Pretty sure it's an 04-08 Maxima. According to Wiki, it is called a Skyview window and was standard, while a more traditional sunroof was optional.

Whatsapp backs up your chat to an email automatically every day at 2 or 3am. You can restore your account through there if you put your email in and it should restore to the last back up?
Settings > Chats > Chat Back up
I manually changed my back up settings to monthly because i dont care about maintaining chats lol. But i think default should be daily or weekly.

This only works from within the same OS. There's no real option to switch between Android to iOS.
I did see some 3rd party options searching through Google but they looked sketchy so I didn't end up using them.

Any RS sponsors doing a Christmas toy drive?
Jesus Christ, I have this sign up on my front door that reads, "No Agents, Pedlars, or Soliciting." This morning, I get a knock on the door. I rush down to answer it and it's these two women who were trying to push religious literature on me. I say nothing and point at the sign on the door. One of them says, "We are not soliciting. We are simply pointing you to god." I stay calm............ take three deep breaths and say, "Aren't you agents of god? I am a Buddhist and don't want to be convinced that your god is the answer to any of my problems."
I did, however, say, "god bless," as they left, with as much of a troll smile on my face as I could manage.
I get it. Your religion forces you to push your beliefs on to others, because you want to save them from damnation. Thank you, but no thank you.
If I were to chose a religion, I will choose one that would allow me the freedom to find my own path in life. Worshipping one god and saying all others are false - no thanks. Amen and god bless..........

Question for the locals here regarding the recent MJ laws, do you still need a medical card to purchase MJ or just to anyone over 19? I was walking downtown recently and saw vendors selling out in the open by the art gallery and i was pretty shocked by it.
(I was out of the country for almost two years so I'm not sure how the law is now)

It's pretty lax now. During the summer, I walked into one, presented my ID and received their member card. I paid for my purchase with a credit card, and was out the door in less than 10 min.

My girlfriend struck up a conversation with one of them at the Sky Train station a few months back. Turns out many of them are sent up here from Salt Lake City, Utah. They work for a few months, and head home, and a new group comes up. Very strange that Mormons have the capital to conduct such a campaign in various cities.

^Heh, The Church of Latter Day Saints is fucking loaded man. All Mormons are required to pay a % of their income to the church.
I just went to Salt Lake City last month and their organization is run like a corporation. They've got a huge shiny office building in the middle of SLC, not to mention they own blocks of the downtown core. Their Temple Square is like a Mormon theme park where girls (yes all teenage - 20ish girls) stand around and strike up conversations with anyone that walks by.
We took a 1/2 hour tour of Brigham Young's house with a two of these guides - one was from Korea and the other from Virginia. At the end of the tour they did the hard sell with Mormonism and offered us a free Book of Mormon. We just said...err no thanks we don't believe in God and headed out on our way. :fullofwin:
A bit scary but mostly harmless as far as I can tell. Most of them are just young and impressionable I suppose.
Many of the ones in Vancouver I think are Jehovah's Witnesses...not the same as Mormons

Has anyone applied for a replacement citizenship certificate?
Trying to help my dad apply for one since he misplaced the old one. It's such a pain in the ass since it asks for extremely specific information.
The application asks for information related to my dad's parents such as their citizenship number, date of marriage, etc, which my dad doesn't have or know. Doesn't help that they passed away like two decades ago.
Man, the application even starts off asking "Have you ever had a certificate of Canadian citizenship or naturalization? If yes, give information on the certificate." Fuck, I'm applying for a replacement because I've fucking lost the old one, why would I have it?!

Give CIC a call, they are quite helpful although getting to an actual person is a pain.
And for the future, keep a copy of it somewhere. I keep scans of all important docs on dropbox and also certified true copies of things that I use often (my son's birth certificate for example) but I don't want to lose them.

Just giving a run down of what Katt is saying. I'm guessing this is "known" lore in Hollywood behind closed doors.
Chappelle was known as "pilot boy" for putting out so many pilots that corporate passed over. Once he finally blew up / made them(CC) $500M corporate tried to come back and change the terms of how Chappelle would be paid. What's interesting and I've never heard before is Katt basically gives a run down of the alleged meeting where they told Chappelle their plan.
When he reacted with a "wtf" like most of us would with someone trying to take all the revenue from something we created, they told him they would invalidate him/smear him in the public eye and make him look like a junky crackhead.
So Dave said fuck all of you and hopped on a plane to Africa and they lost all the revenue they would have got from another season. The stoic and internal ethics minded power play if I'm commenting myself. Also having worked on $10 Billion+ for corporate I don't doubt this is true for a second.
It's amazing what people can say/do behind closed doors because to fully make the public care or even understand what they're doing is a mountain of a task. When I had my personal exit from corporate after working on hush hush stuff most people in my personal life treated me like a crazy person. To the point where I stopped telling people/trying to relate what happened.
It's telling how intelligent Dave is that he knew to just leave rather than try to take on an industry by himself. With the idea this stuff would eventually come to the light of day and the public would learn the truth slowly.

If it's a basic phone app and only picks up Asian people. Good way to make a respected company name for yourself! If the fines are 1150$ each I don't see why they don't have people ordering car after car after car at different locations and every time one shows up and takes them for a ride just hand them a lovely fine.
I'm happy with Uber as I've used it in the past in different countries but the only down side I see with it is the potential creeps who can sign up and pick up drunk women on Granville st on weekends. Pick up a good looking girl, find out where they live, stalk them a bit. Look up their names and try to add them to Facebook, Instagram and other forms of social media that they can creep them on.

I'm not worried if a person wants to stalk me. They'll be pretty bored while doing it once theyvsee that I love a boring life lol. I'm more worried about vulnerable women who are half passed out on the ride.
Add a little edit here. I rarely drink so I'm usually the free uber for my friends lol. Those rare times I do drink I'll only have a few

Need some help with DVD technology. Parents are asking me to help them make a replicate copy of one of their karaoke discs. The original is a DVD9. I'm so out of it... lol, do they even sell DVD's any more?
From my limited research, I think a DVD9 means it's a Dual Layer disc. Is that different from DVD+R DL (Or DVD-R DL)?
And is there a preferred disc type to use for Karaoke in case there are compatibility issues for the Karaoke machine?
I also have double sided single layer DVD disc. But not sure if I can use those to copy a single side dual layer disc....

It's been a while since I've had to rip a DVD so some of my info might be outdated now. I used to use an app called DVDFab Decrypter. It could also compress the video to fit on a DVD5 if you didn't have a DVD9. As for media types (DVD+R vs DVD-R), it generally doesn't matter but you probably want a higher quality disc if you want it readable in most players.
A double sided DVD might be a bit more of a pain to use (because you'd have to flip the disc) but if that's all you have, you might as well just use it rather than go out and buy another spindle of discs. Try DVDFab and compress it to fit on a single DVD5 if you've got more of those. Since it's not HD quality content, I double most people would notice the difference.

Sorry of this question has been beaten to death on the forums, but I'm looking for a cell phone provider that strikes a balance between "inexpensive" and "network quality that doesn't suck". Currently I have the 1GB + 500 Canada-wide minutes/$40 plan from Virgin Mobile and I'm looking to save money on my cell phone bill. I don't need any data actually, so I can skip any voice + data plans, but a healthy amount of minutes (preferably Canada-wide since one of my close friends has a 613 number) and texts allotted would be nice.

UPDATE: Third Party Liability pricing for policies effective Feb. 1, 2018
Thursday, January 04, 2018
In September 2017, ICBC announced that additional optional rate changes may be needed in 2018 and would be implemented on a quarterly basis.
As previously announced, quarterly increases will be an average of 2.2%, to a maximum of 9.6% for the year. Individual policy rates will depend on the age of the vehicle, value and use of a vehicle, and where it is being driven. For an average driver, this is an annual blended increase between basic and optional of 8%, or $130.
Some customers with policies renewing in early February 2018 have received renewal reminders which include a quote for optional Third Party Liability (TPL) coverage that is different from what is showing in ICBC systems. These renewal reminders do not include the optional rate adjustment which will take effect for TPL on February 1, 2018.
The correct rates are in ICBC systems and policies issued (APV250s) have correct premiums. Renewal reminders effective February 11 forward are being generated with correct premiums.
We appreciate this may result in more questions from customers and have prepared some points to help with those conversations.
•Your renewal reminder from ICBC is an estimate.
•It may also not include recent rate changes.
•Final pricing is confirmed when you come in to renew since there can be changes to coverage or drivers.
•There have been recent changes to optional rates. Each customer will be affected differently depending on the level of optional coverage you purchase and other factors used to set premiums.
•Optional insurance rates are increasing due to more crashes, injuries and the cost of these claims.

maybe someone in the restaurant industry can explain what happened with bills split by the POS system.
8 ppl eating, sharing some appetizers and having their individual entrees. I'm assuming the server originally rung everything in by seat number, but had to make changes when the final bills needed to be split between 7 ppl cuz 1 person was getting a free dinner.
Looking at 3 of the bills I see that 1 is inconsistent with extra portions for the shared items. Maybe these examples will better explain it.
Bill 1
Individual entree
Shared appy1 0.15
Shared appy2 0.15
Shared free dinner 0.15
Bill 2
Individual entree
Shared appy1 0.15
Shared appy2 0.15
Shared free dinner 0.15
Bill 3
Individual entree
Shared appy1 0.15
Shared appy2 0.15
Shared free dinner 0.15
Shared appy1 0.15
Shared appy2 0.15
Shared free dinner 0.15
The server fixed the inconsistency and everyone's bill said this
Individual entree
Shared appy1 0.15
Shared appy2 0.15
Shared free dinner 0.15
but everyone's amount due changed, Bill 1 and 2 went up, Bill 3 went down.
I'm hoping someone could shed some light on why 1 bill had extra shares, and in the end the same listed item on the bill ended up in different amounts due.
For a split second, I thought this was going to be one of those "Ate cold pancakes at iHop," stories. Thank god it isn't, gulolol.

If someone lets me cut in, I used to put my right hand up to say thanks, but that was way back, before I tinted my back window.

When I was on a road trip, some of the truckers put on their hazards to let me know when it was safe to cross the broken yellow line to overtake them. Then I'll go around them and flash my hazard to say "thanks".

Was there for that time I found it was easier to bring just the essentials in my backpack and then buy stuff as I needed. I think I originally brought a few pairs of shorts and shirts, a light rain jacket, foot wear and toiletries. 1 carry on backpack makes everything easier not having to worry about lost luggage and once you're off the plane you can make a clean getaway from the airport.

At the Davos event, where U.S. President Trump sold America as a low-tax nation open for investment, Trudeau offered a down-with-corporations speech dedicated to genderism, diversity and intersectionality. “We have to recognize that aspects of intersectionality are always at play and require special attention,” he said. “Here’s an example: In 2016, among women who were newly appointed to the boards of Fortune 500 companies, 77 per cent of them were white. Race, religion, sexuality, socioeconomic status — these are just a few of the ways that women are even further discriminated against.”

NCIX bankruptcy auction.
Like every auction, people are going to be stupid and bid way over what the shit is worth. Maybe the dumbass noobs will stay away on this one.
I have never had a positive experience with these people. There's no logic to their logistics.

How many times does it have to go from Ottawa to Montreal back to Ottawa again? To be sent to Montreal again.........
For those who would like an update. They have no idea what happened to the item.
I've now called them (pur-oh-later) three times. First call was pleasant, second one was, I couldn't understand a thing he said (accent as thick as a black man's finger - no shit, he sounded like what murd0c's avatar would sound like), and the third call was too much english, as in very heavy British accent. Sounded like the Queen of England. Being an Empire Loyalist, I understood clearly.
Anyway, it has them baffled. They assigned a team of specialists to track down the item. Well, Best Buy promised me 10% off my next purchase. I'll just cancel this one, order another one and get it for 10% less. I hope this happens over and over again so I can get the item for free, gulolol. I'm in no hurry to get it, but talk about incompetence. If it weren't for the gift cards (Xmas presents) I used, I would have got the item elsewhere.
at least with UPS, I would get it delivered like this........

Most clocks on electronic devices change on their own, but it's a bit of a pain when you have pesky analog clocks and non-GPS/wireless enabled digital clocks and watches to deal with, but the benefits far outweigh the tiny, tiny bit of inconvenience caused by having to reset clocks.
Also, those who say it causes accidents and whatnot, it's only one hour. If it affects your life that much, then you've got bigger issues.
Like Bill Good on News 1130 stated. Never went to bed late or partied too hard? Shit happens everyday. I think it's because it is planned and scheduled that it screws everyone up. It's all in your head. Good thing they do it early on a Sunday, so all you suffer from is being late for Sunday School, :troll:
Anyway, like GS8 said. Enjoy the extra hour of daylight. It should be 6:22 right now, but at 7:22, it's light outside............. "time" to do some gardening.

It's a loophole, but not a simple one to take. You need a BC address to have a BC plate/insurance coverage. Not to mention ICBC could deny claim if it doesn't comply with its declaration (the car is parked mostly in the address declared, as it determines the insurance premium).
But if the guy is desperate enough to get a R34 10years before it can be legally admitted in the US, all the powers to him.

Sask. professor receives threats over upcoming talk on 'whiteness' at Ontario university - Saskatchewan - CBC News (http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/saskatchewan/sask-professor-threats-whiteness-talk-1.4571723)
An assistant professor of education at the University of Regina is facing widespread backlash to a talk he is giving Monday titled It's Okay to be (Against) White(ness).
According to the event's Facebook page, "Whiteness is an academic term for the ideologies that describe the practices, beliefs, habits and attitudes that enable the unequal distribution of power and privilege based on skin-colour."
"This event is not discussing problems with white people, it is discussing whiteness as an idea," said Lindsay Yates, the TCSA ethical standards commissioner via email. "Whiteness is a set of privileges that those of us who present as white have access to.

I think the R34 is banned entirely from the US? Either way their ICBC coverage is most likely invalid if they're keeping it down there.

Only those imported by Motorex. R34 imported and registered in BC or CDN plated can be legally driven into the US.
The ICBC thing is a bit grey. Assuming the guy has a permanent address here somehow, and would drive back to BC every now and then, it's hard for ICBC to deny coverage as their policy covers both CA and US.
It would only be plausible for ICBC to deny converage if the guy has no proof of permanent address, only an address of convenience and only ever drive it back to renew the insurance (which he has to be pretty stupid to do that).
At least that's what I know from exp. Have a cousin who went into the US for work (temporary atm) and he only drives it back for visit. Everything is chill with ICBC (he did file a report with ICBC saying that the car would be there while he works)

I was referring to importing one once they're 25 years old, I was under the impression that all R34s are perma-banned from US registration.

I would imagine there's a limit to how long you can "temporarily" be down there for work or school. At minimum you'd need to inform ICBC like your cousin did but I doubt many people do.

Now that I re-read my previous msg... I dunno wtf I was thinking. Probably the lack of caffeine :fuckthatshit:
There ARE MotoRex imported R33/34 legal in the US. But it was more like a pardon to MotoRex screwup and avoid further legal problem with those owners who got a R33/34 prior to the Motorex downfall if these guys were crazy enough to pay the premium for the right to own R33/34, they would take US custom to court if they decide otherwise.
Read https://jalopnik.com/here-s-how-people-illegally-import-cars-to-the-united-s-1685247358
Nevertheless, there still IS way to legally register a R34... as kit cars. A wealthy client that I used to work with did exactly that. He bought a R34 NISMO in Japan, took it apart down to pieces, imported everything and hired/flew a group of NISMO technicians (I think a group of 3 people) and basically put the car back together in one piece.
A very costly loophole to go through with... but when one has more money than brain, they do whatever the fuck they want. :D
It was facinated to talk to him on this though... he has this deep passion for Skylines... even had THE PGC10 (supposedly, I didn't see it. Although I did see the R34 in his ranch)

Casino's in Washington
I used to cross the border and go to Washington to go down to the silver reef/skajit casino years ago with a friend at night to waste time on nights we had nothing to do. Head there at 9-10pm and come back a few hours later when we get bored. We'd usually stop off at a 24/7 walmart afterwards to go on a binge junk food spree since one of us would drink the whole time and the other driver. We were thinking about doing it again but just looking at some maps we can't find that walmart anymore. The one we think is it is only open until midnight now. Is there any other 24/7 places around that you guys know of that would be on the way back?

How often do you guys call out assholes on public transit?
I usually just ignore it, but just yesterday I was getting on the train in rush hour, and there is a nice line formed, as there usually is. These two kids, maybe ~16yo, were at least 10 people deep into the line, so as soon as the doors open, they literally step out of the line and dash straight into the train, cutting everyone else off and forcing their way passed even the people who are still trying to get off. To top it off, when I get in the train, they’re sitting in the handicap/elderly seats giggling to each other.
Younger me wanted to call them out publically for being assholes, older me couldn’t be bothered.. what do you guys normally do?

For those in HVAC, I got a quick question with my water heater.
Came home to find out that the hot water is not working. I check the water heater and the pilot light and burner fire is off.
I can get the pilot light on no problem (takes a couple tries sometimes) and it stays on. But the moment I turn the temperature dial to let more gas through, the burner fire grows and then subsequently dies taking out the pilot with it.
I did some reading on thermalcoupler, but I think that's only an issue if the pilot light doesn't ignite.
Manual says that when the pilot lights, but burner will not stay lit, that the combustion shutoff system has been tripped and to contact a qualified service technician.
The air intake vents are non-obstructed, so I think that's ok. I took out the burner and found that it was quite rusted with flakes on top. I did some research and it seems to be due to condensation. Cleaned it thoroughly and vacuumed the other flakes inside and it the burner still doesn't stay on.
Do you think that this is possible to fix by myself? I'm going to Home Depot tomorrow to check, but I think I might end up buying a new one. I found out that it was installed in 08/2006 so it's getting there.
What happens is pretty much like the video below.

It's been raining hard the last few days. Maybe there's a problem up on the roof. Clogged or woodpeckers got to the vent cover.

We ended up turning it back on today, but there was a strong gas smell.
Fortis came by and there was no leak around the water heater, just a small leak from the furnace beside it. He said we didn't know about it for years, so that wasn't likely the cause.
The guy thinks something is dead nearby or in the vents because it's not the smell of gas. Possibly mice? Never had an issue with them before so this is surprising.
I'm not sure if there is a drain under the water heater, maybe sewer gas is coming up from there? Might explain why the heater was going off as well?
I'll probably switch the water heater out in a couple of days since it's not an urgent issue and ask the installers.
I hope all you guys out there have Carbon Monoxide detectors installed in your residence. This thread just made me think about it. A lot of smoke detectors nowadays pull double duty and have Monoxide detectors built in. One day, it'll save your life.

Are bathroom fans considered common property that strata would handle?
I live in a condo, and I need to replace one of our bathroom fans. It appears that I need to access into the crawl space above the ceiling, which I don't have access to.
you probably just need the motor replaced and not the housing.
find the model number of the fan and order a motor replacement. its a few screws and a plug in electrical connection and your done.
i am a electrical contractor and i have changed many.

They do but CO detectors are most effective when mounted at 5-6’ so if you have the option to get one plugged in around face height please do so.

The only problem is smoke goes up and CO goes down. It'd be better than nothing but for $35 I don't see a reason not to have one.
The ones I have are plug in types that I have plugged in at standard receptacle height.

Wtf do you guys use on you everyday shoes for water proofing. I'm a Calgarian who has no idea about water proofing. I got a new pair of LA Coste shoes, applied the usual silicone based spray, but am wondering if there is any thing better. I think I've gotten over the fact that the shoes WILL get wet given how much it rains, but is there any tried and tested water proofing methods that you guys could suggest. Mink oil? Regular application of silicone based spray?

Just used some of my tax return to buy the 12" Dyson desk fan. $100 off on clearance from Canadian Tire.

Yes, but argument is still the same that BC is bearing the environmental cost and not getting any benefits out of it. BC is able to raise taxes for themselves.

LOL I found this when I googled Connor Howell: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChapoTrapHouse/comments/8br5kv/virginia_tech_white_supremacist_connor_howell/
My friend literally beat the piss out of Connor Howell and it was one of the greatest things to happen in high school.
I’m from the town next to his hometown , Oakton,VA. Connor has a fucking MOUTH on him like you wouldn’t believe. I’m not even talking about cursing, I’m talking about verbally abusing girls not directly involved in his clique for absolutely no reason. This kid was simply NOTORIOUS for being a scrawny shit-talker. He knew that several of his good friends were physical beasts (all-state football players) so no one in his school would say anything to him.
New Year’s Eve 2011 was the first time I met him in person while we were in 11th grade at a large house party in NOVA. I went with several of my friends who happened to also be my teammates for basketball and lacrosse. One of my buddies was dating an ethnically Persian girl at the time who accompanied us to the party.
We walk through the door, meet and greet the owners and proceed to the kitchen to enjoy ourselves. Connor is the typical party douchebag, laughing over-enthusiastically to cover for his condescending remarks. Things were actually going decent for a while. We were all moderately aware about his reputation so we were slightly on edge but we’re having a good time until he asked if my buddy’s girlfriend if she flew in on a magic carpet.
It was over in less than 10 seconds. My buddy was 6’2 and must have been weighing 210 lbs. at the time. I don’t think Connor has ever been over 165 lbs in life. My friend hit Connor with a nasty hook so hard that his skull dented the drywall. My buddy then picked both his legs up and pile drives him into the hardwood floors with immediate quickness before delivering at least 3 blows to Connors head that bounced his head off the ground. At this point everyone in the party was looking. He lied there unconscious and began to piss himself while wearing dark grey pants. Kid must’ve had like 20 beers beforehand because there was piss everywhere.
My buddy and his girl leave while the rest of us stayed to see the results. Needless to say, his clique were all running there mouths in similar fashion as Conner. We leave, laugh about it and generally have a good time the rest of the night.
TL;DR: I personally know Connor Howell from highshcool. He is genuinely a terrible person with little to no remorse for his actions. In 2011, my friend punched Connor so hard in the mouth that he pissed himself in front of dozens of people.

Bill Cosby found guilty. I hope they lock him up for a long “ass” time.
Sentencing to be determined later.
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/04/26/arts/television/bill-cosby-guilty-retrial.html
The three counts — penetration with lack of consent, penetration while unconscious and penetration after administering an intoxicant — are felonies, each punishable by up to 10 years in state prison, though the sentences could be served concurrently.
“Penetration with lack of consent.” Yeah, that’s what’s coming to him in prison.

Vancouver police auction is tomorrow morning. Anyone going?
I've been a few times and it's interesting to see the amount of stolen goods that were never recovered, as well as the amount of random things they end up selling lol. Bags of what seem to be like someone took a hand basket into London Drugs and filled it up with toothpaste, brushes, razors, etc and just ran out the door with it. Power tools stolen from construction sites, Kitchenaid products stolen off shelves, jewlery, and apparently there's a Victoria Beckham blouse that has a value of up to 15,000$
Perhaps I may find a nice simple bike I can use to get some summer exercise.
If you’re in the market for some jewellery, a new bike, golf equipment, or instruments the annual Vancouver Police auction may just have what you want.
The annual event takes place on April 28 and sells goods recovered by the VPD which have gone unclaimed for the past six months. The items are auctioned off for a fraction of their original value.
Thie year the auction will feature over 80 pieces of high-end jewellery. Items range from gold bangles to engagement rings to Swarovski crystal necklaces.

Some notable items include a 14-karat white gold diamond dress ring set worth more than $12,000, a variety of natural gems, and multiple Jade carvings.
The auction is also known for its high-end bikes and this year is no exception. More than 300 top-of-the-line bikes will be auctioned off. This includes mountain, downhill, racing bikes and retro cruisers.

The auction itself takes place on Saturday, April 28, from 9 am to 4 pm (doors open at 8 am, bikes will be auctioned off first).

Took a Mk7.5 Golf R for a test drive this weekend and at the end of it started talking numbers. I spec'd out an identical one online when I got home to see what kind of deal they were offering compared to what vw.ca says and they wanted $60 more per month (after me haggling a bit) so I asked what the reason was for the difference and they said that vw.ca doesn't factor in markup. WTF?
Golf R's are not a limited production car, is this dealer being greasy or is this the norm for dealers? I've never done a deal on a brand new car so maybe I'm missing something but i always thought you only saw markup on cars that were in high demand. This dealer had 5 on the lot.
