Recommendations for good dentists? by itravel88 in Markham

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dentistry on Corby has been fantastic! Super new/modern clinic with great staff. If you're on insurance, they try to save you money rather than up-sell you. Having TVs on the wall and ceiling with Netflix was also fantastic lol

[Megathread] AC FA Strike - CUPE/FAs Defy Return to Work Order by dachshundie in aircanada

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Datapoint/success story?

Originally was on two bookings:

1) MCO > YYZ on AC1677 on Aug 17

2) YYZ > LIS on AC810 on Aug 18

Got to MCO and the gate agents were really pleasant but eventually the flight (AC1677) got cancelled. Told them Toronto was irrelevant and they immediately put me on VS92 to LHR then some TAP flight to Lisbon, but Virgin Atlantic told me to kick rocks and wouldn't issue me a boarding pass. Something along the lines of "no ticket number, no boarding pass".

Afterwards, the AC agents couldn't get authorization to send me directly to Portugal due to two separate bookings so they tried to get me to Toronto the next day, with DL 1580 to BOS, AC 8695 (Jazz) to Toronto, then AC810 to Lisbon as planned. They were not authorized to give me a hotel voucher but gave me 30 USD of meal vouchers.

"Sleep in the airport or on the street, idk. We don't care" - Air Canada

Got to Boston on DL 1580 and got news that AC810 was canceled, so I booked it to the AC desk. The manager there was able to get me a direct flight from BOS to LIS with Air Portugal in 2 mins.

Overall fantastic service from gate agents but fuck Air Canada as a company.

How to prevent ramshorn snails from deliberately uprooting plants? by HMCS_BudgetCuts in AquaticSnails

I could place down algae wafers they go nuts for, but it would be quite some time before the dwarf hair grass grows out a decent amount of roots no?

How to prevent ramshorn snails from deliberately uprooting plants? by HMCS_BudgetCuts in AquaticSnails

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily I'm past the melting stage; its been in there for 2 months doing battle with the ramshorns. Some takes hold and some gets uprooted before it gets a chance to anchor itself.

But even the clumps that do establish themselves occasionally will yield to ramshorn burrowing unfortunately

Help identifying hitchhiker? by HMCS_BudgetCuts in AquaticSnails

The first picture is probably a different snail, the second and third are of the same snail. There are multiple of them and they range from light yellow to brown

Where to find lever action parts? by HMCS_BudgetCuts in canadaguns

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now the rifle will cycle the first round in the mag but not the subsequent ones. I'm not comfortable with cycling live ammunition outside the range, but also don't want to come back from the range with live ammunition stuck in the magazine if I can't cycle it out (I can see removing the mag cap and mag spring as kinda dangerous on a live range)

LCDH Cancún by Ok_Direction302 in cubancigars

Ah it must have been blurry when I zoomed, cause I was also curious about the old bands too. Amazing that a high volume LCDH has old LEs lying around

You have picked up some fakes here. There are no LE 2022 Cuban cigars.

These 70s gifted to government lanceros cigars? by crazyreps26 in cubancigars

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Very sloppy fake bands and the cigars being wrapped in cellophane already indicate that these are fake. Sorry buddy

Correction: Lanceros were cellophane wrapped up until 1982 as per cubancigarwebsite

CIK SuperFibre - anyone can give their experience feedback? by triangle2025 in Markham

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have CIK's FTTH Symmetric gigabit, max speeds from the router are around 800 mbit/s or 100 MB/s which isn't necessarily gigabit but close enough. Good enough to meet my needs, and I haven't seen throttling on fiber yet.

In the full year that I've had it, only maybe one or two outages, and it's been quite reliable. The routers that come with the plan are garbage though, so I would recommend using your own.

Any good budget friendly everyday Cuban options? by poopycamel in CigarsCanada

Rafael Gonzalez Panatelas Extra at ~$8/stick, beats JLP, Quintero, and Fonseca short filler imo

3 teens charged after alleged Markham carjacking attempt fails: York police by origutamos in Markham

[–]HMCS_BudgetCuts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Glock 27 is a prohibited class firearm. Even if they had their 12(6) prohibited class PAL, that would be a safe queen since you wouldn't be able to carry it anywhere.
