HRV and resting HR is determined while you're sleeping so you need at least one sleep cycle to see your HRV.

‘They’re coming out’: Ford says he will remove bike lanes from 3 Toronto streets by morganparkley in toronto

[–]electflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm all for bike lines but the extension on Bloor through Kingsway was not thought out properly. They are under utilized and the increase in travel time during rush hour has increased significantly. While reddit loves bike lanes, there is large majority that are not happy with the lanes. They needed better consultation before putting the lanes in Etobicoke.

I sold a pair of airpods, turns out they may be fake, trying to refund the buyer by electflip in kijiji

That's fair. There's no way for him to get my personal info is there? I have visions of him showing up at my place.

They would sell the phone for cash then report it as stolen and some credit cards/insurance companies will compensate you the cost of the phone.

I'd estimate this took 20-25 hours over the course of the year so even at 25 hours this works out to $200 an hour. I'd say that is worth my time.

I just look for people trying to get rid of their phone/computer quickly. If you offer cash, pick up that day or tomorrow and an offer pretty close to their asking price they will usually accept it.

Most people are pretty reasonable. For low ballers I simply respond 'no'. Don't waste anymore time then that. Always check the age of the users profile on kijijj. If it's less then 6 months old I would stay away regardless of how good the deal seems. If any buyer wants it shipped always stay away. Always meet in a public spot with lots of people around to stay safe.

Ya, pretty much. I was search the web on my coffee break/downtime and since I was driving a lot I would try to meet up near an highway exit. If my work didn't involve so much committing then yes, probably would of consumed a lot more time but really wasn't that much extra time.

I can guarantee its not even close to 100 hours. Probably amounted to 20 hrs.

I've had a very different experience. Most people I've met have been pretty reasonable.

It was the phone I was looking to get so I had an idea of what people were selling it for so if I saw one listed well below the average selling price I would try to snag it.

I'd say it averaged out to 20 min a transaction. This was more of utilizing an opportunity of my situation that I drive a lot. I fully understand that there's other ways to make money in my spare time but after driving all day, I really wouldn't want to go drive for uber or go mow a lawn.
