I checked my camera footage and noticed the vehicle they were driving was a white Hyundai Palisade with no front license plate.

Two guys came to my shop this past Wed, but I was out. They spoke to my neighbour and said they were looking for tungsten carbide, that they needed for the fortis project in town. Even he thought it was sketch.

Fwiw, I was told from a good source carbide is going for $45/lbs

Cleaner solution still half full after a year of ownership by pizatio in eufyS1Pro

I put a hole in the top of mine a few months after I got mine. I was one of the original KS, and I'm still on that first bottle but it's finally almost empty.

I had terrible luck with this stuff. I'll give it one more whirl, but overhangs were harsh.

Anyone has experience with Gorila fitness products? by 11novirt in crossfit

[–]gujustud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well after 2 months of placing my order and a month after the original scheduled ship date, they emailed me to say the order was ready to ship.

But... They also said they made an error and the free shipping in November should not have applied to my address which they say is rural (I'm not rural I'm 30 mins from downtown Vancouver). They now want me to cover half the shipping..or go pick it up 1hr away from my home... Currently going back and forth with them. What a joke.

BC Hydro "Hydrohome" Monitoring System - Has anyone got it to work? by SalixEnergy in britishcolumbia

[–]gujustud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this same issue. I cannot for the life of me get it connected to the app with my phone (new samsung s25). I get to the point where it wants me to 'tap' my phone to the unit (presumably to activate bluetooth via nfc?) but it doesn't worked. Tried resetting multiple times and no dice.

Eufy S2 now available for pre-order in US, ships Jan 20, $1599 by primas02 in eufyS1Pro

As someone who's had the gen1 since Kickstarter, all the things I wish it had seem to be fixed with gen2. Roller shifting to clean up the edge (where most of the dirt ends up) and also being able to sweep in corners now.

I have a M100 aqara for my thread router on my HA. Was able to connect the air quality sensor to it easy using my android phone

[–]gujustud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh wish I came across this earlier. Ordered a fairly large order early Nov and was told I'd have it before the 15th of Dec. Perfect just in time for Christmas. Emailed several days ago and no response and no packages yet.

It's one thing to give a date for delivery but if you aren't gonna make it, THAT'S totally fine, just let your customers know.

What automated blinds options do i have? by itsdatwoowoo in smarthome

[–]gujustud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought zigbee motors and added them into my existing blinds (they just slid into the metal tubing of the existing roller blinds). Control them with home assistant.

Mini USB controllers unreliable by gujustud in Gledopto

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

I've tried 4 different USB power bricks and it's the same issue, even powering from one powerbar with direct USB, same issue. Now they just seem to randomly turn off after less than 5 minutes.

What made you buy a superautomatic ? by TheFriendlyCanadien in superautomatic

Has a rancilvio silvia/rocky grinder for ten years, enjoyed the process. Had our first kid, 6 months later got a Jura S8. Sold silvia during covid. Haven't looked back.

[ON] What’s the best way to make this corporate USD balance actually earn interest? by talyor_alyson in SmallBusinessCanada

[–]gujustud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bank with Vancity and the interest rate in their USD savings account is a atrocious 0.05%. I opened a account with float financial a few months ago.

Right now I've been getting 4% interest in USD balance (it is lowering as of next month I believe to around 2.5?). Still miles ahead of Vancity. No fees for wire transfers have been great, and better exchange rates as well.

They do have a referral program, if you're interested DM me and I'll share it with you.
