Online fraud is so annoying. I'm trying to setup ads on Reddit but I don't think I'll actually do it. Most user reports indicate the majority of clicks on reddit ads are bots. Total waste of money. Reddit does nothing about it.

YES this was a total scam, lol. I never actually contacted them but when I searched for the ad again, I came across multiple identical ads posted under different accounts, all signed up to Meta within a year or so.

I ended up getting a used Alesis Recital Pro for $400 including bench and stand. It gives my wife the weighted hammer keys, gives my son something to learn on, and the price was reasonable.

I feel like Alesis is a Hyundai or Kia, while Casio or Yamaha are BMW and Mercedes. But it meets our needs!
I'd argue Williams is more like Kia. Alesis would be Chevy.

Casio and Yamaha would be Honda and Toyota, as they both have low and high end offerings (Honda / Acura & Toyota / Lexus)

Dexibell would be BMW

Nord would be Mercedes

I've overthought this clearly

Anyone have a oil drum in their garage, and get it picked up when needed?

I called GFL, they offer drum pickup / or pump out for 140-180$.

55Gal, thats about 20 oil changes for my single car. The god dam C7 15w50 only comes in 1L, im tired of disposing one by one every year. For 140$ seems like a good deal (plus drum cost)

Anyone have opinions on this?

As a local shop if they have any free empty 5L jugs and just keep a few of those around?

For me oil changes between the three vehicles, boat motor, lawnmower, pressure washer & generator I'm doing about 20 litres/year. 4x5L jugs to Hartland landfill where they accept it is no big deal.

What you can try to do is go to your local recycling depot and ask if they have any 5L jugs as Great68 suggested, and simply return them back for oil recycling. Most of the time, they will empty the jug and let you take the jug back, or simply recycle it for you.

I can't speak for a drum. I don't go through enough oil changes to warrant one. Sorry.

I'm not sure if all of them do it, but my local Great Canadian Oil Change takes used fluids as long as they aren't mixed. For stuff that comes in small containers I just hold onto a couple washer fluid jugs and use those.

I go thru 20-30L per year with just the C7

Grossly exaggerated. I haven’t been pickpocketed or approached at all.

Probably cuz I look ragged and poor as fuck with all my Costco getup. It’s the ultimate anti theft deterrent.

Congratulations!

Are you asking from the bride or groom's side? Me and my wife used this website as a good baseline. I highly recommend that you adjust to cultural requirements because not everyone will have the same requirements. (i.e. North Vs. South. Hoarder vs. Non-Hoarder etc.) Best to ask the parents/seniors. Use Google Translate as needed.

In terms of dried goods, a dried goods seafood place will be able to pick the stuff out and they likely will have basket options. Just bring $$$ lol

If for Vancouver, for pastries, Kam Do is solid for wedding pastry needs. Just talk to the staff working there. They know the drill down to the T.

Edit: Here's a much better and thoughtful version in English for various cultures so you can be more considerate. Some families take this stuff seriously so the last thing you want to do is offend them.

Yah, best to check with the in-laws receiving it to make sure you don't miss anything. Was a pain in the butt to get info from my MIL because she kept on saying "anything is ok" but you know it wouldn't be if I missed one item.

IN Toronto there were a few things that was tough to get but honestly, most of the stuff u can get at grocery stores 'in lieu' of the real stuff.

THe one I had a tough time was the painted gold coconuts.

AliExpress and the usual suspects are good at getting some of these items that may be difficult to get locally (Vancouver or Toronto.)

@Razor Ramon HG - If you need anything, I am happy to donate some items to you. I only ask you pick it up from one of my friends who is holding on to some stuff as he got married last year.
