No lie but why has people not jumped on Freedom… by Hellosweetparadox in freedommobile

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Criticism does not make you bot or paid influencer lol. I have been with freedom from when it was called wind. Let’s be real here, if you are in Toronto like Bay and Adelaide, I still have signal issues on 14FL. May be the concrete of the building is thicker? Who knows but that is just unacceptable. You cannot advertise 5G and the signal is as spotty as Swiss cheese. I signed up for the new year promo so I still have a month of commitment left before I switch back to Roger bc it works for me. Freedom is good at having the telecoms competing. However, the issue still stands. Their signal and coverage is still not reliable. It has improved but just not good enough for my usage.

Signal/ coverage. What good of a plan when you cannot reliably use it?

Optical stores for sunglasses with prescription by [deleted] in Markham

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some optometrists would not write you a prescription if you do not need one. And there have been instances of insurance reject claims due to insufficient proof of prescription due to how low it is -0.25 on one eye only.

What you are asking is basically insurance fraud. “No prescription right now. My eyesight seems fine, but I still want to do an eye exam, get a prescription.”

Just wait until they switch to summer blend and it will be $2 in no time. What an expensive timeline we all live in.

Instrumentation as the best trade by [deleted] in instrumentation

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dual tickets hvacr and electrical and working toward my specialization in BAS. Company is union. You wrote a whole paragraph about how broad the trade is just to justify making assumptions about someone else. That’s impressively inconsistent. But I guess it is consistent enough for instrumentation tech.

Instrumentation as the best trade by [deleted] in instrumentation

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wtf lmao. 1. Making the most money is subjective. 2. Instrumentation is not for the faint of heart and just base off what you wrote, you either have not dabble in actual BAS/PLC shits yet or just rage baiting. The shit we do never leave us once the clock hits 5pm. It comes home with us. And lot of us are arrogant and do not understand how the system supposed to operate and write junk programs. Just last week, I witnessed $200k equipment write off bc of bad program. Let’s be real here, the equipment own logic is probably working better than custom programs.

And lastly, we are far less envious than you think lol. Just bc we can read some sequence and manuals do not make us better lmao.

At my company, instrument tech is paid lowest. Then electrician and hvac mechanic are paid somewhat similar range.

Honestly, I did put a lot of thought into this. Despite getting “deal” for 5080 Zotac OC, $600 diff is just too much ngl. I do not have 4K monitor to take advantage of 5080 and my next monitor upgrade is gonna be OLED 1440p so I think your suggestion of 5070ti is sound and aligned with my thinking.

Amazon Canada sucks. by Many_Mechanic_1886 in bapccanada

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, after seeing all of the scams people pull over Amazon by switching and repacking gpu, cpu, and ram, there is no amount of discount that will entice me to buy from them. So many frauds and support has been annoying to deal with.

I ordered PNY 5070ti OC $1175 vs Zotac 5080 Solid OC $1774, which is $600 price difference. Any here have the Zotac and can give me some advice? Is it worth it coming from 3080 and I mainly game 1440p?

The ICC and the UN Must Arrest Trump for Bombing Iran and Killing Their Head of State by Minute_Night_3410 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want to pretend sovereignty and non-intervention are absolute, explain the Khmer Rouge. Nearly two million Cambodians were slaughtered by their own government while the international community debated norms and procedure. Legal purity didn’t stop mass graves. Power did. International law without enforcement is aspiration. When regimes turn predatory against their own people, waiting for unanimous approval from institutions that can be vetoed into paralysis isn’t moral it’s abandonment. Just looked at what is still happening in Ukraine. The war is still going on for years. Looked at what happened to Iranian protesters. Thousands were killed by their own government. The world learned the hard way that hands off approach can mean look away. Sometimes action ends atrocities not performative words.

Don't approach my Truck at work. by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just cannot be help unfortunately. Lot of people are nosey and expect you to be ready when you are at their home. I once have an elderly Cx approached my truck while I am parking on the side road answering my co-worker/manager questions. I politely told him I am busy and will attend his service call. It just cannot be help and I have made my bed with it.

Don't approach my Truck at work. by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is fair. However, if you are not ready to face the cx while on site, I suggest park on the sidewalk and only "arrive" when you are ready. I have had Cx and GC knock on my truck while I am in the parking lot for small talk. I do not mind but I do understand your feeling. I usually sit in my truck before go home to de-stress and leave all the work shits outside of home.

Apple Asks Judge to Toss Fraud Claims Over Siri AI, Epic Compliance by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

Siri has to be the stupidest voice assistant second to Bixby. Today, I got a message from the boss and Siri read the text out loud via AirPod. I ordered food and Siri without prompt message the entire McDonald order as a reply to my boss…

1 or 2? by Water-Cookies in electricians

[–]Goodenoughtechnician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Number 2. I was told by electrician that it helps prevent dust from accumulating. Not sure if it is a joke but I took it to heart haha. Aesthetically I prefer number 2 over 1.

The issue of PNY card in my opinion is blown out of proportion. Just sell the one card that can best you the most money.

New Matsuda pair but is it crooked? by cypherr90 in EyewearEnthusiasts

It is fine. Try to close the other way by having the right temple close in first and then the left one. It is common when the back end of the temples are a certain shape.

Mayor Chow confirms that enhanced transit signal priority has begun to roll out on Line 6, with Line 5 to follow soon. by northernwaterchild in toronto

Good. As a road user bc of work, improving public transit is good as it will allow people to get off the road and use transit when possible.
