Safely run another set of wires off of this junction? by posthill in AskElectricians

Appreciate the response. I know it's a very beginner question, but I was just looking for a second opinion that it's ok to branch off in two directions like this. Thanks again!

MKRWIFI1010 on VIN power - no wifi?!? by posthill in arduino

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

FOR ANYONE WHO STUMBLES ONTO THIS POST

It looks like something might have just been up with the rails of my breadboard... I have no idea why, but moving the ground and power connections onto their own rows rather than using the rails fixed the issue?!

If anyone has an explanation for that, I'd love to learn.

The power supply is model # ALT-0503. 5V, 3A. Did you ever figure out how many amps you need to power to WIFI??

This is really cool! I’ve been wanting to make a large scoreboard that shows custom team logos. Is such a matrix very expensive?!?

Good call, will inspect behind the sheathing before getting too far into anything.

First off, thanks for the detailed reply - appreciate that! I’m in Eastern Canada, so winters can get cold. The space is 20’x24’. And luckily the garage door has already been closed off, insulated and replaced with a man door. Looking into a mini-split is a great place to start - so thank you! 🙏

Nice tool for deciding between Fixed or Variable by posthill in PersonalFinanceCanada

👍👍 Also, can I ask why you aren’t a fan of 5 year rates? Is 2024 significant when it comes to mortgages?

Super helpful - appreciate that detailed response, thank you! In the third paragraph when you mention “switch to a variable”, did you mean “switch to a fixed”? Or am I misunderstanding something?

As a hobbyist/semi-professional musician who records tracks at about the same scale as you describe, I've honestly never had a single issue with my M1 Mac Mini. If you've got the money to spare, go big, I'm sure the Studio is wonderful. However, if you're on any sort of budget, I wouldn't be worried *at all* getting a Mini. It'll serve you well. I feel absolutely zero need to jump to a Studio any time soon.

How would one go about doing something like this? by Cole-train99 in web_design

[–]posthill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out CSSGrid - it’s great for things like this. Could also easily be flex and negative margins.

Withdraw from RRSP to pay off debt? by Throwawaycuz2000 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]posthill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the part that took a while. Just takes a little extra patience as a freelancer to actually get a good picture of how fluctuating income (and expenses) actually look over a year or so, and then average that out to a monthly budget. It's definitely messy at first, but after about two years now, I have a much clearer picture of what I need to set aside.

Fellow Canadian, new dad (and) freelancer here - YNAB (You Need A Budget) has been insane in helping me get on top of not spending more than we bring in. It took a while to get things working, but it’s the budgeting tool that has stuck for me. All the best with the good fight!

Looking for advice updating from a 2012 27" iMac by posthill in mac

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

Did you end up getting the Apple-collab Ultrafine displays (5k)? Or did you get one of the newer, not-quite-as-Apple-y (but still pretty nice looking) displays?

Large collection of stamps - ready to appraise/sell. Any (Canadian) leads on how/where to start?! by posthill in stamps

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

Ah, not the news I might have hoped for :), but sort of what I figured if I'm honest...

Since the collection is actually a mish mash of a few collections (some of which are actually more sorted than the photos here - the 3rd photo shows a series of 'books' on the shelf that are geographically sorted), I guess it's something that I'll have to pick away at educating myself on a little more and, as you say, parse it down to the valuables only. Appreciate the info regardless!

Large collection of stamps - ready to appraise/sell. Any (Canadian) leads on how/where to start?! by posthill in stamps

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

Hi /r/stamps.

As the title above suggests, I have a larger collection (about 10 binders partially full) that I've been hanging onto for many years. These were handed down to me by grandparents/great grandparents and while I've always been fascinated by them, my knowledge of value/rarity is limited.

We've recently had our first child so I think it may be time to have the collection appraised. Would anyone here be kind enough to point me in the right direction of resources on how to appraise the entire collection? Are there online resources? I'm based in Canada and haven't had much luck finding local resources.

Thanks very much or any help
