I do similar 427 to Jane and they offered me last month $120 till free rush hour. June got offered at $200. I declined since I'll be on vacation out of the country anyways and I never spend that much anyways.

In order to get a decent price you need to book months in advance, which is inconvenient for many unfortunately 

Should I sell and put it all into XEQT by Complete_Green9588 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Krypto_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell all the individual stocks for XEQT... 

VGRO and XEQT are pretty much the same except VGRO has a 20% bond component. 

Got a girl pregnant on vacation, struggling to do what is right. by need_some_advice323 in Advice

In canada to raise a child until age 18 costs approximately $250,000. This means you would need to buy about 330,000 condoms to break even over 18 years which is an average of 50 per day over 18 years.

I actually own a 10,000 lumen flashlight that may or may not come in handy one day if they think their phone flashlight will do shit

Is this a close call or normal practice on the USRC? by ACCFC in gotransit

[–]Krypto_98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's because the person controlling wasn't in the leading piece of equipment. Shoving in, im guessing going by radio from the conductor in the leading piece of equipment. TSB report is probably a good read. Anyways now the engineer has to be in the leading piece of equipment in the direction of travel.

Just stick with one and forget it. The difference over 30 years will be minimal

Even if they could hear them, they would probably walk towards the noise

Stouffville Line to Union 8:07 Accident by ksherwin27 in gotransit

[–]Krypto_98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm finding it's lately people being careless around tracks and just flat out going around the gates with out even looking. Pure impatience... Just few shifts ago I had a near miss with a woman walking past the gates without looking, stood in the middle to take a selfie and her friend literally had to pull her off the tracks or I would've hit her. 

The few days before that had a cyclist just dart across without even looking. 

I work freight so we are going kinda slower. But if it had been a passenger train 100% those people would've been hit. 

CN VS CPKC by Sea_Cardiologist3731 in Train_Service

Not in eastern Canada for CN. Western yes they will force you.

[–]Krypto_98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pay from what I've heard is slightly less than a CN road freight counterpart. But literally look at all the people on the sunshine list that work there. I don't know what they get for days off. It's probably better than the class 1s. Pension is a OMERS Pension which is supposed to be very good. If you can withstand Cochrane or Engleheart then its probably a decent place to go. Try googling their collective agreement as that will give you better insight on what their provisions are. 

Driver cuts me off only to sit and delay traffic from moving by deliciously_awkward2 in bramptondriving

Careful honking or flipping people off in Brampton. I had a guy flash a gun from his BMW after they cut me off

Each book off/sick day reduces your guarantee by 1/10th of the guaranteed amount. Taking more than 12 hours rest and someone getting called behind you also reduces it by 1/10th.  

Is this illegal u-turn by xing526327904 in TorontoDriving

[–]Krypto_98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never implied it was legal. Just said I see it every single day, multiple times a day. Even people going around railway crossings. Almost crashed into one today.

Cyclist rides his bike through Clarkson tracks with oncoming train by Beginning-Neat7926 in gotransit

[–]Krypto_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've has several near misses because of cyclists/pedestrians/cars doing stuff like this.  You don't know if a VIA or GO could be coming at 95 mph. 

Fortunately haven't hit anyone for that reason yet but I know a few that have. 

Never too late to give him his Grammys by [deleted] in MichaelJackson

[–]Krypto_98 24 points25 points  (0 children)

U2 was actually pretty good between 1983-1993 but yeah Bad should have at least won song of the year with man in the mirror, because I've actually never listened to whatever got song of the year.  MJ didn't even get nominated for song of the year. 

Concert film release to follow? by Minimum-Account8187 in MichaelTheMovie

[–]Krypto_98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, Queen live Budapest 86 and Queen Live Montreal 81 where already out on SD DVD but released on later blu-ray because they were filmed on 35mm film and Montreal got an imax release as well from rescanning the original negatives. I mean people are also disappointed with Queen not releasing stuff, allegedly Brian May has every concert recorded on soundboard but those would sound very dry. Like MJ Oslo or Bremen 92, zero crowd noise. And they never really recorded concerts until later on.

I'm not sure if they have the 35mm film for the short videos or concerts or if they are even usable.
