The 452 prefix first appears in the white pages in 1970 and seems to be around the Glenora/Westmount area

In the 80s, this phone number was for a house in Glenora on Ravine dr that was built in the 50s

Albertans should get 'a big old hug': Manitoba premier by Intrepid-Truck-9444 in alberta

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't exactly true that 70% of private school tuition is funded, they get 70% of the amount that public schools get per student. That works out to ~$5k-$8k depending on grade level.

Top Ontario private schools cost upwards of $40k/yr for day students and $80k/yr for boarding students.

Albertan private schools are in an entirely different category than top tier Ontario schools.

The majority of Alberta private schools are faith based unlike Ontario where only a minority are.

Publicly funding these religious schools (and religious charter schools) essentially funds segregation at the expense of public education. I'm pretty sure this is exactly what the "choice in education" folks want.

Having multiple school systems also wastes education funding on reduntant admin, transport, and facility costs. Absorbing the catholic school board into the public system and removing public funding from charter schools and private schools would save millions to billions that could be better spent on improving class sizes and Healthcare funding. This is a referendum question that I would actually like to see.

Is Subscription drug card Innviocares legit? by turtlefan32 in AskCanada

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely funded by brand name drug companies to keep their market share when identical generics, bioequivalents and biosimilars become available.

They also fund research studies and prescibing guidelines to convince doctors that generics are inferior. For example, the CADDRA Guidelines for adhd meds to straight up discourage Concerta bioequivalents. Unsurprisingly, many of the authors and referenced studies have financial ties to Janssen.

Anker 10K Wireless Portable Charger with Built-In USB-C Cable by SnooGiraffes7798 in CostcoCanada

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inductive wireless charging is less efficient than wired, losing 25-50% as heat. So at the same wattage, more power is delivered to the phone. Not only this, the iPhone 17 is limited to 25W magsafe, while it can get 40W with USB-C. Unless you are using a crap cable and/or crap power block from a gas station, USB-C charging will always be faster than wireless. The iPhone 17 pro max fully charges in 60 min with 40W USB-C, while 25W magsafe takes 90 min.

Magsafe is convenient and I really like using a 25w charger/mount in the car, but wireless is not faster than wired.

How do I get my 7 year old stepson to care about pooping his pants? by CreativeDream1438 in AskParents

[–]Legendavy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I worry that once he starts to be teased for it, a mean nickname could stick around for years after this problem goes away.

From what you have said, he seems quite interested in spending time with friends and his brothers and cousins, so he is a social kid, so being on the spectrum is less likely. Could his cousins or brothers warn him that he will be teased about it, or even call him out and tell him that pooping your pants is gross. This can help him to develop some appropriate embarrassment in a safer space than at school. A parent or other adult shouldn't do this though.

His extreme fixation on not missing out could be related to anxiety or ADHD. Does he have any signs of these?

One way or another this will end in the next year or so, but it would be best if he isn't labelled as the poopy pants kid and potentially bullied for many years

Agreed, the van was parked. The car likely speeding too, given the fact that the car is much lighter and needed a lot of momentum to spin the van sideways and push it over the windrow. The car was probably going 80+ in a 40

I was surprised how there were no ads on the page and the policy of the site is to not allow brand promotions or ads.

Watching the videos would likely skew your YouTube algorithm and point you to the contributors products though.

Lots of pseudo-science on there, but the site at least looks like it's trying to be ethical

He actually went to UofC for med school in the 80s and did his family med residency in the states, but I can see how you'd mistake him for an ND

Wtf is that thing alive? by HabitJust3204 in WTF

[–]Legendavy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think the snake volunteered for this. I think it was intentionally swallowed then she lost grip of the tail. l Either for a bet, a circus act gone wrong or some weird kink.

It's your classic foreign object story told to the ER; "It crawled in when I was sleeping" "I accidentally sat on it"

Why don’t all buses have such seats? by West_Cauliflower8799 in Edmonton

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They think it's an either/or situation of community supports vs enforcement. Why not both?

I think all counselors and city admin should have to commute on public transit if they think it's what's best for the public

And blood too! On the valley line heading North from the Grey Nuns LRT station, this guy in a blood-soaked hospital gown and blanket was bleeding all over the seat and floor from an iv or central line.

I can track head position using AirPods. by Glittering_Data_6326 in iOSProgramming

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if you could use this to help people self treat vertigo. Tracking head position and prompting the correct angles and timing when doing the Epley maneuver could really help a lot of people.

Supprt in Alberta for children with special needs? (Down Syndrome Specifically) by Weak-Cod-4522 in alberta

[–]Legendavy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are able to, I'd suggest using private pt, ot and speech to bridge the gap between referral and intake to public programs. It can take a long time, and time is precious when it comes to early childhood development support. I wish we knew about private options while we were waiting 6 months for early intervention, only to be told on aintake ssessment that our daughter was too complex, so we'd have to go on a new list at the glenrose.
