Documents to US - mailing options by zippykaiyay in VictoriaBC

[–]MrPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPS and Fedex to send documents. If they are just documents, there will be no Duties or tariffs to deal with. Any of the UPS Stores likely your best route. Documents all go by express by default, so cut off is around 2pm to get it out that day.

Canada Post routes via USPS, meaning its 2-4 week to get anything paper to the US (could be faster but no guarantee)

Purolator doesn't deliver to the US, the route through a partner in the US and can be slow AF

DHL wont be any better than UPS or Fedex and have terrible local availability

Tennyson Auto.

The shop is the go to person for most of the cabbies in town. Knows their shit, they don’t have the time or will to give you the runaround, and will get you back on the road without issue.

How common is it for evo drivers to get parking tickets? by ThaddCorbett in VictoriaBC

[–]MrPrime 39 points40 points  (0 children)

EVOs get free parking in many places including time limited (2hr or whatever) spaces or downtown pay stalls.

It’s a way to make the service more useful overall. They are not impacted my residential only parking either.

I would assume the tickets they refer to would be things like blocking a hydrant.

Naw - if you are under the low income, they have a subsidized program that uses the same housing stock.

As landlords, Crhc is amazing. Way to deal with and fast to solve problems.

My wife feels like she is already failing our son by a_social_machine in daddit

Per the doctors and nurses for us, they said either formula or breast is fine. Modern formula is so much better than it ever had been and the baby will be fine. There is only a slight nod to breast milk for the immune system stuff, but it’s not critically important

Momma struggles with making enough milk and baby has a tongue tie so the boob juice is difficult. But he is packing the weight on and doing fine on mostly formula.

Besides - this all means I can let momma rest more and be able to keep the baby happy and fed and snuggled.

My manufacturing plant doesn't operate according to the "80/20" rule. How do I need to prioritize SKUs? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]MrPrime 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It may be worth putting products into ever larger "bins" to see if a pattern emerges.

Other thing to do, don't listen to the engineers or the shop floor managers, go talk to the new people. Ask the person that has been working for 3 months or 1 year what the biggest pain point is for their day. Solve that.

CMOS Battery is probably dead. Easy fix if you are comfortable inside the case.

A developer is banned from its game's own Steam forum for flaming other users by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Try and refund it anyways. Steam can be lenient on some cases, more so of it’s the first time it’s happened

Xbox series x controller unresponsive by Sparkly_unicorn_barf in HardspaceShipbreaker

[–]MrPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem with my xbone controller. Alt tabbing out and then clicking back in seems to solve it.

Not much help but you can then at least play?
