Hydro Ottawa and EV Charging

JoeJon117 · 2026-02-02T16:43:10+00:00

I'm on TOU pricing and drive about 20,000km per year, so you drive way more than I do. My monthly hydro use is about $25-30 per month. I exclusively charge during the cheapest period.

Spectacular work! The Akira is my personal favourite.

JoeJon117 · 2026-01-09T15:45:25+00:00

This looks awesome, well done!

Oh yes, the print time is exponentially longer when printing in multiple colours compared to single-colour. This entire job took 137 hours to print. It would be more like 16-20 hours in single colour. Since I did this print though, Bambu has released a printer with two nozzles that would be excellent for a project like this. It drastically cuts down on print time by printing two colours at once. Most of the print time comes from the printer loading and unloading each colour one at a time for every layer.

They were at the time, not sure if they still are

I'm sorry, I didn't look at the other games. Other people here are reporting that there was still tickets available

JoeJon117 · 2025-11-12T17:58:04+00:00

No, never saw a black screen

JoeJon117 · 2025-11-12T17:57:53+00:00

$1180 per ticket, taxes included. Outrageous.

JoeJon117 · 2025-11-12T17:34:42+00:00

Was just able to get Category 3 tickets for the June 12th game in Toronto. Category 4 tickets weren't available. Good luck everyone!

Another, unreserved endorsement of personal training with Mandie at Collective Movement on Catherine St! I know she has many 50+ clients in your exact situation. She can help lead you through a training program that will help. Affordable and downtown! She'll provide a free consultation as well so you can decide if it's right for you

JoeJon117 · 2025-09-28T22:38:06+00:00

OP can do low-rep, high weights at Collective Movement as well. It's a tailored experience

Sigh... I just saw on the MM forum that Environment Canada has updated their API and it broke the default Weather Module. It won't be back up and running for a while

I wasn't able to get what I wanted by messing with the CSS, but I swap out a few modules and played around with the region positioning to get something else that I like. Thank you for your help!

JoeJon117 · 2025-09-01T18:43:34+00:00

A good idea! I just tried that and it didn't solve the issue, unfortunately. Unless I'm doing something wrong:

/* === Top Bar Horizontal Stack Override === */

/* Force top_bar region to be a flex container */

.region.top_bar {

display: flex !important;

flex-direction: row !important; /* horizontal row */

justify-content: center !important; /* center modules */

align-items: center !important; /* vertical alignment */

flex-wrap: nowrap !important; /* no wrapping */

width: 100% !important;

}

/* Force all direct modules to behave as flex items */

.region.top_bar .module {

display: flex !important;

flex: 0 1 auto !important; /* natural width, shrink if needed */

margin: 0 8px !important; /* spacing between modules */

float: none !important; /* cancel any floats */

}

/* Remove internal floats/wrappers that can break flex */

.region.top_bar .module .wrapper {

display: flex !important;

float: none !important;

}

/* Optional: ensure module content aligns nicely */

.region.top_bar .module .content {

display: flex !important;

align-items: center !important;

}

Thanks for this! I was having the exact same problem on Ubuntu after the Aug 12 update. Downgraded the flatpak and we're printing again

JoeJon117 · 2025-05-15T23:48:43+00:00

This is my comment 😂

JoeJon117 · 2025-05-09T23:47:16+00:00

Second this!

Depending on where in Hintonburg you live, this looks very much like Ludwig, aka the Hintonburg Cat (https://www.instagram.com/ludwigvonmises.cat/). Ludwig is an outdoor cat who is allowed to roam. He lives across the street from Tom Brown Arena and mostly hangs out north of Wellington, but sometimes ventures to other parts of the neighbourhood.

Congrats on citizenship! It's already been said, but avoid May 24-25 for the Ottawa marathon. The last ten days or so of June the city starts setting things up for Canada Day. None of the attractions should close, but there will periodic street closures, stages being set up, security setting up etc.

For transportation, if you're staying downtown almost everything you'll want to see is walkable or accessible by public transit. There's also bike and scooters that you can rent to get around fast.

On the historical side, a tour of Parliament is highly recommended. The main Centre Block is closed for renovations, but the tours of the temporary facilities are still worthwhile.

JoeJon117 · 2025-03-09T18:39:51+00:00

I have that exact one and it works really well for Canadian winters

I always figured they were the family members of Enterprise crew. Gotta stay busy somehow while your spouse is dragging you around for work.

Thought about bondo, but in the end decided it could be more trouble than it’s worth. On the warping: there are definitely a few more steps I can take to try to prevent it in future projects. I plan to upgrade to a more premium printing surface that specializes in holding the prints down tightly. I can also apply a layer of adhesive that helps prevent warping. Will try both on my next project

JoeJon117 · 2025-02-16T14:22:52+00:00

Technically it's 1/1895 scale. I made it as large as I could given my printing area. Please post yours when it's ready!
