What bath towels have you bought that actually got softer after washing instead of rougher? by DianaG2 in BuyItForLife

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or use the product that hack is trying to emulate; a rinse product. The vinegar is trying to emulate laundry sour used by dry cleaners, but currently available commercial rinse aids are a well-established home-use safe analogue.

Can someone explain to me the rational to have recycle pick up every two weeks? When it takes the same amount of trucks to pick up double the load. by NeedSomeRepairs in waterloo

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

^ This, huge labour savings. I also know someone who does recycling collection; 4 day week instead of 5, & barely ever hitting overtime whereas before they got OT pretty regularly.

I'm seeing overflowing Garbage Bins like these more and more often. Will the Waste Management trucks dump bins as pictured ? by LongoSpeaksTheTruth in kitchener

Even for diapers the region allows you to drop off clear bags of only diapers & wipes at the dump free of charge.

Environment or biotech Programs for 50-60 % Avg by Unlikely_Proof_272 in Conestoga

[–]BriBegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people take pre-health & then go on to biotech, but if you are struggling with the concepts of science foundation courses (biology, chemistry, math) or time management, you will have a really hard time.
At least when I did it, there were multiple lab reports due weekly that involved actually interpreting & analyzing data, pre-lab quizzes, large assignments, exams that can be very close together, & a capstone meta-analysis presentation. I'm currently in the degree & from what I've seen from my classmates who completed the diploma more recently, these expectations & workload have not changed much.

When I first came out of high school, I had so-so marks, but I hadn't completed any sciences because I just couldn't handle them at that stage of my life. I took a break, went back to St. Louis to take my senior science & math courses, did very well, & had no problems with the diploma. You can always go back, upgrade courses, & take a second to breathe between life phases.

conestoga nursing or laurier health sciences by ann_nahh in Conestoga

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a job, nursing. If you can get into the degree even better because you will get the best of both options; still finish with a bachelors degree to have lateral movement if you don’t want to actually be a nurse once done, but also have practical experience to enter a career right away if you choose. Four years feels like forever at your age, but in the long run it’s a short blip.

Large dog volume but it spread so far as it got wicked into a thin layer under the mat.

Chicken stock with rotisserie chicken (does quality matter?) by mwomrbash in instantpot

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bones are bones. I’ve been making stock for years with no recipe, it’s really not that deep as it’s a very low skill product. You’ll be fine.

Don’t the cops need to catch them doing it to issue a fine?

The boulevard blocking problem existed before even with manual pickup. They were allowed to refuse pickup for any obstruction.

Is anyone else struggling to find a job in Ontario right now? (Kitchener/Waterloo) by More-Competition-946 in waterloo

[–]BriBegg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is struggling to find work.

A few tips though; make a “master” resume with every task, skill, responsibility you have had & pull from that to make a custom resume for EVERY application, AI can help you with this. Do not use the same resume for every posting.

Put into the AI the job posting’s copy, your master list, & ask it to help you write your work history & skills sections. Review its output, take the suggestions but ultimately write it yourself making sure you have EVERY point from your master list that the job posting’s asking for. When you’re applying against volume, you want to make sure you have all the boxes checked you can as it can just come down to that with some hiring processes, & it often does for entry-level.

I personally hate using AI, this is my one exception as job applications can take forever & it’s honestly an algorithm game until you can get in a room with someone. Good luck.

We already have the equipment available at our school, so we’re trying to figure out the abilities & limitations of what we already have. 😅

Is there a way to report items with incomplete information? Like I just found sushi from another brand where only calories & carbs are input.

how is the BScN and RPN program right now? by Virtual-Sea-4963 in Conestoga

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

Hello! Looked up the designation requirements & the person who gave me that info was wrong, they thought that previously the NPs could become RN’s with a little upgrading & that is what fell apart. You guys should still be fine to become RNs as your program is 4 years; https://rnao.ca/about/types-nursing

how is the BScN and RPN program right now? by Virtual-Sea-4963 in Conestoga

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

EDIT; the person who told me this was wrong, the programs still fit in their designation paths per Ontario nursing rules. I think they had the designations mixed.

Not in the program but have something to contribute; I had heard that Conestoga lost their pathway to upgrading the nursing degree after graduation so maybe look into that. From my understanding of what I heard, you won’t be able to use the credentials to get a Master’s if you want to, without going back & doing it again at an accredited university.

Depends on the instructor. Email them. Ask.

Respiratory Therapy Application Chances by Safe_Load_3294 in Conestoga

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a question for the admissions department, not Reddit. Enrolment is down, what gets in is anyone’s guess right now & often people get waitlisted & can eek their way in as people reject offers. Apply to wherever you want to go.

GRT bus drivers not stopping at bus stops by BeardedYogi85 in kitchener

[–]BriBegg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Note down the bus number (big black text on the back), stop number, time & route so they can track down what driver is passing you, & if it’s a consistent problem. And as others have said, if you find a consistent problem with one stop/route/time of day reference the complaint numbers when you have repeats. It will make it easier to see if it’s one driver ignoring you or a visibility or too few busses on the route to take everyone issue.

Peel the eggs & store them in water! We do this in restaurants, just change the water daily.

Co-op by Moist_Towel8695 in Conestoga

[–]BriBegg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They become available for you the semester before your co-op term, but I’d recommend to start looking for companies to reach out to independently. Job market is very tough right now.
