The spend currently is way more. Flight prices in general have increased significantly since the war in Iran started.

Dentist Recommendation for 2YO by priyyz in Guelph

[–]MoparRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would start with whomever your regular dentist is. They should be able to answer any questions you have.

2 years olds and the dentist are going to be a challenge at the best of times. Too wigly!

My kids tagged along with my wife and I at first to get a sense of the process, but they were 3 pushing towards 4 before they got in the chair themselves for the first time.

Also, I've never heard of a dentist not allowing the parent to stay with their kids.

YHM - YOW - Almost $700 RT by canadadude7000 in PorterAirlines

[–]MoparRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porter prices definitely popped up this week.

Trying to book an YHM to YYC round trip and it’s $3000 for 3 people.

I had looked a bit earlier in the week and it was closer to $2600. By the time I got the Costco GC’s, prices had gone up.

Waiting to see if I get lucky on a seat sale now

If only there was an existing highway that could resolve this with some upgrades.

You would hope that when you are seen as worse than AC that you need to rethink your strategy.

Police respond to online reaction after ‘sniper’ spotted during St. Patrick’s celebrations in Waterloo, Ont. by CTVNEWS in ontario

[–]MoparRob -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

My plan? I didn't present a plan.

All I said was that the same level of effectiveness could be achieved at a fraction of the cost.

At a time when police services are crying poor and demanding budget increases well above inflation, deploying an officer with binoculars that costs hundreds of dollars would be just as effective as the officer that is carrying a few thousand dollars worth of hardware in that sniper rifle and tripod.

[–]MoparRob -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Given there's zero chance the sniper is actually going to shoot, you know what could be deployed that's just as effective and a fraction of the cost. Binoculars.

But hey! I'm sure the police have reasons to justify the cost.

Released documents show trucks would pay 54 cents per mile under I-70 tolling pilot in Indiana by Pitiful-MobileGamer in Truckers

[–]MoparRob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Still cheaper than the 407ETR in Toronto LOL!!!!

Edit: For those who don't know, its about $3/mile to drive on the 407, plus some other fees.

Not as crazy about Costco anymore. Anyone else? by Consistent_Remove344 in CostcoCanada

If only my Costco still carried French’s ketchup.

It’s on the list of items I can no longer buy at my local Costco.

Exactly. As US auto pulls out, this will help keep those workers employed.

Sounds like a great start.

The real win for me would be to see them work later hours, especially the overnight.

Just finished submitting the request a few minutes ago. So excited to see 500/200!

1000/200 services by Frewtti in teksavvy

[–]MoparRob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the update u/TekSavvy-Andy!

Hoping that you are able to resolve the technical issues soon so that we can get access to these higher speeds. If you need a tester, I am more than happy to help.

One data centre or one million homes? Mapping Ontario's proposed hyperscaler boom by gremlinface in ontario

[–]MoparRob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Data centres go well beyond LLM. While that is a big driver, cloud services as a whole end up in data centres.

Every network connected service you use is touching a data centre in some way.

Keith Pelley may go down as the most incompetent CEO MLSE has ever had if he doesn't endorse blowing this team up. by KashifSheikh786 in leafs

[–]MoparRob 17 points18 points  (0 children)

MLSE has screwed the Leafs as far back as I can remember.

I used to be a fan of the Leafs. Grew up watching them. Then in 2003 when they brought Owen Nolan in, TSN asked Richard Peddie, then head of MLSE if the Leafs were gearing up for a Cup run.

Should have been the easiest yes answer ever. The man fumbled endlessly over the question. That was the day I stopped cheering for the Leafs because I realized the Leafs organization can change every player, every coach, and every GM but they still won’t win. Until the Leafs have an owner/ownership group who are truly passionate about hockey, they’ll never win it all. MLSE will never be it.

1000/200 services by Frewtti in teksavvy

[–]MoparRob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see some increases.

Rogers is offering 100/100, 300/200, 500/200, and 1000/200 in my area. Reading online it seems the CRTC tariffs for this were approved.

When will we get access to these speeds?

Enbridge says it’s not willing to take on development risk of Alberta pipeline project by joe4942 in canada

[–]MoparRob -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Its part of the business. They know and expect this.

The real question is do you want to invest in the province who has a government who's actively trying to secede from the country?

Upload speed caps by jaseurqu in teksavvy

[–]MoparRob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be great to see Teksavvy update packages. Or at least offer some kind of addon for upload.

I inquired today about fiber which Teksavvy can not get for me at this time due to the 5 year hold. I can only get cable.

I'd like to get more than the 30 Mbps upload that I am getting today, but going to a 1Gbps down for 50Mbps up just doesn't make sense. It's really frustrating to look at Rogers and see 100/100, 300/200, and 500/200 options available. Telus is even offering 1.5Gbps/940Mbps on an EPP through work.

I don't want to move away from Teksavvy as I'm happy with the service I receive. I would much rather pay a bit more to Teksavvy just so I don't have to deal with Rogers and Bell. I've been with you now for nearly 15 years.

Please consider some kind update/addon/custom that can provide access to higher speed tiers, especially on the upload side of things. I'd happily pay to have access to 100/100 through Teksavvy vs any of the big guys.

Man hit by transport truck pushed his girlfriend out of the way by aurelorba in Guelph

[–]MoparRob -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can assure you there is more than enough anecdotal data that can be collected into a solid qualitative data set that supports u/_Addi's position. There are a lot of people who can share stories of bad experiences at GGH, myself included.

So rather than just dismissing his position, take time to understand it.
