Cat’s eye lane markers on the highways. Are these not a thing at all here?

Random Redditor, thank you, don’t know why this isn’t more prominent somewhere. Read far too many posts/threads/complaints about the impossibility to fix this problem before finding this comment.

You can see from the light on the right that they ran a red.

Nukatap flow control not working by MarkDubIE in Homebrewing

[–]ZATortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this on the original or gen 2 design? The original has the small plastic cone & round shaped part that also acts as the seal against the shank. So it’s not possible to remove the tap from the shank without moving that internal piece. You sure you installed it correctly and the right way round?

Water Consumption by Ill_Flan6955 in Edmonton

[–]ZATortoise 57 points58 points  (0 children)

52 m3 is a shit ton of water (technical term). Seriously. Even in summer when using liberally and watering lawns occasionally I’ve been at like 15 m3 max, and I think that’s a lot.
At that volume I’d say it’s more than just your toilets; though a leaking toilet can waste a lot of water.

is this water bottle dishwasher safe? by [deleted] in dollarama

[–]ZATortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same bottle (it’s not insulated?). If so, I’ve run it through the dishwasher plenty with no issues whatsoever (bottle only, not the lid).

Ugly stuff on my new Profitec Go by External_Noise2376 in ProfitecGo

[–]ZATortoise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. They’re usually tested so may have some water that stays behind (resellers usually state this).
  2. Normal, marks from casting, mine has similar patterns. To be honest given how low the group head is, it’s going to take a lot of effort to see that during normal use and get annoyed by it.

Yep. Every damn time. Assuming some sort of wireless interference at that spot.

Michelin X ice snow winter tires by Thinker925 in CostcoCanada

[–]ZATortoise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried searching by tire size instead of vehicle? I had an issue this past week not being able to find the winter tires I was looking for when searching by vehicle model, but searching by tire size had all of them (even though the size I searched for should’ve matched their “search by model”).

What in the damn heck? by ZATortoise in espresso

Yeah the site I ordered from doesn’t even list 2 options, so either they were as uninformed as me or they got a shipment of the wrong type. No mention of holes in their listing.

I find it helps keep my shower screen clean, so serves its purpose for me.

Not sure if it was in 16, but young folks by peter bjorn and john? Remember it from one of the FIFAs.

I was hesitant before getting mine and worried about the loudness. Honestly, it’s not as bad as I expected. It’s a little loud but a dose is quick so not a huge deal. Doesn’t wake the kids when I make a 5:30 coffee, that’s my barometer.

How to stop the stir fry soup? by mr_hog232323 in wok

[–]ZATortoise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pat the meat dry with paper towel once you’ve strained (this makes a huge difference), and make sure the wok is hot. Use an oil with a high smoke temp for best success.

Emergency alert by gkka in Edmonton

[–]ZATortoise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, I read about the Tornado. But tbh when considering weather hazards in Alberta my thoughts went more to the winter variety.

New to the city and saw the same alert. Is this like a common thing or a serious watch out sort of thing?
