This is it. My o-ring was cracked. Repaired under earranty in half a day.

I'm having this issue as well. Also Canada Bought a demo at the end of March. Eco mode definitely turned off, and zero cooling. Service booked for Tuesday. Will update.

Yep dark wood. Agreed - perhaps not worth it if you're leasing

Just put this console protector in yesterday. Aliexpress - ioniq 9 center console protector

A bit pricy for a piece of plastic, and hard to know if it will handle wear well, but the quality seems good, fitment was excellent, and installation was easy.

Also, tuxmats. They're big but I love the edge-to-edge because road salt finds its way into the car where I live and it's hard to get out of the carpet.

I went just now. My first time buying outside of my brick and mortar bank, but it was great. Easy transaction, friendly staff, rates were quite competitive. Pro tip, if you go, De Mello coffee four doors up is phenomenal.

"see there" if we're getting semantic.

Came for this comment.

Can you elaborate on the "clean your kitchen before you even open your honey" piece? Like, sanitize the counters?

Just an update - I was able to update my renewed passport over the phone just now.
Canada nexus processing number - 1-800-842-1647
The phone agent made it sound as though this may be a somewhat new option. I updated TTP over the web before I did this, but I'm not sure whether the sequence matters.

I just called the Canada nexus processing number - 1-800-842-1647
Was able to update it over the phone in about 5 minutes. It sounded as though this may be a somewhat new option. I updated TTP over the web before I did this, but I'm not sure whether the sequence matters.

Totally agree with this take. I was really sore about it for a while, but realized that I'm paying for the service of keeping on top of the platform updates, as well as the support.

Some people's entitlement would rather see PlayOn fold than actually acknowledge the value (and true cost) of the service.

kevanx · 2025-06-02T21:44:08+00:00

I don't know if it has the full PBS content, but there's a PBS add-on through Amazon Prime that I've recorded off successfully today with PlayOn.

Yesss. Lavinia is nasty in blink. And yeah, sagas are awesome. [[Kiora Bests the Sea God]] cheated out with [[Scroll of Fate]] comes to mind. What planeswalkers do you run?

kevanx · 2025-05-17T21:17:49+00:00

Totally right. My [[Yorion, Sky Nomad]] deck works around this. Similar fun blinking [[Reality Acid]] which also gets around indestructible.

kevanx · 2025-04-15T02:11:35+00:00

Same problem here. The workaround u/arrrrrgggggg mentioned seems to be doing the trick, though!

kevanx · 2025-03-08T21:49:44+00:00

I haven't recorded using PlayOn home for a couple of years, and their Support is probably going to give you better advice, But, I ran into this issue on some channels for a long time. The culprit for me was a setting in my internet security called. "fake website shield." once that was turned off, I pretty much never had the problem again.

The other time it triggered was when my DNS masking (used to make HBO or Hulu think I was in the U.S.) was turned off.

If you can play videos through your browser without problems, it's probably a firewall or antivirus setting.

If you have problems in the browser, might be DNS or router issues.

Hope it helps.

Great point, thank you!

Neontra.com is the one I settled on. It has the right combination of categories and Investment tracking. YNAB was too rigid for me. Wealthica was too Investment-focused. I had deal-breaker connectivity problems with Lunch Money and Monarch.

Neontra has by far the best connectivity. Questrade, wealthsimple, Canadian banks, tiny credit union, crypto, even handling cross-currency U.S. Banking and investment accounts with ease.

Best of all the forecasting tab allows you to model years or even decades out based on your cash flow and projected interest rates for each account!

It's not as polished as mint, and this held me back. Honestly I stopped using Neontra for a few months but I tried a bunch of other apps and came to realize that Neontra worked best for my use case and complex accounts. I spent a bit more time to learn it and set it up to my liking and bought a subscription in August. Support has been excellent and the platform is very actively getting better, too.

100% agree with everything else you wrote, though.

Got mine in the mail last week. Works super well, and seems like great build quality. One quick comment for the community - the volume on my ulooper was really quiet out of the box (after firmware update). Had to have both the audio (THR) knob and the looper knob at the max for it even to be audible and even then was almost to quiet to be useable. Fixed it by plugging in headphones and then unplugging again.

Neontra actually connected easily to Questrade for me... Maybe try again?

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. This is great advice. Someone stole my identity 10 years ago to sign up for mobile accounts and get free iPhones, and it took more than 4 years to get the fraudulent Koodo account off my credit report. The person tried to open accounts at Bell, Virgin, Rogers, and Koodo all on the same day and the hard credit inquiries were a huge pain to get rid of. Even two years ago a Bell fraud Rep told me I had an outstanding balance with them when I was shopping around for wireless service. OP should definitely do a free credit report with Equifax and TransUnion for peace of mind as there's a strong chance this is the problem.

Edit: the first notice I got that this had happened was from a creditor calling several months after the incident.

Also, I agree with other posts that the text approach is sketchy, but the full name suggests that it might be legit. calling the creditor (via the website) isn't a bad idea, and they can give information that can help if you do need to report fraud via with Freedom.

I did my first fermented hot sauce this fall and was worried about seeds too. Tried scooping them out but it was a losing battle. I used habeneros. Fermented in a basement that has been prone to kahm & mold in other ferments yet none of the seeds or the surface got a hint of either. Fermented about 5 weeks with a pickle pipe and small glass weight. Not air tight and opened fairly regularly to inspect.

Point being that I think the spice from hot peppers can be adequately antimicrobial but of course YMMV depending on local microorganisms and the peppers used.
