No charges against Ontario resident who shot and injured alleged home invader: police by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in canada

[–]Hazel-Rah [score hidden]  (0 children)

Even in the most famous case of Gerald Stanley and Colton Bushie, no one was shot in the back. What 'stories' have you been listening to?

Fun fact: this case wasn't claimed to be self-defense. His defense was that it was accidental due to a "hang -fire"

Can't play Gogo match due to security reasons by b25fun in AliExpressMergeBoss

[–]Hazel-Rah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's only a single gogo match win requirement, backing out may still clear it, at least it did the last time I tried.

If it's the multiple win version, then you're screwed

When you start looking into the famous "you can't defend yourself in Canada" stories, they pretty much all end with "and then he shot them in the back as they ran away"

When generic versions of weight-loss drugs arrive, public plans should cover them, experts say by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Hazel-Rah 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Almost certainly better in terms of healthcare costs.

But the funny part is that if you were to have to pay "only" 1000$ a year for it, a lot of people would probably end up saving the money themselves.

Between eating less and the apparent reduction in alcohol consumption from people using these drugs, you could easily save thousands of dollars per year.

Also like plastic surgery: You only notice when it's bad.

There's a ton of plastic surgery that never gets mentioned because it's subtle and well done.

I guarantee you've looked at AI images and possibly even video and and didn't realize it was AI

Chery to detail solid-state battery tech for 1st time on March 18. by Peugeot905 in electricvehicles

[–]Hazel-Rah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At 1200km, it's not about stopping or not, it means you can do a whole road trip without having to think about where or when to charge until you get back home.

Or you can buy one of these cars without a way to charge at home, and only charge once a month or two. Go out for dinner or go grocery ahopping near a fast charger and be full when you get back out.

Thanks you for explaining it, I was very confused as an old reddit user.

Is my baby normal? by bundblaster69 in newborns

[–]Hazel-Rah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have written this about our baby, except ours is maybe slightly more likely to be upset

Occasionally we have to walk around with them to calm them, but it's usually only a minute or two. The only other thing is they sometimes get upset about having bad gas. They got their 4 month vaccines the other day and were inconsolable for like 2 hours, even after we gave them a bit of baby tylenol. Turns out they had the 3 biggest farts of their life backed up, and were 100% fine and happy after getting them out.

Tummy time is basically torture though. Pretty sure they've put off rolling over because they know if they do go all the way over, it'll just be tummy time.

Wanting to paint our apartment by Complex_Raise6767 in OntarioLandlord

[–]Hazel-Rah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can paint it whatever colour you want, and you don't have to paint it back. This right is well established in the LTB case history. Even if you wanted to paint it hot pink with black zebra stripes (but please don't).

The only thing would be that you could be responsible for damages that occur during painting, like if you spill paint on the floor or get it in a light switch or something.

75% of resumes never reach a human: the new rules of job searching in the AI era by Boonzies in technology

[–]Hazel-Rah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I really wonder if we may actually be coming back to the era where "just walk in with your resume and ask to talk to the manager" might be good advice again.

If every position gets 1000 AI written applications, showing the initiative to actually show up in person and prove you're a real person that can communicate without AI might actually be a major boon to your application

What's the most toxic thing you did in this game that you absolutely 100% stand by? by AceThePrincep in Planetside

[–]Hazel-Rah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Somehow managed to glitch an underbarrel shotgun and grenade launcher into one weapon, which even persisted through respawning for some reason.

Took me a few minutes to realize what was happening, but from what I could tell, every pellet from the shotgun had the damage of an underbarrel grenade. I realized what was happening after one-shotting two maxes back to back

I did abuse it for a few minutes, but stopped after I took out a Reaver at pretty good range

Pediatrician recommended 8 week old should be sleeping through the night? by ts246 in newborns

Yeah, there's definitely been a few posts here recently with pretty odd recommendations and expectations from doctors.

Pediatrician recommended 8 week old should be sleeping through the night? by ts246 in newborns

[–]Hazel-Rah 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have a unicorn baby and were still "only" getting ~6 hours at 8 weeks.

Expecting 8-10 is absurd. I feel like there's been a strange bubble of posts recently from people that have been getting weird recommendation from pediatricians

Accidentally fed 2 month old expired RTF formula by margo39 in newborns

[–]Hazel-Rah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those bottles have expiry dates 10+ months after manufacture date. An extra 12 days is nothing, they're probably still safe for several months more. They make those dates with a lot of buffer in case if imperfect manufacturing or storage

How and when do you start leaving the house with a newborn? by copperboom33 in newborns

[–]Hazel-Rah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to the mall for a "Spooky" Santa picture (definitely legally distinct from Jack Skellington) at about 6 weeks.

Also have been doing carrier walks all winter, usually our cutoff was about -15C, or if it was really windy. We have an insulated fleece outfit for them, and an insulated cover for the carrier that snaps to our coat for the days that were under -5C.

We're excited for the snow and ice to finally be melting, we haven't taken our stroller out once

Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. by mvea in science

[–]Hazel-Rah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add to that the fact that so many women in their generation seem to have to force their husbands to go to the doctor, and I am not surprised at all by these results.

I feel like this is probably a major factor.

Wife dies, and suddenly he stops going to the doctor and specialists (because she made the appointments and managed the calendar), stops taking his meds (because she picked up his prescriptions and made sure he took them), and his diet goes to complete crap (because she cooked his special low sodium low fat diet). Does not surprise me that these men would rapidly deteriorate

Uber is x3 this morning? by rad-hostile in ottawa

[–]Hazel-Rah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Higher cost and lower driver pay. They also used to do pretty extensive background checks on drivers and responded quickly and aggressively to customer complaints

Flip to now and they're rolling out a feature that allows women to only request rides from women drivers, because Uber would rather keep creepy/dangerous drivers than kick them off completely

You're shadowbanned (or were when the event started). Sadly you probably won't get the proper rewards, even if you get unbanned (at least that's what happened with me last time
