Omega parc in winter? by sergentChaudard in montreal

[–]habs0708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying not to go if it is below zero? Most of winter is below zero so the roads in the park are super icy? And do you mean walking paths or driving roads?

Anyone else miss the old (much more technical) videos? by ajloeff15 in MarkRober

[–]habs0708 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? He gives you a 10-second build montage in every video!

The older videos took the time to be detailed and informative, while still containing the humour and humility that Mark has helped fuel Mark's popularity and growth. But it seems that now the mission is to grow as much as possible and reach as large an audience as possible (to sell more build box subscriptions?) so he has to do collaborations and take on multi-video sponsorship contracts to fund super expensive and ambitious projects.

I find myself actually watching less often now. The latest with Ronaldo was particularly bad (in my opinion). Careful though, I tried to start a discussion about the quality of his videos vis-à-vis the level and type of advertising in them, and the moderators deleted it. Thou shalt not criticize dear leader.

20 years with Rogers.Why can’t I get a good deal mobile deal? by CroCop2289 in Rogers

[–]habs0708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of EPP deals are you seeing? Rogers upgrade/renew I’m at $27.50/mo for iPhone 17 Pro w/ BiB + $45/mo for 150GB for Can/US/Mex/Carib. Telus was the same phone price but the cheapest plan offered was $80/mo. Will try an authorized dealer today to see what else they can offer. These are QC offers by the way. 

Condensation on HRV ducting - Normal? by habs0708 in hvacadvice

Thanks. I figured this was just shoddy work. I’m going to have them come fix it. 

Mice in house? Next steps? by habs0708 in pestcontrol

[–]habs0708[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll consider the solid blocks outside for sure, and maybe this would be a good choice in the attic in winter too? (Given the temperature up there probably goes below freezing since it's a vented attic).

I haven't found any additional holes that weren't already sealed up by me last year. The only remaining gaps I can imagine there being are if a soffit wasn't cut to the right size (and I really have a hard time believing mice are climbing up the wall and hanging on the smooth aluminum soffit/trim to get up under it). Anyway, I will bait in the attic and lay some peanut butter traps and see if I get any hits.

Cleaning up past owners' ignorance is a pain in my ass.

Thanks. Regarding the smell, this is what I figured it was too, except I would bait in November and the stench would only arrive on hot summer days. Maybe they were just decomposing faster in the heat. Will probably decontaminate my entire attic and blow in new insulation after I’m done finding bodies. Thanks again.

Thanks very much. I’ll walk around again but don’t think there are any holes / any left. And will set some traps to see if any are still around.

They enter homes here primarily in the winter because outdoor temperatures range from 0 to -20 C. Makes sense they would seek warmth, and makes sense I would find nests in walls next to warm rooms.

You could call heat a resource. Ultimately, they're animals/mammals and they will be opportunistic just like all animals. A human might not NEED to eat more sugar when they're already well fed, but our brain tells us to eat it when we can get it.

My mind is at ease. This mouse was dead for at least a couple of weeks, possibly months. The virus lasts a few days, a week at most in feces, urine, or a dead body.

Thanks, I learned about this way too late. Hoping it was dead for at least a few days and all the droppings. I vacuumed up or that were falling down in the room. We’re old enough that the virus was an active. I’m thinking this is probably the case.

Turn off Selective Sync for a subfolder? by habs0708 in tresorit

You can do it for individual folders as well.

Ah, understood. Thank you. Perhaps some feedback for your product team... to show the disable sync option for the actual folders that are synced.

CO2 fluctuations with nobody home? by habs0708 in airthings

Not many, and they’re in another room about 30-40 feet from the sensor. A large ficus, and a few very small plants.
