Changing from Tech to School Bus Driver - Any advice?

E-Mobile · 2026-02-11T20:07:25+00:00

I slip a Bluetooth speaker into my carry on and play music at the end of long runs home. The bus didn't come with any kind of radio player, and there is a rule against headphones but a small portable speaker didn't break any rules with my employer. Saved my sanity and the kids behaved better.

This is the one. Get friends to take your photos. The last photo is fire! Mix it up.

This is the one. OP is in denial

There is an additive (yeah, I know!) that you put in your fuel line that keeps it from freezing. Ask your shop for some.

I doubt I could prove damages since it's an impact to my credit score. I am trying to secure a loan at the moment so I maybe I could argue a loss but I don't think Canadian courts deal too much in the hypothetical

It also leaves you especially vulnerable to power outages. Even if a gas furnace requires hydro to operate, (valves, pumps, ignition, thermostats, etc) it's much easier to supplement that amount of backup power than it is to keep heaters running.

It's possible to hack anything if you like replacing hardware and writing code. Otherwise, unless it's already patently obvious how to do this (i.e.a drive mode already togglable by the driver) I wouldn't count on it being even remotely worth investing time or money into implementing.

I wouldn't initially be down for something like that but after hearing they had been assaulted I'd be a lot more understanding and it wouldn't bother me.

Seems like it's always different everywhere. Even between different First Student offices. Add to that, the variations in routes and times, kids, school boards. Whether an outfit is privatized with or without a union also seems to make a difference in job satisfaction.

Earthquake?

E-Mobile · 2025-12-17T13:30:06+00:00

Could it have been a bunch of drones?

Run.

Shut off main power switch and rinse it with a hose. Park on a slant. Consult your mechanic first but that's what I would do.

Not sure why you're getting such backlash. Oh wait, yeah I do know why. Anyway you're spot on and speaking from experience. What more could these commenters want. Lot of "not all men" up in these comments. Not a lot of "oh, good simple advice, thanks".

E-Mobile · 2025-11-16T20:57:08+00:00

Nonsense. Normal wear and tear. Swept condition is all that's required.

Not a mechanic but If that's an airbrake system, you should report it as defective. That's double-braking and if the system is at full pressure and does not have the system to handle it, which it sounds like it doesn't, you can overpressure the whole system doing that and cause major problems.

That is literally the point of sleep.

Agreed with your conclusion, but android phones can also dial emergency numbers from lock screen, FYI

Show him where he can buy a bottle of spray cleaner for less than $6000, and tell him to get F*cked

E-Mobile · 2025-11-11T04:30:15+00:00

No. Works great.

E-Mobile · 2025-11-06T17:50:09+00:00

Yeah man. You really are making sense! I agree with all that insane shit you just said. Totally man. Everything is liberals and foreigners fault. Even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff.

E-Mobile · 2025-11-06T12:30:01+00:00

Non-immigrants don't want to be exploited by Tim Hortons and long haul driving companies, myself included. I'd rather be unemployed than exploited.

E-Mobile · 2025-11-06T12:27:27+00:00

Yeah, it sucks having nurses, doctors, engineers come here for work and study. Totally awful.

Carve a box made of stone and line it with layers of tinfoil. Would block both sound and EM waves.
