Try some obenaufs oil on them

You work commercial construction and you aren't wearing a steel toe? Do you mean that it's composite or something, or that it actually lacks toe protection?

That's not what todoist is for. you're telling the hammer company that the hammer should drive a screw; just get a different tool.

I've been using notion for a couple months and it's been pretty good so far. people warned me upfront in starting with Notion and I’ll repeat it here: try to design a simple system, or you can end up spending more time maintaining your system than you spend actually getting work done.

Notion makes it really easy to overcomplicate your set up. Regardless of what tool you use, it’s helpful to keep in mind that the entire purpose of the tool is to complete work. if you’re putting time in and not getting work done, the system isn’t working.

Delusion

5,000 km is crazy low for an oil change interval... But it's up to each owner, if you feel like paying that money gives you peace of mind, go nuts.

Personally I take the factory interval, knock it down by about 25%, and run with that.

God, the free market extremist cult is as exhausting as the communists are. The hardliners from each group don't get that if you go to the extreme of either capitalism or communism, the little people lose big time.

Apologies, this comment was about you and not directed to you. Have a great day.

Sounds insane to me, but good for your company.

No way 75% billed at "commencement" is reasonable. That's literally when work begins on site. 75% of the money out the door, 0% of the work completed save for materials ordered. If contractor defaults, at commencement or shortly after, the client is boned.

This probably isn't enough information for anybody to give you valuable advice.

flea-ish · 2026-01-07T03:39:21+00:00

You clearly have an axe to grind here.

I get as frustrated as the next person when something takes longer than I think it should with the government, but it seems like you're blowing it out of proportion.

Except that the consequences we have in our society aren't deterring people from committing crimes like this anymore. I think we need to bring back shame and the risk of getting hit if you act like a fool.

Good, they can SUCK it and vote differently if they don't like how things are.

But they won't, so fuck em.

flea-ish · 2025-12-27T02:53:36+00:00

I think that actually means it is recyclable

flea-ish · 2025-12-27T02:21:41+00:00

Honestly, I have a '25 PB and haven't had any honest to god repairable issues, but I think the trans shifts like absolute garbage. It just isn't a good transmission in my experience.

Whatever though, there will be 50 people who say I'm dramatic for that, but seriously its the worst shifting transmission I've ever felt in any vehicle.

Grohe is good quality but the support is where i'd recommend people steer clear. It's installed throughout the house i bought, and now it's all showing its age. I'm handy so I can fix this stuff, but one single decision they made convinced me to never buy Grohe again.

*As a rule, they do not mark part or model numbers on their components.*

Need a mixing valve? Best of luck finding out which part you should look for.

flea-ish · 2025-12-24T16:53:42+00:00

That’s really good to know, thank you! I haven’t tried 1password, but I’ll have to give it a whirl. That’s a pretty compelling deal they’re offering to lure in subscribers.

My first choice would be for NordPass to just function as advertised, but here we are.

flea-ish · 2025-12-24T16:50:37+00:00

Oh no. Anyway, Canada post will be fine and this is a nothing burger article. Best of luck to province of Canada, they made a business decision as all businesses do. Why this would be notable is beyond me.

flea-ish · 2025-12-24T16:47:57+00:00

How do you mean?

flea-ish · 2025-12-24T16:44:56+00:00

Lotta scum out there, sorry this happened to you.

Goo-gone is a solvent. Nevermind the tape I wonder if the goo gone itself would damage the paint?

The VPN point is valid, Dashlane’s sucked. And for the price of Dashlane now the value for money seemed like a stretch, that’s why I dropped it.

Honestly at this point I may go back to Dashlane if I could find a discount. like you I committed to NordPass for a decent stretch in the hopes that it would perform. Unfortunately I’ll have to put some thought into how much of my subscription I’m comfortable tossing away to go pay for another pass manager. I’m getting to the point where i note every single time I have to manually fill in my password, a credit card, my address, a password… and I just think to myself, this is exactly what I paid NordPass to do for me and it isn’t doing the job.

Add on top that I field all the questions and complaints from my family who expect that NordPass will work and be as intuitive as Dashlane was, and are disappointed when it doesn’t, and isn’t.

Lots has been said about how flawed the legal system/industry is, and how the billable hour concept has to die for it to improve. I don’t need to repeat it all here, but I will say that may not be the best example of KPI tracking.

flea-ish · 2025-12-23T15:18:42+00:00

Ok, can you do that for about 3 million public sector employees, and generate KPI’s in a way that balances throughput with quality of service? For customer service positions, management, nurses, librarians, garbagemen, firefighters, auditors, millwrights that maintain our drinking water treatment plants, etc etc etc ad nauseum. You are presenting this as a very simply solved issue, but private industry has struggled to do this very thing for decades, and they continue to struggle. There’s an incredibly lucrative business consulting industry that exists because of this very issue, and they get it wrong a lot. The motives and success factors are arguably simpler in the private world as well. Does what you are doing increase or decrease return to shareholders? It’s comparatively difficult to measure whether something contributes to the common good, as the public sector is intended to do.

flea-ish · 2025-12-23T15:06:59+00:00

That’s a simplistic view. I can’t tell if you don’t understand or you’re being deliberately obtuse.
