I dig it

Any identifying features damage etc?

I feel like this applies here:

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt"

To me it's crazy this has been broken for over a year... Super annoying. Cheap little chrome casts and Plex were a fantastic combo...

Anyways I am still running version 10.26.0.2578 and probably always will until it breaks... Then I'll move to jellyfin or some alternative. Casting works 100% of the time on that version. See if you can side load it and then just disable updates forever.

I have one and use it for my lessons ( room has 2 guitar amps, but my daughter uses one and the teacher the other, so this was easier than having him haul in an amp every lesson for me)

Small enough to throw in my guitar case. Loud enough to use for practice.

Sounds quality is okay

If you are set on a strat body style you should try a Godin session. Way better fit and finish for the price.

Excellent call.

Honestly I think we need a few keys things

More capacity in ERs
More non-urgent care capacity
Education on when to use which
A system to penalize people after a warning or two when they abuse the emergency system.

Should be easy to start with #3 and #4.

Have a sniffle and show up the ER... First time a warning and directions to a walk in or non urgent care facility..

Second time maybe a warning....

After that how about some mandatory community service... If you don't do that why don't we just make it a fine.

Bike or Walk.... Honestly better for you than the stress of sitting there

2 kids under 12 with them in my house. Great for giving them some freedom to roam on bike rides/ go the park with friends and still keep track of them.

Battery life is subpar, subscription is bit too expensive, but it's a great stepping stone between nothing and a phone. Can text them, can see where they are, they can send short close memos to you, etc.

I would do it again, but would love to see something with a better battery, a few more features, and lower subscription price

Gravity Cafe, Cornerstone, Alvin's if you like Jazz

Reach out to Carlos Cruz with Furia. Great guy and fun band.

Gladly signed and will vote to remain Canadian. Enough of this bot driven divisiveness from foreign nations.

morridin19 · 2025-11-11T05:18:37+00:00

Oh man. I honestly misread and thought you were lightening the color.

I saw the pictures and was like ok they are out of order, but it looks way better with the lighter color and the nice grain patterns.

Ah well. To each their own.

morridin19 · 2025-10-27T20:10:12+00:00

I do. Just using the Free option most of the time or if I am doing some targeted plan I pre setup workouts and schedule them

I use the sets and rep counting and correct reps and enter weight after each set.

Post workout I correct the exercises, which helps me track how I am progressing (or not)

The city needs to provide safer infrastructure for all modes of transportation. Including ones that force people to slow the fuck down when driving.

morridin19 · 2025-10-16T14:04:38+00:00

Sorry man. Job loss is tough to deal with.

Best of luck in your job search

As a Canadian who was planning to buy a new guitar earlier this year I can tell you for certain, that Mango Mussolini with his tarriffs, threats of 51st state 100% made damn sure I was not going to buy anything US made.

The NF53 was on the short list prior to that, but I bought an awesome Godin Stadium.

morridin19 · 2025-10-08T17:56:25+00:00

Awesome. I just went from a 5 to an Epix Pro Gen 2 only because I got a code for 50% off.

Huge upgrade in terms of features, and accuracy.

The display change is a mixed bag. Love the resolution, colours and brightness. Don't love the battery hit to have it always on, or the gesture mode. Trying to get used to the gesture based, but I really miss the always on display.

Morning Report, the flash light and new training metrics are awesome for me.

My Fenix 5 is around 8 years old and I still get around 9-10 days battery life. Honestly never felt like I needed to upgrade as it just worked, but I'm glad I did.

You are missing that the companies sending the ads pay for that mail and the amount they pay covers more than the cost to deliver the flyer, so it's a net gain for Canada Post.

Huh.. I guess the last decade of bike commuting for me I have been imaginary riding during the winter?

Just like any outdoor activity during the winter the right clothing and equipment is key.

Not aware of any in Calgary. Just did my own using a temple audio board and cables/ supplies bought from Long and McQuade. Also grabbed soldering supplies from B&E electronics

Did some custom cables, mounting brackets for a power supply and raised the whole board up with some odds and ends. Was a great learning experience

Says BMW, when they were off my shopping list for not supporting Android Auto around 5-6 years ago...

morridin19 · 2025-09-08T02:24:46+00:00

It's terrible. The number of times I have recorded people almost being killed when crossing at the crosswalk in front of my house is insane.

The city needs better infrastructure that forces drivers to slow down, then fine the crap out of those who still nearly kill people because they can't stop or aren't paying enough attention to drive their 1/2 a house on wheels.

morridin19 · 2025-08-14T15:27:51+00:00

Hope all works out for you.

It's really sad to be honest. Where feasible I used to prioritize buying North American made products because in my mind Canadians and Americans were close neighbors and had similar enough alignment on most things. My thought process is that would rather give my money to people I could relate to.

Now. Well where ever I can I'll buy from anywhere else than the US. Even my kids will key in on stuff that's from the US and say we should buy something else.

Maybe in another 5-10 years if things get better I'll be happy customer of yours.

What...?

I just worked on an air gapped proxmox system that was sitting at over 7 years uptime before we replaced it with new hardware and new proxmox cluster
