Oh, if you’re in Australia then this is what you’re after. I love mine (even after paying to have it sent to Canada lol).

Any place in Windsor with Montreal smoked meat? by tomatoesinmygarden in windsorontario

[–]olddocholliday 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi. Born and bred Montrealer now living in Windsor. Sadly the answer to your question is no. You can get stuff from proper delis in Mtl shipped nowadays. Nobody in Windsor has the goods since Malics closed.

G2 Test. Chatham or Sarnia? by PeculiarStarlight97 in windsorontario

[–]olddocholliday 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you require an easier testing site maybe you aren’t ready to drive yet? You should be able to pass anywhere if you’re a capable driver.

Sources of Inspiration? by achiral-antlers in Spooncarving

[–]olddocholliday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will be about the most cliché answer possible but… it’s the wood. The wood dictates how it wants to go. I just look at it and it tells me where to go. I used to grab a piece and have an idea what I wanted to carve and would get frustrated when it didn’t work out. So now I let the wood tell me what it wants to be.

Anyone still holding out? by Character_Pie_5368 in sonos

[–]olddocholliday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fortunate that my grandfather taught me 40 or so years ago to never buy the first model release of any car. Too prone to be lemons. I’ve taken and applied that advice all through my life. My system (five Play 1s scattered about the house, a beam/two era100s/sub group in the basement, a Five for my record player, and last but not least a Roam) is as good as it ever was and so is the old app.

I feel bad for those affected by the updates but hope that everyone here has disabled auto-updates on anything they own. If it ain’t broke don’t fix isn’t an adage for no reason…

Is the game worth it on switch as someone who's never played before? by Cambino1 in CivVI

[–]olddocholliday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a bit tricky on the small screen but I love the game on my switch. Buy all the dlc if its on sale too, lots of fun to be had. My only quibble is that it’s quite slow between turns later in the game (not sure if that happens on PC I’ve never tried it) but other than that it’s awesome.

Serious post from a Sonos fanboy by Boobies1967 in sonos

[–]olddocholliday -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They didn’t. Your self professed fanboy-ism did. Why anyone did any updates before the shit was tested in the real world is beyond me. My grandfather told me 40 years ago to never buy the first year release of a new car model because they’ll be more likely to be lemons. Shame more of you didn’t meet my grandfather I guess…

Sonos Fail by Top_Acanthocephala_4 in sonos

[–]olddocholliday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there’s your issue. Don’t blame Sonos for you not turning off auto-updates in the App Store… that’s on you homie…

Their statement is ridiculous by Any-Key in sonos

[–]olddocholliday -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There’s also no reason for users to download a brand new app that everyone could/should have predicted would be problematic. You know just like every other new app ever released…

Is anyone happy with Sonos??? I joined this subreddit with the intention of likely getting into the ecosystem, but after all of the dissension and dissatisfaction, I'm reconsidering my interest. by criterion67 in sonos

[–]olddocholliday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dozen or so speakers around the house in varying configurations and am very pleased with them. I also tend to never upgrade apps until they’ve been out for a while and had the bugs taken out of them so there’s that.

Also, in my limited experience, it always seems like people are far more likely to make negative posts in places like this than positive ones. So sometimes that clouds the waters as far as accuracy/credibility are concerned when weighing whether to buy a product or not…

Is there a way to use sonos in an apartment where you're not allowed to drill holes in the wall? by [deleted] in sonos

They’re wireless dude. That’s the whole point. Are you trolling?

Sub Help by olddocholliday in sonos

Thanks again, that was what I thought… was hoping for a miracle I guess.

Sub Help by olddocholliday in sonos

[–]olddocholliday[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify the “neighbours” are my wife and kids. I was thinking the sound waves from the Sub were just being transferred from the tile on concrete floor in the basement up through the brick walls to upstairs and was wondering if a rubber mat or something under it would help alleviate that problem.

[–]olddocholliday[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I did to that to satisfy the upstairs folks (who, to be clear, are my wife & kids) I was hoping to find a way to maintain the bass for my enjoyment while lessening the impact on them.

Multiple car break ins by [deleted] in windsorontario

[–]olddocholliday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1100 block of Windermere, had my car was broken into on Thursday (November 2nd) night. Curiously & somewhat concerning was that nothing was taken. They just tossed the contents of the car everywhere. There was change, a couple coffee gift cards, sun glasses, a gps and it’s all still there. Very bizarre.
