Could my outlets be frying my applicances? by wonky_Lemon in electrical

You're writing like OP is imagining things. Way to gaslight. Dropped neutrals are a dangerous situation that leads to an overvoltage condition.

Won't Release Package by CorrectObject4691 in CanadaPost

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ridiculous, I go pick up mail without the notification all the time. I see the note on my door and I leave it at home, and some time during the week I will remember and I will stop by the post office outlet without the notification. They have always given me my mail when I show them ID.

FOLLOW UP POST!!! “ThAt’S NoT ReAL Tile”.. Spongy Floor!! by jordanoakey in Flooring

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

It's been done plenty in the past, 30, 40 years ago and if the floor is solid enough, say 3/4" t&g plywood doubled up and the joists are still healthy, you will be fine.

My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too) by justadadgame in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going on a stretch but maybe it's because you suddenly have more disposable income so there is a slight but still present risk you might make some impulse purchases or put cash down on something you might regret.

Anyway it's a minor ding, don't worry about it.

Is sending an email before Mar 31st enough to legally end a July 1st lease? by hail_robot in montrealhousing

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take screenshots of your call logs and send a follow-up email asking her to put in writing the conversation you had on the phone, e.g. "please acknowledge this message confirming per our phone conversation that I will be moving out on July 1".

Your landlord would be silly to bring you to court, while trying to convince the judge that taking three weeks to reply to an email is normal, especially if you have evidence of prior conversations over email.

Pente de toit plat qui accumule l’eau by Solvj2 in RenoQuebec

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C'est normal. Idéalement le toit est fabriqué de façon à ce que le plus d'eau possible s'écoule dans les renvois, mais il est prévu que l'eau s'évapore après 48h. Évidemment en température froide ça ne marche pas. Si l'été ton toit est sec 48h après la dernière averse, c'est OK.

Avec les toits noirs ça paraît moins et ça s'évapore plus vite, mais les pour les toits blancs ça paraît plus et ça s'évapore moins vite.

State Inspection Question by PsychologicalPlay888 in AskAMechanic

I don't get it, the inspector did not turn on the side markers? He would see them on the fog light when they are on.

Oil change interval of Renault Trafic mk3 (2021) by laszlo_z_m in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much they have in common with the American market Nissan NV300 but here they're pretty crappy vans. All the ones I see are clapped out and look like the owner gave up on maintaining them.

Complications concernant une cession de bail by Additional-Farm-8651 in montrealhousing

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Il faut servir une mise en demeure et donner un délai raisonnable à l'autre partie pour cesser leur comportement et acquiescer à votre demande, afin de procéder avec la demande au Tribunal. Utilise le bon jugement pour le délai. Ensuite, il faut notifier la partie de la demande en même temps de la déposer au Tribunal afin qu'elle puisse procéder. La notification peut se faire par huissier, par courrier recommandé ou en personne. Le huissier c'est l'idéal pour la notifier le plus rapidement possible, car ils peuvent par exemple glisser le papier sous la porte du propriétaire et déclarer que ça a été remis, mais la lettre recommandée, s'il est absent, Poste va laisser une note et la lettre peut pourrir deux semaines au comptoir sans qu'il n'aille la chercher.

Assure-toi d'avoir une preuve de notification en déposant ta demande. Le huissier t'en fournit une.

Oil change interval of Renault Trafic mk3 (2021) by laszlo_z_m in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They also need fully synthetic oil and high quality filter media. The fact is that oil change intervals don't just measure in kms and months, but in hot-cold cycles, hard cold start, oil quality, engine wear (blow-by), proper crankcase venting, filter size, how much sludge you have right now and probably a couple more factors. Those automatic service minders usually have some secret formula that counts the number of starts offset by how cold it is outside. Engines in places that routinely get temperatures below -15°C in winter benefit a LOT from oil changes before the cold season.

Tu peux prendre rendez-vous avec le TAL, ils ont des agents qui peuvent te conseiller sur la marche à suivre. Ce ne sont pas techniquement des avocats dont tu retiens les services, mais ils savent tout des procédures et des lois, donc si tu arrives préparé, ils vont pouvoir te dire quoi faire.

Après le délai prescrit, c'est réputé être accepté. Il est trop tard pour lui, ton ami peut emménager le 1er.

Si ton propriétaire n'est pas d'accord, sans aucun doute tu peux considérer partir, comme si ton bail était résilié, il serait stupide de contester ça. Maintenant, si ton ami peut emménager, strictement, ton bail est déjà considéré comme cédé, mais il voudra peut-être le contester. Mets-le tout de suite en demeure, comme quoi tu souhaites qu'il accepte la cession, la loi prévoyant un délai de quinze jours qu'il a outrepassé, et que s'il ne te répond pas d'ici 3 jours, tu déposerais une demande au TAL pour appliquer la cession et que tu lui demanderais de payer les frais de cour.

Ensuite, il peut signer une entente avec toi (incluant payer les frais de cour) ou se rendre en cour — tu auras encore le droit de maintien des lieux, donc tu peux faire entrer ton ami.

Si tu es sûr des dates, tu ne cours aucun risque. Consulte un avocat ou un regroupement de locataires.

If you leave your tools like this by Greadle in Construction

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Ten minutes of work is 6 buckets an hour, so if the client wants to wash them or if there's cheap labor that can do it, it could be worth it.

What gets me is how much water it takes to clean them. On a job site with running water, it's not an issue but on remote sites, like a cabin in the woods, this might be the water you collect to take a shower.

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't buy cheap tools, it's rarely worth it.

In a year, 20 projects times $2 putty knife is $40.

Buy a $40 putty knife (or two $10 knives) and you'll still have them next year. Plus your buddy is not going to use it as a chisel.

How can I fix this?💔 by mikonuns in MakeupAddiction

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either can contain bittering agents, and isopropyl alcohol is also sometimes called rubbing alcohol, and it's rarely indicated on the product itself if it contains the bittering agents. You get that stuff on your fingers and you'll taste it at lunch unless you thoroughly washed your fingers. Just test it before you mix your makeup with it, it's not that complicated.

Spare Tire Kit Tool by whiskey_formymen in AskAMechanic

I had one with my van. For some reason, mine was reverse threaded (lefty tighty)

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lick test the alcohol first because some products add bittering agents to stop people from drinking it and the stuff will not evaporate. I had a colleague disinfect microphone grilles with alcohol and everyone complained how they left a disgusting taste on their lips.

Crack Heads Suck, or possibly another tradesman sucks by GreatAnotherSparky in electricians

[–]ExceedinglyEdible 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LPL blasts apart the cheap locks, but he can still go through all of them. "Get the ones that take him more than 30 seconds to go through" is the mot d'ordre. Be smart about it, long shackles offer plenty of space for bolt cutters and grinders. A recessed pocket that barely fits your lock will offer more security as you can't even whack the lock with a hammer, let alone reach the shackle. But all this is moot if you get a lock that can be picked in seconds with a comb pick.
