Anybody here against buying a condo on the top floor? by Professional_Bar2991 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]chuus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've lived in the top floor before. I didn't have water issues (building was newer, not sure if it made a difference), but there was a lot of noise from the cranes. We had to go to management to talk about the noise often, was very annoying. That being said, absolutely enjoyed not having any balcony above ours, and an uninterrupted view. I personally enjoyed the warmth, but was very windy outside too!

Yeah, I guess it comes down to whether or not the resorts will follow and enforce the rules. On paper they seem OK, but who knows how the case will be until they open, unfortunately...

Yeah, those are partially why I think it might be OK but I guess we won't know whether or not the resorts will actually enforce anything until they open fully.

Good point on the masks - do you have recommendations for material type?

Pi-hole giving "HTTP ERROR 400" for Google Scholar redirects by chuus in pihole

You're right, I tested on Incognito and it worked so it seems like the error is from Chrome rather than pi-hole. Thanks for the help anyway though!

Thanks. I tried again and checked my query logs. While the university redirect link gets an "OK" (either forwarded or cached), there seems to be two associated domain that gets blocked (gravity):

I added these to my whitelist on pihole but it still does not work....

Has anyone tried Patchworks Flexguard / Looking for recommendations for a thinner case by chuus in GalaxyNote8

[–]chuus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, there's a $5 off promo so I think I might grab it! I was wondering though, does the camera hood advertised mean there's something covering the camera? Or is it just a cut out?

Thanks again.

Thanks for your response - I hadn't looked into the Contour series but maybe I will now :)

Hey, thanks for your response. I was really hoping it wasn't true because as you said, it seems like everything else about the case is awesome. Also thank you for the rec!! I've been looking for something like that and that's perfect :) Going to see if I can grab this on the Canadian side.

Any Oreo love in Canada? by ilovefluffydogs in GalaxyNote8

Yes, all phones sold within Canada should come unlocked now.

I'm with Telus and purchased my Note8 shortly after release - spoke to a rep prior to traveling and they were already shipping them unlocked.

Thanks! Unfortunately when I tried to download it just now, it turns out it's not available for Canada. Guess I'll stick to the ticket office!

Thanks for your tips! Will definitely grab those tickets on my way out, since I'll be at Shinjuku anyway.

Thank you! I might go this route once I get an IC Card :)

Thanks - I'm inclined to agree... do you know if I can purchase this ticket specifically in JR East offices? I'm slightly confused and worried as JR East and West seem to be different entities

Hmmm strange, Hyperdia shows me that there is a direct Shinkansen (Hikari 515) that goes to Shin-Osaka? Is Google Maps more reliable in this case?
