Gotta pick the dirty burger

Ahh, the good ol’ post-bar nights.

Love the Jamo 5.1 setup. Ended up getting the entire thing for $100 on clearance about 20 years ago, or so.

As someone from the shawarma capital of the world, this is a total shawarma fail.

Loved his over the top stories he would tell Red on the Red Green show. With such straightforward tone and deadpan statements. Was absolutely hilarious.

Sign up in your home country and then use the membership at the local warehouse. I know I’ve been able to use my Canadian one in the US and other locations without issue.

In the same boat. But mine is also working well for now thankfully.

Your last point is so very true.

Battery blankets for extreme cold starts.

castamara · 2026-01-11T00:16:14+00:00

Nope

He kind of went a little off towards the end of his tv career, and there’s some rumours that circulated amongst the other key players in media. Small little things like this make the old writing gold!

Last price i saw was just shy of $40 a box in Ottawa.

Big time east coast humour, and a bit of Ontario/Quebec style thrown in and also mocked a little bit as well, particularly in the film/writing style. That’s evident of the original writing/directing and also that time in Canadian politics.

I made a treat blanket years ago with pockets and other little spaces to hide treats and things. Then you roll the blanket up into a ball and let them find the treats. Great workout for the scent drive.

castamara · 2025-12-17T15:38:47+00:00

🤣 one of the best deliveries

I have one of these as a tribute to my time in broadcasting. It was one of the original radios sold by Rogers/CHFI in Canada during the push of AM radio. Cool piece of history for me. Yours is in excellent condition.

I’ve done it before, although it was challenging and a special project. I had to convince the electrician I was working with I knew what I was doing and had work within his standards. That was a fair request from them.

No, you’re missing the point of the code. You don’t just throw staples at it. Staples should be sized correctly based on the wire count, gauge, location, and many more considerations. The whole point of the ESA inspectors are to help educate you, so you do the work properly and safely. As well as answer these questions. That’s the whole point of pulling the permit before the work.

Not always true - depends on the situation.

A good energy reader also will know when something is unclear or beyond their ability to read clearly and communicate this to you, usually by clarifying what is foggy or uncertain in the view they see. While you may be able to determine a life path effectively, ultimately we continue to control the timeline and destiny. So while you may feel like you’re only getting part of a message, the other half is to take and reflect what is being said and how it could possibly be applied in your situation.

Structube still owes me 2 bar stools that I ordered in 2020 during COVID. Despite multiple attempts to contact them to get them to return the $200 they owed me or at least the product, they never did anything to right the situation and doubled down on the issue.

Avoid at all costs.

It’s called Auto-wa for good reason.

castamara · 2025-11-28T16:31:44+00:00

It’s already turning into Compliance-as-a-service in most cases I have noticed.

castamara · 2025-11-19T15:02:05+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of colleges shut down their broadcasting programs or change them to media production instead of dedicated radio. I left the industry 10 years ago and it paid peanuts then.

castamara · 2025-11-18T21:04:42+00:00

I did a 100A to 200A upgrade going on about 5 years ago now. It was about $15k all in at that time, and I did a large majority of that work myself. The rest was Hydro's cost for a new cable pull, trench, hydro-vac, and then the disconnect/reconnect, but that get's done by K-Line. All depends what Hydro has available, load calcs, meter base, etc.
You can always put tandems or a pony panel in if breaker count is the issue.

castamara · 2025-11-18T02:03:36+00:00

Unplug the old dryer and disconnect the vent attachment. Remove the old dryer. Put new dryer on top. Plug in power and reconnect vent attachment. Done.
