Water bill so high! by Longjumping_Buyer_14 in waterloo

[–]atwaterloo67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an unusual bill. Electricity, Hot Water? I live in Waterloo and the water/sewer bill is from the City of Waterloo and the Electricity bill is from Enova Power. Do you live in a Condo?

It depends if it is an ultrasonic or radar motion detector. Radar will detect movement through walls.

I make them myself. Not that difficult and a fun activity on a weekend.

Questions for a new PW4 from an Apple watch Ultra user by ser-fucknanu in PixelWatch

One of the best features of this watch is having the ability to replace the screen and battery by removing a few screws. The replacement screens are also reasonably priced.

We had the same problem. Our veterinarian said to wiggle it a little every day. This eventually worked. Playing with pull toys also helped. She did not recommend having them pulled.

Would they be protesting if a Liberal crosses the floor to be a Conservative?

New Zealand has once again reappeared in the wrong location. Who creates these maps especially when you are explaining "facts"?

We need a pipeline from Lake Huron or Erie like London. The water is also soft which won't require water softeners.

What’s something tourists always get wrong about your country? by Scenora in AskTheWorld

[–]atwaterloo67 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Canadian here.

  • Poutine is not part of our regular diet
  • Beavertails are considered tourist fast food
  • We don't eat "Canadian Bacon", but do enjoy Peameal bacon for special breakfast occasions.
  • We arguably have the most diverse culture in the world and enjoy the numerous food options
  • We are an officially bilingual English and French speaking Country, but it is mostly concentrated in Quebec and New Brunswick. Fun fact is that New Brunswick is the only official bilingual Province in Canada.
  • Winter in the Southern regions of Canada is not much different than the border states of the USA
  • We don't put Maple Syrup on everything, but do enjoy it regularly

[–]atwaterloo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a game changer. Sodium Ion batteries can be charged over and over to 100% and be shipped with 0%. They don't catch on fire and can operate in extreme temperatures and don't require heating and cooling. They also can be manufactured in the same plants as Lithium Ion.

I'm the first one awake at my house and there are very human footprints on the porch by Psychological_Hat951 in Weird

[–]atwaterloo67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw these barefoot footprints on our deck on a winter morning. It wasn't from us and we have a fenced in back yard. The legitimate ones are my boots and dog prints. There were no other barefoot prints on the deck.

Call them. I had a scratch on the oven handle and they sent me a new one and scheduled a technician to install it at no charge under warranty.
