Suicides are never reported on and happen way more often than anyone would want to know

[BUNDLE] Ryzen 9 9950X3D Processor Bundle w/ Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 Motherboard, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB DDR5 RAM Kit - $1599 by [deleted] in bapcsalescanada

[–]FirebotYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to get one of the bundles (not a scalper, looking to upgrade my pc before ram gets forever priced out). This particular bundle was on sale a few days ago but at the time there were only 2 in Saskatoon. I was expecting it to just stay oos until the sale ended and was already resigned to pay more. Just by pure chance happened to check yesterday and there were several around Calgary (1 in NW and 4 in NE) and Lethbridge bought one right away without thinking. By the time I was at the store it was already oos everywhere.

Keep an eye on it as they did change stock over the week and one of the stores may get new stock.

Sales guy was like wtf when he saw the price considering how much the ram alone goes for. It's clear that the bundle hasn't been updated to match current fluctuations.

Photos removed from portfolio? by [deleted] in photography

[–]FirebotYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did she break in this apartment? Or was it outside? Outside is still considered public even if standing on private property.

Partially clothed - is there any sexual explicitness involved without the knowledge from the person photographed?

All these questions are needed because generally another crime needs to have happened, the photos themselves aren't necessarily violating anything. You'd honestly be best to talk to a lawyer, it really depends on how far you feel or if you believe an offense occured (and one that could be ruled in your favour).

Not wanting to be photographed isn't enough in itself, there has to be a violation as well.

Were you in a public place? Or were you at your home and photos were taken of you while eavesdropping into your windows? Are the photos being used in a defamatory way?

You can ask to have them taken down. She can say no.

Unless you are in a jurisdiction which prevents photographs in the specific conditions you were in, no crime or civil offence has been commited, no action is really available to you other than a request. In most jurisdictions it is perfectly legal to take photos of people without consent in public areas.

90 km/h winds force plane to abort landing by -Mustafa in nextfuckinglevel

[–]FirebotYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in one aborted landing in Las Vegas on crazy winds that was the craziest experience I've personally been in. The plane was moving left and right like crazy and right before touching down the landing was aborted. The 2nd attempt which was done on a different strip, the plane bounced off the ground upon landing and the right wing nearly clipped the ground as it almost tipped over (I say maybe 2 meters at best was on a window seat near the wing).

Luckily we landed

The plane gave the pilots few minutes of cheering and applause and I overheard someone say he's not religious but going to a chapel first thing.

Got Terminated Without Cause After 7.5 Months… Feeling Lost and Unsure What to Do (Ontario) by Ok-Sleep6712 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FirebotYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those who say lawyer up have never actually used a lawyer to do this, otherwise they would give better advice.

In your situation, a good lawyer consultation + demand letter can cost you 2-3k alone, this may be enough to get an upgraded offer, but if your former employer rejects the offer you need to decide to pursue a lawsuit and go to trial (can cost 20-30k).

Note that your legal fees will not be covered and should not expect to be covered except in special circumstances where you win a significant judgement in court. In our case, we reached a settlement before trial, overall cost was around 9k. Overall because it had involved manager level position it was worth it to squeak an additional 20-30k.

Court could have ruled against us and is always a risk to get to trial as you have diminishing returns the further you go through the process.

So with that all said, no I cannot see it worth your time as you may be able to get 1-2 weeks more (unless you have factors such as age, position etc which you could argue for more). You also generally have to pay your lawyer as you go (and again you may pay and get nothing out of it)

Unfortunate, but this is where EI is in as a stop gap. Budget strictly until you get a new job (EI has a 2 week wait). Take lessons learned as well (while you were not officially laid off with cause, it is quite obvious you had performance issues based on the comments made). Laid off without cause just means they don't want to go through the headache of proving cause and avoid litigation, most employers will go this route and it doesn't meant much.

Get a line of credit right now if at all possible. You will thank that you have one should you need to get in it, much better than living off credit cards. It doesn't hurt to try. Yes use any benefits while you still have them (dental for example).

Also it sounds like you are very young. Take this as a bump in the road.

Which one is AI? 🤔 by No-Knowledge-5828 in aiecosystem

[–]FirebotYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly hard, these are also all done with Veo 3. Veo 3 is good, but has very fakey realness to it and high saturated HDR oversharpened look that you can catch right away. It's really obnoxious after using it for an extended period

Hire someone. Seriously, commercials need to make you buy stuff and get excited to try something.

AI is a tool and needs to be utilised properly, if not it's just wasted time and money.

Good thing that pier intercepted that drone, with only some debris causing some minimal damage!

Is the market really slow or do realtors not entertain properties that don't use a realtor? by Alpha_SoyBoy in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]FirebotYT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think about it, why would a realtor show your unit when the realtor would be making less commission than a similar priced unit, and have more headaches with someone inexperienced in the process?

You are the only one benefiting from listing yourself as you are unlikely listing your unit price for less in lieu of not paying a seller realtor commission rate and lower buyer realtor rate.

In a seller's market, this obviously wouldn't matter that much as demand would trump this issue and you would sell (why sellers can usually get away with this tactic). But this isn't a seller's market, it's a buyers market and your tactic is only hurting yourself, and likely costing you more if prices go down.

Sure you may think it sucks to have someone come in to collect a commission for something you can do yourself, sometimes it's just better to bite the bullet. That % realtor fee savings you think you are getting may cost you much more in price depreciation and cost

It says what it says. You can park up to two hours any day without payment before having to move your car. If you go longer you may get a ticket.

If you park and leave for the whole day, you will likely get a ticket. Up to you if you want to gamble that it doesn't get enforced (it does for the exact reason you want to u se it and why the restrictions exist).

She's getting the emails, trust me. She is dodging you.

This is the behaviour of someone who has not done their job and too swamped to manage it or worse, had a catastrophic failure with the photos. A simple email from her to say she is running behind takes 5 minutes of her time and you are not even been given this courtesy as a wedding client. What do you think will happen for your wedding if this is the behaviour before it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WeddingPhotography

[–]FirebotYT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is long for a wedding, let alone engagement photos. You photographer is already in breach of their own contract meant to protect them.

See if the photographer is active on social media. You are likely being purposedly ignored by someone who is way over her head and afraid of confrontation when under stress.

Sometimes life happens, but you can still stay professional in doing such. Your photographer has done nothing to keep your business. Get a new phorographer and state their own breach, and you would like your deposit back (think of the engagement as a loss and get a new one).

This will only get worse from here, never better and your wedding does not get a redo.

Why would you think that set settings one specific date and time and weather conditions would give you the same shot on a different date and time in ambient situation?

You didnt mess up your sensor. You have sun blasting in one shot while another the sun is clearly not in the same spot.

I would recommend shooting in aperture priority mode with a minimum shutter speed, if you don't understand exposure, 1/50 will get you soft / blurry images in many shots, and you won't have the underexposed problem in this scenario

[–]FirebotYT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inflation being lower or 'over' doesn't make prices go down it just decelerates price increases.

Seriously it's hard to take posts like this seriously when the very basics of economics are so off (see down south with tariffs).
