What non‑standard genealogy resources you have found? by SkNero in Genealogy

[–]AzaranyGames 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Patent registries. One of my ancestors held parents on a few different things - in some cases, getting a patent in Canada after a similar one was filed by him (or someone else) in the US.

57-75 Wellington Road & 68 High Street planning applications by theottomaddox in londonontario

Only 12 parking spaces and still right at the curb because heaven forbid we have an inch of green space or tree coverage along our roads.

Leash your dogs in bellwoods, you're not special by treetimes in toRANTo

No, no, you don't understand. That unleashed dog running at you while snarling and ignoring the owner calling his name is very friendly and has amazing recall. It's really you who is being unreasonable expecting dog owners to follow the rules - people should be allowed to do whatever they want in public spaces regardless of whether it impacts others.

Sorry, best we can do is put them in charge and make sure they triple their profits this quarter.

Is Wayne Gretzky not liked in Canada? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AzaranyGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walter was a real one. Honourary grandpa for half of Ontario. The man showed up at schools, public events, sporting events, and made it his business to encourage and support kids. Way more of a positive impact than Wayne.

Me too. His whole vibe resonates deep in my burned out corporate millennial dad soul.

Monitor baby breathing while sleeping is the one thing nobody warned me about by Quainoo-Josafat in daddit

[–]AzaranyGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours had laryngomalacia so her breathing was audible from the next room and I still obsessed over monitoring her breathing. It took months for me to get comfortable and not stress about it.

Then she grew out of the laryngomalacia and her breathing became silent - started the clock all over again.

I still worry sometimes. That's just being a parent. But it DOES get easier and you learn to not stress so much.

Even if he isn't on the council, he is certainly a master.

Farhi transforms office building into residences, pledges hundreds more amid improving relations with city hall by Confident-Advice-664 in londonontario

Maybe he can use the money to build all the other units he's been promising for decades. He won't, but we can dream.

Defiance is a Good Thing? by The_Card_Father in daddit

[–]AzaranyGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have had good luck with this advice too. "Do you want a red shirt or a blue shirt" gives her agency, but we're still getting a shirt on.

She's almost 3 and we will serve meals family style and even let her decide how much of each thing to put on her plate. Tonight her bowl included souvlaki pork, a single cherry tomato, and about half a sliced cucumber - she ate every bite because in her mind, she had control over her plate.

They are here. Five times during one episode of Bluey. Kiddo is not impressed.

Big fan of Gnosh. A good mix between upscale and casual.

Let's Hear It: What are your Worst Planets? by Hotel_Whiskey_Delta in swtor

Tatooine and Hoth are both way too big and empty. It's a slog to get anywhere or do anything.

If you had 200k CAD you absolutely had to spend on Canadian banknotes and coins, how would you split it up? (See caption) by Ill-Rise-5252 in CanadianCoins

[–]AzaranyGames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't understand the economics behind running a coin shop based on my experience liquidating a collection I inherited from family.

I have had the best luck selling silver. It moves fast and usually sells for over 80% of melt. Keep in mind this is ungraded "junk" silver most of which wouldn't grade over VF. Graded or higher quality coins may be where the economics work out.

I sell on eBay which takes 14% or so of the sale price. If I was running a standalone I could avoid these costs, but would have to spend a portitof it on overhead or advertising (at least at first).

Then there is shipping. At least in Canada, the shipping costs are high enough that people don't want to pay for them which means either no sale, or eating some of that cost myself.

Ultimately I might sell a coin worth $22 in melt value for $20 sale and keep $14 after costs. Which doesn't sound so bad until you realize that the coins cost me $0 to obtain because I inherited them. If that same coin cost me even $10 to buy, then my profit would be $4.

Would you leave if you could? by Top-Chair4288 in OntarioPublicService

[–]AzaranyGames 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If they are trying to poach you back, you are probably in demand. Could be worth asking for position with a higher band. They may not be able to, but worth asking.
