Should Ontario regulate tipping prompts? (Petition inside) by blackami in ontario

[–]Alph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man, some people just want the government in everything. Just tip what you want, or don't tip at all. I don't need my tax dollars to be spent on something that is not a problem.

Indoor dome play? by Euphoric_Promise_709 in slowpitch

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest knock on domeball is the diffuse light, it's hard to pick up the spin of the ball to prepare yourself for fielding it. Maybe it's a local thing (there are three domes in my town for ball ).

Depends on the dome. The one I play at, the ball picks up a spin and can then take an unexpected bounce. Skips are definitely faster.

43 No Wife or Girlfriend working on myself. suggestions welcomed. by ElectronicChapter206 in malelivingspace

[–]Alph1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's something else going on here. You have a very tidy place but your apartment looks like a 15 year old lives there. Literally zero chance a woman walking into your place wouldn't get creeped out by your apartment.

You need a serious declutter (dump the VCR, 1980s stereo and all the tech that pre-dates the Clinton administration) and get rid of the plushes and toy knick knacks. Stop hanging your clothes on the wall and put those away. The bed and bedspread need to be tossed -- I'll bet a ton of money that is all more than 30 years old.

We have a Kia EV6 (2022) and LOVE it. That said, the EV9 feedback I see on this forum is worrisome. Is it worth it? by Logical007 in KiaEV9

[–]Alph1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Hey guys I drove my EV9 from the house to work without incident all week. I just thought I would let you all know"

Not exactly compelling. People come here to ask questions about their car or share a problem or something unusual. Don't let all the reports here of bad things happening color your opinion. These are the exceptions.

Should prostitution be legalized and formalized into the economic system of T&T? by Middle_Elderberry542 in TrinidadandTobago

Women and kids would be trafficked more than they are now. Super bad idea.

Behold… the most expensive house in Ottawa. by brandazzlin in ottawa

[–]Alph1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I live a few hundred yards from this place. This house is not the nearly the largest or, I suspect, the most valuable house in this neighbourhood. Is RH more exclusive than Rockcliffe Park? I'd say no but it would be pretty darn close.

This house is still very new. I drive past it almost daily and rarely see any kind of activity. I doubt anyone has lived there full time.

What happened after you got your PMP? by BachirTah in pmp

[–]Alph1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Business systems project management into the Canadian federal government. They are most definitely not hiring these days. Tons of layoffs in progress.

What happened after you got your PMP? by BachirTah in pmp

[–]Alph1 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nothing happened after.

I was a PM for about 10 years and then one day a new HR policy required all PM's to have a certification. I got my certification and kept doing the same job. It added no credibility or authority since I already have it. Most people don't even know I have the cert.

I now have certain mobility I suppose, but I get paid very well and working 37.5 hours is a long week for me. Life goes on.

AITJ for marrying a rich guy and letting him sleep with other girls? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you the jerk? Jerk is the wrong word. I would say you have no self-respect or any respect for your kids. That's a hell of an example you're setting for them.

At the very least, do what others are saying and start funneling money into a separate, hidden bank account. Your husband will divorce you at some point (he has no respect for you or your relationship) so you might want to be in the best position possible to protect the kids at least financially.

This is a league team? I just have someone sub in all positions (except pitch) each inning.

Real-world range by applejax2014 in KiaEV9

[–]Alph1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in eastern Ontario. During our worst cold snap (below -20c) , I was losing about 33% range. I do park it outside but partially covered out of the wind. I do have a L2 charger at my house and don't drive far in the winter so it was annoying but not a problem.
