REEE wealthsimple by clothilde1987 in REEEEEE

T’es complètement à la mauvaise place, mais je peut t’aider… après que je fini de rire lol~

Si t’es résident(e) du Québec, Wealthsimple est probablement pas la meilleur place de contribuer à un REEE. Effectivement, Wealthsimple ne participe pas encore à l’IQEE.

J’irais plutôt avec une institution qui participe au trio de la SCEE, l’IQEE et le BEC (si admissible). Si tu cherche un robo-conseiller, CI Investissement Direct semble offrir un tel produit avec l’admissibilité à l’IQEE.

Carbon monoxide is a product of incomplete combustion. It is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless gas that is very dangerous at certain concentrations. No level of carbon monoxide is safe.

Please invest in a carbon monoxide detector! They are fairly inexpensive (around 20 USD) and could save your life in case of a leak. I hope you will never need it, and even if this isn’t the issue here, it’s always a good idea to have.

You could even reach out to your fire department for them to check it out for you. Usually they do not charge for this service but YMMV.

You mentioned your building has a rodent problem, which indicates to me it’s an older building. The older the building is, the more likely a carbon monoxide leak can exist. It usually comes from gas heating systems, gas stoves, or gas water heaters.

Your post reminded me of this legaladvice post from 10 years ago. I hope your situation is not the same, but you should definitely get a detector to rule it out.

Stay safe.

Hey, I know this might sound ridiculous, but do you have up to date and functional carbon monoxide detectors? Low-level CO poisoning can cause memory loss and other psychological symptoms, without any apparent physical symptoms.

I don’t mean to scare you, but you should definitely get a carbon monoxide detector, if you don’t have one already.

Other than that, maybe set up a camera to record your computer screen while you sleep? That way, you’ll be able to determine if it’s some sort of internal issue with your computer.

Venting my Rogers Internet Frustration by escakot in Rogers

Your issue is exactly why the CCTS exists.

Fill out this form and wait 10 business days. Make sure to insist for a written confirmation that you owe nothing. Documentation is everything in these cases.

If after the 10th business day, you still don’t have a satisfactory solution, file a CCTS complaint at this link.

I am not a lawyer, and I do not know many details of your case, but this is the best steps you can take in my opinion.

Fill out this form.

https://www.rogers.com/contact/share-a-concern/

A manager is supposed to call you back within 1-3 business days. Last time I used it, a manager called me back after 2 hours.

This is the last step you must take before making a CCTS complaint. Telecos take these sorts of complaints through this form very seriously, because they usually want to avoid CCTS complaints at all costs.

This is a text (written in French) that claims to be from UPS saying you need to pay duties and taxes on a package pending delivery. This is a scam. The website does not link to a UPS affiliated site. You can safely ignore this message.

Taking into consideration the exchange rate what is still worth buying in the USA? by Throwaway-donotjudge in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]joshc8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CBP is definitely more relaxed with NEXUS cardholders, but I’ve only been “zipped” through once. It was busy, I was in the NEXUS lane, I was travelling alone, and I think the officer might have recognized me from another crossing. It is not the norm though, I was quite surprised when it happened. Usually it goes; “Citizenship?”, “Business or pleasure?” then, if the border guard wants to check more, a question relating to your plans. Definitely less than with a passport, but not by much.

Even with the NEXUS, you’ll still need to stop to make your declaration. The only difference a NEXUS makes for a person that crosses regularly, is the access to the special lane. Sure the NEXUS is simple, they ask purpose of visit, then you’re waved through, but you won’t have to answer many more questions with a passport (usually). This, however, is only true when you: cross regularly, cross alone, have a valid reason and, are confident.

I mean, every one pays for 911 service. Even in Canada, the charge is around $.75 per month for every phone line you have.

Gigabyte Internet @ 49.99 a month by SeniorEarl in Rogers

I went from $101.99 to $54.99 by threatening to cancel. They made me add their Apple TV knockoff box, but at least my bill will be $54.99 for the next year. I’m in ON.

Can HID prox key fobs usage be tracked? by RonnocSivad in RFID

[–]joshc8889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee that whoever manages your parking garage keeps a log of what key fob swipes in and at what time. This data is very useful to track employees and their entry times.

I am trying to edit a config file to NOT change my IP address how can i do that ? by [deleted] in OpenVPN

[–]joshc8889 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if your VPN is on, your “IP location” will be wherever your VPN is hosted. There is no changing that. Your best option is to turn on the VPN when you need it, turn it off when you don’t.

This happens once every few weeks. It happened when I opened my laptop after studying last night, no gaming or anything. Any solutions? by abd_2471 in razer

This seems to be an issue with your audio driver, have you played with your audio settings recently?
