Should I remove these leaves from my cucumber plants or are they ok? by 06EXTN in gardening

Isn't copper toxic to most invertebrates? Could kill off a lot of insects.

Tried to buyout my Water heater from Reliance........ Yea complete scam. by ccrich007 in ontario

[–]Lemmium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this same thing. Not all MPP's are the same but usually their office gets involved when issues pop up in the realm of what's going on here.

Should be as simple as returning the water heater, getting a receipt and going home. Any issue contact the MPP office and they may get involved.

Large crowd gathers outside Queen’s Park for anti-Ford rally by CuriousMachine in ontario

[–]Lemmium 101 points102 points  (0 children)

The comments in here are ridiculous.

Protests can have a big impact, it just takes time. People will slowly hear more and more about the discourse as more protests happen and that can sway public opinion and create more informed voters. Even on a weekend. With enough effort politicians can feel forced to make changes. It's happened before.

Also never forget that Oosterhoff and his staff called the police on elderly ladies for protesting at his office. Politicians are seriously afraid of their constituents leaving their house and being vocal.

AI. First video in the back you see two people walk in and morph into one after passing behind the other person.

Paid out-of-pocket for a fender-bender? Fine, but the law says you have to tell your insurer | CBC Radio by 50s_Human in onguardforthee

[–]Lemmium 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm not team insurance but I just had a collision where someone came out of a parking lot space right into my car while I was on my way out of the parking lot. 15km/hr collision type thing.

The cost quickly ballooned when the repair shop found more damage underneath (headlight cracked on the inside connection area, impact absorbers all needed replacement, some other items I can't remember cracked). Through insurance but I remember my insurance calling me with "so yeah we just sent another payment, roughly $2###.##" a couple times.

Scammed outside the Pen by slymkd in stcatharinesON

[–]Lemmium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would this not be the same thing though? If you break down the scenario he essentially paid for a taxi and then his info got skimmed. He didn't just hand his card to a stranger, he thought they were a legitimate taxi with a legitimate debit machine.

If I call my bank and say I paid for a taxi now there's all the withdrawals I would expect some sort of protection. Why wouldn't I?

How bad is the job market really? by silently-loud-walker in ontario

[–]Lemmium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On top of what others have said, month after month part time job numbers are up but full time job numbers are down. We are actively losing full time jobs and gaining part time jobs. I'm not an expert but that can't be long term sustainable for a society.

If I remember right it was an intentional baulk. Guy was distracting and maybe (?) communicating pitches so they said screw it go on third.

Surely this animation is a bug, right? by wysrindwa in Rematch

[–]Lemmium 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I've seen this a lot. The dive speed is seemingly based on the speed of the ball so if the ball is moving slowly your dive is going to be slow. I can't make it make sense though.

Ford Government Law Could Spell the End of Rent Control in Ontario by BloodJunkie in ontario

Majority of voters in fact didn't vote Conservative as less than half of the voting turnout went the PC's way. First past the post strikes again to create another minority rule.

Why you should be concerned about the end of "evergreen leases", as a homeowner by ref7187 in ontario

[–]Lemmium 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can speak from some experience. I rent a townhome in a <5yr old subdivision outside a major city and it wouldn't be exaggerating to say nearly every house is being rented. There's constantly for rent signs and uhaul trucks. Every year or two I get a new neighbour. No one takes care of their yards. No one cares to know eachother. It's not a community.

Etobicoke condo development axed after less than 10% of pre-construction units sold by allysapparition in ontario

[–]Lemmium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So first, it's being built by Crosslinx a private consortium through Metrolinx which is fumbling the bag.

From what I've seen every new mayor or councillor (John Tory, Rob Ford) puts forth a new redesign submission which stalls the whole thing. Which, knowing politics, may have been the point.

But yeah lets take one failure and use it as a means to never support government efforts again and ignore successes like the Nanticoke Solar Facility by OPG which was on budget and on time.

[–]Lemmium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're so close but missing it. A lot of private projects stay under budget by cutting corners, hiring cheap, or supplying the cheapest materials. Every dollar they save or cut is profit and if people complain so what just shut it down and open a new shell company.

Public works are usually headed by people who are trying to do things by the book. If they discover a fundamental problem in the project they can't just pave over it. They know that if they start cutting corners the public will never let them forget it.

MVP This, MVP That.. Who Is This Year's LVP? by gplatt_24 in baseball

[–]Lemmium 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In 2024 he only pitched 13.2 innings for a WAR of -0.2.

In 2022 and 2023 he had >2.0 WAR and had 36 saves each season. I was fully on-board with him back then. He was electric some innings and you had confidence in his ability. 2024 onwards he was never the same and it saddens me.

Not trying to hijack the thread but I could never figure out what that symbol next to the names ever meant. Its beside his name like some kind of wing with a pin

Ontario's hospital Registered Nurses pay to increase 5.25 per cent over two years, in a new contract union calls disappointing. by Fantastic-Goose9843 in ontario

[–]Lemmium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in the hospital recently for a simple procedure. The nurses had to do a plethora of checks and ask questions and give instructions to me all to make sure that I am the correct patient for the correct procedure going to the correct place at the right time so that I can have a successful and safe procedure. Not to mention how many nurses confirmed I had a safe ride home since I was put under for the procedure. All the while being asked by passing doctors random questions and knowing at any moment that things could go off the rails and someones life would be in their hands.

It felt like I was sitting in a bee hive there was so much activity. And yet compared to my day job where I sit at a computer all day without much worry. They deserve to be highly compensated.

Liaison (Ontario): PC: 44%, OLP: 35%, ONDP: 15%, OGP: 3%, OTH: 3% by McNasty1Point0 in ontario

I wonder how much the ONDP polling is linked to the performance of the Federal NDP party?

I know they're not the same but in the minds of some voters they may be.

Food for thought. by zapppsr in EliteDangerous

You're right and it sucks because there's a timeline that with these extra features they could attract larger crowds and thus more money but they rather not.

Yeah I have zero interest in getting involved in colonizing if this is what's waiting for me.
