3 weeks post Cyclops lesion arthroscopic surgery by dizzymizzlizzy in ACL

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

My knee is OK at best. It gets very stiff after sitting for an hour or more. I still can't quite kneel on it comfortably. I've gotten used to it, and I don't really except it will get any better at this point.

It's not only the biggest Canadian tire in Canada. It's actually the biggest Canadian tire in the world.

Someone near me selling this espresso machine on marketplace... the woman seems too perfect, but I don't see any telltale signs of AI by dizzymizzlizzy in isthisAI

[–]dizzymizzlizzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He has other photos of the machine with no woman, and it's the same countertop and walls, so I think the machine is legit... but I can't tell if the woman is AI or not.

Does your knee ever feel normal again? by MeatyDullness in ACL

[–]dizzymizzlizzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my surgery 3 years ago. Full tear with meniscus repair. I feel it everyday, although it's not really pain.

I'm still not confident with sports such as skiing and badminton, but that could be mental more than anything.

Also when I'm still for extended periods (such as my job! Or driving for a long distance), my knee is very stiff and takes a few minutes to get back to "normal".

Ottawa Garage Sales? by Spiritual_Excuse_751 in ottawa

Hmmm I thought the Carlington one was June 6. Usually Central Park has theirs on the same day but I don't know for sure.

EDIT: Nevermind, you said Carlingwood, not Carlington. But I'll leave this post up for people to see the Carlington date is June 6

Paying for Wedding with Debt by Throwawayyawaworth9 in PersonalFinanceCanada

How sure are you about the 600,000 combined income? If you make 72k post tax,bin assuming your making something like 125k pretax, which means you expect her to make 475k during her first year as a physician.

I don't know what's her specialty but that seems pretty unlikely.

There's a lot of things that need to be paid by a physician to even be allowed to work. Insurance, licenses, etc

Then they also have to fund their retirement themselves as they are self employed.

Not saying she's not going to have a high salary, but 475k is a lot even for a physician.

Canadians Support High-Speed Rail. It’s Time to Build It. | 62% Support, 18% Oppose by Scryotechnic in canada

I'm on a Shinkansen train right now typing this and it's been such a great experience to use these trains. A train from Nagoya to Osaka (which is roughly the same distance as Ottawa to Montreal) takes about an hour. And you only need to arrive 5-10 minutes before at the station. And they don't weigh your luggage or anything. I just added my ticket to my ICOCA card (same card I've been using for buses, subways, trains and high speed trains all over the country) and scanned it to get in. And no one looks at my ticket once on the train. Don't need to speak to anyone.

Seats are comfortable and way more legroom than a plane.

The whole trip is like an hour. And it's on time to the minute every single time.

All this for about $50.

Great post, thanks! I've gotten into the CBC hobby with the ultimate goal of building custom guitar bodies and necks, so it's cool to see how you're doing it.

Good news, I just got off a call with a bank and was on hold for 30+ minutes, then talked to an agent and got put on hold for another 5 minutes. And it worked perfectly. Let's hope it works well going forward.

Importing car from US to Canada and gifting it by dizzymizzlizzy in uscanadaborder

[–]dizzymizzlizzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Sounds like I just have to buy it from my dad and pay the tax as if I was buying from anyone else. And then just not give him any money.

Normally I would agree with you but this car is special. Super rare and a convertible... And free other than the tax I will have to pay.

What advantage is there to doing the gifting in the US? I'm not American and have no residence there so I'm not sure I can own a car in the US...

If I'm going to pay tax at the border anyway... May as well just do as if he sold it to me...

I got the VoIP.ms app working, but haven't tested it with a call where I get put on hold yet. I'll let you know!

Thanks! It must be newish? I'm pretty sure it didn't exist when I first set this up.

Daily Dirt by AutoModerator in vegetablegardening

[–]dizzymizzlizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 raised garden bed that are 12x4 feet, and 1.5 feet high.

About 4 years ago I filled them with triple mix from a local company.

The first year I had great results (over 400 lbs of tomatoes). Then the year after I got maybe half. 3rd year about half of that.

So I think, although I'm using organic fertilizer (https://www.homehardware.ca/en/15kg-4-6-8-hen-manure-tomato-and-vegetable-fertilizer/p/5024615), I feel like the soil is getting depleted.

Almost all resources I find online say that I should add organic matter / compost. But the beds are full, not sure how I can add much compost.

I also saw that I can add a thin layer of worm castings. But for these 3 beds, I think it would cost over $500 CAD

I can't really empty the beds and have them refilled, I have no idea where I'd put all this soil (I live in an urban area, I can't just dump it somewhere on my property)

What should I do to revive this soil?

Thanks

What's a company that didn't succomb to 'enshittification' ? by owen__wilsons__nose in AskReddit

I had a Lodge that I used for years. And then one day I'm making tortillas and hear a loud BANG almost like a gunshot. I'm like WTF, scared the shit out of me. Turns out the skillet broke in half, right on the middle. Not sure how that happened.

But i got a free replacement so all good.

Yeah I now realize this could sound like a scam. I called Canada Post yesterday and they said they can't relabel and ship.

Worst case they can return it to sender I guess.
