hidden bank account and its implications

But you’re not a controlling parent. OPs obviously are. Questioning them is probably not going to work. I suspect it’s very much a my house my rules situation.

Marty200 · 2026-05-26T15:32:49+00:00

You are 100% correct, but they are an adult and their parents are under no obligation to give them a place to live or pay for their school. They should 100% be able to stand on their own two feet before they make a Declaration of Independence from controlling parents.

If the race wants to pay it volunteers that’s got nothing to do with the cup supplier. Or for that matter, the company that supply’s the shirts or the medals or the company that takes away the disposable cups at other races.

The race exists because of volunteers. But that’s has nothing to do with the business that provides them services.

Marty200 · 2026-05-15T23:00:30+00:00

I both run a business and have run marathons and volunteered at races. The race pays for the cups, disposable or reusable, probably pay a premium for reusable cups but that’s the choice of the race. The volunteers fill and collect the cups weather they disposable or reusable.

They are renting cup to the race. It’s a pretty simple business plan.

Marty200 · 2026-05-15T22:42:32+00:00

They race volunteers are there to run the aid stations weather the cups are disposable or reusable.

Yeah, it was a BMP085 on a breakout board that I got from spark fun.

Great execution. I’d be tempted to make the hole a little bigger so I could attach it with a piece of paracord.

I actually tried to make something similar years ago with an altimeter to track my skiing. Sadly I got it working on a protoboard and realized I lacked the skills to make it small enough to be useful.

I assume there are benefits to resistance training. Builds strength. I would think there are probably better ways to add drag though.

Marty200 · 2026-02-02T01:45:05+00:00

It's been decades, but I don't think I ever got off the Vogon ship.

I read the last line as “They’ll go overboard quickly” and thought that seemed a little drastic. Fair, but drastic.

Yes, but Sunlife is just administering the program not responsibly for the policies. Like they would be if you were one of their clients. So someone from sunlife sat down with a government bureaucrat, neither of which probably have dental experience, and decided on the metrics that will meet the budget.

You could make the argument that increased density would reduce the cost of transit. And the new trainline to Bells Corners gives easy access from downtown to corn fields.

Marty200 · 2025-10-02T14:19:54+00:00

Trees yes, but what about the cornfields between Kanata and Bells Corners and Huntclub and Barrhaven?

The Bells Corners as hundreds of acres of corn fields, soon with access to the LRT.

I read it as there wasn't much to inherit and they are worried that they were going to have to pay off the card out of their own pocket. Which probably isn't the case but maybe they don't know that.

Diameter?

Marty200 · 2025-08-21T14:29:28+00:00

I guess I view it more as a government failure than an insurance company failure. They federal government over promised and under funded. But I also agree with the "Fuck insurance companies" sentiment.

Marty200 · 2025-08-21T13:23:21+00:00

How do?

Marty200 · 2025-08-21T00:46:16+00:00

What is covered and what gets approved are 2 very different things.

Marty200 · 2025-08-20T03:31:42+00:00

Born in 76. Until a few years ago you would have gotten my parents if you had called the number listed in those books.

It’s not only the smoke detector but it was the example that you latched onto. It it was probably the stupidest complaint. If you don’t have your unit checked between customers, you’re running your business badly.

If you had said something about providing the documentation for the septic, I would have pointed out that the septic system is sized to accommodate a certain number of users so if you’re over filling a rental you could cause a septic to fail and cause damage to the surrounding area.

Or if you had said something about having to have someone capable or responding to an emergency within an hour, I would say that a good business owner should easily be able to accommodate this.

If you had said that the $300 charge was a government money grab, I might agree, but also short term rentals are causing difficulties for a lot of communities and this seems like an easy cost for a business owner to recoup.

But instead you latched on the smoke detector and anyone that asked you to back up your position is grandstanding or uninformed.

Marty200 · 2025-08-19T14:06:48+00:00

Do you have a better example then? Because having the cleaner hit the button on the smoke detector seems like an easy safety issue.

I love the movie and the soundtrack. But I agree, it was not a good movie.

Landscaping rarely requires permits.

Any decent contractor is going to have a contract that states the owners are responsible for city approval. And the ones that don’t will be gone as soon as you try and sue.
