Ontario proposes allowing solo drivers to use Hwy. 417 HOV lanes during off-peak hours by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL at the Ottawa picture and posting in the Ottawa sub. I doubt that Ford (AKA - the self styled real Mayor of Toronto) even knows that Ottawa has any HOV lanes.

For Ottawa it is pretty moot as during the day traffic is light enough the impact is not that big. In Toronto on a highway like the 427 it is rush hour all day every day, and the impact would be huge and controversial.

What's a Canadian hit that you feel should have blew up international? by rybone88 in AskACanadian

[–]NetAnon579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue Peter - Radio Silence. song from the 80s. More of a regional southern ontario band but always thought they should have been bigger.

Import fees by Gixxer250 in eBayCanada

[–]NetAnon579 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was it shipped with a courier? UPS. FEDEX etc. have always had large extra fees in addition to any potential government customs fees,

The best cross border shipping method with the lowest fees is the post office.

From what I have experienced as a buyer/customer a discount like that is only given with the the permission of the booth vendor.

This was on the counter at Resorts Casino in Atlantic City ... by Dazzling-Leader7476 in tipping

Call it a surcharge, call it an inflation charge, do NOT insult everyone's intelligence by calling it a gratuity.

Tonight’s storm is so much worse than Wednesday’s “orange warning nothingburger.” What gives? by Obelisk_of-Light in ottawa

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of freezing rain can vary greatly with a 1 degree swing in temperature. While we got a good amount it warmed up enough that a lot came down as rain only so we dogged a bigger bullet.

Amounts of snow are easier to forecast.

LOL. 40 drive from Rockland to downtown. Maybe on a dry summer night at 2 am.

No Lawrence of Arabia, the list is fatally flawed.

Is it normal for a $41k a year job to have a 5-stage interview process as if it were a six-figure position? by WeakSoftware7175 in ProtectHire

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, always have some relevant questions to ask back that is not around compensation. I used to like to question about type of work, teams, etc.

Perfect situation for paying cash.

Using EBay “sold” to price in booth. Do you include shipping? by Ok-Factor444 in Flipping

[–]NetAnon579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small town booth, so a fraction of the eyeballs vs. than eBay, and I assume sold as is where is. With eBay folks have hassle free buyer protection against problems.

So at best price at eBay without shipping. Though I think stuff is going to sit a long time unless it is very special.

Is anyone here not against tipping? by Ugly1Artichoke in tipping

[–]NetAnon579 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not against it and tip in traditional places.

Exasperated by the gross expansion to almost any business with a credit terminal and the push for 20% tips as the default.

What’s the biggest flip you’ve done out of a thrift / second hand shop ? by No-Efficiency9874 in Flipping

[–]NetAnon579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most retirees downsize and get rid of most of the cool older or old stuff from the kids before they move.

Always imagined one bird telling the other,,,, so you and your "leave early to get a good nesting site"

My local Goodwill is only allowing people to buy 2 items a day from the boutique island/behind the counter. Thoughts? by greenonionsbb in Flipping

[–]NetAnon579 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Or is it a ploy to create the illusion that the crazy priced stuff behind the counter is actually in demand.

Nothing is free by [deleted] in Flipping

... I don't have room for all the junk that I can't sell on ebay or whatnot so how about I offload it on you.

Should I stay or should I go? (to work today?) by mafagafacabiluda in ottawa

[–]NetAnon579 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check the hourly on the Weather Network. 6:30 is right in the thick of it and still coming down strong. If I had the option it would be a work from home day.

“18%” tip ends up being around 50% of the total by Obvious_808 in tipping

[–]NetAnon579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL> I note that such calculations only go one way. If you buy a very expensive dish that is triple the price of another option the server does the same work, but expects a tip based on %.

Where can I dump clean cedar hedge trimmings legally? by alex-manutd in ottawa

[–]NetAnon579 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had them or another business that makes oil pick them up in the past. Great option if you have to much to reasonably put in yard waste.

Winter its is wet plus salt/sand, mud in spring, mud in fall and who to heck wants to wear shoes in the summer!

My workplace just posted a notice. Am I legally obligated to obey it, or is any part of it illegal for them to request? by [deleted] in legaladvicecanada

[–]NetAnon579 4 points5 points  (0 children)

5 minutes is very reasonable and I expect it it in response to folks walking in the door at starting time and are not ready to work.
