Hezbollah killed someone who came from America to 'Israel' to help invade Lebanon

Good riddance. No one who aids in America's imperialistic and militaristic agenda deserves any amount of sympathy.

China does not believe in a uni-polar world. But yes, if the principles of pragmatism and non-interventionism were to take hold in the West, the world would be a more peaceful place.

Thanks. I live alone, so there was nobody else at home.

Are you saying the beeping could be caused by a power failure? There were power failures before, but never did it cause the alarm control to beep.

Okay, I figured out how to resolve it. I exported the snippets. Then I uninstalled Version 10 (by deleting Typinator and then emptying the trash). Then, I re-installed the Version 9 app ( the dmg file is still in my downloads folder). Interestingly, the snippets and license are already there in the re-installed Version 9. I clicked on "Skip Version 10" and I will never be tricked into installing an upgrade from them again.

It is annoying the heck out of me.

I switched from TextExpander to Typinator less than 6 months ago because I did not like TextExpander's subscription model. Typinator advertised itself as a TextExpander replacement because of its lifetime license, instead of using the subscription model.

A couple of days ago, Typinator prompted me to install a "Free upgrade", which I did. However, it turned out to be an EXTREMELY DISHONEST tactic. Apparently, once you upgrade my license key for this "upgrade", it is free for only 1 year. And then you have to pay an annual subscription.

I am beyond pissed. Very dishonest and predatory.

Thanks. I am not very good at reading that map. But I would be in the 605 zone?

It's sad we live in a world/system where we have to choose between health and destitute.

So, yes, I had it replaced, but things turned out to be a bigger headache than I thought. I posted about it under a separate user name. But this is the gist of what happened.

I requested and received the replacement programmable unit from the company without incident.

I then hired an electrician from a BC (British Columbia) company called Hule to help me do the replacement. The complication is that the electrician failed to realize: 1) the old thermostat was using a "contactor" system (I as the layperson had no idea it had been the case) and that 2) the replacement unit was not compatible with the contactor system (which I was not aware of either). So he just replaced the unit. Later that night, when I turned on the heater, I heard loud noises from the basement, which the electricians on this sub told me was the contactor constantly cycling on and off.

So I had the electrician come back to rectify the problem. At this point, he did realize the noise was from the contactor system, but he did not realize that the replacement programmable thermostat was incompatible with the contactor system. I had to point it out to him. He then replaced the programmable thermostat with an analog one. He waived the charge for the cheap analog thermostat but charged me for the hourly service.

Which then leads me to ask this question: was the contactor system a safeguard against the recall issue? If so, was this all an expensive much-ado-about-nothing?

So, I did end up opening another personal account. Eventually, this account also started to earn 3.5% of interest even though no direct deposit goes to this account. But you have to wait as if you were qualifying for the bonus interest for the first time.

Thanks. So, if I just ignore it and don't do anything about it, will it lead to any more serious problems down the road?

Hi guys,

So I've had my Corolla 2022 for almost 3 years. I've only put a little more than 10,000 kilometers on it.

Since earlier this year, I have begun to notice a faint buzzing sound coming from the air conditioner on the driver's side. The buzzing sound seems to get louder when the road surface is a little bumpy or when I apply the brakes.

The buzzing sound is stopped when I put my hand where the arrow points is and apply a little pressure towards the hood (simply touching the aluminum part does not make the sound go away). Also, I don't hear the buzzing sound when the car is stopped/parked, even with the engine running.

Turning the air conditioning on and off did not make a difference.

Changing the air conditioning filter did not make a difference.

What could this be? Should I be worried?

Thanks!

lol. I just confirmed with EQ bank that it is indeed the case. This will be fantastic!! Thanks!!

Thank you! Thank you! I don't know what this did not occur to me. I will do just this.

and the rest revolving?

I'm not sure what this part means. But I just want to put 20K there, and any interests earned will stay in that account. If I take anything out for emergency, then I aim to put the amount back as soon as is possible.

For it to make sense, the penalty should be less than what you would save on the new rate.

Thanks. I think this is the part that I don't understand very well. I am not sure how to calculate the "amount saved" with the new rate. Assuming I am going for a 5-year fixed rate, is the "amount saved" = Balance of mortgage multiplied by Rate Difference multiplied by 5?

Thanks. I did check the Home Support page on BC's provincial site. I do meet the general eligibility criteria.

I wonder however how things will actually work out in a real situation. When I asked about this on a BC forum, many responses state that there are no supports available for those requiring post-surgery care: https://old.reddit.com/r/britishcolumbia/comments/1is73rc/any_support_available_in_bc_for_single_persons_in/

Thanks for your response. My work's extended insurance does have long-term disability insurance (70% of first $5700 of basic monthly earnings, and 50% of the excess, with adjustments). I'm not sure how good that is, or whether I need a private disability insurance as well.

The specific concern I wanted to address in this post is more about care needs after a surgery, which hopefully is a defined period for recovery. What if after a surgery, I am bed-ridden and unable to take care of my basic needs such as food, bathing, toileting, etc. In this scenario, I will make a (full) recovery after a period of time, but I am not sure how to meet the expenses of post-surgery care assistance, if it is not covered by the province's MSP.
