Everyone and their dog has a Canadian coffee they love and post here it seems but I'd argue Jacked-Up Jill is the best one. Manitoba roasted and owned, supports women's initiatives in MB. The owner travelled to the places she sources her beans from and buys from co-ops, etc. She has been and usually is in direct contact with the sources of her beans so she can stand behind her product personally.

Not sure if this counts as the material is sourced from overseas but it's Winnipeg owned and operated. Their Luxe line is the most comfortable clothing I own. They also take part in social and local initiatives.

I have broad shoulders and I find their Luxe clothing just fits better than the cheap off the rack stuff. On the zip and the long-sleeve I did have to size up from an xl to xxl

I've been perusing this community and it seems invite requests make up half or more of the posts. That said, it seems its the best way to get an invite. Anyone have one they could share with me? Thanks!

So, a very kind person helped set me up with Usenet and while I understand some of it, some of it goes above my head. This person, set me up with buying TB blocks. So far, it has worked well. I try and buy them for $10USD when they go on sale but I missed the last one and I'm running out. They're $45usd regular!

My wife and I watch a lot of weekly recurring shows so it adds up quick. Between that and movies I probably go through a couple TB/year.

They have some unlimited plans though but I'm not familiar with some of the "perks".

Here's what I'm looking at

Any insight would be great.

Thanks!

Any info on getting content from Hoopla or Kanopy? I have a library membership but it is limited in use.

Hello all,

I'm a huge amateur when it comes to this stuff (I had a guy hold my hand on the phone and walk me through this) but I use Newsgroupdirect and buy blocks when they go on sale.

Is there a better group to do this from (or cheaper). I'm happy here but I saw an article that had some different places listed and it got me thinking.

Which group do you use?

I may be asking for a unicorn here but I've recently discovered that Lego does Christmas Village sets. I'm trying to get a few to do with my family and some of the ones I want are retired. People on Kijiji want $100 over the original price and I'm wondering if there is a better avenue to find these that doesn't support this system of buying sets and selling them sealed at the cost of my left one.

I don't really care if it's used, I just want to start a fun new tradition with my kids.

Alternatively, do retired sets come back into circulation again?

(I cross posted this on Plex too)

I'm looking to create an easy solution that is child/wife friendly. I'm hoping to get a set up going without internet. I however would like it to run like a Chromecast with plex.

I was thinking of a

Dell Optiplex 3020M Mini PC USFF, running windows 10

An external hard drive with content.

From here is where I have gaps. Could I set up a plex server offline on the device, with plex media player and use an Flirc remote with pre-programmed buttons?

Essentially, I'm trying to create the experience of watching Netflix on a Chromecast but with plex and a pc remote control of some sort (with pre-programmed buttons that load up content so kid and wife only have to press one or two buttons to get to their shows)

Thanks!

I bought a computer off Kijiji that was from someone who builds them for cheap. I bought it for a plex server.

I recently did a hard drive check, and the hd is getting spotty.

I did a check for windows license and it says it's "retail" with a partial key. I was thinking of buying a new SSD to put in but how do I get a windows key now?

I'm somewhat computer minded but this one I've never dealt with. (I also have no interest in installing Linux right now)

Thanks!

I had the previous model but loaned it to a student, who had it stolen from them.

I'm trying to get my hands on the EB-P3300XJEGWW or EB-PU300XJEGWW 25w power bank but they don't sell it in Canada (that I can find). Is there an alternative powerbank that will charge my GW4 and my S23? Or is there someone in the US near the border who can ship me one?

Thanks!

Hello!

I was wanting to move my washing machine and dry to a different part of the laundry room. It's all open ceiling so my thought was to run the cold/hot/drain hoses up the wall about 3ft, then across the ceiling about 5ft and then down another 3 ft to the sink to drain (or in the case of the taps, get the hot and cold)

I was going to use pex to get the water to where it needs to be.

Is this too far? Will the washer still be able to drain at that length? Can it drain up like that first?

Thanks!
