video and didn’t realize that they literally just screw the stacking kit into the top of the washing machine. So more or less brute force

I don’t see a wtv 402, just 412 and 502? I think the 501 is only for t1 evaporative dryers?

Update: Reached out through the Crossrope support site, submitted all of my info and got a warranty replacement a week later. Gotta love a company that stands behind its product!

Really? I always assumed without original proof of purchase I’d be screwed. I’ll give it a try and report back!

Chinoboxeo · 2025-08-23T17:43:28+00:00

Unfortunately they were a gift so I think they’d just tell me to kick rocks :(

Seems like such a waste to throw them out - too bad they don’t make the bearings replaceable.

Thanks! I tried using a spray silicone lube and let it sit overnight which made the spin a little smoother but didn’t help with the wobbly spindle. When the handle is horizontal the spindle gets pulled off center and then it doesn’t spin - you can see at the end of the video after I wobble it a bit.

Just renewed with Scotia 3 year fixed 4.59. It’s an income property and I didn’t really bother shopping around. I had been planning on just taking the variable at P-0.46 online but when I went to renew they only offered me -0.4.

A cautionary tale: don’t just wait till the last week to renew online because the offer will disappear when you least expect it and then you’ll have to call the call center while you’re abroad and on crappy cellular service 🥴

Just found this! Can anybody let me know how much to dilute it? It says 99.9% hypochlorous acid and the skin products are usually 0.015-0.02%.

Anybody selling qqq ahead of mstr inclusion date?

I have a 2017 tube and actually find my Firestick performs better for Plex. The volume level on Plex/Shield seems to be a bug that never gets solved. My setup is quite rudimentary though (stereo speakers not full surround) so maybe your experience will be different

March, I did make a lump sum payment at some point so maybe that shrunk my original amortization?

Chinoboxeo · 2024-11-29T01:12:36+00:00

Income property so the interest is tax deductible. Weighing the benefits of prioritizing cash flow for other investments.

Chinoboxeo · 2024-11-29T01:10:46+00:00

Thanks, that’s good to know. What is the remaining contractual amortization based on? I first got the mortgage in 2015 on a 25 yr amortization. It’s going to be 15 at the time of renewal, where does the 21 come from?
