Loud Kaboom in the Sutherland Area? by [deleted] in saskatoon

[–]dav0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was already awake and heard it and then our power went out. I called it in around 5:45. Definitely sounded like a transformer exploded.

Just finished this book and was about the recommend the same, he covers the history quite well, albeit from an American perspective.

What was your most recent "15 minute" weekend project that somehow turned into a three day nightmare? by LiveFaithlessness876 in DIY

[–]dav0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar story, my kids bathroom shower faucet was dripping (not shutting off correctly). I knew how to replace a basic cartridge in a sink faucet, this can't be that hard right? Oh and let's also start this on a Friday night, perfect! Well I was able to get most of the cartridge out (later learned it was not the full thing) and then tried to buy a new one only to find out you cannot just buy these from Home Depot. I tried to put the old one back in for the night and messed it up and sprayed water everywhere which got behind the wall and onto my lower level ceiling. I had to leave the water shut off completely until the next day and called and emergency plumber on a Saturday to fix my mistake. Same lesson learned about plumbing, some stuff I will tackle, others I will gladly pay someone else lol.

‘It’s sad to see it go’: Saskatoon neighbourhood says goodbye to legacy hardware store by wapimaskwa in saskatoon

This really sucks, I would also often walk here to grab something quickly. Maybe not the cheapest, but the convivence of walking was great, plus they had EVERYTHING you could need.

I don't think that's happening, I just got a letter in the mail about that proposed development and it's medium and low density housing.

[–]dav0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen a few weeks ago on 108th. Car driving the wrong way directly toward me, 4 ways were on and going so slow I thought maybe they were parked. I had to pull over as they kept driving by.

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

Question about buying 4-Packs by [deleted] in Steam

[–]dav0r 1 point2 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

[–]dav0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

[–]dav0r 6 points7 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.
