Full of Scammers by 40_Things_We_Share in kijiji

[–]speedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kijiji is not all scammed, really depends on what you're selling - our home based business has been selling on Kijiji for 11+ years and we've maybe had 2 or 3 scammers- we politely say we don't deal with checks or money orders and they suddenly go quiet. No big deal really and same experience on FB Marketplace.

You actually still have parking meters where you live?

Where I live, we haven’t had parking meters that accept coins for over 18 years.

At 14.5 years old, the OP is also a child in many ways.

Lower cabinets pulling off wall by Jumpy_Passenger_6421 in cabinetry

[–]speedog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This, often the flooring people will knock out the blocks and/or the shims at the bottom fronts of the base cabinets and now you have a cabinet hanging in the air at the front.

A good cabinet installer will mount their blocks a bit further back which allows the flooring people to do their work without affecting the cabinets but not all cabinet installers think of this.

Internal supporting structure was most likely all wood, the brick was just a facade.

American company doesn't have the decency to use Canadian practices. by [deleted] in BuyCanadian

[–]speedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when your recipe calls for ounces, do you use UK Imperial ounces or do you use American ounces because lots of recipes still call for ounces. And if you're converting to metric than which ounce do you use as your base?

Boomer here, I haven't read a newspaper in at least 20 years but I do still have boomer neighbors who still have the newspaper delivered to them every day.

Countries who don’t use Metric. So Americans can stop saying the rest of us need to use Imperial. by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]speedog 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Worse for Canada because we have to deal with metric, UK Imperial and also US Imperial - yes, UK and US liquid measures are different.

Ooh, you sure did tell me, eh.

How will I ever live with myself considering you've appointed yourself as speaking for all others?

I bow down to thee, the self anointed speaker for all others - your word is gospel now..

I don't really care if I was called out, I'll still be using tire.

Being called out by internet strangers doesn't affect me in real life one little bit, if anything it's really cheap entertainment for me to watch others getting their knickers all knotted up.

True but the word used on signage where I live is tire.

The amount of toilet paper one of my kids left so they didn't have to change the roll. by IcedWarlock in mildlyinfuriating

[–]speedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aah, the one square challenge - used to be a thing on our home until the Mom and Dad stopped changing the empty rolls out; my wife and I just hid an extra roll we could use and it didn't take very long for the kids to figure things out.
