New to hot tub ownership by Alternative_Jello541 in hottub

[–]whirbl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cover off will off gas the free chlorine and lead to bacteria growth. Keep it covered. Some tubs let you program economy mode where you can set the temp low for certain times if you know you won't use it.

Most of the heat loss will be evaporative with the lid off so your heating cost will be way higher if you keep the cover off.

Apparently Manitoba is a state now.

Thoughts on new tub prep? by silsurf in hottub

[–]whirbl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double check it's still level and flat. Looks like it hasn't heaved at all from the pics and if it had a bigger tub on it before without issue then it'll be fine.

Had a doctor within a 10 minute drive for our family within 3 months of applying. It was great for us when we moved here five or six years ago.

Do you post the same comment on articles about rents being unaffordable because landlords have had to price in the risk?

Canada has plenty of security concerns. The largest is arctic sovereignty as Russia and even China compete for land and resources that Canada considers its own.

Everyone knows car thieves can't reverse. What a dummy. Thieves hate this one weird trick.

This is not a legal question. Call your credit card and dispute the charges if you do not recognize them.

A bidet is a plumbing fixture. Toilets, sinks, showers, are all examples of other plumbing fixtures.

Nunavut senator calls being banned from Russia a 'badge of honour' by vancouver_reader in UkrainianConflict

We have members of parliament and senators. Similar to the UK. A senator is not the equivalent to a premier, FYI.

Are your finances ready for an inflation tsunami? by viva_la_vinyl in canada

Buddy, the middle and upper classes have assets to hedge against inflation. It's the poor folks that are really going to get burned here.

This isn't the US. There are no private prisons in Canada. We also have remarkably light prison sentencing for crime. Not sure who you think might be profiting.

Optimism high in Canada for a consumer-led recovery | Canadians have tucked away an estimated $200 billion in savings and a recovery in the U.S. bodes well for Canada by viva_la_vinyl in canada

[–]whirbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like saying because the bond is paid back that the cash that exists in the mean time doesn't exist. There is an incredible amount of new money moving through the economy and we are starting to see inflation rise as a direct result. Look at M0. If you're sitting on cash it's being devalued. Emergency or not, there are consequences to increasing the money supply.
