1. Apology to Fullerton （ 78 ｜ 62 ｜ 8）
Original English title:Apologies to the Fullerton’s
Post summary:Saturday morning I had to kick all of you off the wifi. Why? Because I can access your wifi through the Tbaytel app. Your router is registered to my account, and no matter what I try, I can't remove it or register my own. I've been on the phone with Tbaytel twice for 2 hours since this problem started last year, and their advice was to delete the app and reinstall. Tried that. Deleted the app, forgot about it. Logged back in last week, and hello Fullerton Wi

2. Housing market purchase range 650-750k （ 75 ｜ 9 ｜ 33）
Original English title:Housing Market For Buying Range 650-750k
Post summary:Does anyone know what the real estate market is like between 650-750k? I've heard horror stories of homes asking over $100k more. Do homes sell for their listed price? Less? Wanting to upgrade, but have PTSD since we last looked. We bought a split-level bungalow in 2020 when it was over asking in a hot market. Not sure what it's worth now, though houses in our neighborhood seem to be going for around 400k+. Seems crazy for a 1970s house, even if updated, still crazy.

3. Local tattoo shops and AI （ 67 ｜ 23 ｜ 22）
Original English title:Local tattoo shops and AI
Post summary:I want to get a tattoo in town and want to give the artist creative freedom, but I've noticed that shops near me do a lot of advertising using AI, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I want a real person to draw it, but maybe that's just the industry now? Looking for opinions and/or artist/shop recommendations.

7. I'm at a loss - plumber advice! （ 41 ｜ 7 ｜ 17）
Original English title:I’m at a loss - plumber recommendations!
Post summary:We have a Glacier Bay dual flush toilet. After a few years in our new house, it started not flushing well. Like I said, 3-5 flushes to get it down! Sometimes it works better than others. Weird when it works fine. We had a plumber check it, they did take the toilet off, put something like a wire rod in, and said no problem. Lasted a day or two, then same thing again. We said maybe it's the toilet itself? Bought a new one, seems like it doesn't fully empty the bowl (what you see)

8. Mysterious water in basement utility room （ 38 ｜ 10 ｜ 14）
Original English title:Mysterious water in basement utility room
Post summary:My husband and I just found a small lake of water in our utility room, slowly draining into the floor drain. We're not sure where it's coming from, but we're trying to troubleshoot by putting towels where the floor meets the wall near the area. We ruled out a clogged floor drain by trying to overload the system with water, and we also have 2 sump pumps that run almost every 5 minutes, so that's not the issue either. Wondering if anyone else is having issues today

Post content summary:Looking for some delivery/takeout ideas in Thunder Bay (preferably the Fort William side). Not a big fan of using Skip or Uber, so places that deliver themselves (or just have a set pickup point) would be ideal. I usually default to pizza because it's good and cheap, but I'm also looking for other options. Just looking for something good and reasonably priced.
