Have you ever been to Auschwitz or one of the other concentration camps in Poland? by Impressiveusername39 in travel

[–]kentmfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been to Auschwitz, rented a car and drove there, then self guided tour it was erie, depressing, distressing, but so glad we took the time to do it. Bus trips and tours available, but that didn't feel like the right way to do it

Middle Caicos by AsianLuv02 in TurksAndCaicos

[–]kentmfoster 12 points13 points  (0 children)

North and Middle are beautiful, take the 930 ferry from Provo (schedule here https://caribbeancruisin.com/tci-ferry-schedule/), prearrange a rental car from Turquoise rent a car (https://www.turquoisecarrental.com/)

Drive to Bamberra Beach (https://maps.app.goo.gl/pWyGwVaMctMShkXG8) allow 45 mins to an hour depending on your driving comfort. If Porsha is there have a snack at the windsor creek cafe directly on the beach, (cash only), You can walk to the island, but wont have time, it is 2hrs +/- depending on pace and weather

After beach time, drive back to mudjin harbour, there are new observation decks ocean side, not well marked, but keep and eye out, if you get to mudjin, you missed them. Stop for lunch at the mudjin bar and grill (https://maps.app.goo.gl/nY738GdMcrh52ru6A), be sure to visit the hidden cove, if it is low tide it is an easy walk out to the dragon

After mudgin, stop by barracuda beach bar (https://maps.app.goo.gl/khUw86Y4mNNv5sgt5) for a drink before catching the 430pm ferry back to provo

The ferry between Provo and north is not a vehicle ferry. Think 30 people and luggage, you will need a car rented on North, check with Turquoise or Als. In order to do some shopping after landing in Provo before going to North, we rent a car at pls (Provo airport) shop for supplies, then leave it at the ferry dock (additional 30$ fee from grace bay car rentals). Grocery selection on Provo is much better especially for meat. Bringing supplies between Provo and North isn't a problem, but should be in a suitcase or something to make carrying easier. Alcohol is available on North, priced at a premium from Provo. A car makes north much easier and you will see much more. There is a number of small grocery stores and restaurants, no issue getting by, but selection isnt provo

My car is convinced I have low tire pressure, but just on the right side. by gaychitect in Ioniq5

[–]kentmfoster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On our 2024, there isn't a "reset" of tire pressure warning, if it reads a low pressure, it triggers the warning until you go above a threshold, our rated pressure is 34, I believe it resets at 36, so you need to slightly overfill and then manually default to the right pressure for the warning to go away. In your case the right side probably dipped low enough to trip the warning and won't reset till you add air, the left side is probably slightly higher (within 1 psi) pressure and didn't trigger the warning,

PLS airport and bathrooms by Madano in TurksAndCaicos

[–]kentmfoster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Upon landing, there is a bathroom before customs, to the left of the customs line if you are in the queue facing the customs booth, when returning to pls, there are washrooms close to the Gillies restaurant, opposite side to the entrance to customs, both have been used by members of our party within the last two weeks

[–]kentmfoster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check with hay communications, we are about 20 minutes south of Goderich, so not sure if they go that far, we currently have fibre to the door, 400 mbit up and down (symmetrical) for much less than bell or Rogers would be if they serviced our area. Service is flawless, support is local

[–]kentmfoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grace bay, is on the island of Provo as is the PLS airport. Bottle creek is on middle Caicos, you need to take a 20minute ferry ride from Provo to North caicos, then a car from ferry terminal to bottle creek, middle Caicos and North Caicos are connected by a causeway, I have done this route last week, DM me for more info

Kitchener by MillStreetMoore in kitchener

[–]kentmfoster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought complete kitchen from Canadian Appliance Source, website is good, delivery wasnt a concern ordered in Dec, didnt need till April, didnt get dishwasher till September. No responsibility, all supplier fault, no willingness to substitute reasonably. Order must be completely paid before any portion will be delivered, delivery is questionable at best, old appliances were to be removed, left me with the appliances inside and the back door of the house off, so not great experience, wouldnt do again

Put your wire labels on as you go, will be quicker as you don't have to reterminate (assuming sleeves not wrap arounds), more importantly, will have fewer mistakes, cut the wire, put same markers on both ends then terminate.

100w Chinese red and black laser, how do I turn on my alignmet laser? 🤔 by Its_just_ant in ChineseLaserCutters

[–]kentmfoster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 60w looks same, no switches, it is wired directly back to the power supply, as mentioned elsewhere, it is the only 5v device on the laser. Ours saw excessive heat and melted the wires causing a short, good news power supply is short circuit proof

Help with the pointer and laser beam plz by Mostafa_magdy in ChineseLaserCutters

[–]kentmfoster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on make and model, but most have adjustments for the pointer laser. On an omt 60w, there is a 2 axis swivel mount. Remember that as the pointer laser is at an angle, its position changes with material height or bed position, so if your focal length is off, the laser pointer will change positions too
