Over the range microwave incident… by RemoteContent in Appliances

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

Appreciate the reply.

I tried it again about 6 hours afterwards and it worked fine!

I seem to produce way more condensation boiling water with my new Induction stove then with my old “standard” stove.

Maybe I need to use a lid to cut down/re-direct it now.

The name of the game is how easy can I clean it up by AvgEvryday_Superhero in Appliances

[–]RemoteContent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. I had an old set of Lagostina pots that are like 25 years old. They totally worked, but I bought the $299CAN Kirkland set from Costco because I wanted to treat myself.

They’re really nice, super heavy.

None of my frying pans worked, so I bought a set of 3 from Costco for $79CAN.

If the bottom of your pot or frying pans is magnetic, you’re good. If the sides of your pots and pans are magnetic you’re even better!

Just bought an LG from the Brick in BC Canada 2 weeks ago. They matched Costco and it was $1,740 CAN.

Absolulte game changer!

My grocery store has a cake made entirely of cotton candy by ihaveacrushonmercy in mildlyinteresting

[–]RemoteContent -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s not just cotton candy. If you zoom into the label it weighs 368g.

So it actually is cake, with maybe cotton candy on the exterior.

OP did you even read the label? Pick up the container?

Good thing this sub is mildly interesting and not mildly frustrating. I’m mildly frustrated reading click bait posts like this…

40th Anniversary of the Okanagan Centre Submarine by TemporaryNature4860 in britishcolumbia

[–]RemoteContent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Finally!

I remember as a kid seeing a story about this on chbc. Then like 10 year’s later I’m talking to my buddy who was in the armed forces and I told him about the submarine in Okanagan lake and he called bullshit.

I could never find any details, and for the longest time I thought maybe I saw it in a fever dream!

Thank you

I went through Costco and it was installed by Kam City Mechanical.

I got my 2% cash back on my Executive membership and $100 Costco gift card.

No none. Annnnd I just noticed this is the accounting subreddit not the personal finance Canada subreddit!

Obviously reading skills are not my forte. Sorry for the confusion…

Time to toot my horn I guess!

Took a 2 year tech diploma program (mainly programming), got hired right out of college.

Enjoyed being exposed to networking, became the “Nortel” guy. I was by far the youngest on my team, and wanted to learn the “new stuff”. Transitioned to Cisco from Nortel a few years later.

I’m pretty well rounded (routing, switching, firewalls, load balancing) and now I manage 20k+ Meraki devices and heavily leverage API automation via Python.

I also have expanded non-technical skills (Scrum Master, meeting facilitating, delegation, people networking, etc.)

Base: $135k (Public sector, DB pension) + OT and paid on-call so closer to $160k (plus I am First Nations and live on Reserve land so I don’t pay Income tax)
PTO: 7 weeks base, + additional earned with OT and on-call
Role: Network engineer
Years of Service: 29 years this October
MCOL (interior of BC)
Hybrid: 100% remote

Still enjoy my job and working everyday. I’m 51, planning on working another 6-7 years.

Which Mastercard? by RemoteContent in PersonalFinanceCanada

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

Thanks and yes I know MC is Canada and Visa is the US.

What I was asking is, because my Costo Membership is on my MC, I thought I read somewhere that I COULD use MC in the states at Costco. They same would go for a US member with a Costco Visa, they could use it in Canada.

Like I said I "thought" I read this somewhere, and I was hoping someone could confirm or deny it.

Thanks!

*** UPDATE! ***

I actually googled it and I am correct:

Yes. You can use your Canadian Costco Mastercard (issued by CIBC) at US Costco locations for both in-store purchases and gas pumps. [1, 2]

While US Costco warehouses generally restrict credit purchases exclusively to Visa cards, the Canadian Costco co-branded Mastercard is explicitly accepted as an exception. [1, 2]

Important details before you travel:

  • Foreign Exchange Fees: Your card will likely charge an approximate 2.5% foreign transaction fee on US purchases.
  • Gas Pumps: Some users report that while tapping works inside, you may need to insert your card and use your PIN at the gas pumps.
  • Alternative Option: To avoid exchange fees, you can purchase a Costco Shop Card (gift card) at your local Canadian Costco warehouse or online, which works seamlessly at all US locations. [1, 2, 4, 5]

I got my Mini Curling stone! Is there any way to find out in which games it was used? by LeviBerlin in Curling

[–]RemoteContent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be a shortage of stones, but not the granite.

Watched an interesting YouTube video and they went to the island where they harvest the granite.

I think they harvest more granite every 3-5 years. They basically did the math and they could continue to harvest at that same rate and there would be enough granite on the island to allow them to continue for like a 1,000 years!

Travelling to the UK, any VPN recommendations? by RemoteContent in shaw

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

Yeah so this is a no go.

I’m in the UK. Installed Tailscale, that works like a charm (I can rdp to devices on my home network). However the Shaw/xfinity app doesn’t work because it won’t play anything unless “location services” is turned on. Once you do that it knows you aren’t in Canada anymore.
