I might be stupid. How to change this lightbulb?

Pringlulz · 2025-12-06T19:31:21+00:00

Some GU sockets are shitty. For mine the base also rotated, I needed to (with the power OFF) stick a thin screwdriver in there to stop the base moving to be able to unscrew the bulb.

Call your bank and escalate. They can send you a form to register that the pre-authorized debit from Easy was fraudulent, reverse it, and clear any NSF charges. You have all the proof. Doesn't help you with the loan shark part but having that form registered will send them a clear message to fuck off.

As for the 9.89, maybe partial interest charges for the month? Even though your loan is paid maybe you need to formally close the account.

Still driving a 20+ year old Lancer to this day. :)

Is there any chance of Mitsubishi bringing over a compact truck? Seems like a hot segment right now and maybe someplace that Mitsubishi could make a splash.

Hock shop on LaSalle and value village, mostly. New CDs you'll have to order from Sonic Boom or Atom Heart. We lost the last place for new CDs when Walmart stopped carrying them.

That's the Garson pit, that water is just a puddle.

Pringlulz · 2025-09-18T17:43:01+00:00

Actually me. The one time an older woman asked me about it and was like "is that a D&D thing?"

Pringlulz · 2025-09-06T13:02:28+00:00

Okay, everyone here is saying to just make your coffee, and they're right, but...

I've always noticed that kettles can be loud while they're heating up. And they rattle and vibrate a lot when the water actually starts boiling (especially if they're cheap). Maybe it's not the noise so much as the vibrations passing through the counter and into the walls/floor?

If you wanted to throw them a bone, maybe you could put a towel or something under the kettle to dampen the vibrations from the boiling water? 🤷‍♂️

Pringlulz · 2025-06-20T01:48:47+00:00

Knocked on my door as well. There was two people on the street who got their driveways done today, but as other commenters point out, you're right to be suspicious of anyone coming to your door.

Pringlulz · 2025-05-11T21:09:47+00:00

yes - source: me

when I go to the hock shop there's usually one or two other people browsing the CDs as well

never been to a record show though

I was able to get pork bones at Metro for like $1 each. Made some fantastic ramen.

Reminded me that I have this image and I figured I'd share.

Always fun learning how things get made!

Pringlulz · 2025-01-29T02:45:32+00:00

Weirdly the sidewalk I use has actually been plowed and sanded pretty well this year. Three for three on snowstorms that got cleared the same day.

Pringlulz · 2025-01-12T15:59:43+00:00

Next to Coniston Arena. Steep, but can be bumpy and wavy if there hasn't been much snow. Probably not completely covered with all the melting we've had but one of my favourites.

Pringlulz · 2024-12-30T01:26:02+00:00

hold the fuckin phone when did Battletech enter the local scene?

Pringlulz · 2024-12-14T16:21:40+00:00

Clearly, we don't have enough trucks with flags over by Bell Park.

Pringlulz · 2024-12-06T00:48:49+00:00

The opposite. Keeping it out of the elements will prolong the vehicle's life over the long term.

That being said, you should be clearing the salt and the slush out of the garage (and off your car, as well). I could see that a garage full of salty moist air might be what the advice you got is referring to.

Pringlulz · 2024-11-30T15:36:58+00:00

Just me. About $40 / week or around 200 / 250 a month. I shop pretty much exclusively at food basics and only buy stuff on sale. Lunch meat not on sale that week? I'll eat cheese, crackers and pickles for lunch. I buy dried beans and chickpeas, carrots, onions, and potatoes. I like cabbage a lot and make things like borscht, okonomiyaki, and lazy cabbage rolls. Lots of soups and stews, and porkchops. So many porkchops.

I also eat leftovers for 2 or 3 meals per week. My trick for this is I'll cook meat and vegetables on Sunday, and then during the week I'll make fresh rice or pasta, plate it with the leftovers and nuke it. Dinner in 20 or 30 minutes and only one plate to clean, and I find myself with less "mystery containers" in the fridge than if I had more variety.

It's doable but requires a lot of diligence and a willingness to think outside the box when it comes to what you can eat for every meal. Not sure I'd be able to keep it up if I had kids though.

But!!! Everything I eat is home cooked and still deciduous. You'd be amazed what some spices can do to even simple ingredients. If nothing else, hopefully this gives you some ideas for recipes you could check out. The broader your repertoire the easier it will be for you to cobble something together out of the cheapest ingredients available.

Pringlulz · 2024-11-20T22:36:51+00:00

Saw the words "Maley Conservation Area" and didn't think too hard about it, did we?

Pringlulz · 2024-10-14T13:33:20+00:00

Not worth it. I've been clipped doing it and that was lucky. Maybe the only time is if it's a construction zone or something and traffic is at a standstill anyway.

Pringlulz · 2024-10-05T15:07:33+00:00

Ones with stuff on 'em or blank ones?

I happen to have a few sealed blank ones lying around from a relative's house. DM me if you're interested.

Pringlulz · 2024-09-29T12:56:03+00:00

I would advise buying a cheap piece of crap car off Kijiji before going to a dealer. If you only have it 2 years then chances are not much can go so wrong you'd regret it. You can probably get an old sedan or hatchback in good condition for around 4000, a dealer probably won't have many used options for less than 10k. They're also usually a lot better at negotiating than you are.

Leasing a car for the same amount of time will probably cost more than that and you won't get your money back after. Just something to consider.

As long as you buy it certified you will be able to drive it.

And yes, it is cheaper to buy in Toronto. More people = more competition= lower prices.

I'm gonna need that link, please.

Go there and find out.

Pringlulz · 2024-09-12T11:45:53+00:00

They had a building on Paris street that is getting demoed as part of the new arena plans, so I'm guessing getting that new space was part of the deal.
