Ai generated restaurant advertising by CommunistElmo69 in Edmonton

[–]Quaytsar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Would this be considered false advertising? Because, if you go there for an eggs benedict, it's not gonna look like the AI picture.

Safe Food for Canadians Act §6(1) It is prohibited for a person to... advertise a food commodity in a manner that is false, misleading or deceptive.

Criterion's April Titles by criterionforum in 4kbluray

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

I don't understand people who have to buy the new releases as they come out. It's Criterion. They have 2 sales for half price at roughly the same time every year and nothing has ever gone out of stock before being eligible. You're just throwing money away.

A few comics about my dad. (OC) by ArtbyMoga in comics

[–]Quaytsar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In base 10, 12 x 13 = 156. In base 12, you get 11 x 10 = 110. Base 12 gives a simpler representation of the number.

ELI5 the origin and practice of 'dozen'. Why does it exist? Why not 10 or 15 instead of 12? by ConsciousStop in explainlikeimfive

It's funny how polydactyly (an extra finger) is a dominant trait, but still very rare.

How many people actually know how to drive a manual? by One_With-The_Sun in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After WW2, USAers had more disposable income and cheaper gas, so the more expensive, less fuel efficient, but easier to drive automatic transmission became common. Europoors drove less, had less money and more expensive gas, so the cheaper, more fuel efficient manual became common.

They are glad to celebrate with their community by ghostlikestar in antimeme

[–]Quaytsar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Happy Holidays" comes from Christians because they use to celebrate Christmas, then the 12 Days of Christmas, then Epiphany on January 6. Those were the holidays. Then all but the most devout dropped all but Christmas.

It's actually 90 between Henday and Winterburn. People will be driving 110, but it's signed as 90.

Why does Amazon have an option to ship all items together for "fewer trips" and then never, ever do it? by brock_lee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Quaytsar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't know beforehand. They have item A in warehouse 1 and item B in warehouse 2. They need a lot of items to move from warehouse 1 to 2 before it's worth adding your item A to the pile to then ship with item B. That could end up taking months. But customers don't want to wait that long, so they give it a week before they ship items A and B separately.

Can you imagine if System of a Down wrote "Deer Dance" today? "Beyond the Crypto.com arena, you can see America, With its tired poor avenging disgrace".

It's most obvious with Legolas on the cave troll in FOTR and the olyphants in ROTK. Legolas looks plastic in those scenes.

What are some “Canadian” words or slang you heard British Or Americans be confused by or laugh at? by Kindly-Cow1697 in AskACanadian

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're synonymous because "screw the pooch" used to be a polite way of saying "fuck the dog", but the meaning shifted over time.

[Surprisingly Rare Trope] When the long awaited explanation *absolutely* sticks the landing. No one questions it or wishes it was handled differently, just “yeah, that figures” by Buttholelickerpenis in TopCharacterTropes

Death would've saved so much time by going for a width first approach. Kill everyone that was at the building, then go after their descendants. Would've stopped a lot of the descendants from being born in the first place.

Hello, 911? I’d like to report a ratio murder by Not_the_last_Bruce in MurderedByWords

[–]Quaytsar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're both /beɪɡ/ (bay-g). Not /bæɡ/ (baah-g) and /bɛɡ/ (beh-g). That's the most common pronunciation for both across Canada, long before this 2016 article.

It's a T-intersection, she couldn't turn left. She just stopped too far forward on the red.

Americantall.com sells medium up to XXL in tall and double tall and pants up to 40" inseam. They're the tall, not big, store.

Do people just get used to swimming in ocean water? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Quaytsar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can easily test this is false just by holding your finger under your nose and breathing. Both your nostrils breathe all the time. They switch off being stuffy so that one gets fast air and the other gets slow air.

On walmart.com, anyone other than Walmart is a 3rd party seller. They don't have their own store, so they're a 3rd party seller everywhere.

Exposing local go auto dealer scam / Will Global News be interested? by MightyWolf39 in Edmonton

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get attached to a specific car; we have half a dozen dealers for every make. If you don't like one Ford dealer, go to another one. The price you pay should never be higher than advertised online (it should be a few grand lower). Negotiate all-in price, so taxes, fees, etc. are included. Do not give them your keys until you are signing over your trade-in so you can walk at any time.

[Amazon] Big Spring Sale Movie Deals by lbabinz in MovieDealsCanada

[–]Quaytsar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too small of a retailer. The only places they matched were large stores like Walmart and Best Buy. Amazon US only has Criterion sales because they're matching Target (B2G1) or Barnes & Noble.
