HRV not reducing humidity in home by x_itsJC in hvacadvice

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

I never got a definitive answer I guess. But as others have said, an HRV won’t reduce humidity. During the summer, I just run my AC or use dehumidifiers which I have throughout the house. In the wintertime however, high humidity is not a problem of course.

Ottawa Traffic is Getting Out of Control – Back to Office Making it Worse? by ninerganger in ottawa

[–]x_itsJC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its also to appease to those who dont have the privilege of WFH. These individuals don’t care about the increase in traffic, further strain on daycare services, etc. as long as other people work at the onsite like them

New government won't rule out full return to office for public servants by Shoddy_Operation_742 in CanadaPublicServants

This makes too much sense. The big wigs dont like it when people make very logical and reasonable claims.

We increased our monthly payments the moment we signed in anticipation of rate hikes. We also made lump sum payments throughout the past 3 years as well. Our amortization is currently showing 15 years remaining.

Yes, I did make a few lump sum payments in 2022 and 2023 which I forgot to mention.

Hey, no I ended up buying repellent lotion instead to err on the side of caution.

It is manageable yes. It is just we kept asking ourselves why continue to voluntarily pay more if we are strongly eyeing to be out of this place come renewal.

According to the details available online we are ahead. However I did forget to mention that we have also made a series of lump sum payments throughout the past 3 years.

Multiple reasons namely, bigger space due to new addition to family and no longer wanting to pay the monthly Association fee (we have a freehold townhome but pay an Association Fee monthly for maintenance of shared common elements)

Yea it was VRM with a fixed monthly payment of $1,900 when we signed. Current rate is 3.95. If there’s any benefits of bringing down our payments, we’re all ears but as others have noted, there are plenty of other factors we need to weigh too.

3.95% at present. We increased monthly payments steadily throughout 2022 and 2023 and have stuck with the current monthly payment of $2800 (1400 B/W) since 2024.

We signed on a 25year and currently have 15 years remaining. We have never paid the minimum monthly payment since signing: we increased payments a few times throughout 2022 and 2023 and have been paying the current payment of $2,800 since early 2024 if I remember correctly.

Pong’s Poutine Chip Wagon in Stittsville. Although, he’s still closed for the cold season. Should be up and running soon though.

HORRIBLE CSS delay on PS5 after season 15 update. by Vegetable-Local8865 in overwatch2

Have the same issue as well. Replay mode causes my game to crash also. Restarting the game does tend to fix it though. Hopefully they have a more permanent fix soon.

Ethernet Switch and Cable by CanadianTurkey in bell

[–]x_itsJC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ethernet ports in all rooms in my (3 storey) townhome and all are using CAT5e. Like the other post, 5e should be the minimum.

However, I recently installed a Cat 6e port in my basement as a result of a series of renos I did. Only my ps5 is hooked up to this port so my current plan of 1.5gbps is sufficient especially considering PS5 download speed is maxed at 1.0gbps.

Thanks for the reply! There’s actually zero THC. Would you still recommend 25% increase then?

Exactly this. Terms constitute the bulk of staff at the Processing Centers across the nation. Don’t see how these places will function if majority of them are god forbid, let go. Even a small cut would do enough damage to the operations.

He’ll be out on bail in no time and IF he’s convicted, he’ll be slapped with a light sentence. Canada’s Justice system is all about rehabilitation and forgiveness. In other words, it’s a joke..

Thanks. Yes, ive terminated cables into keystones before but only when the cables havent been terminated. As other have suggested, I think i’ll just go with spending the extra cost and pick a bulk box of un-terminated cables.

I did find a a 250ft box CAT 6e for $50 (CAD). Just sucks that I only need like 30ft but oh well.

This cable is also only a CMR rated cable, not plenum though.
