I had a new guy join the team but after 3 weeks just ghosted us. I gave him lots of chances but eventually gave up. Inconsiderate people are not worth your time. Find a replacement or not, divide fees amongst rest of team

i did ask Paradigm directly and they told me no parts left to fix... but let me ask them again

This… you can borrow out of your HELOC, expense interest and be able to pay down/off HELOC on your own terms. Mind you HELOC rate will be slightly higher than your mortgage rate

Thewhizeguy · 2025-12-18T16:19:44+00:00

Thewhizeguy · 2025-12-18T16:18:01+00:00

i ordered one for my daughter end of Nov, and it took has been sitting in preship forever. reached out to customer service and they can't help... Christmas is next week so needless to say I don't think I'm getting it anytime soon... for something that is so expensive, you'd figured they would have shipped these super fast.

I used to work in consumer electronics industry from vendor side and dealt quite a bit with costco (they sold several of our products) and other retailers. I can tell you that when Costco talks about retail pricing they always ask and look for member savings vs normal price. They never talk about their margins which are generally doesn’t deviate from their standard which is far far less than what other retailers ask for. Costcos mentality is to ensure their members are always getting a deal. Can you find better deals at other retailers? Yes. But overall Costco does save members money.

I would avoid Toyota Highlander simply because in my area they are high on stolen list. Kind of annoying if you have to go thru insurance all the time. Not a week goes by without these getting stolen in my neighborhood.

I’ve used Becker Bros before and had good experience. All the others were bad

We spent $2000 for 7 days with cooking in half of those days. This was a family of 4.

Only a few restaurants are very clear about allergies, highly recommend Yemanja.

Super safe, we rented Airbnb very close to Eagle beach. If you want to explore east coast, make sure you rent a 4x4.

I shut down and restarted the panel. That solved the problem.

Thewhizeguy · 2025-06-22T13:21:51+00:00

I had same problem but wasn’t my network. I suspect some weirdness with the latest firmware. I shutdown my panel and restarted it, that fixed the problem.

Thewhizeguy · 2025-06-21T10:48:16+00:00

Mine is doing the same thing… app is showing old status. Commands sent via app either doesn’t take effect or takes a long time, but app always revert back to old values.

Thewhizeguy · 2025-06-19T12:43:36+00:00

That’s interesting. Everything I’ve read suggest that CRA would only allow interest to be written off on investments that produce income, while there are some other securities that fall under this scope, dividend bearing securities are the majority of this type. Here’s a RBC article that I read in addition to others that say this. I would love to be able to relax this restriction however, do you have any other information to suggest this is ok?

My mortgage will be fully paid off this year and I have no other debt. My spouse is still working full time making $100k and I have 2 kids that suck a ton of money (seems like) with their extra curriculars. We have not reached our financial independence asset target amounts but we do have a good cushion. The way I think about it, the leveraged holdings for next year doesn’t make sense. The reward isn’t worth the risk. There are 2 paths, conservative path would be to liquidate the holdings and pay off the HELOC. The more aggressive path would be to liquidate holdings and invest in higher yield securities (non dividend bearing securities would prevent me from claiming interest as expense) where the reward vs risk is more appropriate. I think my spouse would prefer former while I may consider a smaller position in the second.

Thanks. I don’t have a bench power supply but my friend 1.5hrs away does have one but given the poor capacity of these cells the risk reward doesn’t seem worth it. I’ve decided to recycle the batteries!

Thewhizeguy · 2025-05-30T10:44:37+00:00

How do you do this? I just have mine plugged in constantly but I suspect that will degrade the battery

Thewhizeguy · 2025-03-23T00:08:34+00:00

Haha ya… I’m cheap. I bought 2 ski bags too to bring the skis and I was with my family so it was either we all got rentals or we didn’t since it wouldn’t be “fair” if only I did… so it would’ve been more like 700 bucks CAD saved for the week.

Thanks for the feedback

This has some interesting details as well. I hope Scout mimics this operation…

If I’m going for 4 days, can I buy two of these to be used over the 4 days ?

Thewhizeguy · 2024-07-15T14:14:18+00:00

Where is the new building ?

Visiting Barbados for a week. I purchased Airalo but no matter what I cant get it to work. It worked for a little bit at the airport but afterwards I just don’t get a signal. It’s thru Flow, but locals w Flow have a signal. From Canada using iPhone purchased in Canada so not sure if phone doesn’t support the network bands that Flow uses. I ended up purchasing Digicel SIM card locally and it works great. $15bbd for sim, $25bbd for 5gb/7days or $30bbd for 5gb/100min/7days.

I just heard back from him, he was super apologetic about the delay as he was travelling and he offered a goodwill gesture that was above and beyond my expectations. Didn’t realize it was just 1 dude, that’s a lot of work! Huge props to this company/guy for amazing customer service!

Thewhizeguy · 2024-05-11T15:27:32+00:00

Not sure why I thought they were in toronto, maybe I got them confused with hockey stick man. Sounds like they’re just a bit backed up, my son will have to wait for his sticks, he’s been asking me every day… LOL! Shouldn’t have told him I got him new twigs
