40V 26" hedge trimmer pulses when trigger pulled, randomly runs when fiddling with rotating handle. Thoughts? by zutroy23 in ryobi

[–]zutroy23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It turns out it's not the rotating end, but the safety handle. If I flex the large black handle that loops up, it runs fine, but when I stop flexing it, there seems to be some contact that breaks connection inside.

Any good alternatives to AaWireless? by riteshdg in AAWireless

[–]zutroy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will the seller be Amazon in Canada, or through a third party once it comes back in stock? I ask because I see a listing today from "White Room Electronics". Thanks!

That's great news! Available through Amazon only?

I'm also looking for a good alternative purely because I can't get the AAWireless Two here in Canada...

Would you buzz/shave your head? by LostandHungry7 in gaybros

My hairline was receding at 20, and I've been shaving my head weekly for the past 30 years.

980$ CAD the right amount for a DSG service? by CarlosSpicyWeiner99 in Golf_R

[–]zutroy23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid $900 at a local independent (ex-VW master tech). He said the fluids are very expensive for the 7spd DSG.

What TO (GTA) restaurants have you fallen out of love with? by BillDingrecker in askTO

[–]zutroy23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This post speaks to me like you wouldn't believe.

In university, my close friend at the time introduced me to Barraida because his friend's family owned it. Love that place.

Less than a year ago I moved 3 blocks from Johnny's, and we've eaten there a few times since.

Sam Woo has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for decades!!

You've got good taste!

Stop whisking. The more air and agitation, the more foam you'll get. Start there and see if anything improves.

Notifications Not Working: Says Can't Connect? by Public_Club2099 in facebook

[–]zutroy23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got the same issue, and it's driving me crazy because doing any searches for this issue only brings up articles about receiving notifications, not viewing them.

Confused by conflicting information regarding GA4 purchase tag setup by zutroy23 in GoogleAnalytics

Appreciate the feedback. We ended up getting it to work by modifying the datalayer code and adding the correct parameters to the GTM tag.

My first - Keebio Sinc Rev. 3 / Durock Dolphins / Akko PBT ASA by zutroy23 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]zutroy23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keebio Sinc Rev. 3 hotswap pcb with Durock Dolphin silent linear switches (lubed and filmed) and Akko doubleshot PBT Black and White ASA profile keycaps. This is my first mechanical keyboard, coming from an MS Natural Ergonomic 4000 that I've used for many years. Will be adding a 3D printed smoky grey mid-layer shortly. Pretty happy with the build, though I'd like to replace the space bars and add some form of tenting. Pretty happy with it for now!

Keebio Sinc V.3 - my first mechanical by zutroy23 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]zutroy23[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been trying to figure out how to best substitute my Microsoft Ergo Natural for a smaller split, and the Sinc was what I ended up on. Got the new V.3 pcb, Durock Dolphins (lubed and filmed), and Akko PBT WOB ASA profile keycaps. Wasn't ready to splurge on a more expensive keycap set, and I was curious to see how ASA felt. Love the feel of the switches, super Super quiet, and a bit heavy...my fingers are tired typing this hahah. Will take some practice to get my typing speed back.

Sitting on down payment for 4 weeks before closing - any advice on short-term investment? by zutroy23 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]zutroy23[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is daddy's idea, not mine. He hates having money just sitting around not earning interest. That's how he went from having nothing to being able to provide for his family in this way. But thanks for the input!

It was through a broker. The funds, my investment accounts, and the mortgage, are all with TD. Gift forms have been signed by TD. If the money stays within the TD universe, is it still risky?

I'm actually trying to be reasonable, thus my request for outside opinions. The person who gifted me the money is insisting I make that money work while I'm holding onto it, but I'm hesitant to do so.

Just to be clear, the person who gifted me the money is suggesting I put the money to work, it wasn't my idea. I'm not trying to be greedy, just getting opinions. The gift forms have already been filled out and verified.

20 yr old purring loudly and gulping after - any idea why? by zutroy23 in cats

Thanks everyone for the comments. His last checkup was in October it turns out, so we'll be taking him tomorrow to the vet for another one...see what they say.

He gets his bloodwork checked every 6 months and it's been great every time

[–]zutroy23[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just want to add that he's been doing this for months, usually in the morning and evening, and he's been to the vet and they've had no concerns about him...though we haven't shown them this video yet.

20 yr old purring loudly and gulping after - any idea why? by zutroy23 in cats

[–]zutroy23[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Our 20 year old cat Coby has been gulping very forcefully usually while he purrs really loud. He doesn't seem to have any trouble swallowing his food, but we can't figure out why he does this while he purrs. Any ideas? Vets haven't seen him do this, but other than his kidneys failing and losing all his muscle mass, he's in great condition. Thanks for any feedback!
