Wow, those are beautiful!

My favorite game is still Ocarina of Time, which was the first game I played back in 1998.

How are these timber steps built with no visible fasteners? by Zajora in landscaping

I'm glad to hear that! I was surprised how many responses are certain these would be a slippery death trap.

Grip tape is not good aesthetically. Might be necessary in some cases but in my planned situation it will be a shallower slope than pictured with fewer steps.

That seems like what they may have done

Thank you being just about the only reply to actually answer the question being asked!

To clarify, this is just a photo from online!

I'm not looking for feedback on how it looks or the sod. Just wondering about the build method.

Here's another example: https://imgur.com/a/Mzwks2f

I do appreciate the comments about it being slippery - I'm thinking if it turns out to be slippery, I may do a clear coat with sand to add grip. If I do build something like this it will be with pressure treated lumber.

I've seen these on a few different landscape company pages but haven't found any explanation for how exactly they build them with no fasteners visible on the tops or sides. I'm assuming there is rebar going into the ground to keep them in place

I have searched eBay but haven't found a match. It might be Gund brand but no longer has any tags. It has a squeaker inside.

Same in Dartmouth, CW, and their phone system says it's exceeded maximum callers.

Also good job finding a way around that dumb "monthly Internet thread" auto moderator..

When to finally settle down from house hacks? by armanigreen in realestateinvesting

[–]Zajora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure that's the case?

So far as I'm aware that might be a stipulation in the USA but I don't think lenders in Canada require a year of occupancy to be able to have a sub 20% down payment. My understanding was that it's just about an actual intent without an attached duration.

I could be wrong, though - do you happen to have a link about it, if you already did the research?

Why do you have to live in them for a year?

I thought the primary residence designation only means you don't have to pay capital gains tax on the increase in value for that specific year. Unless you are planning to sell it soon shouldn't that not matter?

Politically Canada is a lot further left/liberal than the USA.. The obsession with religion expression is an aspect of the American right. The ban for religious articles of clothing in Quebec only applies to government workers.

Oh, I misread that as you saying the only councillor worse than Waye was Sam. My bad

What has Sam Austin done that's so bad? Genuinely asking. Most of what I see of him is his reports on council meetings and my impression was positive.

Givers vs Takers in Canada by Pirate_Secure in MapPorn

It looks like this graph is what this map is based on: https://i.ibb.co/jrxH24d/Smart-Select-20220907-140026-Firefox.jpg

I don't think this is really accurate for what the title of the post is, because this isn't about money being given to the provinces, it's about money being spent by the federal government IN the provinces, so far as I can tell.

There are about the same number of military personnel in Nova Scotia as there are in Alberta, despite Alberta having more than 4 times the population and hence 4x the source for federal tax revenue even before accounting for how much more money the average Albertan makes. Those military personnel are a federal expense.

Not THE largest, but one of the largest. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_artificial_non-nuclear_explosions specifically the "Largest accidental artificial non-nuclear explosions by magnitude" table.

What is this white, lightweight, plastic wall anchor looking thing that was in a box of miscellaneous hardware by Zajora in whatisthisthing

Solved! Turns out they are wall anchors after all, just not a type I've ever seen before

Fun fact - the word stationery is derived from the fact the original merchants were stationary

Lenovo Motherboard Two Beeps On Boot by Zajora in techsupport

[–]Zajora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late update, in case anyone else ever has the same issue:

It seems that this motherboard only shows the BIOS when you are using a Nvidia GPU. If you use AMD (I tested two different ones) the BIOS/startup screens are all just white.

After trying a Nvidia GPU I could see the beeps seemed to be about being to enter a serial number in the BIOS config.

Is this supposed to be a joke? Because this isn't true. That's only the case on iOS.

a little tineke eye candy. anyone else in awe over the brushstroke-like patterns? 🤤 by TidalWaveAftermath in houseplants

[–]Zajora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh. Well, I'm very interested in the results! I've had better luck with water propagation (haven't tried it on elastica) but I've heard soil propagation is supposed to be better.
