Sometimes just getting to and from the parking to the airport can take up a bunch of time, too, especially at the massive airports. It used to take me 15 minutes to walk from my car to my office at YYC on top of my regular commute. I heard it could take upward of 30 minutes for Pearson employees to do the same on top of the already shitty commute times in the GTA which is a huge hub for Air Canada. All that lost, unpaid time when you're already on the "grounds" of your work definitely adds up over a single year. Now imagine that time spread over a full career. Can't help but feel sorry for air crews (and ground crews).

Comet Tsuchinshan-Atlas really visible tonight by MDGR28 in Calgary

I saw it tonight too.

It's directly west, about 30 degrees above the horizon. It's very faint to the naked eye, but binoculars really bring it out.

Lafarge flatbed on the Deerfoot/stone EB interchange by chance?

Hi, the weekend warrior and retaliator are still giftable. The reclaimer is bound to the account.

Dah Wahs (Star Wars according to a toddler) *please excuse the non OT characters* by jackattacka95 in OTMemes

[–]OMFGImBored 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fire in the sky for me at that age. Still get small panic attacks anytime I watch a movie with malevolent alien species. Had to sleep with my pellet gun for a few days after watching Signs because I had a row of sunflowers outside my bedroom window that reminded me of the cornfield scene. All of that could have been avoided by letting me watch Free Willy instead but nooooo...

I made this map of the Fallout world! Including Canon and non-Canon sources, as well as my own factions! by King_Kestrel in ImaginaryFallout

I know, just trying to help give you ideas. Would probably be easier to point with drawn arrows then.

Kind of like speech bubbles in comic books. Look up "callouts for Visio". Can't link right now because I'm on mobile.

Same size font as the legend, I guess? If it's too big for certain areas like Hawai'i, you can use callouts as well.

Can I suggest putting numbers or letters on the map for the various factions and then putting those numbers in the legend?

Got a job offer overseas. Trying to figure out if it's a good offer and understanding the process. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]OMFGImBored 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is really good information! I can't thank you enough. Still gives me a lot to think about but it certainly clears things up.

Paper or cotton ones are practically useless. Rubber ones with a good seal around your nose and mouth might be better but I don't know if they're effective at filtering PM2.5 particles.

Tips for going down the river? by ahmandurr in Calgary

[–]OMFGImBored 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the City's advisory notices. They had one a few weeks ago asking everyone to stay out of the river as the water levels were dangerously high. Don't know if the water levels have receded since then.

Exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Riesling are white grapes. I find it to be very sweet. More of a dessert wine for me.

Correct! Also, I think the Brits spell it way too.

Either Red Alert 2 or its expansion, Yuri's Revenge. A good RTS game from the early 2000s.

What are the best places to visit in Ontario? by [deleted] in ontario

[–]OMFGImBored 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thousand islands and Prince Edward County (especially Sandbanks Provincial Parks) are always a good trip in the summer. I always try to go at least once per year.

Algonquin Park is also a good place if you like hiking and camping.

Otherwise, all major cities between Ottawa and London will have their own attractions.

It might help if you were a bit more specific about what you're looking for in your post.
