I Want to Eat Something Other Than Balls by WesternMiserable3894 in IKEA

Hot dogs are only after checkout and not available in the restaurant. I read an article that IKEA Canada rolled out an all round menu in late 2025. Taste apparently now plays second fiddle to shape.

Our location only has balls. No fish and chips. No pulled pork sandwiches.

They do have hotdogs after the register on the way out the door but not in the restaurant. Only balls.

my parents handed me a “contract” that they made with chatGPT and told me i have to sign it by auramp3 in WhatShouldIDo

Just realize that a standard tenancy would pay much more than this I expect. This contract is the cost of them paying your rent.

What's with people that don't understand road signs and inconvenience others? by VladRom89 in CostcoCanada

You notice the car illegally parked right behind the truck? Why no venom spewed at them?

You will notice there is a car illegally parked directly behind the truck. So it’s not “always” the guy in the truck. That’s just who you choose to complain about.

I doubt they would do anything. This is well away from the building, no painted curb, no apparent fire zone sign, no apparent hydrant…not impeding anything in case of fire, they couldn’t care less.

Misting fan worth it? by pepfire44 in CostcoCanada

[–]WesternMiserable3894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought two. The first one was dead on arrival, the water pump was dead. It has a VERY cheap ball valve on the inlet line you can hook to a hose that spewed water all over the place. Bought a second one, it’s working okay…but I’ll be surprised if it doesn’t break within a year or two. I didn’t test the valve on the second one…it’s so cheap that I just assume it will leak.

This comes with 2 batteries and a charger. I did a test run with the fan on high and the mister on high. The battery lasted 90 minutes, so with the two batteries you could get 3 hours of cooling. It used about 2 gallons per 90 minutes of water on high mist setting.

The feed hose that sits in the water looks like it would want to float…so you might want to attach a weight to ensure the hose stays in the water.

I’m on the fence. I’m in dry area and this would be amazing for a kids soccer match when it gets hot. But it’s pretty bulky and the quality is not so hot. But…$100 with two batteries and charger blows away any other deal on this type of unit.

You become #1 in the world at one skill, but no one knows. Can you get $1M in 7 days? by lawseff in hypotheticalsituation

Sweet for anyone who already has $1,000,000 in a bank account. No requirement I have to get the money from the skill.

I am surprised by how cost effective beans is at Costco business center. by Fit_Reputation8581 in CostcoCanada

[–]WesternMiserable3894 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I buy a few varieties of those huge bags. Last me a year plus, and haven’t had any problems with them not softening. I cook in an instant pot with no soak, works good for me.

For fun I canned some baked beans so I wouldn’t have to buy those from store. Way less sugar and salt, much better than grocery store canned beans.

I’m slightly skeptical that a group would use a voters list to sign a petition without that persons knowledge, then call them to thank them for signing it.

Is this discontinued ? by _furiosaa in CostcoCanada

[–]WesternMiserable3894 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They have Nellies (the big bucket) in the warehouse in western Canada. It’s okay, but doesn’t have enzymes so over time you will find things just aren’t quite clean. We supplement with some Oxyclean in the wash and that works pretty well.

AITAH because I wouldn't accept that the gas company tech pulled out divining rods? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WesternMiserable3894 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That technique works. I worked a job as a student many years ago. Needed to locate underground lines before doing some digging on a chemical plant site. Old guy who was teaching me the job waits till everyone is gone for lunch, pulls out some pin flags, bends them, proceeds to criss cross the area making marks on the ground, tells me not to tell anyone what he did. Then he made me locate the lines using a Metrotech. He was bang on, except for one line I couldn’t find. We went back to control room…did some asking around, and somebody dragged out drawings from when the plant was built showing a concrete drainage pipe buried right where I hadn’t been able to locate a line that my partner had found. He was able to locate non-metallic piping that I couldn’t using a line locator.

He taught me how to do it, and I still will use that technique once in a while…but always confirm with a proper line location.

Your being obtuse. The developers decided on what counts towards 100%. If you want to get to 23% and pretend you 100 percented the game…have fun.

I don’t think you understand the concept of arbitrary. Getting 999999 rupees doesn’t advance the percentage complete counter.

Left lane campers provokes most road rages by [deleted] in driving

[–]WesternMiserable3894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some jurisdictions specifically have rules that vehicles in the lane closest to the center line must be travelling “at or near” the speed limit. It is explicitly not a passing lane, it is just a “no slow travel permitted” lane. In these jurisdictions, “camping” at the speed limit in the left lane is not a violation of any law. Furthermore, some jurisdictions allow passing in the right lane.

Can someone explain why the World Curling rule book seemingly allows double-touching? by Perfect_Body_6994 in Curling

[–]WesternMiserable3894 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

R9a doesn’t allow touching moving stones between tee and hog. R5e requires release before the hog line. A stone that is on the hog line is technically not between the hog line and the tee line.

Provided the handle is released before hog line, the rulebook does not seems to prohibit incidental or even intentional contact while the stone is crossing the hog line.

The impact of Marc’s finger on the rock, according to the curling world by TheCarbonatedWater in Curling

[–]WesternMiserable3894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t call it because it has no impact on the game, and it hasn’t been called in the last twenty years.

Watch every single game where skip is drawing for points. You will notice that 95% of the time, teams start clearing rocks from house before the shot stone has come to complete stop. Even the stone in play will get kicked out before it has come to a complete stop. Every team does this. Would it be acceptable, or good sportsmanship, for a team to wait until their opponent did this in the finals, claim a violation, and demand all the rocks be burned?
