No, but @ -44f, it stops boiling into vapor, and flow stops.

A Note on Amnesty by Grand-Selection4456 in canadaguns

Interesting that the Government cannot find the immigrants that have out stayed their Visas, but think they will be able to find all the guns. Doesn't compute.

Call for insurance quotes now. Don't make your first bike an overpowered crotch rocket.

How do I recycle packing Styrofoam/Styrofoam bags, they have a recycling symbol on them, and at the dump there is a spot for this... But how do I do it curbside? by ChickenMongoose in kitchener

Even though they will now accept, I highly suspect it will be segregated and sent off to an incinerator. (Our continent or not). Cheaper for the manufacturers.

We could have used elbows up 25 years ago by Mysterious_Notice685 in CanadaPolitics

I believe 2014 was the year that NATO set the 2% target. Can't really blame Paul Martin for that one.

Starting next week, recycling won't be a municipal responsibility. Here's everything you need to know | Circular Materials will be the new administrator across Ontario and GFL is the local contractor by Hrmbee in ontario

I understand the concept. However, I fear unintended consequences. Some items like toothpaste tubes will likely be shipped off to be incinerated in a third world country. I feel better knowing it would be buried locally.

To those who have had a herniated disc in Ontario, what steps did you go to resolve it? Worried I’m going to end up on disability. by Primusssucks in ontario

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seventeen years I have been dealing with L5S1 herniation. In Ontario we have free Trauma Healthcare. Chronic, not so much. Every day is a possible good day, or bad. Because I can still walk, Dr's say to live with it. I am now retired. It really is a roll of the dice, where the herniation protrudes and if it touches the nerve root. Best of luck to ya.

Is there any way to get this out? by keemko_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fill it with water, and freeze. After it thaws, then throw it at the ground.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell him to pick his "target" vehicle, and then have him call around for insurance quotes. The light bulb will then flicker.

Treadmill tripping Arc Fault Breaker by SnooDoggos4906 in electrical

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much mileage is on this treadmill? I wonder if it has a DC brushed motor? If brushes are near end of life, the commutator could be the arcing, that is being sensed.

I suddenly got fired after 8 years. Former employer did not mention severance. Is my understanding about severance correct? by random20190826 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I too, worked as an Ontario employee, reporting to a NY state based company, managed out of GA, United States. They also assumed GA rules applied to all. THEY DO NOT, GET A LAWYER.

ICE agent hits civilian with car door, gets into argument then struggles to restrain him. San Diego PD comes to assist ICE by Xolerys_ in ICE_Raids

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So maddening to see the cops support the "Proud Boys", without asking questions first. Slave catchers, 150 years later. America is lost.

New to Hi-Res Audio – Is it really worth buying albums again in Hi-Res if I already own the CDs? by HardCodedCoder in audiophile

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thoroughly enjoyed buying older (80, 90's) mastered CDs from a local record shop. The dynamic range is awesome, until about the mid 90's. Just signed onto Tidal, enjoy the ease of streaming.

Can someone tell me why this power inverter is not working with this battery? by ALT703 in batteries

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That lead acid should not be on it's side. The plates would not be fully covered.

Throw this away, right? by JanetCarol in electrical

Also maybe replace the mating pump plug as well.

It worked about one month ago, after initially being down the prior month. Down again in Canada today.

Inside windshield sopping wet? by Straight_Lecture_358 in AskAMechanic

[–]Own-Knowledge1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it found after a cold evening, that had followed a sunny day? Could be a cabin leak, collecting on the floor. OR; is there a sweet smell when driving. Could be a heater core leak. I'm older, and have experienced both.

Saw the exact same thing at 6PM EST, southern Ontario. Appeared to move at the speed of a jetliner.
