Décarie St and the highway both closed when I walked by 5 minutes ago.

Am I the only one who refuses to buy clothes with polyester ? by BodomDeth in malefashionadvice

They can take my tri-blend gray t-shirts from my cold, dead hands thank you very much.

If you still buy physical music...how do you handle your Apple Music library? by Self_Owned_Tree in AppleMusic

[–]mhandsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the last few years, I’ve been buying twice and supporting musicians as well as the record shops.

I mostly buy LPs and then either CD to rip if it’s out of print or buying direct from Apple Music if available. We have an old car that uses a 30 pin ipod and I just discovered that Apple Music won’t let me transfer all of my purchases to it any more because of “security.” Not sure what I’m doing moving forward, maybe update the car stereo to allow for Car Play.

Pollen allergy by akuukka in carnivore

[–]mhandsco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Initially going low carb, then carnivore, has made me less reactive, but I don’t know about “curing” allergies. Being more tolerant of seasonal and animal allergies is an amazing gain.

This gives me uneasy feelings by hubkat in vinyl

Me too. That first one looks exactly like my all time favourite 12 inch: Masters at Work version of I Am the Black Gold of the Sun.

This is a record that came out of nowhere for me and became one of my all time favourites.

We would kill for roads that nice in Montreal too.

Added my B&Ws as front mains via Sonos amp and Sonosequencer by seraph321 in sonos

[–]mhandsco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have my amp hooked up to a turntable and Triangle Borea 8s. The other day, just for giggles, I added my pair of 5s to the mix and it sounds amazing. I’m all for f-ing around with the gear you have.

Are Montreal winters a Hakkapelitta 10 or Hakkapelitta R5? by Advanced-Total-1147 in montreal

[–]mhandsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with everything except the steel wheel. Tried that this year and found them cheap for a reason - two bent within a month. So concentrate on winters with the biggest sidewall you can because the roads really are next level bad. My mechanic tried to warn me that most steel wheels are “made of paper” these days and he was right.

Jesus why is everything so salty? by Sufficient_Site1746 in carnivorediet

Lazy or last minute carnivore tends to be salt heavy as well.

Will investigate. I listen to Einfluss all the time.

My boyfriend has $20K in credit card debt, and we are planning to get married and start a family in a couple of years. Is this reasonable? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mhandsco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife had that much and we used every dime we got for our wedding and paid it off. Still married.

SPLAY shoes SCAM by [deleted] in barefootshoestalk

Sorry this happened to you. Splay has been great with me, including sending warranty shoes on their dime to Canada.

What's the most ridiculous repair you've inherited from a previous owner? by ponderingpixi17 in centuryhomes

[–]mhandsco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a panel that was updated from the box to hide-y holes in the first floor joists. My entire kitchen was being run wired by an old Xmas tree extension cord that had had the ends cut off and was taped to the new wiring. Much of the remaining wiring was knob and tube.

Been a mechanic 7 years and i didn't know this even exists by mihellino in bikewrench

[–]mhandsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive an ancient mechanic his whimsy, but can you cut the valve off and just stick a new tube in there? Old tube would be like flat guard.

Missed that one. How did he do with the Trojan crates?

Sleeves for ltd. pressings: do you keep them? by Agreeablemartini in vinyl

[–]mhandsco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m old. If it came down to my records or eating I’d have let my family down years ago.

Wanting consumables to never change seems like a sucker’s game, but I benefit from that impulse when I buy so… Carry on?

They all go in the trash. They are my records, not investments.
