What are some good Canadian-owned retailers to buy electronics, electronic components, and computer accessories from?

I'm talking about things like USB hubs and peripherals, monitors, cabling, and electronic components like you used to be able to get at the Radio Shack of yore. For audio stuff, I go to Long & McQuade, but non-audio? shrug

Ideally, this would be a brick-and-mortar place in the GTA (but outside Toronto proper) but online would be great, too.

What's your kinda-unimpressive 'claim to fame'? by Dhar in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

I worked with Linus Torvalds, met Carl Sagan, and caught a cold from Danny Elfman.

My theory is that humanity spent thousands and thousands of years breeding their best traits into dogs and now we've apparently run out of our own.

"...he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn..."

I don't think he learned anything.

Moonman M2 with Pilot Parallel nib. How? HOW‽ (lemmy.ca)

I've been trying to put a Pilot Parallel nib unit into a Moonman M2. Easy, right? There are lots of pictures and guides online.

Only...they don't work for me. From what I understand, you friction fit the Parallel nib unit into the M2 section. No go. The Parallel nib unit just falls out, there is no friction. I've tried pushing the nib unit really hard, to friction fit with the inner threads of the M2 section, but that doesn't work - it just won't go and I'm afraid I'm going to break the Parallel feed.

The Parallel nib unit won't go into the M2 nib unit, too big. The Parallel section won't screw into the M2 body, threads are the wrong pitch.

What's going on? Do I have a miniature Parallel? A giant M2? Does anyone have a good video showing how this is done? I'm at my wits end, I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks!

$300 at amazon.ca - what to buy? (lemmy.ca)

Let's say that over the past year I've accumulated $300 in gift cards for Amazon Canada from my in-laws - what fountain pen(s) would you recommend I buy? I find Amazon's fountain pen selection lacking, so I'm hoping there are some hidden gems I'm unaware of. Thanks!
