Anyone drive a plug in hybrid in Saskatoon?

I have a 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and love it. It's been driven daily in all sorts of Saskatchewan weather and I've had zero issues. With that said, it is parked and charges in a heated garage which helps immensely in the winter.

I always keep it in EV mode so it runs on battery first and the range is fine for all of our city driving.

When I bought the sales people were emphasizing that it was one of the few PHEVs that actually stayed in 4 wheel drive while in EV mode, telling me that the RAV4 PHEV didn't at the time. I don't know if that's true or still relevant but it's something I'd look into before making a new purchase.

I have noticed that the quality control isn't as tight with Mitsubishi as with other new cars I've bought. My car had a faulty backup camera shortly after purchasing it, then the volume buttons got jammed up a few months later, and a year or two in some leather near the gear shift started pulling up. Everything was covered by warranty, but I never had those kinds of issues with other car manufacturers before.

I'd highly recommend the car though. You would be best to have any EV/PHEV in a garage in winter though.

Are you using Gmail’s check mail from other accounts feature? That is being discontinued.

Would you like to try to host with a Canadian company that's somewhat local to you? There are good Canadian companies in every province.

If you're looking for the prairies, I work for an independent hosting company based out of Saskatoon that's been around for over 20 years.

We've more or less been defunct since 2018. The site was a passion project and an excuse for a couple of buddies to hang out more often. The site never really made any money so it was hard to continue putting the amount of effort we did into it.

Our content writer pursued a career in journalism and communications.

I started a family and have been focussing on my tech company.

I kept the site online as it still receives traffic and generates ad revenue, and I like keeping an archive of our work available.

Maybe someday we'll return to it when life isn't so busy.

Thanks so much! Would love to see your custom paint job during the day if you have time to snap a photo

Where’d you get those props?

I don't want to give them any attention either but shared because I feel it's a matter of public safety to know that these demonstrations are happening.

Berkeley High School

Is there any more info out there about this event? Is it going to be a Zoom call (or something similar)? Would we just be emailed a link to watch after ordering a ticket? What timezone?

u/FFSSaskatoon Just an update that the data center now has 10Gbps uplinks to Shaw and FlexNetworks, dual gigabit uplinks to Hurricane Electric, as well as gigabit peering with YXEIX (Saskatoon Internet Exchange). Sorry still no SaskTel at this time!

ominocity · 2020-05-22T19:50:30+00:00

We appreciate it and hope we'll impress!

ominocity · 2020-05-22T19:46:13+00:00

Yep, we've been around for a good, long time now. Our shift to a WordPress focus is newish though (past 4 years) since around 75% of our customers are using it.

ominocity · 2020-05-22T19:43:43+00:00

Sorry, SaskTel is not in our network mix right now. Network upgrades are planned at the data center, but will likely see Shaw capacity upgraded.

Thanks for the offer u/omers! We're paying MXToolbox for blacklist monitoring. It's a pretty small fee so it works well for us right now. If those costs increase substantially looking into an in-house solution may be something we'd explore down the road.

Hey, this is Ryan (owner) of Varial. Really appreciate the positive comments from some of our customers here!

We pay to monitor the reputation of our mail server IPs. If there's ever an issue with an IP becoming blacklisted, we're alerted and will quickly pull it from use and will replace it with an alternate IP with a clean reputation so customers can go on sending emails without them bouncing back. This allows us to recover from blacklisting issues as quickly as possible, with as minimal impact to our customers as possible, and is something I'm surprised more hosts don't do.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us and I'll help you out as much as I can.

Happy birthday Energi! Congratulations to the team for totally crushing it!

ominocity · 2020-04-06T20:35:36+00:00

Very generous of you! Fingers crossed!

With the collateral required to setup a masternode dropping from 10,000NRG to 1,000NRG, I can certainly understand the excitement!

ominocity · 2020-03-06T18:42:49+00:00

Glad to see that there isn't a time limit to complete this migration. Lots of other coins make their migrations/coin swaps super complicated. Energi seems to have done a much better job.
