  1. the answer is ... multiple families share a single house. It's a common thing with people from other countries. They all work and share everything. Many of the houses have 1 or 2 suites which are rented out. Then there's the foreign owner who buys up a few choice properties and rents them out ... often times to several university students or young working singles. Several sharing a real nice place can be quite affordable and this is becoming a sort of "trend" in this area.
  2. Take a look at this ... I bought one and it's amazing for the price. https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/
  3. Trying to trace what's causing that error can be a nightmare.
  4. Wife and I ride transit to work and back home every day. 45 min ride. I'd guess of all those on the same train, 1/3 are English speaking ... the rest speak a variety of other languages and you rarely hear French.
  5. We've been known as Huongcouver for several years
  6. Might have something to do with your account.
  7. No problem here...
  8. Vancouver is near or at the top of the list as one of the best places in the world to live .... IF you're RICH! And that is what is driving prices ... (just in case anyone's wondering ... I'm not rich and I don't live in Vancouver)
  9. It's long been said that if you want to live in the province of British Columbia, Canada (aka BC) you need to Bring Cash (BC=Bring Cash) Even more so if you want to live in Vancouver as the latest report says that 2/3 of the single family homes in the metro Vancouver area are now at or in excess of a MILLION DOLLARS!! :mo money: :mo money:
  10. You must have gotten it reversed coz the Can dollar has been below the US for months ... and more months, in fact, it was way back in 2013 when we were last at par or above... it's been dropping and fluctuating below ever since. Have a look at this site ... http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchange/exchange-rates-in-pdf/ In April 2013 United States Dollar 1.01869545 CAD Feb 2013 United States Dollar 1.00984737 CAD Jan 2013 United States Dollar 0.99213182 CAD That was the last time were were worth more than US ... in other words, one dollar of our money gets more than a dollar of yours. Feb 2015 United States Dollar 1.25000526 CAD
  11. Other thing about using the cc is you get the exchange rate at that time ... which could be lower than, say 5 days earlier when ya exchanged the cash.
  12. That must have been when the Can dollar was worth more than US coz right now your dollar is worth more than ours so you're spending less. For $1 of ours, you only pay 78 cents at the moment. Having said that, unfortunately most everything up here costs more so ya can't win for losin LOL I remember when I was in high school .... wait a min ... ... ... .... never mind, I forgot!
  13. Ya, I thought about that after I hit "Post" LOL ... maybe the newer RKs are designed differently than the old ones. Will be interesting to know how they sound ... if they are a different note or are quieter than the old design you could see thru.
  14. Could it be that they have catalytic convertors in them? I might be mistaken but I kinda recall that newer ones did.
  15. Bleed the system and get a clutch spring upgrade from .... is it Skydoc?
  16. yep, y'all south of us can get rich offa us northerners :mo money:
  17. They processed the full amount on the CC on the 10th. That alone sukz but I've had other places do that. $307 US converted to $399 CDN on Mar 10 $307 US converted to $380 CDN on Mar 13 You wouldn't make $19 as the conversion is the opposite direction. Doing simple math, 399/380*307-307=$15.35 is what you'd get.
  18. On Mar 10 I made my reservation for the upcoming Venture West via the Motel's "reservation desk". On Mar 13 I cancelled it because it was better to deal directly with the motel. In those 3 days I lost $19.41 CDN due to differences in the exchange rate.
  19. and another screen for the Mode...
  20. I ordered the wide angle lens. It has 2 video modes which are adjustable. Here's a shot of the camera settings software...

  23. My wife and I never get into an argument .... I just follow those rules above and an argument never ensues. Boy does that make her mad!
  24. How does a person delete things from the File Upload Manager?
