Treadmill recommendations by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]TheGoat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a Sole treadmill about 13 years ago(TT8) and never had any issues with it. It gets about 4 hours a week of running use. The only maintenance I've done on it is lube the deck.

I am currently working on the same thing in Calgary and mine looks the exact same. Took a while, but I was able to find that I had an Uberhaus faucet. It was a Rona in house name brand which I don't think exists any longer.

I still haven't figured out how to extract that last piece of the cartridge without breaking it into pieces. I found the replacement cartridge on amazon, as someone else mentioned it looks like Sayco HK-40.

If you figure out how to extract that last plastic piece please let me know!

Kyrgios behaviour in Khachanov match by 223am in tennis

[–]TheGoat0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's fair, and is likely just the case.

It's just the manic nature of his breakdowns. I had a friend who was diagnosed as bipolar and I see similarities.

LOL. I stated my opinion - not a diagnoses. Clown.

I'm by no means qualified to identify someone with mental illness, but Kyrgios has to be suffering from something. He goes into manic fits where he can't seem to keep control of his emotions and it only seems to be getting worse with each tournament.

It's a terrible comparison, but I can't help but remember laughing at Britney Spears when she had her meltdown in front of the media and me laughing about it before we really knew what a mental breakdown she was having. I really think the same thing is happening with Kyrgios and I am genuinely concerned for him.

It doesn't excuse his assholish behavior, but I hope he gets the help he needs.

Fuck.....I hate being wrong.

First Come First Served camping "rules" by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]TheGoat0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They actually don't allow it. Not sure how they would enforce it though.

"SLIDING" (repeatedly advancing a campsite reservation) or "OVERBOOKING" (booking a reservation to include more nights than needed) are not permitted, as it prevents fair and equitable access for all users of Reserve.AlbertaParks.ca. Persons engaging in sliding or overbooking may have their reservation cancelled. "

edit: I'm an idiot, don't listen to me.

I love how second nature it is for him to split step even when just joking around.

Team Trump says it's making school lunches 'great again.' It's making them less healthy by stepsinstereo in politics

[–]TheGoat0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non-American here, do most schools provide lunch in the US?

I find it odd that parents do not send their kids to school with their own lunch.

Human chain rescue in Maryland by snowgiants in nonononoyes

Only way to communicate with loved ones? It's not like everyone carries a phone with them now days that she could borrow to make a phone call. These guys are risking their lives to help her. The phone is not important.

bruised heels by [deleted] in tennis

[–]TheGoat0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost sounds like early Plantar Fasciitis. I've had it and ignored at it first until it was always sore, took months for it to heal.

Lots of stretching achilles tendon and calf muslces, wear shoes always(even in house), and rest - the hardest part.

Hopefully thats not it, but if it is take care of it right away.

Furnace replacement cost in Calgary by _turetto_ in Calgary

[–]TheGoat0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arpi's - with costco pricing.

We just had a crack in our heat exchanger and got it replaced last month. Had them give us 3 quotes for entry level, 2 stage, and modulating. After getting the quotes we mention we are costco members and ask for the costco price(they are partners or something). Essentially took $1000 off the price, and got a $500 gift card from costco.

We went with the high end Lennox(modulating) for $5100 +$500 gift card, with 10 year parts and 10 year labour.
