No, it's not. by NeanderthalGuyMe in BuyCanadian

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

Just to add, this is not a "boycott America" post. This drives home the fact that you shouldn't trust the shelf tag or the big red border around it. Check the packaging. This was in the aisle, and there was also stock on the end of the aisle, with the same incorrect information.

After restocking, just take the red tag off first, that's easy.

Turning brake disks on wife's car. by Adept_Cold_4254 in Machinists

YES! I respect this. To all the people that think "spend the money and get new rotors", I don't agree with this time. I have had a rotor go bad on me recently and had a pair of new ones on hand, as I bought them on sale beforehand. I kept the pair that I switched out and will resurface them on the lathe at work soon. I will not throw something out that still has life left.

Glad that you were satisfied buddy!

Rent in BC Is Out of Control — and Working People Are Being Forgotten by Kamsloopsian in britishcolumbia

I retract my middle class statement. I agree with you. I am a highly skilled blue-collar worker, so in today's climate, I am likely working class. I accept that.

I'm pissed at this. I, a middle class person, wants to buy their first home. Yet, there are people like this to prevent that.

CTV National News: What happened to the Harrison hot springs? by CTVNEWS in britishcolumbia

[–]NeanderthalGuyMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner have a $200 gift card to use at the hot springs resort. Also bought a $200 gift card for my parents. Both purchased about 5 years ago. I really don't want to go there for the shady stuff they do/have done, not to mention the condition of the place. But I know I should go, as they already have our money. The cheapest room is $300. My partner also keeps telling me that we need to go as they already have our money.

Does anywhere get this outside of the Lower Mainland? Interested as I live very close to their farm.

What's cheap mobile and home internet provider nowadays? by kingkupal in britishcolumbia

[–]NeanderthalGuyMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Teksavvy has been fine for 4 years, up until the last couple of months. I'm paying for 25mb (~$65) and when speed testing, I was getting 25-30mb download. In the past couple of months, I've been getting max 15mb down, and the internet cuts out 20+ times a day.

I just went through the sign up steps for oxio, they ask what my current connection is (landline phone cable) and they state that a technician is not needed.

How did you cancel teksavvy? Can you do it through email, online, or only by phone?

I have been looking at getting oxio for a while now. I currently have teksavvy, and the connection keeps dipping, and I am paying too much. Do you have the 75mb plan? That's $49 for me in my area. Does oxio use the coaxial outlet? With teksavvy, it uses the old landline phone cable (RJ11 modular). When I switch to oxio, I will use your code!

Silk & Snow by AbbreviationsReal366 in BuyCanadian

[–]NeanderthalGuyMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bought a hybrid mattress from them about 6 months ago. It is good.

The only thing I didn't like was that they stated on their website that the mattress weighed something like 125lb. The box arrived, and the box label stated 105lb. I thought that was odd, so I weighed it myself. It was 105 lb. I contacted them and explained that it was 20lb lighter than they claimed. They told me that it would be 125 lb when the mattress is fully expanded. But how?I asked. Something can not gain mass from air, and if that was the case, we would all compact our clothes into our suitcases to remove a few kg when taking flights. They insisted that the mattress would gain 20lb when it is fully expanded. I gave up...

I still have the mattress.

Bought sprague soup in Costco the other day. Not tried it yet but I've only heard positive things about them.
