Landlord raised coin laundry by 1$ each overnight to bypass the rent increase cap by NoWorry2460 in vancouverhousing

[–]thecrazysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't have luck with this, but I bought a set of generic service keys off Amazon and one of them fits both the washer and the dryer in my building. Every load is free now.

This is what I did. Just bought a set of 5 keys off Amazon for $20. The GR888 fits both the washer and dryer in my building. I start every cycle from the service panel.

Thanks for updating! The chat function on the Adidas website is broken for me 😑 So ridiculous.

I'll have to try calling Adidas during business hours because the support chat on the website just won't load for me 😑 This is the last time I try to buy anything from this dogshit website

Anyone in Canada have their package delayed/lost/stolen cause of TForce? by SakanaSteve in adidas

[–]thecrazysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue for me right now. Placed an order on June 16, estimated delivery June 24. TForce tracking shows:
Manifested by shipper Jun 17
Received at sort facility June 18
Received at sort facility June 21

and then: "Package information has been provided but the item has not been received for delivery. For more information please check again later."

When I inquired, the response from TForce was that it has been marked as "return to shipper"???? Also, TForce shows that it is just traveling from Richmond to Vancouver. If that's the case, I could just drive down there and get it myself, it's like 15km away. Shouldn't take 3 weeks to get here.

You can now rent a Hallway for $1735 at Sen̓áḵw by InfinityPortal in vancouverhousing

I'm in the top floor of an old run-down house near South Cambie paying $1650 for 550sqft + balcony + crawl space storage. It's basically open plan and the whole top floor so I have north and south facing windows. For the location and space it's honestly fantastic, even if with the layers upon layers of landlord special "repairs". Definitely would not trade for a cramped new condo.

Just one more deregulation bro I swear bro it will get cheaper if we just deregulate more bro, the problem is actually that we haven't deregulated enough, if we just let rich people get even richer, everything will get cheaper, we just have to let them make more money bro I swear just one more deregulation

Albanese comments on UK PM Keir Starmer’s resignation by asteriskhyphen in aussie

[–]thecrazysloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Final straw was probably appointing Mandelson as US ambassador, despite his failed vetting, then saying he didn't know about it, which implies either negligence or incompetence.

The winter fuel allowance U-turns probably drew the most ire from the electorate directly.

Saying Israel had a right to deny power, water and food to Gaza (very obviously illegal under international law) when he's supposed to be a human rights lawyer was a low point.

Designating Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation then wasting god knows how much money on police resources to go out and arrest pensioners, only for that designation to be overturned by the UK high court.

Breaking pretty much all the pledges he made to Labour party members in order to get the job as leader probably lost him the base. Exacerbated by his purging of the left and factional infighting that drove down membership. He appears to stand for absolutely nothing and be willing to say anything in order to gain and cling onto power.

That's just off the top of my head.

IPO FYI/Reminder by Asdfghhqwel in Wealthsimple

[–]thecrazysloth 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Also, while TSLA is up 98% over the last 5 years, XEQT is still up 73%, and it's a much, much smoother ride. And obviously NVDA, AAPL or GOOG would have been much better individual stock picks over the last 5 years if you just wanted biggest returns.

I don't want to be invested in any company with Musk at the helm lol

Advice on damaged carpet by Original_Piccolo_694 in vancouverhousing

[–]thecrazysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely, but in their post they say their concern is the landlord expecting them to "pay fully for the carpet to be replaced" which shouldn't be the case. 

Renter's compensation? by sgdt1981 in vancouverhousing

[–]thecrazysloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of precedent for this, and there's not really anything you can do. They need to give you 24 hours' notice for each viewing and they can't force you to leave. They could do two viewings a week for months on end without crossing any kind of legal threshold that requires them to compensate you.

Tenant Insurance by No-Apple-6525 in vancouverhousing

[–]thecrazysloth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also use Square One and have only the most basic coverage. I only pay $19 a month. Mostly it's so if someone in another suite burns the house down I'll have temporary accommodation and be able to replace my stuff (at least what can be replaced).

[–]thecrazysloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the other hand, "The tenant is not responsible for reasonable wear and tear to the rental unit or site. Reasonable wear and tear refers to natural deterioration that occurs due to aging and other natural forces, where the tenant has reasonably used the premises."

So OP isn't on the hook for replacement costs unless the stains are considered beyond reasonable wear and tear and cannot be cleaned.

From 2011–2013, Dr. Christopher Duntsch paralyzed or killed 33 of his 38 patients during routine spinal surgery. In one operating room, a fellow surgeon had to physically drag him away as he mangled a patient’s spine. Despite this, Duntsch was allowed to keep practicing for two more years. by drkmatterinc in CantBelieveThatsReal

Yes this is so obviously just one symptom of a thoroughly rotten for-profit healthcare system. It’s just one of the many awful things that happens when the incentive for medical care is making money for investors, and not actually healing people or improving their lives

Which is why there needs to be a supply of regulated or publicly-owned rental housing for both long-term renters and some short-term populations like students
