Mattress pickup service

My parents who live in Vancouver recently had a new mattress delivered to their home and no arrangements were made for the old mattress to be picked up.

My parent are seniors on a fixed income. I was wondering if there is any reliable, low cost service they could use to have the mattress picked up? As they live in Vancouver proper, there is no city curbside pickup available.

Thank you

Why does Par3 have such a loyal following?

I know Par3 concentrate is twice as strong as Killex concentrate. However, from what I read, you use 120 ml of Killex vs 60 ml of Par3 to blanket spray a 1000 square foot yard. That means the amount of active ingredients put down on the lawn is roughly the same.

Based on this, I was just wondering why does Par3 have such a loyal following? It doesn't seem to be any more effective at killing weeds or am I missing something?

Killex:
2,4-D: 95 g/L
MCPP-P: 52.52 g/L
Dicamba: 9 g/L

Par3:
2,4-D: 190 g/L
MCPP-P: 100 g/L
Dicamba: 18 g/L

Positive UBC change: 10 paid experiences, 5 volunteering

One of the biggest complaints on this subreddit is wealthy students have a competitive advantage applying to med school because financially, they can focus on volunteer opportunities over work experience.

With UBC prioritising paid work experience, this level the playing field. Those that are forced to work to pay for school are now on an equal playing field with other applicants.

Some may say that this sudden change favours mature students and it maybe it does but the reality is this is nothing new, the application process has always favoured this. I'm all for this change. UBC is weeding out the fluff of applicants who are club VPs in favour of more tangible life skills that people get working at Starbucks, McDonalds etc.

Pocket reduction surgery

I was told I need pocket reduction surgery on all of my molars and was wondering if someone could help me answer some questions I had after I left their office:

  1. I was told after the surgery, I would use proxy brushes to clean the spaces. Do I no longer need to floss the teeth that have been surgically repaired?

  2. How does the recovery compare to a gum graft. I had that done a few years ago and it was 2 months in length and I found it difficult.

Thank you

How does CIBC calculate severance?

I'm just wondering how much severance I can expect. I'm 55 with 30 years of service. I was grandfathered into a DB pension and I'm eligible for full pension at 61.

Is it common that they would give service credits so that even if I am laid off, I could still get my full pension as if I retire at 61?

What did you get as a severance package?

With CIBC laying off so many people, it would be worth knowing if we're all being treated fairly in terms of the severance being offered.

If you are able, can you share your:

  1. Age

  2. Salary

  3. Years with the company

  4. Any special perks they offered to get you to sign the departure package.

  5. Any other information that could help others.

What's a good alternative to Real Debrid?

With Real Debrid barely functional for most people, I'm just wondering what is a good alternative to use?

I really liked how it integrated right into the addons and you could stream straight from RD if you wanted to bypass Kodi.

What's the most accurate way of forecasting rainfall?

I wanted to apply some products to my lawn and needed a minimum of 15 mm of rain.

My Google app shows just 4 mm of rain on Friday but as of right now, the Weather Network shows 15 mm of rain.

I had 2 questions:

  1. Is there a site that is more accurate than others to forecast future rainfall?

  2. I've applied the products hoping the Weather Network forecast is accurate. On Saturday, is there a way to tell how much rain actually fell on Friday.

Why is my phone switching to mountain time?

It started last night and really threw me because I thought I was late for an appointment. It's been the same all day today where my Android phone is stuck on mountain time.

I just bought a new Pixel phone and thought it might be a problem with it, but when I googled it, I found that it might be an issue at Rogers. For now, I've manually corrected the time zone but was wondering if anyone else has this issue.

I'm in Vancouver.

Thank you

Locked into 2 year phone plan, what happens when it expires?

I bought a new phone and signed a 2 year contract that fixes my monthly rate. What happens at the end of the 2 years. Since I don't get paper bills and pay by credit card, it's easy to miss renewal information.

How do you deal with crabgrass if Killex is ineffective?

How do I know the weeds are dying?

I applied Killex 2 weeks ago. I can see the weeds are shrivelling up but they're still green and nothing is brown or brown. I've seen no new buttercups in the backyard but I am starting to see a little bit of budding in my front yard.

How do I know if the Killex has done its job? Do I need to apply it again or do I just do nothing with my lawn until the fall at which point I overseed?

Thank you

Anyone ever stopped at the border bringing products over?

I've read a couple of user experiences of how they vaguely state they have gardening products when asked by border agents what they're bringing into Canada.

I guess I don't have the courage to do this because the problem with this is vague answers can be viewed as a form of deception and if you are sent for a secondary search where they find these products, you will face stiff fines, a loss of nexus rights if you have it and a mark on your passport that will subject you to secondary searches for years to come.

From what I understand, there is no leniency because ignorance of the law is not a valid defence.

I was just wondering what the real world experience of people stopped at the border with banned products was really like?

Double the amount of Killex = Par3

Someone mentioned this to me the other day, is it true that if you put double the recommended amount of Killex concentrate, you can get the equivalent strength of Par3?
