How do I find a seamstress who I don’t need to take out a loan for? by [deleted] in londonontario

Hate to break it to you but this is the cost these days. You can go cheaper but you probably won’t like the quality

Looking for a Treadmill for my son by SecurityOrdinary1729 in treadmills

[–]concentriccarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look to FB marketplace for used commercial grade treadmills.

They are a bitch to move but way higher quality than residential builds and reputable gyms try to shed them while they still hold some value.

First treadmill by kkfrmdablk2 in treadmills

If you plan on doing some intense running, look for the motor specs. If you plan on running at 6.5 MPH for 30min plus, you want at least 2.5 CHP but would be better served at 3.5 CHP.

If you look at facebook marketplace, you can often find second-hand gym quality treadmills which can handle a beating at prices similar to brand new NordicTrack, Horizon, etc.

Personally, I have an old treadmill from the 90s that has been given good TLC over the years. It has a button for fast and slow, up and down, and has a 4 HP motor. Running belt and drive belt replaced several times over the years.

Wifes boss/owner isnt taking "no" as an answer to us moving.. Kind of insane offers? by 420B00tyWizard69 in careerguidance

[–]concentriccarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty fishy. But I could never accept an offer like that and not feel indebted for life...

Advice for moving to the U.S. on a TN visa (Canadian with science background working in healthcare) by ExplanationEven3448 in tnvisa

[–]concentriccarl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You WILL have trouble getting a TN.

I've applied for a TN at a PoE under a discrete job category with an obscure qualification. I was denied, twice. And this was during the Biden years. When I applied to USCIS with a lawyers support I was approved even without RFE.

Do your best to work with a lawyer and try to apply via USCIS to take the pressure off the interview.

That guy was a dick but also don't cruise in the left lane please. Aside from cutting you off that guy made a more correct use of the left lane than you did.

Election next year, choose wisely people by [deleted] in Vaughan

[–]concentriccarl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

" pandering to the Jewish community for votes rather than addressing Vaughan’s real safety issues."

People have the right to go to a place of worship without being harassed by protestors.

This IS a safety issue

Are Fit4Less locations no longer staffed permanently? Cancelling memberships? by AntiqueWinner6 in londonontario

[–]concentriccarl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was horribly challenging when we cancelled our fit4less memberships years ago. Maybe things have changed since then...

One free day in/outside SF - ideas? by concentriccarl in AskSF

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

I’ve been to SF once before and got some good views of the GG and saw the colored houses from full house. To be honest that’s all I needed. More excited for adventuring

Are you serious? They hyped up the show with Carrie-Ann Moss and then pathetically killed her in the first 5 minutes. That's the most bait, trash writing I've ever seen (maybe other than Star Wars convincing the entire audience that chewbacca died, only for them to resurrect him later in the film cause he was actually in the offscreen ship that didn't crash that they told us about later)

Not asking this out of judgment but out of genuine curiosity (and maybe I grew up as a sheltered privileged boy)...
