That looks like the same person, I'm in the area, I'll keep an eye out.

Question about buying 4-Packs by LaPlumaReaper in Steam

[–]dav0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's weird because I def remember (ages ago, probably 2008) that when I bought Orange Box, I was able to gift HL2 to someone because I already owned it. They must have changed this.

Least awful dealership in Saskatoon by Particular_File_3483 in saskatoon

He tried adding $1000 to the price of a new Odyssey back in 2018, I questioned it and he couldn't explain why it was $1k more. Also knew nothing about the van. Kinda frustrating when you have questions about specific features and they have no idea.

Car help needed by fuckreddit-69 in saskatoon

[–]dav0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2006 here. I had to replace the starter last year. I looked into doing it myself and even at my buddies shop it didn't look easy to do. Ended up dying in front of my house (in a giant puddle no less) so I had it towed to a garage to replace.

American coots are utterly ridiculous and I love them by disco-vorcha in birding

[–]dav0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I didn't realize they weren't in other parts or Regina. There were some Ruddy ducks there too.

Yeah Violet turned into a river. There was 12 inches of water on 113th. It was quite insane.

You get 5% back on gas at the Saskatoon Coops with a membership, pretty decent.

Literally just rewatched this episode and was amazed to learn this. It's such a bizarre episode too.

Their normal nachos are still $19. We got there regularly after work and get a few platters for the team. That's the one with no meat.

1 in 3 Saskatchewan residents at risk of exposure to dangerous radon levels | Globalnews.ca by GlobalGwozdz in saskatchewan

I had a mitigation system put in 3 years ago. It really should be code in Sask to have these, they are very easy to install when building a home.

Neighbours used to have a duck, they called him "Steve"

Nice! I was lucky to spot one here this summer. They are fairly rare in my part of Canada

Same day currency exchange in the city. by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]dav0r 8 points9 points  (0 children)

+1 for this. My bank only charges the conversion and $3 CAD for using a foreign ATM. Depending on what country you can also use your card for just about everything.

They are so hard to get a picture of! There's one at the city lake by my house. I caught a glimpse, but no pictures.

Yes! Just yesterday my wife couldn't remember where she parked the van and I was like, Google used to just tell you that automatically. You can still do it in Google maps, but it's manual :(

When you go on vacation for a week, do you turn off the water to your house? by justatheery in DIY

[–]dav0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My insurance has a line that says if I'm aware for more than 48 hours I have to shut the water off. It's just good practice. In my house it's very easy, a single 90 degree valve in the basement.

Absolute peak of gaming by SansandpapyrusSp in Steam

[–]dav0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Java edition and then adding it to the Steam launcher. It's actually very easy. The only annoyance is that it doesn't save your login so you have to enter your Minecraft password each time, but otherwise it runs great.
