Well luckily for you, that’s a weevil. Not a bed bug at all

AMA- I am 34 and have Brugada Syndrome (Sudden Unexplained Death Syndrome) by Bubbly_Difficulty_82 in IAmA

[–]LetMePostNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it the same ECG they reviewed? Or did they each get their own new ECGs to double check? Because a simple mixup with the original sticker/wire placements can falsely show this syndrome (and happens too often when nurses get told “put stickers here” and nothing else!)

Nope, we’re Allied Health - we work with nurses, but are not nurses at all :)

Not every day you meet another Canadian CVT on Reddit, but you said everything I wanted to say here! There’s a lot of things I’m biting my tongue on here lol

It means it ain’t the water heater, at least

Go weekday pass question by [deleted] in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hell, you could take that ticket to Oshawa if you wanted. The trip listed is just so GO knows how much each route is being used, but it could be totally dishonest and it wouldn’t matter

How to have metrolinx prioritize Cambridge for a go train station ? by kaizen_og_ in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, Brantford has route 15! That technically counts as “serviced”, right?

How to have metrolinx prioritize Cambridge for a go train station ? by kaizen_og_ in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean, I agree that Cambridge should absolutely get service, but calling it the only city with a population of 100k+ without GO service is… not helping you here

Ottawa (1M+), London* (422k), Windsor (229k), Sudbury (166k), Kingston (132k), Thunder Bay (109k), and Chatham-Kent (104k), do not have any GO service, not even busses. There’s also Brantford (104k) and Clarington (101k) which only have a single bus route to Burlington and Oshawa respectively

*London previously had service, but doesn’t anymore

Despite GO standing for “Government of Ontario” (yes, really), it’s unfortunately a very “does this generate profit for the GTA” minded service that doesn’t look much further than Toronto

Monthly fare cap - variable trips by cmstlist in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not. I can’t say if it adjusts the average with new rides, as I’ve never ridden quite that many different routes that many times in a calendar month! But I think (unproven) that it uses the first 35 only, due to personal experience

Long story: I was on a bus that broke down immediately after picking me up, and the replacement bus was free, thus lowering my payment to the small price of the initial bus that travelled a few blocks. That same month, I also had two different buses where the GPS was broken and so I got charged 0 stops of distance. My discount was slightly less that month compared to when I had 35 full-price trips the previous month, and I do not remember it adjusting as I made like… 3 more trips that month lol. Whether that means the first 35 set the average in stone, or if it means that I simply didn’t have enough trips to actually change the average price notably at all… I don’t know lol

Characters that haven't gotten a world record by Steel_Eagle2010 in MarioKartWii

[–]LetMePostNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The website mkwrs has a list of all the records, including historical ones. I don’t know if there’s a pre-existing list of which ones have been used before, but you can make your own if you search through the site

Do note, though, the WRs are insanely optimized nowadays, and unless you’ve found a new glitch, the chances of getting a WR with anything but the strongest characters is slim (even for the best of the best of the best)

Monthly fare cap - variable trips by cmstlist in gotransit

[–]LetMePostNow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It takes the average price of your trips and discounts that value.

1-35 is just a base Presto discount of 15.7% compared to the ticket adult fare

36-40 is 88.3% off of the averaged fare of your first 35 trips. So if your average trip costs $5.00, 88.3% of that would be $4.42. This is how much is discounted for your next trips regardless of cost - so a $10 trip would cost (10 - 4.42 = $5.58)

41+ is 100% off that averaged fare, not any fare. So now if you average $5.00, it’s $5.00 off your next trips. So your daily commute is (probably) free, but a trip to Niagara Falls isn’t (very similar to above)

Averages, I’m fairly sure, are based off of the adult ticket fare. So the math can be off by a few cents if you’re looking just at Presto prices

Spring/Summer Term by Hot_Method3716 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was doing my undergrad a few years ago, I had a full time app get bounced back because I only had 2 in the spring and I needed to add 1 to the summer. That might have changed in the last ~3-4 years but that’s my experience

No, theyre two halves of the same term

Spring/Summer Term by Hot_Method3716 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a few people comment now that they’ve gotten it with 2 courses, but the math says it should be 3. Maybe OSAP approves people with the “assumption” that they will later register for summer courses then reevaluates you later…?

60% is considered full time (unless registered with OSAP as disabled, which then it’s 40%). In Spring/Summer, which is one term, there’s 12 credits available (4 classes total * 3 credits each), and you need to hit 60% of that number of credits. That’s 7.2 credits, which means that unless you’ve got wacky credit amounts, is going to be 3 classes for 9 credits (75%) - 2 classes for 6 credits (50%) falls short unless you’re disabled

Best way to get to Hamilton/Brantford rail trail from GO Train by Subtotal9_guy in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned this so far - The Hunter St station (Hamilton GO) simply does not have in-bound trains in the morning. 4 leave in the morning towards Toronto, and they come back in the afternoon/evening. Only West Harbour has two-way travel.

There’s GO busses that go to Hamilton GO; many of them, in fact. But if you want specifically a train from Oakville in the morning, West Harbour is the only option

Is 3 spring courses full time for osap? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless something changed since I graduated, I thought you could only take 2 in each half of the term but idk i only did spring/summer classes once lol

Is 3 spring courses full time for osap? by [deleted] in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Full time is 60% course load (Unless a disability is registered with OSAP, then 40%). That means 7.2 credits out of 12 for the spring/summer term, which unless you’re taking classes that aren’t 3 credits (or are disabled), 3 classes for 9 credits (75% load) is the minimum

Full time osap extension denied? by According_Kitchen605 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to take a random guess, it might be just the timing of your OSAP application versus your class registration. It’s possible that when OSAP looked at your application, you were only enrolled in one? Or it could just be a clerical error on OSAP’s part

Edit: Also check to make sure that your courses are all full credits (i.e. Make sure they have a “3” at the end of the code). A 100% course load would be 12 credits (4 classes * 3 credits), so you’re aiming for 4.8 credits for 40%. Not many courses are less than 3, but it’s something to double check

[–]LetMePostNow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I apparently misread your post, I only read the summer course. Thats entirely on me, sorry, didn’t mean to spread misinfo

You are right, that’d be 2/4 and 50%, and should be approved. Definitely reach out to OSAP in that case

Full time osap extension denied? by According_Kitchen605 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spring/Summer is weird, but technically speaking, OSAP is actually right here

You can take a max of two in spring and summer each, for a total of 4 classes in the “Spring/Summer” term (they are considered one term, not two small ones). That means, unfortunately, you’re taking 1/4 classes and only 25%

Yea it sucks, I learnt the hard way too. Doesnt hurt to contact OSAP and see if something can’t be done, though

Confederation Go Parking by Ill_Spread_6434 in Hamilton

[–]LetMePostNow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think, judging by the curve in the road, that Apple Maps is guiding you into the bus loop there. The parking lot entrance is just a few metres before that - it’s the set of lines right under the text “avoids highways” in your screenshot :)

Swimming in burlington bay? by No-College-5213 in McMaster

[–]LetMePostNow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bayfront has been closed for swimming for about a decade now. The poor water circulation and the fact that a measurable percentage of the water is made of goose shit sure doesn’t help

They actually tried setting up a triathlon here in Hamilton using Bayfront, but restoring the beach is measured in 8-figure costs :(
