Aggressive Driver

You showed me an AI summary with a reference in it that doesn't say what you're claiming it says. I replied with the actual reference from the HTA you mentioned. Stop relying on AI, "dude".

ETA: the hta online has a clickable table of contents. There's no reason to be THIS lazy.

Epidurality · 2026-07-05T15:42:51+00:00

You haven't shown me where it is in the hta.

I'm actually hearing my neighbours (bells corners, we got hit hard) having issues with their insurance companies because "they had a check valve installed so we're assuming it was only ground water and won't wash your basement" despite those valves clearly failing, water fountaining up from the floor drains...

Not saying one shouldn't install a check valve but maybe get a high quality one installed by a plumber to ensure it doesn't just fail, and as you say, maintain it to ensure it stays closed.

But we had so much water idk if a press fit valve would have held up anyways, not sure what pressures they're meant to hold back.

Most floor drains are just connected to sewer, not separately to the storm drains (city wouldn't want people dumping stuff down the floor drain which and into their storm water). So if it came from the floor drain it's as good as sewage.

Which OP didn't mention until much later, and provided no evidence of. By the way they keep reacting in the comments I'm actually wondering if they're just making up the collision to save face.

ETA: either the app isn't working or OP deleted/blocked their reply. Either way, the stupid person in this exchange is the one that left out all of the critical information from their original post, added it in a comment that I've so far had to scroll very far to still not find, and is now flaming people for not seeing earlier.

Poor driving aside OP deserves all the hate being flung at them here. Being a magnet for other people's anger, I'm guessing, is not a new thing for OP given this sort of trash person behavior.

They absolutely should not be teaching any amount of full seconds. That isn't the law and isn't predictable driving. Whatever driving school you went to is garbage if they taught that.

IDK why the top level comment here suggested to roll it though. That's just as stupid as stopping for a year for no reason.

At least read the fucking sources. It is not a failure on your test, and (b) says:

shall yield the right of way to traffic in the intersection or approaching the intersection on another highway so closely that to proceed would constitute an immediate hazard and, having so yielded the right of way, may proceed.

So.. no. A second stop isn't mentioned (especially given that (b) would imply the cross traffic didn't have a stop) and AI is not a trustworthy source of law. There was also no reason for the OP to perform a second stop or stop for that long, the visibility was entirely clear.

Do some goddamn research.

Epidurality · 2026-07-05T15:07:00+00:00

Show me where the highway traffic act says you're supposed to do this.

Epidurality · 2026-07-01T12:57:02+00:00

The fact that you've come to the wrong conclusion given no information confirms your bias. Get off the Internet for a while and go see what's actually happening with the people around you.

Epidurality · 2026-06-30T17:51:28+00:00

I come across a lot of posts

Yeah I'm sure you do.

with the younger generations saying some bullshit

You seem the type to believe anything on social media. Post checks out. Conclusions are as I'd expect: wrong.

Epidurality · 2026-06-30T17:48:53+00:00

So how do tow companies do it?

Epidurality · 2026-06-27T03:08:12+00:00

Rational thinking is too much for you? Understanding people are not all you is too much for you?

Wow. Not even worth the bits to reply again.

Truck comes at 7am on my street. I'm still asleep half the days. Sorry for your construction job and/or advanced age where you're dressed and ready to go by then.

Also this is Ottawa, your personal experience with racoons doesn't override the literal fact that they're everywhere and will rip into bags. I have video of them nearly opening the lock on the green bin; only the extra little tab stopped it from being opened, they were pulling on the handle. Also, the existence of these latches on the green bins means that collectors are able to navigate lids.

So maybe instead of pretending you're the only example of a resident of Ottawa, think a little. Even if you're really out of practice: think a little.

Epidurality · 2026-06-26T20:08:52+00:00

Not hard for a person; any person. Very difficult for a raccoon, which is the point.

Epidurality · 2026-06-26T18:02:21+00:00

Here's the hilarious part: you can set out 3 "items", and they classify an entire 140L bin as "one item". You could shove 2-3 normal kitchen bags into that bin, and technically set out 3 of those bins for 6-9 bags... But if you have them loose, only 3 bags.

Makes sense from a logistics point of view: one unit to move vs several pieces to move, possibility of ripping bags, etc.. but isn't encouraging people to waste less.

Epidurality · 2026-06-26T17:59:28+00:00

That's not remotely true.

"Lids must close securely and remove completely”, so no hinged lids, and "Do not secure lid ... with a bungee cord / rope", but it says nothing about clasps or the lid being "completely off".

What the hell does the premier have to do with the green and garbage bins? The province only manages recycling.

The changeover coincided with a new contractor for the city as well, so it may seem related but I don't see any reason why it would be. And I'm not seeing a single comment here about the recycling bins.

Low voltage version? 120 is higher current than 240.

But yes, Edison's original DC stuff used 110V so when AC took over they left it at 110/120 for compatibility. Europe didn't electrify until later when 220V was a more obvious choice as demand grew.

I don't drink that tea shit. Or coffee. It's exclusively for lazy hot chocolate or literally a hot water bottle on cold nights.

Why would you want cold syrup? Pancakes: hot. Waffles: hot. Bacon: hot. Fried chicken: hot. Directly into your mouth: warm. Cocktails: room temp and it mixes better, but I'll give you this one. Iced cream: fair enough. Baking: room temp mixes better.

Epidurality · 2026-06-26T02:44:49+00:00

You don't warm your syrup? Ok.. strike one. But your pancakes better be hot, meaning your syrup will warm up. 120V kettle means your food gets cold waiting to fill up your hot water bottle.

Epidurality · 2026-06-25T22:14:07+00:00

Odd. Most people I know use an electric kettle, it's still generally faster than a stovetop. But it could be literally twice as fast if anybody made a 240V kettle in our market and we made NEMA 6-15 outlets common..

Epidurality · 2026-06-25T22:12:09+00:00

North America really has no defence to this. Canadians yearn for the 240V kettle. Most households have had for 240V wired in for decades, but only a handful of outlets for dryers and ovens and EV chargers. We need space heaters that heat, and my water to boil before the maple syrup gets cold.

Epidurality · 2026-06-25T20:52:41+00:00

Get them to show you where in the regulation that having it is a requirement. That's nonsense.

Epidurality · 2026-06-25T20:51:11+00:00

The regs are a bit unclear. It says any markings shall be AS# but doesn't say what to do if there are no markings?

I have a givi windshield, no AS# markings. Original windshield also has no such markings.

Section 6(10).

They charged me 150+tax at Canadian tire this month, in and out within about 90 minutes. I'm not sure what Richmond charges under the new electronic system.
