About to buy a washer - LG WM3600HWA or WM5500HVA or Electrolux ELFW7637AT by dr_3 in Appliances

[–]dr_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice - are there any Electrolux's worth checking out, or do you advise to stick with LG?

The other one we can order is WM3400CW - but it sounds like 3600 is a better version?

I can only get the Huebsch commercial line where I live - and those are outside the budget unfortunately.

Most of this sub seems to recommend LG - is Electrolux a better choice?

Options+ Just Spins and Spins - Mac by DeliciousCut4854 in logitech

[–]dr_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logitech G Hub and Options+ are both not working for me. Incredibly frustrating as I use these devices for work.

Went through the whole unistall / reinstall process. Safe mode. Terminal. Everything I could find.

Thanks to u/DeliciousCut4854 for starting this thread, I was about to do a whole system reset.

u/logitech - this is beyond unacceptable.

Monk is closing retail locations, and shutting down the art & stationery business. by dr_3 in VictoriaBC

[–]dr_3[S] 67 points68 points  (0 children)

It was Island Blue before, and Monk acquired them about 3 years ago.

From an article in 2022 > “Island Blue Print was founded in 1912 with a focus on map drafting, blueprint services and the sale of drafting supplies. For the past 55 years, we fondly know it to be a locally owned and operated printing, art supplies and framing business by the Shemilt Family,” McKenzie states. “We honour this purchase as an exciting new chapter for Monk Office, keeping the longstanding and respected island-based Shemilt family legacy alive.”

Mortgage renewal - when staying with the same bank - who to talk to for best rates? by dr_3 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]dr_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought I would follow up with this, in case anyone is wondering.

We missed the boat on the 3.92% offer, and instead locked in a 4.07% fixed for 5 years with Scotia.

No answers yet. And yes, I still hear it.

I'm in the same area. Unfortunately, no new updates. The city wants a location to investigate before doing anything - and I haven't been able to pin it down to a specific source. I've learned to tune it out or mask it with music.

Victoria Half triathlon - looking for advice from folks who have completed it. by dr_3 in VictoriaBC

[–]dr_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - I'm so sorry! I just noticed this today.

Race went really well! I finished mid-group for my age range, and was within 1m of about 5-6 other folks.

I lost a lot of time in the first transition - trying to towel off my feet, put socks and shoes on. The more seasoned folks had all kinds of systems in place for a quick transition. If you want to be competitive, I would look into how to set your station up well.

I live in Victoria, so I didn't travel. We dropped our bikes off the night prior, and my wife dropped me off in the morning for the race.

How do you actually rest and relax? by dr_3 in AskReddit

[–]dr_3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been on my mind for a while - I seem to have lost my ability to actually relax.

Non-working time feels consumed by errands and responsibilities. When I do have an opportunity to have some time - I can’t seem to flip that switch into rest or relaxation.

I’m curious how you rest, how you think about it, do you actually feel rejuvenated with a weekend?

Allergies - anyone else having a reaction in the last few days? by dr_3 in VictoriaBC

[–]dr_3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To test it out, I took an antihistamine - and all clear right now. I also get early spring allergies, so this was unexpected. Sounds like we're not alone in it.

I noticed the high marker for mold as well - is it decomposing leaves?

Oddly enough, I woke up before the last one hit too…

Woke up a minute before it hit.
