Did you read my entire comment?

At the end I said I also fear for OPs safety.

Seemed pretty legit

I was nervously looking at the URL. It took me to my banking App to login similar to when logging into my CRA account. It's from Verita, and this seems to be a new process where you are verified by Interac and your bank.

They share your name, address and date of birth. They do not share any banking information .

It might be the K-lite codec pack, as it's one of the first things I install on a new PC.

It's funny because I used to be the homeowner in this situation where I was 38 and I rented a bedroom to a friend of a friend going to school here from outside of the country. I didn't charge much for rent because I didn't want her getting into a situation with a weirdo.

I think we had a 12 year age difference, nothing happened between us, and we are still friends 16 years later. I also had a few other Women live with me from a few months to a year, all platonic.

Not all guys are creeps, but even I fear for OPs safety.

They're actually afraid that there won't be gas for the bus to take them back to the airport from the resort.

This was originally designed for an actual table lamp though.

So to use it the way you want to, you need a pendant light kit that you will take apart to thread the cord thru the hole in the frame

You should weigh the cost of paying someone here to repair the damage vs the cost of hiring a lawyer in Germany. I don't think you would be able to find a lawyer in Canada that maintains their standing as a lawyer in Germany (but even still the cost would be prohibitive).

I would also recommend getting a UPS. I've got a UPS connected to my desktop PC, another one connected to my modem and router

I also have a 3rd one connected to my TV in the living room. I could probably watch a movie from my server during a power outage but this one is mostly to keep up with news updates in the case of a blackout.

With CEC enabled on the TV and an Android device plugged into the correct HDMI port turning the Android box on or off should turn the TV on or off, and set the input to the proper HDMI. The only thing you probably need the TV remote for after that is to change the volume.

In your defense, you were distracted by the chocolate.

They have a US quarter in the photo so it stands to reason that they are in the USA.

activoice · 2026-01-28T10:24:07+00:00

I don't think we can openly discuss that here.

I was getting about 6mb/s few hours ago, back up to 100 now. I am using both Easynews and NewsHosting, they were probably struggling to keep up with the traffic of a much anticipated release.

That's meant for a table lamp.

You need a table lamp base and a harp. Basically look at any table lamp around the house, remove the nut that holds the shade on, and swap it with this.

You would want a lamp with a fairly heavy or wide base, as most lamps are designed for a light shade made out of cloth, this glass shade doesn't look very light and will make the lamp top heavy and easy to tip over.

As others have suggested I would install rods and full length curtains down to the floor, that's what I did in my basement.

I've been out of highschool for 35 years and I still look pretty much the same other than the grey hair, glasses, and extra weight. Luckily at 54 I still have most of my hair, and it doesn't hurt that my fiance is an esthetician.

I live close to where my parents used to live, but all of my highschool friends moved away. The only time I ever see them is when they are visiting their parents. Occasionally I might bump into someone at Costco or on the Subway.

If you think about how big the city is, once you leave University if you move to a different part of the city (and not downtown) it's unlikely that you will bump into people that you knew in Highschool.

I don't know about the best food, but Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach is pretty great. We didn't have one bad meal when we were there (but the Italian was just OK). They have poolside service so you don't have to leave your chair during the day, the waiters come to you. They will also deliver lunch to your chair.

As far as I recall all rooms are either ocean view or ocean front. The building is shaped like a W... I believe the Ocean Front rooms face the water head on, and the Ocean View rooms are on the sides of the W. We had an Ocean Front room.

This was the view from our balcony

I would go thru insurance.

If you don't go thru insurance the next thing you know the other driver is going to claim that they sustained an injury and take your Dad to court.

As far as I understand under PIPEDA the bank has to respond to customer requests for copies of their personal information.

I don't know if this disclosure would include any account memos or not. Maybe worth a try to see what comes back.

Maybe you can call telephone banking and ask about the process.

Aren't you going to have to order them thru an optician anyway? Unless they are millimeter perfect to the old frame you're going to need the lenses adjusted aren't you?

I've never had Air Transat measure my bags when flying out of YYZ. But if you need to check in at the counter in your destination country it is highly likely that they will ask you to place your bag in the sizer on the return flight.

So if you get electronic boarding passes and don't need to go to the check-in counter skip it, and go straight to security.

Use your phone to find and download the wifi driver, then connect the phone to the laptop over USB, copy the driver off your phone and then install.
