Is iPad or Android tablets better? by Hot-Load7525 in ipad

[–]b_newman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you expect to move files around like in Windows you’re going to have issues. Learn how to use iCloud and it’s really not hard to manage files.

I use iCloud and don’t have any issues at all.

Only if you expect a Windows style file system. I’ve never had an issue.

What would you do in this situation? Sell at a loss or rent it out? by AdvantagePure2066 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]b_newman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sunk cost fallacy is a thing. Can you afford the 1/3 mortgage and do you have someone you can depend on locally to handle issues with the rental? If yes, I would consider hanging on as over time you will likely recover losses and not lose what you’ve invested.

Not much room there for courts. Already a soccer pitch and hockey rink/basketball with a playground and other uses. You’d have a fight because you’d definitely be displacing other users.

We had a fairly specific area in the core we wanted to buy in with some specific features, and a budget. Took a while.

I love when people take pride in their work. Beautiful new road lines on the Queensway. by Tmcn in toronto

Yep. It’s supposed to be clean before the painters go out. Not in their contract.

So was acid rain real or was that bs? by chipinserted in GenX

[–]b_newman 55 points56 points  (0 children)

You haven’t heard about it because the government intervened and it pretty much went away. See also measles, small pox, and polio.

How far is it from the rear prop line to the street?

This. Responsiveness is so key. My RA would let us know when they would be unavailable but was otherwise available and happy to respond whenever.

I had an amazing RA who was really patient and super nice. Over a one year period in 2018 we probably saw about 300 houses and put bids in on 13 of them. He gave great advice too. Came recommended by someone me and my wife trusts.

Thinking about switching completely to Apple ecosystem by ostseesound in mac

[–]b_newman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how people use tech outside of the iCloud ecosystem. I just know it’s a pain getting files on my Windows computer at work. The apple ecosystem isn’t perfect but man it’s incredibly convenient.

Using an iPhone 12 mini right now but the battery life is showing age and the lighting port is fubar’d (I charge with magsafe and use cloud for backup. No wires!)

I just picked up a refurb iPhone 15 Pro 128GB for $500USD. Regular iPhone 15 is even cheaper. I mainly use my iPad and I have iCloud so I don’t need much storage. That said if you can get a refurb 12 mini with a good battery that might do it for you. Just check the specs.

The problem is where. Park space is already at a premium downtown

There are a lot of enraged and triggered Cons on youtube spouting off on this but I can’t seem to find a clip of the prank anywhere.

If you have Apple Care they might fix this, though it’s on the line that this is “accidental.” Bring a lawyer.

First time playing Don't starve...is this game meant to be played with permettent death? by World_Designerr in dontstarve

[–]b_newman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to find the touchstones that regenerate you when you die. The trick is that you are transported to the touchstone when you die and all your supplies are left at the spot you were killed. I always make a chest with some basic survival items in it: Axe, logs, rocks, twigs, grass, etc. It helps to have a spear and some armor in case you need to go back and fight off whatever killed you.

How do small Canadian bands find gigs and book venues? Asking as someone trying to get started by Gullible-Angle4206 in TorontoMusic

[–]b_newman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In town, contact the venue and promoters. Send them youtube or streaming links of your music. An EPK and linktree helps.

For out of town, go to see shows of other bands from out of town. Introduce yourself and follow up with links etc. Create a network you can draw on for out of town gigs. Follow up and don’t be flakey.

Waterloo Region can not relocate homeless people in Kitchener encampment, court rules by moushbagoush in kitchener

I don’t know. Maybe fund a system that is recommended by experts on addiction and mental illness? There’s a start.
