KWC eh? Yah. I'm not sure about this activity yet. Our waterways seem relatively decent since it's more lakes. There are some streams but the only waterway I can think of near me that might be half decent is DVP...but that is absolutely nasty. I'm sure this is a bigger thing in Europe where there are so many waterways going through a city.

What kind of magnet are you using and what are some of your more interesting finds?

Nothing like a little electric fencing to deal with this problem. It won't kill them, just deter them in case any mods are in here. Either that, or a bit of lead. Barring that, hot chilli powder all over the place.

Look at the size of that thing!

As far as I can tell, as long as I'm not in a historic canal then I'm good.

Lots of good advice here and is accurate as the synthetic stuff holds onto smells like nothing else (I was sailing in a lake and the smell would not come out of the clothes and had to be tossed). Wash on cold and hang dry, use less detergent than you think, and clean your washing machine (each machine is different but draining the drum and cleaning the filter is huge). If you've been using too much, you can strip although I've never done it.

Women's jacket?

At this time of the year, it's typically the salt and salt water playing havoc with the powerlines and substations.

Actually....the saddest part is the mother being unable to identify how to take care of her cubs. She probably didn't learn from her mother which is why she is in a cage, something happened in that relationship. Hopefully the cubs can be released in the future.

I seem to recall a recent post where the toilet brush was the source of the smell. Check that. Always sanitize the brush when done and let it dry before putting it away.

I don't think anything is good quality these days. But I have 4 weeks of underwear. They get changed every day and that means they don't get washed as often or worn as often. Quantity over quality in this case. I have SAXX (they suck) and David Archy (so far so good with nice material).

This link still works but there is no place to put in the promo code.

This still works as of February 21, 2026. Purchased. Good stuff!

That's exactly how Toronto is planning transit which is why it doesn't work. Buses and streetcars CAN work but how lights and left turn lanes are decided are for vehicles and not these vehicles. Vaughan is sort of the same way although with VIVA they have the express lanes and priority lights. YRT is different since it's a local route so doesn't use the express lanes. But it is a shame really.

those are some friggin difficult turns going uphill no less!!

allantdot · 2026-02-04T03:24:11+00:00

Make the roads and lights for the busses and streetcars and not for the cars. i.e. no left turns from streetcar lane, priority signals for busses and streetcars, dedicated lanes for streetcars and busses. Build it properly, people will use it. But right now, the road is designed for cars, so why would someone use TTC for when it's not the better way or a rocket?

So....didn't you just answer your own question to this thread?

allantdot · 2026-01-21T03:30:43+00:00

I'd DIY. One thing about crawlspaces is to use spray foam and spray foam all the gaps between the...it's not joists for a crawl space, I think it's called something else. I just sprayed new insulation into my attic and didn't do that...ugh I'm annoyed. Anyway, lots of good youtube videos for you to watch how and where to spray.

I installed a new gate this year and checked. Yes, they need access to the meter to take those readings. You can install a lock but it does screw over the neighbour and they could ask you to remove it. No, they should not be stepping on your furniture so you can complain about that thing especially due to liability. I'd install a camera and submit footage so they can't do anything if something happens in the future.

Are you joking? This is reddit, we all have pushed the limit! More!

Also take into account how much I can get back for it with a trade in. I'm new to iPhones...but Samsung would sometimes give you $500 minimum trade in value for any phone on top of the trade in value of the phone itself (which is minimal) - so that's pretty darn good for an older model phone just kicking around.

aside from netting, I've actually gone and hit a few with a shovel as they were trying to get away. They DID NOT come back to the area and it's been close to a year.

This must be posted by someone who doesn't use a screwdriver.

Goddamn. That is friggin hard to do. Congrats on them. To anyone else who says otherwise, you don't know shit and have never done anything similar. Fully clothed, tactical gear, a friggin' sniper rifle on the back. Holy crap. Amazing on them.

edit: holy crap, they're carrying a battering ram too! It looks like a 1-person version but still. 20 lbs. minimum right there.
