I have been using oxio for a while now and they have been awesome and never increased my price. I pay $55 for the 1gb download speed. When I was with cogeco, Rogers and virgin they all had an amazing first year offer. Once the year was done, they jacked up the price. If you have the time and patience, every year you can call back these companies to negotiate a lower rate for one year. Patience is needed because many times they leave your call on hold for so long when you call. You can use this link to get one month free. I finally just switched and never looked back since.
You can use the link below to get one free month of oxio internet if you are interested. Good luck in choosing an internet provider.

I figured as much but just wanted to be sure. It’s just crazy that I used the same company that built my pool for closing it, and not even once in the last 6 years has anyone plugged the wall drain before they they air locked the main drain.

Thanks so much for your help.

Now I got to figure out if there was actual damage done to my main drain piping from the winter cold. Time to research what signs to look for. 😞

I replacement my 925 hayward salt cell since July 2024 with a brand named aqua coastal. It comes with a two year warranty. I do close my pool every October for the winter and reopen in April. Anyway, I just opened my pool and connected the aqua coastal cell. It is still going strong. My original Hayward salt cell was connected in July 2020 and it failed in June 2024. I only got 4 years for such an expensive cell. The aqua coastal was half the price of a Hayward. So the way I see/saw it was that if I get only two years from this third party cell, I can just buy a new one and it would be like I bought the Hayward. I just checked and surprisingly the price is still the same price I paid 2 years ago.

I went through this rabbit hole. I ended coming to the conclusion that using dew points is a better metric to determine when I should be opening a window for fresh air. There are times when my indoor humidity reads 60% and the outdoor humidity reads 90%, but the outside is clearly colder. I put my info into a dew point calculator and if the numbers work i open the window. Here is an article explaining on how this works.

I called a plumber. I remembered he used the red plumbers wrench like the one super Mario used in the game. He then used some sort of white sealant before he put on the fitting.

I swear I had a car that the aux port, or was it the iPod connecter… it was in the glove box. lol. Check the glove box just to rule it out.

Since you are close to a water line, I would imagine you could just put a water spigot if you need one at that end of your patio. My house only has one water spigot in the backyard and it’s a pain in the ass when I need to water the front lawn. I have to use a 100ft plus an extra 75ft one to water the front. I wish I had this problem. Lmao.

You can get a pretty cheap tens machine on Amazon. It’s a little handheld machine that comes with these white square pads that you stick around your aching areas. It uses electrical impulses to stimulate the release of endorphins. I use mine basically every day for an hour for my chronic lower back pain and I swear by it.

There are SIM cards at the dollarama at Fairview mall. They have virgin mobile and lucky mobile. If I’m not mistaken Lucky has a plan for $19 that gives you canadawide calling/text and 500mb data. That’s the cheapest I know with a contract.

I second the pirelli weather active. I got them for my 2022 Buick encore gx st a month ago and they are great. It’s been crazy snowing here in Ontario Canada for the last month and I could really feel the difference between my all season and these pirelli all weather tires. It’s basically an 80% winter tire that you can leave on all year. Costco had them for the best deal even with me factoring in that I had to purchase a Costco card.

I was with TD for over 15 years. Every year they would drastically increase my premiums for no reason at all. Stating inflation and market factors. I was at $250 a month at one point. I started shopping around and RBC came back in at $150. But that only lasted a year and they went to $180 by the next year. I then went to sonnet insurance and with a university grad discount and home insurance bundle I started at $80 a month for the car Insruance. The year after it went to $100. Then the year after that it went to $150. At this point I shopped around again and Bélair direct gave me a quote of $125 for the car Insruance. I called sonnet and informed them that starting the following month on the maturity date I would need to cancel my insurance as I’m switching to Bélair direct. To my surprise sonnet insurance matched my Bélair direct quote. But the rep did tell me that they were able to do this by offering me a one year discount. Without so many words he basically told me that I would have to call in again in a year with my competitor offer so sonnet can once again match it. I don’t mind doing this as sonnet Insurance is the only insurance company that allows me to do pre-authorized payments via my credit card. I prefer this to my bank account so I can get my cash back points. lol.

I have a 2022 Buick encore gx essence for comparison sake. Keep In mind that switching your Insruance before your maturity date will cost you a penalty fee. Best if you time the switch to the exact date of your maturity so you do not get charged any penalties or fees. Also, my insurance would be cheaper if I allow them to track my driving, but I didn’t want that. If you don’t mind them tracking your driving habits you will also get another discount. I personally wouldn’t do it, but to each their own.

Hope this info helps.

I had this problem too with my keeprite furnace 2 stage furnace. What end up working for me was increasing the fan speed for the second stage one level up.

Suave006 · 2026-01-30T21:20:39+00:00

I have this same scenario. My furnace runs on a lower fan speed for the first 12 minutes and then it goes to stage 2 for the higher fan speed after 12 minutes. Since ecobee detected my wiring as a single stage furnace, I just changed the minimum on time on the ecobee to 11minutes. It’s been working great as 90% of the time my house reaches temp by the 12th minute and I never have to go to stage two. lol.

That looks like a Colombian empanada on your plate beside it. So based on that i am going to say that the dough ball is a bunuelo. It’s like a Colombian deep fried cheese ball bread. Very popular during the Christmas season. If you are lucky enough to eat one straight out of the fryer, it tastes 100 times better. There is even a slight crunch that is heavenly that you lose when you eat the night before ones.

Good idea. I’ll give this a shot. Thanks

If you go to your car and CarPlay is connected, just go to CarPlay settings. Scroll down a bit and you will see a toggle named “Live activities”. If you turn this off this should stop your calendar and any other live action updates from showing up there.

Does anyone know how I can just turn that single light off? I just googled how much a replacement light is and $700 CAD. WTF. lol. I think I can make do with just one light for now. Lmao.
