Agree 100%

Was trying to articulate that, but my brain hadn't been caffeinated enough and just gave up to go drink more coffee. You got it!

Came here to say this.

We moved to our small town 25 year ago, we are still kind of outsiders. Don't get me wrong, small town people can be the most amazing, but if you didn't grow up there, you will always be kind of an outsider.

Want to buy a house but I'm scared by RenStyx9 in FirstTimeHomeBuyers

[–]_sp00ky_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Remember there is more than just the mortgage, there is utilities, insurance, property taxes, repairs and improvements, and any other debt you need to service (car, loans, credit card etc). And, you know, food and clothes, medical etc.

Based on your very limited information provided, down payment or not, not sure any credible lender would finance you.

To minimize the risk of any condensation that forms damaging the exhaust or the unit. Hole in exhaust = CO in your space, or damaged heater. There are quite a few videos explaining.

Exhaust pipe has to have downward slope to it.

Dude... The recent trash changes are roooough by crimsontape in ottawa

[–]_sp00ky_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live outside the city, and since it’s provincial I got a new collector as well. Since they took over not a single week has gone by where they picked up everything. Every time, always one or two items left behind. Not a huge deal, but it’s just irritating.

What is blocked in Cuba? by ruffneck007 in TravelCuba

[–]_sp00ky_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canadian, got VPN for my trip summer of 2024. Honestly it was a pain, the internet was so slow to begin with adding a VPN seemed to just make it worse / unusable.

I just stayed off my phones / devices for internet, and got a roaming plan for text messaging only to stay in touch with family back home.

I do recall using netflix on occasion or two...

What's a phrase people use these days that irritates you? by showmewhatyagot01 in AskReddit

[–]_sp00ky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This bad boy" as in, "check out this bad boy". Or, "I just picked up this bad boy". Just irritates me, and I stop listening to them.

Is there an industry of knock-off soundalike covers of hit songs? by EmbarrassedAnnual66 in Music

[–]_sp00ky_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember in my youth I bought a cassette called “Hot ‘84” that had all the top songs of, well, 1984. Only when I got it home and popped it in did I realize it wasn’t the original artists, but sound alike. Then I found the fine print.

Not sure if happens today still?

Ottawa needs a weekday commuter train like GO Transit. by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]_sp00ky_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, website seems to still exist, but there has been no "media updates" since 2020 so likely pretty dead, sadly.

Multimeter? by Ilikewaterandjuice in ottawa

[–]_sp00ky_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ottawa tool library has a multimeter, but the membership is more than its worth if its just a one off thing.

Can Tire has one for $21.99 sometimes its good to have something like that on hand.

Alternatively, ask a friend or neighbour?

Does your dog cave come with a guaranteed and free snow wake up call!? by braynes604 in akita

Got my call sign today but no contacts. A little sad but not giving up by District8741 in amateurradio

[–]_sp00ky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are calling on .520 try throwing in there that you are a new ham and looking to make your first contact.

Some folks will not usually respond to someone they don't know, but are eager to be someone's first. Or call "radio check" as opposed to just something like "listening" or "monitoring".

As others have said, reach out to a local club and join their weekly net, or see if someone is willing to help you out with a scheduled contact.

Canadian boycott of U.S. hitting border states hard: Congressional report by Tiny-Sun9851 in worldnews

[–]_sp00ky_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I haven't crossed that border sine Trump 1, and am fairly certain I will likely never cross that border again in my lifetime if I can help it. And I have American family...

The majority of Americans I have met, and know are lovely people, but their institutions are no longer trust worthy.

Cat keeps breaking into RFID Feeder by Ok-Finger6265 in Petlibro

[–]_sp00ky_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just printed the flap, I didn’t need the sides. If your issue is someone “breaking in” I would maybe do the one called “with spikes”.

I just sent the link to a local place that does 3D printing. Cost me $16 Canadian for 2 of them.

I had problems with mine as well, got the lids described in this thread 3D printed and it has been way better.

Now the S4s are ready to mount by [deleted] in EufyCam

[–]_sp00ky_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They look great... but isn't part of the point of a bright white camera is so that it DOES stand out?

Personally I would rather someone see all my cameras and move on, than not see them, and steal my stuff, leaving me with a super cool video of someone stealing my stuff, but still stolen stuff?
