    New?? U-Haul Policies

    That was the old policy many years ago, they also had a must be back in 90 minutes at one time. Back then we would actually just buy a 2X4 and then go move whatever we needed, in a rush, all for $20 plus the 2X4. Now (at least most locations, I can't say all) they just rent the vans with a 90...

    COVID and the housing market

    Here is an interesting Toronto semi: 44 Branstone Road--Asking 599K listed as-is but looks OKish in the pics with some minor flipper flags (so why as-is??). https://www.realtor.ca/real-estate/27656160/44-branstone-road-toronto-caledonia-fairbank-caledonia-fairbank Area is IMO not too bad, just...

    New?? U-Haul Policies

    More research... apparently they call this Truck Share 24/7. So that is the thing to watch out for. They require the app with tracking on and two of the following: Additional Contact - Will be Called & Verified Employment - Will be Called & Verified Relative's Information - Will be Called &...

    New?? U-Haul Policies

    My first thought is maybe it was about vehicle theft but all that BS is so easily defeated with a couple of "burner phones" and deleting the app right after getting the van... Then I thought for half a second who the hell wants to steal a U-Haul but it is common for thieves to use a stolen one...

    New?? U-Haul Policies

    It is (was for me now) a great location, across from Ikea, not far from Home Depot and Rona, finally right near a private transfer station. I am looking for a corporate email to complain. All I can find is call in or use one of those chat bots. I did a search and there seems to be like...

    New?? U-Haul Policies

    I attempted to rent a U-Haul van to move some stuff on Saturday. I reserved the van online but when I went to get it there appears to be some new policies that prevented renting it. So a heads up... They refused to serve me unless I downloaded their app. I said I don't have or want the app...

    GST/HST Holiday

    I expect the liberal playbook over the coming months... I am not sure Poilievre gets all of it. Attempt to stay in power until the inevitable dumpster fire just south of us. Blame the CPC and Poilievre for this bill not getting passed (filibuster), look they took money out of your hands at...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    There is a Tesla "dealer" on Dundas between Kipling and Eastmall across from the old/closed Honeydale Mall. The parking lot of the closed mall is totally jammed with Teslas. Are all these waiting for delivery?? It is not unusual for high volume dealers to have large offsite storage, but I am not...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Torque is what matters in this context... HP calculated from torque--the formula is HP = (Torque X RPM)/5252. HP might sell cars/trucks but.... That Cummins (without looking at the specs) likely makes ~2,000 lb.ft of torque and that much way down low and those HP numbers could be at 1600 rpm...

    GST/HST Holiday

    I imagine the problem is how often does one reprogram the POS, so each time it is like figuring it out for the first time... Maybe a good short-term side hustle, figure out a few of the top systems and offer it as a service to those small businesses?

    Tyson v Paul

    To be somewhat fair... Many realize that they don't have the acumen to mange their own money only to be ripped off by the person they trusted. Others spend like they are going to keep making what they made today tomorrow only to find out their career ends up being much shorter than expected...

    Quick Jack?

    I have one of the many "quick lift 3 ton floor jacks", at the time they sold what appeared to be the exact same jack under many different brands. Mine is Motomaster but my guess is they all are the same OEM with different brands and colours. Newer models now, same deal. They are heavy but it...

    Does the car you drive...

    The vehicle you drive absolutely says a lot about you like it or not. If you think it does not because you don't care what you drive...it says, about you, you don't care what you drive or it is just transportation--and there is nothing wrong with that BTW. But in many cases it can also say who...

    Christmas Gift Ideas 2024 Addition

    Getting a gift for your pet is about the joy of giving. I got our cat one of those electric flopping fish a few years ago. He didn't like it at first but I put a little catnip on it to get over the apprehension and now he loves it. Catnip is long gone but he plays with it constantly and lets me...

    Christmas Gift Ideas 2024 Addition

    Just a thread to bounce back and forth some ideas for Christmas Gifts... For me the kids always seem to be fairly easy to shop for as they have a pretty good idea of what they want. Shopping for the wife always seems to be difficult for me, trying to get something "thoughtful" off list...
