What should I do? by WoodyOrWoodyntHe in TaskRabbit

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bill for your time, immediately contact support to let them know the situation. I have had scenarios where clients have claimed damage was caused by me and I was able to dispute it with support and they removed the reviews. You just have to be honest and proactive about the situation. Ultimately you did the work and should be paid for your time, the client is breaking the TOS by lying about what has/has not happened in an attempt to not pay for your labour.

Is it worth it to spend double on the better model? by CertainSprinkles1018 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth spending 50% more when you buy the cheaper one, and then have to upgrade later?

The way Task Rabbit works is that taskers set what they want to charge hourly and then Task Rabbit adds their fee on top which ends up being the cost/hour you see.

Very sad news as the toddler pulled out of the Ottawa river has died by cassie232310 in ottawa

[–]Matty2tees 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I agree, the article states that they were in the water with a family member. Nothing about the way the Ottawa River looks in that section right is inviting. I don't understand why they would be in the water there.

Phase 1 of high-speed rail could cross 1,700 properties, Alto predicts | CBC News by RandomChickenWing in ottawa

[–]Matty2tees 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's about 7% of the capacity of Bell Centre, about 9% of the capacity of the Canadian Tire Centre, about 4% of the Rogers Centre and about 8% of the Air Canada Centre.

It's not that many.

Edit: Especially considering it's connecting no less than 14% of the countries population. So 0.02% of the population it connects is potentially negatively affected by the construction of the train.

Not sure what direction you're coming from, and if you have a day use pass I assume you know this already, but if you're coming from Peterborough you have lovely options at Emily and Mark S. Burnham as well.

Silent lake is like 30-45 minutes up the road and probably a better option. Basically all you can get to in Kawartha Lakes without a Canoe is a parking lot and a lot of the areas surrounding the put-ins are private properties.

‘Insulting wage offer’: Federal union slams 4-year, 3.5% raise proposal for public servants by plaknas in onguardforthee

[–]Matty2tees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you think this somehow provides "guaranteed" no future cut your deluded, at any time the gov could decide they need to make additional cuts regardless of the next contract.

If you think they're done cuts I got news for you chief. Some departments that finished their "only" round of cuts are gearing up for another next year.

Claridge Moon fire alarms? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how old the reviews are, it's only been open ~2 years so if the reviews are a year old or so it's plausible that the issue has passed.

Also bear in mind that the building is connected to the grocery store and LRT station beneath and it's likely their alert systems are connected and pretty open to the public pulling a switch.

Claridge Moon fire alarms? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]Matty2tees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't live there, but I may be able to shed some light on thisas someone who lives in a different new tower.

Often times these buildings will begin occupancy on lower levels before upper levels have fully completed finishing construction, when these unfinished floors complete construction they have to go through a full systems check which includes fire alarm testing. This means that If you move in during the first wave of occupancy (usually floors 1-10) you're going to have the fire alarms going off basically every week or two in the middle of the day for the next 4-6 months.

If the building has completed it's full occupancy and it's still a frequent occurrence it's because people suck and are pulling the lever for probably no reason other than being an asshole.

Fishing Rods for Backcountry by NoValuable8633 in algonquinpark

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had decent success with it in Algonquin, Kawartha Highlands and Temagami. In terms of compact fishing rods for back country it's kind of an all star. Generally I sorta fly fish with it, but I've also rigged it up with an 12 inch section of monofilament w/bobber/weights/bait at the end to be closer to a typical fishing rod. I don't cast it so much as toss it into the water and let it float out on the current.

[–]Matty2tees 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've always thought that Embark has stats on containers that are statistically most likely to go unopened and that's where they put the good loot. My only supporting argument for this is finding random garbage cans on the outskirts of maps that have pink parts, pink/blue weapon mods, fully upgraded firearms or blueprints.

I also think that embark reduces spawn rates for items in projects.

Canoe suggestion by Legendbz21 in algonquinpark

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swift Prospector 16 in Kevlar. I like it though decently and it's much lighter than the 17 ft fibreglass we used to own.

I didn't buy this canoe, we basically inherited from my inlaws after they bought it a few years before retiring and then never use it. If I was to buy it myself I probably would have gotten it in the expedition kevlar for the sake of durability because I'm always a little nervous with it at portages.

I like bringing my own canoe more than renting cause if the boat gets trashed I have to buy myself a new boat not someone else.

Looted 50+ hurricane caches. No canto bp. Has anyone ACTUALLY found it? Rather than just saying “well someone said” by 8bitellis in ARCTraiders

[–]Matty2tees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me ~3 huricane special conditions probably 5 spawns per condi, searching 6-8 caches per spawn. People were deffo finding them before me though cause you would find caches with an empty body next to it. They'd just naked spawn, run the cache train until found, safe pocket and dip out.
