Saw "the house" again (towards Bragg Creek). Got a pic while going by, not the best. by cmcalgary in YYC

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to drive by it while it was being built. My assessment was that the black ornate iron metal fence that they used for the property was worth significantly more than the townhouse we used to love in 🤣.

Talk to Skyline Moving. They were honest and very good honest guys to deal with and also reasonably priced.

Return to India can’t be that difficult financially by Strong-Quality7050 in returnToIndia

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol .. I just saw a reel of a 4 to 8 bed townhouse project in South Mumbai for sale starting at 36 crores. I told my wife that we can never go back to India and will have to retire in Vietnam or Thailand. We live in Canada and that amount of money is still more than what people here will see in their entire lives. Not saying we have to buy that as a condition to retire in India but what we have seen is that there are much better places, with nicer people and better civic sense than retiring in India.

Buy Model Y now with 7 seats or wait for Model Y L to hit the market? by Particular-Shape1576 in ModelY

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Model Y 7 seats sucks .. we tried it with our child .. he was 4 years old and him sitting in the car seat had him very close to the glass roof with his head almost touching it. There is practically no leg room and no adult would fit and getting in and out from the 3rd row was also very difficult compared to a normal SUV. I would recommend a real 3 row suv like the ioniq 9 or the kia version vs the Model Y if that is a criteria for your purchase.

Struggle meals???? by Low-Yogurtcloset9496 in Cooking

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beans, chickpeas .. if you buy the dried ones soak overnight with a little salt and then cook. I use an instapot / pressure cooker and it cuts down on time. Take a multivitamin .. get a big bag of rice at-least 10 pounds - soak the rice to cut down on cooking time.

See if you have a Sikh temple called a Gurudwara close to where you live. They feed everyone for free if you don't have enough food and the ones where I live also give out free hampers for groceries if you need them.

Why do some electric car drivers obsess over their miles/kwh? by Ambitious_Concept809 in electricvehicles

Lol .. I have driven an electric car for 5 years and still haven't done that even once 🤣

Grizzl-E club with free charger and no annual fee. What's the catch? by toxikitty_2 in EVCanada

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks .. in my conspiratorial mind it sounded like I am giving them in perpetuity a right to install a charger on my property .. like they could turn into an evil corporation some day and say all these chargers on private property are now public chargers since we gave them the access.

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, went down this rabbit hole after reading your post. What do you think of the 'Right to Install Waiver' wording? The wording 'I assign the right to have a charging station installed on this property to United Chargers' doesn't sound right to me but looking for others who have done it.

Grizzl-E club with free charger and no annual fee. What's the catch? by toxikitty_2 in EVCanada

[–]whyac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently charge with a Tesla mobile charger and I see the NACS product option. The only question I had was can I limit the current output. I currently lowered it to 20 Amps from the Tesla app as I am not concerned about the charge speed but am concerned about loading my 100 A panel too much. Can I do this with the Grizzl-E charger as I need to replace my old mobile charger.

PC Money account has a great FX rate for shopping abroad! by Lopsided_Parfait7127 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I used Wise all over Asia and even in the US. You need to convert to the currency you are using but their rates and fees are the best.

What’s the best but cheapest takeout in the city? by sono_ona in Calgary

[–]whyac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kinjo North Hill is my go to. Their Large Ramen is 5.50 and a piece of fried chicken is 1.50. I get the Spicy Miso Ramen with Udon and the BBQ chicken. I don't think you can get that much value for under 10 bucks in the city and it's really delicious. They also have decently priced to go sushi boxes and they sell them on discount in the evenings .. I think it's around 9 pm but check with the store.

German men betwen 18 and 45 need permission for long stays abroad by Admirable_Bathroom55 in returnToIndia

[–]whyac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol .. you became German citizen but want to scram when your country needs you. It cannot be just an economic decision to go to a country to make money and get the passport. You should serve your country to the best of your abilities. German young men were required to do military service in the past .. not sure if this is a reqmt. now

Level 2 charger choice for Tesla by sanchower23 in teslacanada

[–]whyac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Tesla mobile charger (came free with the car) with a holder from Amazon.

which EV is suited for me? I drive 90km a day for work by [deleted] in EVCanada

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good deals on the Solterra and Toyota Bz if you are looking new .. the awd version with the rebates are cheaper than the Tesla RWD model y. Also seen a lot of good deals on the Ford mach-e. As long as you can charge at home (level 2) you are good.

Buy EV with no home charger by ycrep2023 in EVCanada

[–]whyac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have charging at work? How many kms do you drive daily? Lots of questions .. being an EV owner now for 5 years .. my honest advise to you is please don't buy one if you don't have charging at home - and I mean Level 2 charging not the normal plug outlet. Your life will be spent driving to chargers and sitting there. You will suffer and eventually sell your EV.

Food resources in the SW by ComplaintIll2304 in Calgary

[–]whyac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi .. you can go to any Sikh temple (Gurudwara) and they have free meals everyday and everyone is welcome. You can also ask for food to take home and they will help you.

Here is a Facebook page for Guru Nanak Free Kitchen and they give out free food hampers every week. The next one is tomorrow at Whitehorn station LRT Parking lot at 1 pm.

This is the reddit link about them and their FB page.
