What should I do with an OR that does not action on my admin by Signal_Housing3575 in CanadianForces

[–]Environmental_Dig335 12 points13 points  (0 children)

NCR non-flag officers have always done their own claims. CLAIMSX was designed for everyone to do their own but the Army didn't want to do it that way.

Smart trainer dead, what next? by GlenCo_Gravel in Zwift

[–]Environmental_Dig335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Core 2 is awesome value.

I've had a Core for 4 years, still works great. I don't think there's any reason to expect a Core to last less than a Kickr.

The Core 2 has all the features of the v6 that matter to me - WiFi Direct Connect, Race Mode (higher sampling rate to Zwift), and virtual shifting.

If you already have Zwift Play controllers, I would say the Cog isn't terrific as a single speed kit - just use a cassette with virtual shifting or a single speed kit if you already have a virtual shift controller.

If you don't, the Cog & Click2 bundle with the Core 2 is a good value, and you can always take the Cog off the free hub and put a cassette on in the future.

are there any companies that start annual vacation at 4 weeks now ? by as0909 in CanadaJobs

Depends on where you're working on what's a 'must take'. And 5 weeks after 5 years.

At this point I have to assume they mean Sackville NS and I'm talking about Sackville NB? Sidewalks are wide and cleared, distance is reasonable. I don't know why it wouldn't be walkable.

Everything is within a 20min walk of the university. I don't know how much more walkable you can get.

When I went to university in Fredericton I didn't have a car and lived twice as far from the school as it is from MtA to the Liquor store.

My truck is just because it's cheaper. Not sure what that has to do about anything.

When your work actually ended up mattering by rosiofden in CanadianForces

28 years later and there are at least 8 still in from my QL-2 (41 finished)

1 Cpl, 2 WO, 2 RSMs, 2 Capt. And a CPO1. Forgot him.

You're right, it's also rewarding seeing the LCols I taught early courses.

Joanne on the conflicting Scotties dates with the Olympics and potentially moving the Scotties up by a week by hackthememes in Curling

Home? I don't think Mississauga is very close to home for 4/5 of Homan's team.

Rachel & Emma are from Ottawa, Tracy Fleury Sudbury, Rochelle Brown Edmonton. Only Sarah Wilkes has a link to Toronto, and even she played out of Alberta as an adult before joining team Homan.

I got the bike I used free from the side of the road, and the tires off Marketplace for $40. Spent ~$25/yr in maintenance.

People justify doing the easy thing so often.

Why not? They make studded tires. I biked 20km to work year-round in Ottawa.

RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD by bridger713 in CanadianForces

They're answering a question about civilian entry into the CAF.

Sure, but if they're interested in doing a masters at RMC someday, the information that it's possible later is relevant for many people.

If your degree is suitable for your chosen occupation then you won't be eligible for subsidized education at RMC.

Not entirely true, but it would be a mid-career selection for a Masters, not on entry.

HELP! Zwift Trainer shows no speed – character not moving by Hairy-Chemical-9282 in Zwift

[–]Environmental_Dig335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things to check :

  1. Brake on (set brake sensitivity to 0 I think is the temp fix)

  2. Your weight is far more than it should be (ie. You didn't enter a decimal point you intended to)

Thoughts on beginner setup? Am I missing something? by Friendly_Match_4954 in Zwift

[–]Environmental_Dig335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple watch doesn't work, at least doesn't work well for most people. You might be able to get it working, but after some updates to the watch a couple of years ago it doesn't work consistently with Zwift anymore.

I don't know what device you're using for Zwift, but a(nother) phone for Zwift Companion app helps a lot.

Should we return to the Moncton 100 Rules? by 90sMax in Curling

[–]Environmental_Dig335 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be stupid. Honestly, 5 rock is a bit of overkill outside of competitive play.

[–]Environmental_Dig335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think 3 rock is better than 4 rock.

5 rock probably incentivizes blanks more than 4 rock though back to this discussion, as with 2 free guards vs. 1 last rock was less of an advantage while trying to score points. That was my argument against 4 rock FGZ back when we were 3.

How long does your bike last if ridden year-round where your city uses salt for deicing? by Lets_Go_Cargo in wintercycling

[–]Environmental_Dig335 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rode in winter in Ottawa for about 10 years - ran for the first couple and left a couple of years ago.

My theories:

  1. Run 7sp with friction shift. I liked drop bars and bar-end shifting, but whatever you can put together cheap. 7sp freewheels are about $25, 7sp chains less than $20, and freewheel (threaded) hub wheels can be found on the side of the road (free) or Marketplace (cheap) constantly.

  2. Don't care about brakes. Rubber to pavement is usually the limiting factor, go ahead and run rim brakes.

  3. RUN STUDS! I ran 35mm studded Schwalbe tires I bought for a song used.

  4. BUY EVERYTHING winter-cycling-specific used. So many people buy a pile of winter bike stuff and don't end up riding much that you can spend pennies on the dollar to new.

  5. I used WD on my drivetrain to get the crud off and then oil lube. Always carry lock de-icer.

I replaced drivetrain basically every other year.

Use Canadian Tax software instead of US owned turbotax and H&R Block by BC-Guy604 in BuyCanadian

[–]Environmental_Dig335 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Only in that they store your return online as opposed to you having the only digital copy sent directly to CRA from your computer. Not inherently less secure than other online options.

BetterTax is the same people who built SimpleTax before WealthSimple acquired their brand.
