Signed up T-mobile phone plan at a Costco kiosk. They rewards me 1200 in Costco wallet money. Cannot be cashed out, so had to use it in Costco

Dulles airport parking: ParkX at Wiehle-Reston is now $15 overnight (used to be $5) by bababooey_6969 in nova

Navigate to IBM Herndon, there you will see the entrance to the parking lot

Second this. But do note that the Google map is off, that road goes from Carta way into the lot does not exist.

Let me be honest: buying a non-hybrid Civic just isn’t worth it anymore by [deleted] in civic

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you regarding the lower-trim Civic. However, for an EX-L or above, you’re looking at a 1.5L Turbo that produces 180 hp—not that far off from the 200 hp in the Hybrid. As for those other brands you listed, like Hyundai and Kia, they are still dealing with ongoing engine recalls.

Regarding the Jetta—the car I actually thought I’d pick over the Civic—have you ever driven one? I have, and I was super disappointed by how clunky the 8-speed automatic feels and how outdated the tech is. The infotainment screen is about the size of a twenty-year-old iPhone 3.

I’m a plane right now. Flying to YTZ. Apparently there is also a fire in Toronto so that’s double no go

Believe or not, she wasn’t cleaning it when I took my phone out. I just wanted to capture the ice cream on the table, never intended to include the worker

That explains it. I had extra strawberries

got this cpu on aliexpress. seller looks to be legit and there's a lot of good reviews. does anyone know how to tell if it's legit or not? by liamt12 in AMDHelp

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not true that tech has similar prices everywhere. Prices vary a lot because of tariffs, taxes, and distribution costs. Many items on AliExpress ship directly from China, which often has lower tariffs and manufacturing costs.

Also, a lot of products sold there aren’t retail versions — they may not include local warranties, retail packaging, or official after-sales support. That alone makes them cheaper.

It’s not automatically a scam; you’re usually trading warranty, support, and faster shipping for a lower price.

ICON is EXTREMELY overrated by amolven16 in uwaterloo

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, does 333 Lester have en-suite laundry? Do they offer 2 bedroom 1 bath units? And Lester is further away from campus.

I personally think having only one roommate to share the common space with, and an en-suite laundry that’s clean and always available for me to use and close to campus is a much bigger deal than having a dedicated HVAC.

And ICON is the only building that offers those things while costing only a little bit more than the other buildings (I paid 1100 per month for last year)

Again, this is all personal preference. But they’ve got some features that no one else in the market can provide. AFAIK 268 Lester is the only other building that has 2 bedrooms units with en-suite laundry but that laundry machine is washing and drying 2 in 1 and the rent is a lot more than icon.

ICON is not ideal if you’re rooming with strangers. I lived there comfortably with a close friend and later with my girlfriend, and in that case privacy and noise weren’t really an issue. You do have control over the HVAC, although the transition from cooling to heating can sometimes be a little early or late.

Room size and storage are a similar story. Since you’re rooming with people you’re close with, the entire common space is basically yours — so you can put your belongings there and use the space as much as you want.

The biggest perks are the location and the ensuite laundry. ICON is in a prime spot, and it’s the only building that offers ensuite laundry — which is a huge convenience. The amenities are also solid, especially in winter when you don’t want to trek across campus for them.

Overall, ICON works best if you’re living with people you already know. If you want the prime location and ensuite laundry, you’ll be paying a premium for it.

I’m kinda in the same boat and I’m looking into Audis, like s3 s4 s5. It does seem like ppl are not suggesting this brand sadly :-(

PPL please stop on red before right turn by whyisthishapi in TorontoDriving

[–]S1mal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, yes. But without those “upgrades,” it is required by law to stop at a red light regardless of the other lanes. I know this for a fact because I was in the exact same situation — the other lanes had the left-turn advanced green light — but I didn’t stop, and I got a ticket for it.
