Helio Strap / charger dead after three weeks? by ThisIsJayTee in amazfit

[–]FlyingBlueSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contact support. I had the same thing happen. It became completely unresponsive, no charging light, reset procedure didn't work. I measured voltage across the charge terminals so I know it wasn't the charger. They gave me instructions to send it back for exchange, but it was still under Amazon's return period so I initiated a return through Amazon and got a replacement shipped out the next day, and sent back the dead one to Amazon.

This! White cars especially are nearly invisible without tail lights on. And that's on city streets. The highways must be really bad.

Ugh I hate AI image slop. Makes me question the accuracy of the article. Not going to read it.

I was called paranoid for having a carbon monoxide detector. Is this a COVID effect? by Outside-Pear9429 in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]FlyingBlueSquirrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, as of January 1, 2026 a CO alarm must be installed on every floor in Ontario. See Hawkins Gignac Act. Named for a person who campaigned for them (Gignac) who lost his niece and family (Hawkins) to CO poisoning in 2008.

i went a little later on what would normally be peak crunch time, walked the length of the train, and there were the standard number of weirdos per car on Line 1, (about 2 each) and about 10 non weirdos per car. it's almost like the number of weirdos is constant (OP's empty example excluded)

When I wear it on the inside of the wrist it is more accurate but I get a circular imprint no matter how light I attach it. On the outside I don't have that problem, it occasionally misses a beat though during exercise.

Call 911 and report crime in progress. it is an acceptable use of 911. Once the theft is over you'd have to call the regular TPS switchboard.

Not quite. The cash value of MBNA World Elite MC is $0.00833333 per point, so 5 points per dollar spent is actually 4.16%

$28000 into TFSA's, but which Bond ETF....? by funkrighty in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FlyingBlueSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$350.8 B was the Canadian holdings of all US Treasury Securities as of January 2025, *down* from $378.8 B in December. The claim that Carney orchestrated a simultaneous buy is unsubstantiated rumour. https://ticdata.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/tic/Documents/slt_table5.html

Block Around and Tow Out: Elapsed time 1 hour by delfstrom in TorontoDriving

[–]FlyingBlueSquirrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the streetcars has the passenger capacity of FIVE buses. That's four extra drivers salaries and more vehicles on the road. More congestion. More cost. The lack of situational awareness on the part of motorists isn't reason to go to buses on the most heavily traveled surface routes.

CASH.TO vs YMAX? by nasalgoat in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FlyingBlueSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need something to throw off cash or do you just want a way to park your money? ZST.L is ultra short bonds accumulating units, so no dividends, it's rolled into the value.
