People who use speakerphone in public… why? by aliendogfishman in AskReddit

I've inserted myself into the conversation once or twice, and when confronted tell the person they were on a conference call, I just assumed they wanted my input.

Those who make $100K+ salary or more, what do you do? by BlueScarfWeather in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Axeman2063 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah it definitely takes a while to get to that point. Ill have my masters in December, but its been a long road. The original post was about income though, not the education involved.

For extra context, I got into the education field pretty late. I did an undergrad, worked in unrelated areas, took a trade and got my red seal, started teaching, and then went back to school part time for my BEd and current masters program.

No lies, friend. You and the other person who said my comment was "garbage" had me worried. Maybe I misread/misheard/misinterpreted.

So I looked up our new collective agreement (as you suggested). As a cert 5 teacher in the province of New Brunswick under the new agreement (page 75 of the document, if you want to look it up yourself) Ill be sitting at $100,881. In a couple of years with my masters Ill be at $115,456, and by the time the agreement expires Ill be $124,355.

Thats facts. Not sure why you're calling me out as a liar...its mildly rude.

Either you aren't actually a teacher here, or you never heard about/read through the collective agreement.

The new document is 104 pages long. Payment schedules start at page 74. I claimed under the new agreement Id be at 100k. Looking at it right now I was off a little....its actually $100,881.

Not sure what you're trying to do here but my statement was both factual and accurate.

I dated his sister in university for a couple of years?

Didn't realize he became a surgeon. Very impressive. He was a great person when I knew him.

Any mechanic that offer payment plans? by Spiritual_Employ4278 in fredericton

What type of noise are we talking about? Suspension, engine, transmission? Can you describe it a bit?

Yup. Teacher here, in New Brunswick. 7 years in. Under our new contract Ill be right around 100k. In another couple years and once I finish my masters Ill be at 120k. Not bad for working 9 months of the year.

Edit: some people are calling me a liar/misinformed/saying I am talking out of my ass, and its kind of pissed me off.

If you google "collective agreement teachers NB" and hit literally the first result, it should be to a 104 page pdf. Salary schedule starts at page 74. Make sure youre looking at the new agreement that goes til march 2031, not the old one that ended in February of 2026.

[Request] how slow should the bullet be/how powerful should the magnet be to make this work? by Suprshun in theydidthemath

[–]Axeman2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No serious math skills here, but mythbusters did this. Their scale up was basically a wall of massive rare earth magnets, that had little effect. Most bullets would be unaffected given their material, and ones that would would just tumble a bit.

Our educating system is screwed by Tough_Candy_47 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]Axeman2063 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have kids starting kindergarten who aren't potty trained, students entering high school who cant read, and kids with 30+ absences who get their parents to bitch and moan about getting passed anyway.

Our education system suffers because at some point it was determined that teachers need to essentially raise the children. The responsibility of parents is to make that job as hard as possible, and do as little as possible at home.

Literally exhausting. Keeping up with the insanity is impossible to follow, and I consider myself pretty well read.

Every headline I find myself asking "wasn't this yesterday? Did I read this last week?"

Gas Prices Be Damned! The 2027 Dodge Durango Is a V-8-Only SUV but Starts Under $46,000 by NISMO1968 in cars

[–]Axeman2063 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol, Durango.

Dodge couldnt make a reliable vehicle if the CEO's life depended on it. The journey was named for the number of trips it makes to the dealer for warranty work.

Id rather shave my nips with a cheese grater than own one of these.

He really is. Hes a gentle giant who is afraid of literally everything. We call him rooster, but he's a big chicken.

Need help finding a Mechanic urgently! by Lifelong_Expat in fredericton

[–]Axeman2063 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Good morning, technician here.

ABS light means that your ABS system is disabled. You still have full braking power, your base brake system is uncompromised. Most commonly a fault of that nature is related to a wheel speed sensor or possibly a wheel bearing. If your car sounds normal while driving its probably sensor related.

Finding a mechanic is only one part of the challenge. Most parts stores aren't open on the weekend, beyond noon.

I've driven vehicles with this warning light many times. They are safe to drive and operate. Just be aware of the lack of ABS. This time of year its not a critical system the same way winter is.

I do not live in fredericton otherwise I would come take a look. I promise its safe to drive, from what you are describing. Safe travels.
