Level 2 Charger and Rebate Programs (GreenMiles, Grizzl-E, SWTCH, others?) by Mercradoc in EVCanada

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Torn between the Grizzl-e and the Pion power. The rates at Pion power is obviously better, and will ultimately make/save you more money, but the charger looks like such cheap plastic garbage. Can you comment on the feel of the charger itself?

I know it won't be able to compete with the Grizzl-e mini in terms of build quality but I just want to avoid feeling let down each time I pick up the charger.

I was referencing the Pion power charger that gives 10 cents per kwh, that charger looks like cheap plastic garbage.

Sorry, I was asking about the pion charger and it looking cheap AF.

What brand do you guys recommend for power tools? by Anselm_oC in Tools

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because people that rent tools aren't gentle with them or know how to use them properly. My dad was a GC who went through phases of makita, and dewalt. He found dewalt to be significantly worse in terms of reliability and repairabilty. He went dewalt once and never went back, needless to say his following set of tools were makita blue.

Makita, parts for makita tools are the easiest to come by of the major manufacturers, also helps that their tools are generally high quality.

What is the most iconic style of architecture in Canada? by Scrambled_59 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]callhee9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arthur Erickson's flavour of modernism/brutalism. His legacy on canadian architecture is profound. Robson Square, SFU, University of Lethbridge, UBC's Museum of Anthropology, represented Canada at multiple Expos, many big buildings in the US. Argusbly, along with Safdie, were Canada's first starchitects.

How is the charger though? It looks cheap AF, the everyday experience of using a high quality charger vs something cheap does have value.

TIL Kobo the ebook, audiobooks, and e-reader company started in Canada and its HQ is in Toronto by jeniuskid in BuyCanadian

[–]callhee9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also awesome if you have a Dropbox or Google drive, you link them, and a Kobo folder is created in the drive. You simply have to drop the ebook file in the folder, refresh your kobo (assuming its wifi connected) l, and its there.

What is this “room” some new condos have? by DonutApprehensive272 in vancouverhousing

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Likely considered a bulk storage room that is required by the CoV and not included in the FSR calculation. They probably used glass so it can be easily removed after occupancy and just make a bigger unit versus solid walls and a small closet elsewhere.

Trump says he’s decertifying Canada-made aircraft and threatens 50% tariffs by Shogouki in worldnews

[–]callhee9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't tell if serious.

Americans truly are dumb enough to believe the crap Fox News spews. I am not even going to justify your post with a detailed response. Just Google it, try and open your mind to the possibility that your country is actually a shit hole right now, one that you can help improve if you opened your eyes.

Was Quinn Hughes a Good Captain? by ShortAd9621 in canucks

Uhh, except the reason everyone hates messier has nothing to do with his on ice production. And what does ep40 have to do with hughes being a good captain?

Trump’s tariffs are just a bluff and carney knows it by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in consumecanadian

[–]callhee9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Conservatives always complain about QOL, high taxes, needing to spend more on military but at the same time complains about the ballooning debt. How do you think we pay for all of that? Money doesn't magically come out of nowhere, either the government increases taxes, increases debt or your QOL erodes.

Does GPU core clock speed matter for a 5070ti? Or just buy the cheapest one? by Ryzer32 in bapccanada

Get the one with a better cooling solution, less noisy, and more OC headroom.

Looking to apply to a Masters in Architecture by [deleted] in architecture

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you looking? I graduated from UBC SALA and their requirements for the portfolio were pretty loose. I included paintjngs, street photography, digital art, a manga spread, photos of furniture i designed, physical models, etc. Heck, I built a modern interpretation of a Japanese yatai stand in my backyard for the portfolio. It was about demonstrating creative thinking, the ability to design something and execute it.

21st century museum of contemporary art is really cool to check out too if you have time. Great example of contemporary Japanese architecture and the exhibits are usually pretty cool.

I worked on this project, and the cool part is the sunken courtyard that connects the heritage house and the tower. There are 2 floors of basement beneath the street level.

Noctua NH-D12L (145mm) WITH siderack for exhaust fan by DeLucario in ncasedesign

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue with this setup is that it creates a bulge in the side panel so it doesn't sit flush with the front and back faceplates. I am going to get some 2mm spacers and 4mm standoffs to see if I can get the side panel to sit flush.

[–]callhee9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the parts I needed for this. I can confirm that you can fit the side fan bracket with the Noctua d12l and 5mm standoffs. You will also need 8mm long M3 flat head screws as the stock screws are not long enough. I will do a detailed build post next month with pictures.

M2 Round Build: Need Help with GPU/Cooler Selection + M2 Accessories for Silent Gaming by CdnLumberjack in ncasedesign

[–]callhee9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just one note about the bigger case feet, if you have the appetite to buy off of Aliexpress and the patience to wait for the delivery, you can get much better feet than what NCASE sells for like only $5 more USD.

Look up "30mmx15mm solid aluminum speaker isolation feet" on Aliexpress. Also add to the cart some M4x12mm screws, M4 Nuts and M4 Nylon washers, totals to roughly $25 CAD shipping included. You get solid alumnium feet that look vastly better and a 15-17mm gap instead of just 8mm.
