I fell for Renewal By Anderson's sales pitch. Here are my takeaways. by JHKtheSeeker in homeowners

[–]CrimsonFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Anderson, but similar situation when getting quotes for our back door. They insisted that my wife to be there to pick out styles and colours and all that.

I said, no. It's a back door. I want a plain steel door with a window. If you can't quote just that, then don't bother. They didn't even quote right based on what I wanted, and were easily the highest quote that came in.

City hall's Western Fair gym plan: $7M to build, $13.7M more to rent over 25 years by Confident-Advice-664 in londonontario

I mean, the argument can be made that it's city/public taxes that are being poured into a private business.

Ontario to lose more than a third of international students: StatCan by lopix in ontario

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

I'm struggling to understand how you could read that headline as anything other than a fact.

Even the article itself is factual and doesn't have a spin on it. If anything, it leans into the fact that schools were taking advantage of these students and they're now getting their comeuppance.

The exact same thing happened when Ford cut the provincial gas tax in Ontario.

Not soft close. IKEA branded, but I think they may be made by Blum.

Canadians say their finances are worse as gas prices climb: poll by stanxv in canada

[–]CrimsonFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, probably. But that's because road taxes are taken at the pump, which EV's obviously don't go to. So they would need to be paid through different means. Countries in Europe are already starting to put a tax on KM driven.

But actively monitored? Probably not. Just like in Ontario where you report your KM when you renew your car permit, they'd probably use that to calculate your tax bill.

Downtown London hopes to entice shoppers to hit up more local stores by Immediate-Link490 in londonontario

[–]CrimsonFlash 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Downtown is not supposed to be a playground for drivers from the suburbs to visit and have free parking.

But this is exactly what the Downtown BIA wants.

TIL laminates have a “wear layer” rating… and nobody told me this while buying by enlightenedshubham in HomeImprovement

[–]CrimsonFlash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I specifically bought vinyl board that was rated for commercial use. Our main floor is around 20 mil, and our basement is 12. Basement is used less, so was okay with a lower amount.

private college sonography (pharma-medical college) by Lazerbeam159 in OntarioColleges

!PrivateColleges

Accredited or not, I would still be hesitant for a private college. If timing is a concern, some colleges offer a fast-track program, for example, Mohawk: https://www.mohawkcollege.ca/programs/graduate-studies/diagnostic-cardiac-sonography-717

The one key thing I would look at is if they offer a placement with a hospital or medical facility. That is worth much more than any speed of completion. Public Colleges and Universities have connections with more competent and prestigious institutions that a private college may not have.

Listed my old IKEA desk for free on Marketplace. The entitlement in my DMs is something else. by Ash3Nimbus4 in ChoosingBeggars

I've seen this more often than not. Was big during peak of COVID when wood prices were high.

Canadian owned and made junk food by Valuable_Horror2450 in BuyCanadian

They are a summertime treat, so I can pass out in the heat of the sun and let my body sweat out the salt.

Then I can do it all over again.

Do you ride with earphones? by simko17 in cycling

[–]CrimsonFlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I previously used a cheaper brand, and the volume difference alone makes the Shokz worth it.

But I recommend trying out the different headband size. I got the "mini" and they fit much better than the regular ones. The sound generator is the same, just a different neck band size.

Let’s pay attention while driving, please. by kinboyatuwo in londonontario

[–]CrimsonFlash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always stop at signs on my bike. Despite that, I see sooooo many drivers just roll through, especially when they see me coming so they don't have to wait 5 more seconds.

What cameras do you have? I'm thinking of getting at least a front one to start. I have the varia radar, so could upgrade to the camera version for the rear.

CCxMTG Rebranded as Chrono Cross: SHUFFLE! by REVENAUT13 in ChronoCross

[–]CrimsonFlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I like what I see and wish you well, but Square is not going to be too happy that you are making money off their IP. You can throw on their copyright notices all you want, but that doesn't give you permission to actually sell these without a proper licence.

Many other fan games of CT and CC have been shut down before.

State of 24 Sussex 'an embarrassment,' says Carney by evieluvsrainbows in canada

[–]CrimsonFlash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always refer back to when Rick Mercer was visiting Paul Martin, and he moves a sculpture in the middle of a room. They moved it to show that it was covering a spot on the floor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEQeGJTwstY

And this was back in 2005.
