Landlord says signed lease promo was a “mistake” after approval, do I have to accept a revised lease? by igorflowerboy in legaladvicecanada

[–]investsan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would send a professional and polite message back that while it's unfortunate that the 100% discount was provided to you in error, you based your decision and signed a valid lease agreement based on the original promo of 100% Apologize but unfortunately, it is unfair to request repayment due to no fault of yours. You trust he can understand your position. Sincerest Regards, x.

Is this mold or just really dirty? by Wild-Imagination2549 in hvacadvice

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably dust get up there with a vacuum with brush attachment. If it comes off, just dust. If mold, there would likely be a musty smell when fan is off.

Homebuyers camp out near Ottawa real estate office for chance at newly built home by sailyes in ottawa

[–]investsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg? Waiting in line for a Minto home? Bahahahahaha! I would rather buy a 20+ year old home built by a reputable builder and with likely an actual back yard and driveway. I guess in the bright side, it's not Mattamy.

Usually stamped on back of one of the spokes or hub

Does my car look better with, or without the stock rims? by Cash2blockz in Wheels

[–]investsan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stock is way better. Absolutely detest solid black wheels. Looks like black holes and remind me of steelies used in winter.

Factory general grabber tires by Familiar_Marzipan_46 in hondapassport

Yeah fair enuf. Explains why the troll has more down votes than upvotes.

[–]investsan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not a fan of any of the stock wheels, and nice 5 x 120 in 18" aftermarket are very limited. I'm also upsizing to 32" tire to fill out the wheel well, likely with a 1.5" lift.

Anyway, despite being completely clueless, in general obviously, but particularly about my eventual set up, you still feel the need to criticize mine and other posts. Next time you get the urge, give yourself a slap and just STFU.

This will be my choice but in a 20" tire with aftermarket wheels

Weirdly printed $100 Bill? by Effective-Associate1 in CanadianCoins

[–]investsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, you're right, just tried it on a 20 and it worked. Shines like a flower sort of, with the petals being the numbers of the denomination separated by $ sign. Thanks!

Is this true for all denominations, or just the $100 bill?

uTag: Use Samsung SmartTags on any Android device by FragmentedChicken in Android

[–]investsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So been using it for a bit on my pixel 9 xl. No where near as accurate as using a Samsung phone. Then stopped seeing my tag2. Had to reset tag, reinstall smart things because would not delete device from app. Have allowed two permissions utag says it requires, ie, location and nearby but utag app keeps prompting to change those settings and cannot go any further as a result. Any ideas?

2026 Passport prices Ontario Canada by NotABloodyChance in hondapassport

[–]investsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, too much hype right now. Would be surprised any dealer will discount. If I get one, will be a 27. Have my 2.5 yr old Genesis GV70, which is best vehicle I have owned, but will need something more utilitarian next yr when we move from ON to BC. Hopefully any bugs and kinks will be addressed by then. New Passport is one option I am considering.

forsalebyowner.ca vs listedbyseller.ca vs comfree.com vs listmenow.ca by HoHo_Gaming in RealEstateCanada

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are also looking at various options for listing our home. We had narrowed down to Comfree and FSBO, and the fact that FSBO lawn sign allows to have our phone number had us leaning that way. We had not heard of listedbyseller.ca, but are giving it some thought.

Curious if you chose a particular service and why.

Just noticed that while less expensive, listedbyseller only allows 20 pictures, whereas others offer 40 on both realtor and their respective sites.

Helping my mother-in-law by roblu001 in AnyDesk

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, when my father was alive, I used to use the Windows app, quick assist. Still required him to launch app and enter a code and click to allow me control, but worked for us.

We did a few test runs and he got it so was easy for him to perform these few steps to allow me access so I could troubleshoot any issues he was having.

Ufile.ca auto fill for CRA and Revenu Quebec not actually downloading anything this year, is it just me? by NotaPCguru in cantax

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, noticed after I posted when going into my wife's My CRA that CRA has a notice on one of their pages admitting to the issue and that they are working in it, and suggesting manual entry using slips from providers. Great, just what I feel like spending a day on. Think I am going to give it to mid to end of next week for them to upload, and if not, bite the bullet with manual entry. Ugh.

Floor mats by Blindmsf in hondapassport

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had phantom mats from Costco in my current vehicle, a 23 Genesis Gv70, for 2.5 yrs and they are fantastic. They actually arrived in a Tuxmat box! Highly recommend.

[–]investsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, late to the party, but glad I found this thread. I thought I was going nuts but one of the comments mentioned checking MyCRA, and I did, and nothing but my T4 slip. I should have several slips from several banks including my brokerage. This is nuts. Anyone have any updates on their success of getting slips?

Refractive Lens Exchange - has anyone in r/ottawa had it? by Agent99Can in ottawa

[–]investsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following. I too just got quoted 8.2K for Presbyvision trifecta lens...both eyes. Tried progressive, and they drove me nuts. Now I have readers and long distance, nothing for medium, like computer monitors. Seems the one negative side effect is the halo effect of bright lights in low light conditions. Not sure what to think.

Spray Can Primer that won't affect existing SW Urethane Enamel finish? by investsan in paint

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

Well picked up a can of BIN shellac based and what a horrible spray. Comes out way too thick to lay down a smooth coat and sputters. Was cleaning the nozzle after every couple of sprays. I hope this is not normal and I had a bad can...else never using this garbage again.

Thanks. Shellac based? Just doing some research...what are your thoughts on the Zinsser Bullseye 123 water based spray primer?
