Received an email this week to notice me of a 3$ increase on both Helix TV and Internet services, so total +6$ / month.

I guess am I not alone?

I'm new to CadQuery. What is the recommended best Python version I should install?

My niece is starting studies in OT. I thought of giving her (as a birthday gift) a full size human skeleton that she would keep in her room, hoping that can be useful to help her study. What do you guys think about that? Is it a good idea? Any brand and model of skeleton that we recommend?

If you think that's not relevant for OT studies, what other ideas would make a great gift to help with her studies?

J'ai un vieux système d'alarme de maison (DSC Power832) connecté à la centrale via ma ligne résidentielle Vidéotron. Je dois me débarrasser de cette ligne téléphonique qui coûte trop cher.

Quelqu'un est déjà passé par là et a des conseils?

Quelle entreprise fiable dans Montréal peut aider avec ça?

Where are the VikingContact 8 manufactured? I want to avoid US plants, so if these are manufactured in US, I will consider Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 or Michelin X-Ice.

I need to buy TPMS sensors for the winter wheels of my Santa Fe 2021 Hybrid. I can buy the sensors from Hyundai, but this is expensive at around 80$CDN per sensor.

Are there known good aftermarket sensors that are compatible with this car, at an hopefully lower price?

Any problems to expect when using aftermarket TPMS sensors as opposed to official Hyundai ones?

My C300 2013 came standard with these sizes :

• Front: 225/45R17
• Rear: 245/40R17

For winter, I'm considering buying narrower tires for all four wheels. Either I go 225/45R17 on all four, or maybe even narrower : 205/50R17.

Would 205 be too narrow? Anyone ever tried that?

Je considère passer de Fido à Vidéotron pour mon cellulaire. La couverture semble plus petite chez Vidéotron que chez Fido, mais Videotron compense avec les réseaux partenaires pour offrir une couverture équivalente à Fido et aux autres fournisseurs. Est-ce que ça fonctionne bien? Est-ce que ça cause des problèmes et limitations?

Fido increased the price on my three lines last month, but I just noticed this week. Impossible to contact them, as we all know.

So I contacted the big players to check prices for three lines, including my internet provider and Rogers. Rogers has 'great offers for Fido customers.' Their tactic is to annoy you at Fido until you switch to Rogers.

They succeeded. After 10+ years, their increasingly worse service and price hikes ended up annoying me enough.

But I won't be moving to Rogers, though. I found a better deal with my internet provider. Bell couldn't match it either, so I'll let you guess who I went with.

Maybe Rogers will have a good winback offer for me next year.

My Santa Fe 2021 is suddenly possessed. The passenger side is blowing hot air in the summer. Driver side works normal.

After investing, I realize that I can always make passenger side blow cold air again if I request a colder temperaturen on passenger side (I leave the default "sync" mode and ask for much lower temperature). And if I bring the command back to a more reasonable temperature, hot air comes back.

The dealer tried to fix the issue by replacing the HVAC Unit Case Assembly 97205-CL002. But same problem remains.

From my experiments, it's as if the cabin temperature sensor on passenger side is defective and returns a temperature that is too low.

Anyone has experience with this problem?

I this new tire supposed to replace the Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3? Or is it targetting a different segment?

From Pilrelli's website, this is all marketting mumbo jumbo. I guess they mean this is just a better tire, with now sizes for pickups? But why is it not part of the "plus" line of product? What is that compromise compared to the AS Plus 3?

Does that make the AS4 a better option than LX25, Defender 2 and the GEOLANDAR CV G058 (to name a few in that category)? -- Mostly interested in road comfort.

What is the cost of Opus 5 vs Opus 4.8 for input, cached and output tokens with a Github Copilot Enterprise account? Or more importantly, is Opus 5 same price or more expensive than Opus 4.8?

Need help. Stuck in analysis paralysis.

My Santa Fe 2021 came equipped (OE) with Continental Cross Contact LX Sport. Got 5 years out of them. Need to replace them.

I want smooth ride and low noise, but they need to handle curves as well. Just need three seasons (maybe one light early snow before I swap) since I get separate snow/ice tires for Winter.

OE tires were ok. No complaint. But I suspect that I can get ones that perform better on all aspects with newer models.

I am looking at these ones for now - but open to other big names too :

• Michelin Defender 2
• Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3
• Continental CrossContact LX25

I hear Defender 2 are smooth and have super long threadwear, but not great on all other aspects (braking distance and handling, even noise).

Pirelli score well in reviews, but I'm afraid they may be have a rougher ride than my OE (being Pirelli), and I would hate to end up feeling all small road cracks.

Any guidance is welcome.

P.S.: Current tires are 235/55/19 - 101H

I plan a 7-10 days in Ontario for vacations in August. I don't know where to go and need ideas. In past years, we visited Wasaga Beach, Ottawa, Toronto and the Niagara falls area. But that's pretty much all we know about Ontario.

I'm sure Ontario has more to offer, but I'm lost and need guidance. Ten days in one spot is probably too much, so should we plan for two or three stops? I don't mind driving long distances, but prefer nice accommodations. I want to stay in Ontario. No travel to USA. And camping is not an option.

Please help me with your suggestions.

I plan on calling a pro exterminator to spray the house outdoor perimeter (for ants, spiders, etc.). I used to do it myself with off-the-counter products that are all 0.25% permethrin, but that does not provide long-term protection and I end-up reapplying too often.

What concentration would a pro use for such application?

And my external walls are in concrete. Is permethrin residual effect still working on concrete surfaces?

Some leaders at my company believe everyone should adopt Speckit as their default workflow with GitHub copilot.

However, I don't see many posts about Speckit in this sub. Why is that? Is there a consensus on its usefulness -- or lack thereof -- for use with GHCP?

I have no experience with it, and before jumping in, I wanted to get the community's take on whether it's worth it.

My C300 2013 needs new tires. It came with Continental ContiProContact, and a second identicaly set is now also worn out.

I like their comfort and handling, but find them noisy at high speed. It's possible they were quieter when new, but can't remember.

I value low noise and ride comfort more than sharp handling. And ContiProContact is Grand Touring, while most alternatives I find are UHP ...

So do I buy another set of ContiProContact, or do more modern designs like ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS now offer a similar or even smoother and quiter ride?

P.S.: I have a staggered setup (225/45/17 with 254/40/17), so that limits my options.

I need to replace old (2017) Continental ContiProContact tires. My C300 needs a set of 225/45-17 (front) and 245/40-17 (back) in the 91H load/speed rating minimum.

Need recommendations for all-season tires. Spring and fall can have some light now, so summer tires is a no go; And I get true winter tires for winter.

I liked my ContiProContact. Good enough handling for me, with acceptable comfort and noise level.

I manage several dev teams in a large company where everyone has GitHub Copilot Premium. The goal is to improve efficiency and reduce costs, but in practice many devs either don’t use it much or only use it like a search engine.

We want to measure adoption/maturity (team + individual) so we can target coaching better. Right now, the only metric we have is monthly premium request counts, which isn’t very meaningful.

What metrics or approaches have you used to better track effective Copilot usage?
