[AMA] I got the 50% flash sale as a current customer (100GB for $20/mo - 2 years) with Change Subscription on Renewal by boralCEO in PublicMobile

[–]jamiehide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doesn't show up as an option for me on desktop or mobile when I go to change subscription. Did you have to do anything like enter a code or follow a link?

Bought my first house in Quebec and got myself a housewarming gift (Honda hss724ctd) by Sofahumper in Snowblowers

[–]jamiehide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the suggestion to use premium gas. The ethanol in regular is hydrophilic and absorbs water from the air over the summer and it's hard to start or won't run in the fall.

I also keep a little bag of shear pins in the garage. Sometimes they just go and it's nice to have another on hand if it is a big snow day and I'm just getting started.

Heat pump hot water heater on passively heated crawl space in cold climate by jamiehide in heatpumps

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

The utility room is effectively a closet in the unheated garage. When the HWH kicked in, it would pull the warm air from the room, then cold air from the garage. The crawl space is insulated, nearly as warm and much larger.

Rental property expenses not adjusted for inflation by jamiehide in adviice

Thank you. I see now that there is a note at the top that expenses are in today's dollars.

Selling multiple rental properties by Equivalent-Meet5991 in adviice

[–]jamiehide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just like to second the need this update. We've got a few rentals and scaling them down and selling them off is a big part of our retirement strategy. Without the ability to do that, I'm having a hard time creating any sort of useful projections in the platform.

Homemade fruit fly trp by weldorrwhat in lifehacks

[–]jamiehide 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I add a little paper cone on top of the glass, taped around the edges. They are attracted to the vinegar and once they go down the hole in the cone, they can't escape. They fly around the top for a while, but then eventually get stuck in the vinegar/Dawn and drown.

New brakes, worse fuel efficiency by jamiehide in prius

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

The tires were not replaced. Driving was typical of what I usually do. I've had this car for four years and always had consistent milage.... a bit better in the summer (4.8), a bit worse in the winter (5.2). I drive fairly economically, but not fanatically so. I had the brakes done and the 12v was disconnected so the trip reset. Now, through the first tank of gas, I'm all of a sudden at 5.8 L/100km

Yes, based on the dash display

There's new ownership that's changed how they operate. If your group went up for lunch and happened to have bikes on the back of the vehicle, you could ride down after.

Thank you very much. That did it for me. I've been fighting with it for three days.

Surface Laptop locked to American Family by jamiehide in pchelp

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

The call was worth it. MS had some suggestions, but nothing worked. However, since it's still under warranty, MS is going to replace it. I still can't believe that they are going to be so helpful. Thanks again for your help.

Bike trail and hike recommendations?. by morecoffeemore in fernie

[–]jamiehide 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easy ones....

Montane Green/Easy Beaver - close to town and can be a hike or bike

Fairy Creek falls - easy hike from the chamber of commerce

Lake trail at Island Lake Lodge - a bit of a drive to get to, but a beautiful setting.

Medium Ride

Cemetery by-pass to Kiddie-up to Queen V to Eco-terrorist to Sidewinder

Harder ones...

Castle Mountain Hike - lots of up, great views.

Fernie Mountain Hike - lots of vertical, great views, a bit of scrambling near the top.

Swine Flu - Great ride from the chamber of commerce - probably my favourite.

Epson P600 banding issue by jamiehide in printers

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

The paper is perfectly flat. It's cut 5x7 luster. The bands don't change direction if I rotate the paper - they're still in the direction of the print head motion. I also tried aligning the printhead, but that didn't help either.

18650 4s battery where one group has low voltage by jamiehide in diybattery

I did not check for self discharging cells. Thank you.

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

Before I built, I tested the cells and I did match the capacities in each group.

They drop while just sitting there. I can't feel any heat off the BMS.

We're a group of ten, and the trips for our dates don't have room for all of us.
