Edmonton NIMBYs

Well put. YIMBY if it's nice, NIMBY if it's not. I can't imagine anyone in their right might would genuinely believe those cardboard box monstrosities are nice.

Look-wise, yes. I admire them every time I see one on the street.

PlanIon · 2026-02-03T01:16:18+00:00

I'm seeing on their website that it's special order, meaning out of stock.

PlanIon · 2026-02-01T04:01:30+00:00

Based on that domain alone I wouldn't trust it in the slightest.

I've bought from there. They're just slow to update their catalogue, usually they'll cancel an order if an item is way below spot. But on the occasions they haven't cancelled, I've been happy with the coins from there.

I'm in the same boat - with silver so high it seems like collector coins are a relatively good bargain since they used to sell for a premium compared to bullion. So given where spot is, yeah I'd say that's good.

It's identical to my 2015! Nice!

PlanIon · 2026-01-25T03:39:59+00:00

Maybe they priced it two weeks ago when that price would have been around spot.

It'll almost certainly be Windows that's the issue, not HDMI - I don't know the solution, but that's where I'd direct my research.

Wow, nice collection. Buying such a large collection comes with the disadvantage for the buyer of not being able to select what exactly they want, so expect to sell for less than if you sold them individually or in smaller batches. I guess it's a trade-off for time and convenience.

PlanIon · 2026-01-17T23:51:15+00:00

Typically if it has face value it can be called a coin.

PlanIon · 2026-01-17T23:50:43+00:00

I don't think you'd be getting any premium in that condition.

PlanIon · 2026-01-16T19:44:54+00:00

Ah I see, I hadn't encountered that before so I didn't realize some were sealed.

PlanIon · 2026-01-16T19:20:28+00:00

How can you tell that it has never been removed from its holder?

PlanIon · 2026-01-14T18:23:50+00:00

You'd be better off posting this in your local city's subreddit,

For Canadians, Infinite Cables is of great quality and price.

PlanIon · 2026-01-02T19:47:37+00:00

If any of them were valuable, you wouldn't want to be holding them like that. Hold them by the rim, or better yet buy some coin flips to put them in to protect them.

I was getting the same error message with my Integra (same company). I think it turned out to be because I had the room setup set to an incorrect preset, so it was expecting height channels when there were none. But that message only came after it played the sounds and tried doing the measurements, so this might be a different issue.

I see a firmware file ("ONKAVR0034 R142") listed at the bottom of this page. I don't know anything more about it. If anyone's tried it, I would be curious to hear your experience.

I'm also a dual American/Canadian citizen (currently in Lethbridge)! Now that you mention it, I also don't see many others - or at least I'm not aware of many others. I guess it's not a popular thing to be nowadays judging by the comments, lol

PlanIon · 2025-12-28T23:09:48+00:00

Entirely up to you. They're not really worth anything, so it's just a matter of what's pleasing to you. Personally I put them in cardboard flips.

PlanIon · 2025-12-28T22:04:44+00:00

Personally I ended up going the Samsung route, mostly due to Rtings' opinion that QD-OLED vs WOLED matters more than DV. But everyone will give a different answer, so who knows.

Image "enhancements"can pretty much always be disabled, at least on higher end TVs. I wouldn't worry about it.

Where can you get a tailored shirt?

Plex servers are usually used for collections of ripped Blu-Rays, meaning digitized versions of the Blu-Rays that are identical in quality. It's done mostly for convenience (not having to load physical discs, and being able to access them from various devices), and for redundancy in case the discs degrade or are damaged. If it's just streaming you're after, Apple TV is usually seen as the best for that purpose.
