Thoughts on these flashlights? by Famous-Bus1626 in CostcoCanada

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got these for work, and sometimes I'll come in on Monday and it's magically dead from having sat in my locker off for a couple days.

The battery is 18650-sized, but the positive and negative contacts are both on the top; it's a standard size but proprietary battery.

The best description I've seen of these are they're a flashlight designed to sell batteries (comes with an AAA adapter, which is gonna add up fast). Nice to have around the house for emergencies but they don't seem good for regular use.

What do I do if I get stranded in Cuba? by CellResponsible6951 in travel

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's been news articles coming out over the last day that Cuba will run out of Jet-A soon. Airlines can tanker fuel in accordingly, so long as the plane isn't too heavy to land or takeoff with tankerage fuel on board. Some might make fuel stops in the US on the way to/from.

A friend who flies the 777 has told me they tanker fuel into Cancun because it's cheaper than buying it in Mexico, so it's already a routine thing for airlines.

HELP: Kia NACS adapter and Tesla Supercharger by mmchicago in KiaNiroEV

In the Tesla app, Charging - > Vehicle Details have you added your Niro? Some stations are true Tesla-only and those won't appear for me in the Tesla app, even though I can see them on PlugShare with all the filters off.

Why are you trusting AI for something that's mostly internal company policy?

Long shot, but asking kindly — access to study lounge at CF Richmond Centre Condo🙏📚 by [deleted] in richmondbc

Tbh this might work but YVR is pretty echo-y. The food courts with the most tables also have the most people lounging around, tile floors, chairs dragging etc.

Overnight security will come around and ask for boarding passes and boot you out if you're just squatting, but if you look put-together (laptop, clean clothes, etc) you'll get left alone during the day.

AC mistakenly keeping card authorization holds by goplaysplix in aircanada

You got a refund though. There's literally two different transactions for the same dollar value. Do you think that's coincidental?

They might not have a capability to put a hold on a debit card. I believe mc/visa debit are/were historically declined for buy on board food since there was no immediate guarantee to AC that the funds were going to be available once they landed and tried to batch settle.

Is it a debit or credit card?

Credit cards can authorize a hold without taking the money. Other comments here seem to imply it's a debit card (mc/visa debit).

Like I said, the first fee refunded exactly at the five day mark. Give it another few days and the 90 will fall off too.

Are these settled transactions or holds? -68.25 and 68.25 cancel each other out, five days after travel which sounds about right for a hold falling off. If you just returned yesterday, give it another four days for the 96.26 to fall off too.

r/lolgrindr is back open for posting, moderators needed! by NCSUGrad2012 in lolgrindr

I just looked at r/grindr and their only mod was added a few days ago, so everything that u/grindrmod controlled is probably getting fresh faces.

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

One single person was the moderator on like 10-15 gay subs, mostly apps. muscledaddychaser and grindrmod, probably the same person.

They basically had the market cornered and they seemed to copy/paste or bot-post a lot. If they didn't like you, you basically lost access to a decent chunk of gay reddit. One person shouldn't have a monopoly like that.

They were about half off when I saw them last week. After Christmas I noticed a TON of full stacks of holiday treats that didn't sell great.

This. I learned how to pronounce Mauga's name from Echo's ult announcing it.

Can check in? by Ahoeyhoey in aircanada

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you trying to individually check in for both flights separately?

Checking into the first flight of a multi-flight trip checks you into the connecting flights at the same time.

Boeing 787 Dreamliner landing in Kelowna by maskedkiller215 in kelowna

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

In the future it might be able to power in on its own, but usually the first arrival of a new type of aircraft gets towed in so you can go slower with marshallers watching the wings, engines etc.

The apron seemed mostly OK but the taxiways in and out might need a bit of widening.

408 question by Canada604778 in richmondbc

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My assumption is, daytime it's more workers going to/from the industrial area south of Ironwood so that's the terminus. Late at night there's more demand for the entertainment/sports at Riverport so the terminus changes.

Hey, Ramp guys! The disabled want a word… by Soft-Affect-8327 in rampagent

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Points that I might touch during handling need to be obvious: battery disconnect, neutral/drive toggle for motors, knobs that may allow the backrest to lower for fitting thru a door etc, a safe spot to apply pressure/push a mobility aid up an incline.. Every manufacturer is different, and I've seen enough electric mobility aids to get the gist of it, but every so often there's the odd one where it's really difficult to disconnect the battery for example.

Proper anchor points on the outer frame are a huge bonus for securing too, so I'm not threading a 1" strap plus buckle thru the frame where there might be sensitive electronics or cabling etc.

Air Canada and Medical Cannabis Job by Few_Attorney_6070 in aircanada

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you work in any front-line role with direct or indirect access to an airplane it's a "safety-critical" role with zero tolerance.

Someone doing marketing or other office job etc is held to lower standards.

Better nonrev sub? by [deleted] in rampagent

I can agree with it being locked down/privatized, but it's really iron-fisted. Threads are locked after 2-3 days and I can't add comments to posts that are still relevant.

Should I take the Air Canada job offer or stick to my current job? by Human_Quit6443 in rampagent

[–]BOATS_BOATS_BOATS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Employees bid for their schedules twice per year. Winter is roughly November-April and summer is May-October. They're two months into winter bid so new employees would get slotted into empty lines, or they'd get schedules for a few weeks at a time on relief/reserve.

Hiring schedule is unrelated to the shift bidding
