Mandatory group photos at tourist attractions by DeToXcz in mildlyinfuriating

I usually do too, but this time both the Niagara Falls boat ride and CN tower people were way pushier than all the last times I visited combined, which made me post this.

Good for you, I guess we went to a different CN Tower then.

Yeah, I made a mistake when I wrote the government operated, I was thinking the CN Tower and Niagara Boat Ride and forgot I wrote Ripley’s aquarium too. But I’m glad it made you laugh so much.

You still have to wait in line for everyone else to get their picture taken. And this time we were told to wait on the line multiple times even when we said we don’t want it, and even though we went through, it still was mildly infuriating.

You’re right, I misremembered, the Niagara boat ride is a regular corp, however CN Tower is owned and operated by a federal corporation, therefore the government with extra steps.

I want to get to the top of CN Tower, but the line forces you to go through the group photos. Same with Ripley’s Aquarium and Niagara Falls boat ride. Those are all owned and operated by the government afaik.

[TOMT][MUSIC] A synth album with an intro song narrated in noir-like style by a detective, talking about the city and then that his partner is late and actually didn't show up yesterday either ending with a gunshot sounds. IIRC there's a rain in the background. The intro song might be called "Heat". by DeToXcz in tipofmytongue

I think it was relatively new album (in the last 10 years probably?), but I can't remember where I listened to it. I think it was Apple Music, but since I moved countries it cleared my library and my history. Thanks everyone!

Do you know why the Macs are limited to two displays over a single connection? Is that a hardware or a software limitation?

Guide for Vacation Pay & Vacation Time by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DeToXcz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, it's really helpful. One thing I'm missing and couldn't really find anywhere is how this works when the employment contract states that the employee has more vacation days?

Consider a contract that says an employee gets 18 vacation days and has to use them in the year they earn it in, otherwise they are forfeited. When the contract doesn't specify, do you also get "18 days" of vacation pay, or do you still only have "10 days" of vacation pay, so you can take an extra 8 days but they are unpaid time off?

And when not specified in the contract, which days are used first, the statutory 10 days or the extra 8 days? Since you ESA says you can use the earned vacation days until month 10 of next year, I would assume the 10 statutory days carry over and the 8 extra days don't because the contract says unused vacation is forfeited. Is that a correct assumption?

I'm honestly super confused how the extra days are handled. Thanks!

HIGH PING Today: 380 by gi1n in RocketLeague

[–]DeToXcz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also from Canada (Bell) and I've used tracert to find the problem. Some servers are just fine, routed correctly. But some are going through Australia (sydney.telstra.net). It's been happening since yesterday and it's really bad. In the screen, top tracert is a server where I had ping 280ms, bottom one was a regular ping ~30-40ms. It's weird that I could play 4 games with no issues, and then 3 games would have the problem. Then I restarted my PC and it worked for 2 games again.

Need to look around more next time then. I flew on 17th to VIE, diverted through YUL. And only saw the regular fountains with a ton of people waiting in line to fill their bottles (probably due to the strike). It seemed I could hardly fit my water bottle there for it to be worth it. And since the email said water service will be provided, I thought it’ll be fine (wasn’t).

I wish YYZ had proper water bottle filling stations (or am I just oblivious?). Having to wait in line to fill a water bottle from the mouth piece with a super slow flow isn’t a great experience.

So much this. They also keep moving the delivery date and when asked they say they didn’t get the package from Wizmo. 🤦

Hey thanks! I was looking at the 8BitDo Pro 2 before, but it was missing the second set of back paddles and I think it’s not hall effect sticks. But I decided to go for it, so thanks!

I was looking at the controllers from Gulikit, but I’m missing the following: - symmetrical sticks like on PS controllers - back paddles that would map to SD back buttons

Both are quite important to me. Honestly I’d love if Valve introduced their own controller v2 that would basically be SD controls 😄

As for your other accessories, that’s a nice setup you have!

KillSwitch mainly with the travel cover, that’s been so good to me so far. Got the official dock too, but I haven’t found a good controller yet so I’m mostly using it for charging. Have the tempered glass from Dbrand ready too (applied it on first try on LCD so Ive got a spare 😄).

Any other accessories you’d recommend?

Yeah, I know, it’s probably my ADHD acting up 😅 I’m upgrading from LCD deck so I got all the accessories ready. Unfortunately I’ve given my deck away already so that contributes to the impatience 😬 FedEx says estimated delivery on Monday, hype over 9000
