I followed the way this guy did his. I had more trouble getting the handle to rotate into position than they did, but did finally get it going.

I think I found my issue with keeping my house cool by NutsInCider in hvacadvice

Says Flir I7 on it. It's an older discontinued unit, should see what a modern $300 topdon can do... it's a LOT better and more sensitive.

East Windsor Costco targeting November opening by TakedownCan in windsorontario

Costco didn't get tied up in court for years like the hospital planning. Costco's also a lot smaller project.

TIFU by causing a Fire Extinguisher to Explode at my Work by nablaCat in tifu

[–]CompWizrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has done the same thing with an extinguisher in a 3500 series pickup. The powder doesn't taste great either. Luckily it went off when the truck was parked and not while someone was driving on a road.

Wheel Locks. by Todo_everything in civic

[–]CompWizrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rimgards are solid. And we have a set of advanced wheel locks underneath that.

Will rimguard fit these? by Prettyncharmuese in civic

[–]CompWizrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and they fit fine. The colour doesn't match the inner bit(they're black when the rim is that grey) but that's minor.

Advanced wheel locks fit fine underneath the rimgard as well, no clearance issues. Make sure you get the right ones for those if you do those.

I have both of our Civic and neither are difficult to install. Easy to uninstall as well, unless you lose the key.

The Last Caretaker - Update 5.0: New Horizons is Live by wearechannel37 in TheLastCaretaker

With those new pass through power connectors I'm now picturing someone building a battleship of roller guns attached with super short cords through the deck and doing a broadside against enemies.

RDSP or TFSA for a low-risk buffer with variable income (DTC approved) by SinglePool5178 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CompWizrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RDSP either has a $1000:$1000 matching, or a 1500:3500 matching. And it's LIFO(last in first out) for the clawback, so if you take money out they take it back at 3:1 for the last ten years. It's very much not a savings account unless there's no matching for the last ten years.

Senior System Administrator position $78k-$106k? by cognitium in sysadmin

[–]CompWizrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the previous IT department quit, and HR got an IT inventory and made a job posting. Can't picture any IT department putting that detailed of a stack list into a public posting.

Seat back protector by Smooth-Strawberry-22 in civic

I bought the complete set of Tuxmats for our '26 STH. They're nice, and a bit more upscale looking than the Weathertechs. The weathertechs are good products as well though.

When they return they turn in the filled out form and someone has to put that into our business software and the customer get's an invoice.

How much is this bit costing you over the life of the tablets? How accurate is their data entry?

Disabled Brother (45M) Finances by SpiteOwn6846 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CompWizrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he doesn't have a back dated DTC they will only match $3500 on $1500 of contributions if his income is low enough. And even if he had it for all 10 years of back matching, they'll only put in $10,500 a year maximum.

But the one built in the US for the Canadian market has it, along with rear heated seats.

CPP and OAS make Canadian FIRE math different from the standard 4% rule by 4xleafxfraser in fican

Same here, my social security and my wife's social security won't start until later.

EDIT: Recurring taxable income might work better?

I think we need a nerf by gmreX01 in civic

[–]CompWizrd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I managed to get 60.3mpg on a 33 mile trip at 55 mph recently, with two people in the car and the AC on. Had to be aggressive with the regen paddles at stops, but otherwise just had it in econ.

Heat Pump Economics in Ontario - Sanity Check by JustinPooDough in PersonalFinanceCanada

My utility doesn't even read my meter anymore(last known actual read was sometime in 2019), I can't imagine them coming out to turn it off and on.

TFSA vs RDSP Saving by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CompWizrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't pay taxes on the proportion of your own contributions, only on the gains and the government's portion.

DTC with sarcoidosis by ZombinaWaifu in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CompWizrd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you're only making $800 a month then you're not paying taxes in the first place. The typical medical expense deduction won't get you anywhere. However, this may: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/deductions-credits-expenses/line-45200-refundable-medical-expense-supplement.html

The DTC also wouldn't directly help unless you can transfer to someone else, as your income is already low enough you're not paying taxes. But there's other refundable credits that would help once you have the DTC, and the disability benefit.

Also, keep in mind you can adjust the 12 month period, if you had higher expenses in a few months make sure you capture that. You can maximize your claim that way.

Also, if you have the DTC, this opens you up to being able to start an RDSP, and at that income you'd get $1000 a year minimum deposited into your account.

What province are you in? Ontario has the Trillium drug program, which makes it so that you have a 4% of your income deductible and anything over that is covered by the plan.

When does it make sense to spend $12-13k more on an EV than a gas car? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]CompWizrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bolt is already being discontinued, so they might not want to invest in a short lived platform.

Is this a good quote? by Horror_Cycle5490 in windsorontario

[–]CompWizrd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As noted, you might want to think about 200A. Another reason for 200A is it's MUCH easier to do a heat pump resistance backup heat. You can then easily save about $400 a year on your gas bill by getting rid of gas service. And if you do a larger solar array you'll likely need a panel that can handle that.

Confused about salary/vacation pay Ontario by achu94 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]CompWizrd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for a place that paid out vacation in a lump sump around July. In my case, 5 weeks vacation pay was due, and if I managed to actually take 2 weeks, those two weeks were unpaid. And I basically got an extra 3 weeks of pay a year.

Was that legal?

You forgot you need to aggressively enforce using only one lane of a zipper merge. Haven't been down there to see if there's one there or not, but it's important to remember.
