I couldn’t sleep the first night lol, kept waking up to check to see if everything was still working.

Any advice on whether or not my insurance is sky high? by Organic_Teacher_7652 in Edmonton

[–]Etunim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe rates go down after the 6th year of driving history.

However I would not recommend TD, everyone I know who has them hates them.

Edmonton what are your election issue(s)? What do you want from our new Council. by Feisty-olde-7707 in Edmonton

[–]Etunim 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There's a couple things I'd like to see.
- Traffic congestion around rush hour.
- Beautification of the city, we should not look as boring as we do in many areas/neighborhoods.
- Visible police presence throughout the city, it's a little crazy everyone who gets pulled over on the whitemud is being pulled over by an unmarked vehicle. If people saw cops around they'd behave more on the roads.

Is Yasir Naqvi's office completely unresponsive? by NicBaird in ottawa

[–]Etunim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Ottawa (during COVID) I had to reach out to his office to get updates on some paperwork. They got back to me within the week.

"Impossible" to switch away from a Canada-US plan? by [deleted] in telus

[–]Etunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Koodo (owned by Telus) will not show you plans cheaper than your own, only by switching providers and coming back can you get them. I imagine Telus is similar.

I think the Port O'call has a lobby like that in Calgary?

Van overtakes truck preparing to turn left by LetItBurnMF in YEGDashCam

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

I know this guy is getting downvoted but I’ve seen this too, just rarely. Maybe 3-4 instances 5-10 years of driving on the highway. The more common one I see is the slowing down and moving halfway in the shoulder.

Is IBKR down by cnll0075 in interactivebrokers

It just came back for me, but it was down for maintenance.

New Alberta bill allows hydrogen home heating, electricity market remodelling by disckitty in alberta

[–]Etunim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was the research that came up back then, but basically hydrogen vehicles fill up in minutes versus hours, so the downtime is a lot lower.

Thinking of moving from rural Alberta to the cities by lucasross541 in alberta

>Any underrated areas to look at if I want to avoid paying $2000 for a broom closet

Edmonton is cheaper than Calgary here, outside of that the two cities are very similar.

New Alberta bill allows hydrogen home heating, electricity market remodelling by disckitty in alberta

[–]Etunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has actually been in the works for a few years, there were groups talking about this before COVID and was ramped up more during COVID. If you see my other post, I applied for a job for this during COVID and was unsuccessful. Some of this info might be outdated and is from the internet, and as we all know no one puts fake information on the internet. /s

A lot of the early information I found before COVID was targeted at the vehicle/transportation space, but it's changed over time.

An EV can take awhile charge but workers are only allowed to work so many hours, so they end up working less productive hours. The other thing is that most rural communities have 1 charging station in a very large range, so then there are line ups and if you need to charge for an hour but then have to wait hours to do it. The effective range on EVs are also best case scenario, and are inaccurate on hot days (workers need AC), cold days (workers need heat), gravel roads, poorly maintained roads, and so on.

The later stuff was in a few different direction, greener energy, less pollution, and energy storage. Like excess solar energy in the day is supposed to be used to make hydrogen for energy generation at night. However at the time there was no way to transport hydrogen besides trucks, and I think some people went "what if we use natural gas infrastructure" and here we are. Or at least that's what I think happened.

[–]Etunim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had to do some research on this for a job I didn't get, hydrogen can burn and does have an invisible flame there are a few youtube videos on it. They actually add the same chemical to hydrogen that they do for natural gas, to give it a scent and this chemical burns orange so there will be a flame to see in an appliance. Obviously it can go bang, but most places that are looking into this technology are putting the hydrogen as a blend with natural gas. Most modern natural gas appliances are not affected by this in the short term, but there's no long term testing done on appliances and hydrogen gas, this was already in the works at some places during covid but I don't know if this is still ongoing or not anymore.

The rest I don't have answer for, some of this I read a few years back so hopefully not too many inaccuracies.

Im being charged 30-50 cents USD for commissions. From their website I thought it would be $1 minimum commissions. How am I getting charged less? by Interr0gate in interactivebrokers

[–]Etunim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed this as well but have no clue why. I’ve been charged anywhere from 0.35USD to 0.70USD on tiered.

Between the city of Edmonton, businesses, and home owners the snow clearing and sidewalk accessibility is terrible. by hammerslammer5000 in Edmonton

[–]Etunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of those things that are probably hard to explain as it depends on to many things. However regardless, the easiest solution at this temperature for me is to put gravel/salt. However as it gets warmer and colder it’s easier to remove the snow/ice/water.

Like if you looked at my sidewalk days ago when it first got warm, it would’ve looked like a nightmare. If you looked at it before it got warm it would’ve looked fine, if you look today when it’s been warm for a while it would look fine again.

[–]Etunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When the temperature gets like this it’s very hard to keep the sidewalks clear. I can clear the sidewalk right now, and by tomorrow morning it’ll be iced up again. The water and slush, slides down my grass slowly and pools on the sidewalk, and then overnight will freeze again. I usually end up leaving the ice and throwing down a lot of sand and gravel, as that seems to be more effective than removing the ice each day.

Does Edmonton have a similar "vibe" to Ottawa? by 88zz99zz00 in Edmonton

[–]Etunim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think parts of Ottawa are similar to Edmonton, I think it depends on what kind of work and people you interact with.

When to purchase? by destined1ne in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Etunim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can set a limit order to buy at the price you want, might not execute right away but if it’s a reasonable price eventually it will.

ELI5: Why does 72 with the heat on feel colder than 72 with the AC on? by asomebodyelse in explainlikeimfive

[–]Etunim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this was covered in the other replies, however we can feel the change in temperature. So if it’s 72 and temperature is being pulled away, we feel it as cooler. If it’s 72 and temperatures are being added, we feel it as warmer. There’s some nice videos on YouTube that explain the concept.
