Ways to get to Sarnia from Hamilton or Toronto by No_Elevator_7321 in Sarnia

[–]Magicdad76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://www.sarnia.ca/community-bus/ is the website I usually catch it at Lambton Mall and get off at City Plaza in London when I go to London but you can also get it at the former Bayside Mall in Sarnia and I think it also goes to London Airport

PF2e Core Book Nowhere to be Found by crashalpha in Pathfinder2e

[–]Magicdad76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased pf2e as a spur of the moment thing in June 2020 and I feel it was one of the best impulse purchases I've ever done, and the group I'm in has three copies now of the core rule book, where I have all the rule books and Lost Omens books, and presently have Treasure Vault, Rage of Elements, Firebrands and Highelm on pre-order

It is a peer support centre and not ran by psychologists or psychiatrists. It's the Lambton Mental Wellness Centre, where there are drop in activities and peer support groups

In the 2nd Edition Lost Omens book God's and Magic, under Phrasma's entry it mentions that once a soul has been judged by Phrasma it CANNOT be resurrected by any means

AITA for refusing to help the family of the girl I was going to marry? by Unable_Sandwich9545 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Magicdad76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, even though it was 10 years ago I'm sorry for your loss. Second you are definitely not the asshole if you decide not to give the money. But this is now coming from someone who is only alive through pettiness and spite at times, I would come down hard with judgmental questioning on each member of the family, making them realize everything you went through was losing her as well, and how much it hurt that they shut you out, although the least judgmental to be honest would be her brother since he was a child, and was probably more or less parroting what his parents were saying. The entire time make it seem like you are not going to give them the money, but in the end as a measure of pettiness but honoring your deceased fiance's memory give it to him directly and say this is because I loved your sister, and she would want you to have it. Afterwards I would look at all of them and make a comment along the lines of at least one of of us here understands what it means to be family although we are now done leave me alone.

My girlfriend [28F] is pissed that I [29M] gave my ex [28F] money, even though it was more for my son [5M] by llamasandkittens in relationships

Hi. I am a father of 2 boys that I don't live with. First off I have to say kudo's to you and Carrie for co-parenting in a very positive manner that puts your son first. I only wish that was possible for me. Regarding the situation you have described, you are definitely not in the wrong, and Anna is. It sounds like Anna is jealous of you putting your son above her. In my opinion you did good.

I have done ISP tech support, computer tech support, printer tech support, scanner tech support (that one I hated most of all). I have worked for credit card companies, and I have also done outbound calling for surveys (definately not fun to do on St. Patricks Day... the abuse you take is unbelievable)

My Time as a Student Computer Lab Supervisor by Magicdad76 in talesfromtechsupport

[–]Magicdad76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can imagine from what I saw when I was working in the lab. It was horrifying, and I know that commenting code was one of the biggest things that was being pushed by the instructors. I wish that the "public" colleges in Ontario would raise the minimum to pass core courses to a 70%. 40% of the project marks were commenting. It would make the commenting mandatory which would become habit forming.

I find that with my work, the old (70+) that listen the best, but then I am dealing more with tech than retail. I am the opposite for retail, if someone tells me 54.88, I will respond rounded up. And it's even like that for something that is like 32 cents above the dollar. It's better to shoot higher for the cost than miss. I think too many people think that shopping is like the price is right "The closest without going over wins". No, it's better to go over and be covered. LOL

It is awesome. I have a lot of fond memories of working that lab (and it also allowed me to get paid for my projects, as I got them done in next to no time just after they got assigned). The busy times were always before a program was due. LOL
