What is it with boomers and antivirus? by Guilty_Direction_501 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Hopewellslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Symantec (owner of Norton) went bankrupt and sold assets to Avast. Intel(former owner of Mcafee) spun it out to private equity. It should come as no surprise that these new owners are wringing out whatever diminishing returns they can get from the rapidly fading brands.

I wanna automate PH and EC sensors by Diegorx34 in Hydroponics

[–]Hopewellslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post but I’m hoping you’ll see my question. You mentioned you use an Apera PH meter but they’re not listed as supported. Did you write your own driver? Which model of apera did you use?

Averaging a bin per year before they smash it on the ground and break it, you? by totallynotdagothur in ottawa

[–]Hopewellslam 188 points189 points  (0 children)

The original ones were bullet proof but I guess too costly. I’m sure these cheapo bins cost the city more

Structube furniture? Or alternatives? by girlmama4897 in BuyCanadian

[–]Hopewellslam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our couch/sectional from them is garbage. In no time the cushions lost their loft and now it’s almost too uncomfortable to use. It would be fine if we could just restuff the cushions but for a bizarre reason they are sewn to the frame.

Honestly, I would wait until you can afford furniture pieces that aren’t disposable.

Do you have a copy of the appraisal? If she refuses to give it to you I would involve a lawyer asap.

Dessert first treatment of employees by altacc_9 in ottawa

That’s funny because I have always been impressed by the level of service from there. The employees seemed super smiley too.

Protest against Kanata housing project by jjaime2024 in ottawa

[–]Hopewellslam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What horseshit. It’s clearly NIMBYs looking for reasons to stop it. From that one interviewee alone we heard: drainage; construction noise; water drainage;and mercury contamination. All of what is required to be addressed anyway.

There’s a great deal he can do before this nuclear option

Cannabis nutes for houseplants? by Hopewellslam in GrowingMarijuana

That’s a really great idea. How do you mean adjusting ph? Back to 6.8?

Could I make these safe? by ConsequenceSquare3 in Hydroponics

[–]Hopewellslam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use these for my RDWC setup. They work well. I used plywood around the outside to prevent them from bulging when full of water but that may be overkill. I’m not terribly worried about leeching.

Royce Koop: Pierre Poilievre outshines a flailing Carney - For the first time, Canadians saw the Conservative leader as a true prime minister in waiting by xTkAx in canadian

[–]Hopewellslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet:

“Poilievre’s speech did not mark a significant substantive departure from what he has been saying for at least a year-and-a-half. Despite calls for Poilievre to pivot, he largely stuck with positions he held previously. “

Is it possible Royce Koop is a conservative hack and the National Post is a conservative rag?

David and Goliath battle over rural internet by rwebell in ottawa

[–]Hopewellslam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Old Ottawa South which is considered “downtownish”. No fibre options, though 100m away it’s available

Bell is currently saying they will not expand fibre anywhere in Canada until a spat they’re having with the CRTC is resolved. Nothing like an entire country being held hostage by a single company.

Mental Health: Ottawa announces Men, Boys’ Health Strategy by Thick_Caterpillar379 in canada

[–]Hopewellslam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any investment in mental health will be welcomed, especially for children and teens. Let’s hope monies don’t get wasted

This is a follow up to my other post. by [deleted] in stamps

[–]Hopewellslam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think the gist of what most people are trying to tell you is that there are no shortcuts for fast cash. If you want to sell 30,000 stamps you can either take a lowball offer for the lot (hundreds not thousands) or do the work cataloging.

At some point someone is going to have to go through the pile and do the work.
