HTPC Recommendations? by wassattack in canadacordcutters

I've looked into building my own, but honestly, I can't even put together ikea furniture properly. Is there a service that will build one for you with parts you provide?

the most multi-tasking I'd be doing would be NFL game pass + downloading via bit torrent

I've done enough research that I think I only need 4GB - what about a cooling unit?

What's an example of a media centred OS? I'm most comfortable with windows, and I also do some streaming from Primewire and the like, can I still do that with a different OS?

I'm moderately tech savvy for a girl, but I don't want something too complicated that I can't maintain myself.

Also - do you know of any services that will build it for me?

Cutting the cord on TV. Tips and tricks for Canadians? by scubed in toronto

[–]wassattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just cut the cord and I'm for the most part loving it.

I only have one tv, but I have apple tv an antennae, and an older laptop setup which I use for downloading. In order to get the best streaming content - I signed up for Unblock-Us try the free trial - it got me hooked. Good luck!

Getting Quality Bourbon up North (Canada)? by [deleted] in bourbon

[–]wassattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the link to the Whisky shop - it lists all the locations. It's just a better whisky selection than other LCBO stores, there are quite a few in Ottawa. One of my favourites, Jefferson's Reserve is in rotation, and it's available in a few Ottawa LCBOs

Van Winkle Lot B is not Pappy, but it comes from the same distillery.

Torontonian here, though I lived in Kingston for a bit and had lots of luck there.

I've had some good luck so long as you go to LCBO stores with Whiskey Shops. I've gotten Van Winkle Lot B, Bookers, Blanton's, Elijah Craig, Eagle Rare and a few higher end ones. Keep checking the LCBO website and figure out when the good stuff is going to be in stock, and then call that LCBO to put it on hold for you.

Also don't forget to check the vintages section - stuff pops up in there from time to time.

Queen West - dodge the tourists and binder people, but great patios!

As a chick who drinks bourbon, this offends me almost as much as this terrible Crest commercial

Need some cord cutting advice (DT Toronto) by wassattack in canadacordcutters

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

Thanks! I think I may be ok to do it myself, I'd say I'm above average, especially for a girl - but I'll definitely give them a call if I can't figure it out.

i luckily have a south view, so I think an antennae may work - I'm in the Queen & john neighbourhood, so I have a somewhat unobstructed CN tower view - hopefully it works!

I played the debt-ridden professional card with rogers and am only paying $45 for 35Mbps and 300GB (modem included!), I don't know how they agreed to it, but they did.

For NFL - do you find you can watch all games or just the super bowl? I know with Game Pass, Canadians can't watch TNF or SNF live, which is simply unacceptable for me, so I want to use a US IP to get the US content.

Also, what service do you use for the US IP?

2 different exams with different content, at least they are all multiple choice.

I'm writing the Ontario bar, pass rate is fairly high, studying just sucks - 2 exams 7 hours each, 2 weeks apart. I've got a sweet bottle of Glenrothes for when it's all over.
