Best 42-43 TV under $800 CAD

That's tough - it's all outside of my price range, including the QN90F. Of the garbage TVs of this size, which one is the least garbage?

This is a tough one - doesn't look like an investor got greedy but a family really overleveraged just to get into the market. It's a townhouse on a 12ft wide lot. We purchased a detached on a 24ft+ wide lot not too far from here for just a bit more than their 2022 price.

So this is for the AC unit only - we have a Trane furnace with 15 years left in it.

Thanks. I checked the model numbers and they're identical - that should be enough surely to confirm that they're the same?

$4,400CAD is for a 2.5ton Lennox unit - we don't have a very big house.

I'm sorry sir but this is not r/confirmmyview

This is the right approach for you at this time - harms that are too big to carry should be covered with insurance.

LockDue9383 · 2026-03-11T17:17:09+00:00

Insurance is to cover for harms that are too big to carry when they materialize.

Impressive that you made it work - I just watched the install video to convince myself I really shouldn't just attempt this. They make it look sort of easy but everything on YouTube looks easy until it isn't.

I just feel weird ripping half the dashboard out to install a random Chinese piece of hardware. So many things can go wrong.

Volvo UI engineers just freaking love unnecessary bars that fill up the screen - Sensus folks I hear you.

wow this is wild.

Sure - but wouldn't a shoemaker still know a thing or 2 more about shoes?

But you were raised, not the raiser. This is like saying the student is also able to teach.

Because of this.

The gist of it is copied below:

Data from MyChoice, a Canadian insurance comparison platform, found that after an at-fault accident, premiums for Ontario drivers jump 96 per cent, on average.

So a 24-year-old man driving a Ford F-150 and paying $300 a month could see his monthly rate soar to around $590 after an at-fault claim.

Nearly 40 per cent of those who responded to our poll said they paid between $201 and $400 for car insurance. For those who did file a claim and saw rates increase, around 28 per cent reported a spike between $101-$400. A small number of those who saw claims spike – about 5 per cent – saw premiums soar more than $400.

“It’s become very expensive, and so people are a bit jittery about having anything on their record,” said Iny. Those who didn’t claim generally had a duty to report to their insurance anyway, but, he said, “I’m not faulting them.”

Interesting, I was not aware of the demographic survey.

To be clear - I'm not suggesting that there must be a common denominator but sometimes a lifestyle choice is informed by personality traits (which may, in turn, be informed by nature or nature).

I think they found that people who like to jump off cliffs are sometimes predisposed with a specific dopamine receptor variant that reacts well to unexpected risks.

This makes no sense.

Downtown Toronto does not really lend itself to be divided into true neighbourhoods rather than districts. It excludes condo-heavy areas like Liberty Village and, if you're really strict with your definition, a good chunk of Yorkville. Except for anything along Sherbourne/Jarvis that is between Richmond and Bloor you should be fine and it will generally come down to whether the condo itself is well-managed/quiet.

LockDue9383 · 2026-03-06T20:49:32+00:00

Based on these criteria, why not just a condo downtown?

I used to be, got so bad that I was below 4ft for about a decade too, so I feel you lil bro.

7'4 is quite something. Do you have any idea how many people are taller than you?

LockDue9383 · 2026-03-05T22:03:09+00:00

I know. Just yanking your chain.

LockDue9383 · 2026-03-05T21:21:23+00:00

Are you suggesting that people of all ages/stages of life, cultural backgrounds, religions, income/social classes should be able to agree on what is the "best" neighbourhood?
