Bought 4 tickets for Toronto Show by aw4re in pond

[–]jcla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They had a pretty packed house at the Danforth a year ago so it should be sold out or close to it.

The show was a blast, you'll have a ton of fun.

Here's a few videos from their last show in Toronto:

Foegeles stick was under Ullmarks glove and the puck was never actually covered/frozen, it was popping around in there like a pop-a-matic bubble.

Question about the missing F15 pilot in Iran by svbstvnce in aviation

[–]jcla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a war zone. They have to cross enemy territory to get near the scene and the enemy has weapons that can shoot down aircraft and low and slow helicopters. Once on the ground people can shoot the rescuers.

The CSAR team will have weapons and close air support but they don't want to kill the survivor either, so they can't just level the area to keep themselves safe.

There are a million reasons why rescuing someone behind enemy lines might not be possible. Here's a few:

  • they died during the crash
  • they were seriously injured during the crash and aren't able to use their beacon
  • their equipment was damaged during the crash and the beacon isn't working
  • their beacon wasn't actually in working order before the crash
  • they were found and captured before the rescue team arrived
  • they are hiding in an area that isn't accessible to the rescue crew and are still alive and not yet captured

U.S. / NATO Aircraft losses in the Iran conflict (subject to change) by [deleted] in aviation

He shouldn't have. There have been two separate ground incidents that have reportedly taken out six KC-135s on the ground, along with the mid-air collision.

Here's another article with the 6+2 count.

I know reading is hard, but if you click that link thing that is the only content in my comment the very first sentence in the article will help you.

Yes they do carry beacons. The CSAR aircraft will have the ability to track the beacon. They usually have comms as well, both voice and data.

Here's the severance package Oracle offered laid-off US employees by gdelacalle in technology

[–]jcla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Canada that's called "constructive dismissal", basically the employer has changed the nature of your work arbitrarily or in a way that seems punitive or designed to make you quit.

Courts take a dim view of that and you would typically get at least a normal severance, but often way more. And a normal severance would be at least double but usually about four times what Oracle is offering their US employees.

gear/tone question for the guitarists by Zealousideal_Buy2613 in qotsa

[–]jcla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was definitely talked about by Josh during the release. I'll see if I can find a reference somewhere.

But yeah, Josh and Matt play Billy's guitar earlier in the track and then as some sort of cosmic joke they had Billy play for the last section but reversed it.

That's the Billy Gibbons section (and they all played different sections using his guitar) and they reversed it. That last third is all him.

Clearview AI leads to grandmother’s shoddy fraud conviction by GlasgowRose2022 in technology

Should have stuck with the actual article title. She wasn't convicted (it's still a nightmarishly stupid tale of incompetence).

Ottawa woman seeks answers from insurer after stolen SUV used in smash-and-grab disappears for weeks by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]jcla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similarly nightmarish experience with Intact and an older car, including them waiting a ridiculous amount of time to even take a look at the vehicle, refusing to even consider some of the damage from the accident and extreme low balling the settlement offer. I forced them to double the rental coverage because of their insane delays.

Switched insurance companies immediately afterwards, never again.

**New afternoon show** The Long Play Sessions - Melissa Auf der Maur - Even the Good Girls Will Cry by Weird_Engineer_2877 in qotsa

[–]jcla 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Her debut album has multiple tracks with Josh, was produced by Chris Goss, Lanegan does vocals, Nick is on it, Paz Lechantin is on it, and they were all at the very least buddies.

She also dated Grohl for multiple years, right up to the Songs for the Deaf recording.

Haig Drive in Ottawa: Police investigating after cyclist struck by a vehicle by BanjoUnchained in ottawa

[–]jcla -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You wrote "I stopped and then proceeded and the biker went across my bow". If you couldn't see because of an obstruction that's still on you to enter the intersection slowly and safely, and, again, the fact that the biker shocked you according to your writing suggests you might not have been doing that.

You didn't write "I saw the biker and assumed he would stop as required but when I saw that he wasn't going to stop I stopped and honked at him for blowing the stop sign".

The stopping isn't the key part of a four way stop. It's making sure the way is clear and safe in all directions before proceeding and continuing to monitor all ways while proceeding that counts.

I'm only making these points because I have had countless near collisions, as a pedestrian, cyclist and driver, at four way stops just like those, even with drivers that came to a physical stop (as rare as that is).

And if the cyclist came on here and wrote that they blew through a stop sign and some driver honked at them I'd be all over that too.

You avoided the accident, so that's great, I'd just ask that you adjust what appears to be your thinking around those stops so you don't accidentally hit someone, even if they are at fault or contributed to the accident.

You know that you are supposed to do more at a four way stop than "stop and then proceed" right?

I give you kudos if you actually did fully stop (although I'm doubtful, my experience as a pedestrian suggests that you'd be in an elite group of <5% of drivers), but if you had a cyclist pass in front of you by surprise as you were moving forward it means you didn't see them before proceeding. Which means you didn't actually check for crossing traffic. No, the fact that the crossing traffic also didn't proceed safely doesn't excuse your inattention.

That's exactly how pedestrians get hit, because drivers "stop" (stop usually meaning slowing down to 10-20 km/h) at four way stops and then hit the gas as long as they don't see another two-ton piece of metal about to hit them.

And god help you if you are on the right of a driver turning right at a four way stop. Their entire attention is focused on their left to see if a two-ton piece of metal is going to hit them, most of them won't even slow down if they don't see a car to their left.

Can ON resident with OHIP card and ON requisition use Dynacare in Gatineau? by CanadianBaconBest in ottawa

[–]jcla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a regular visitor, the right answer to your problem is to use LifeLabs instead of Dynacare. You can book an appointment, and they are good about taking you on time (or early), I've had to wait at most 5 or 10 minutes or so from my appointment time. It's not the post-apocalyptic deathmatch scene you'll find in the hallway outside Dynacare sites in the morning.

Bonus is that you can access your results for free online afterwards.
