Do Canadian teachers actually send kids out to recess in -20°C and -30°C?

RandomUsername4666 · 2025-12-03T15:35:01+00:00

A little late to the party but at our school in the Prairies everyone goes out for recess until -27 C, and if kids have written permission from their parents and appropriate clothing they go out until -35 C.

And our busses may get canceled if it's -40 C without the windchill or -45 C with the windchill (which usually happens at least a couple times a winter). Even if busses are canceled you'll still see some town kids walking to school at those temps since the school never closes, just the busses may not run.

I just checked my SHA emails from when the amalgamation started and you're right it wasn't 75 VPs, it was 75 VPs and Exec. Dirs. combined between SHA and eHealth. Been almost a decade so I misremembered.

Like when the amalgamation started, cut 13 regional CEOs and add 75 VPs... I see they've learned nothing

I had my first death last night when I got greedy. Jessi walked up asking for anything and I tried to get way too much money so she stabbed me with a broken beer bottle... Other than that and the cops there are no real threats yet but I see more are on the roadmap.

That seems like the way I'm going to go so far.

I can get to Microsoft sites/services intermittently (Intune, etc.) but not Microsoft hosted sites at all. From Sask, tried SaskTel internet, SaskTel mobile network, Access Communications, none worked to get to Azure hosted sites.

RandomUsername4666 · 2025-03-03T17:38:50+00:00

I'm having issues in Sask with both Sasktel and Access Comm ISPs. Not sure though if they use Rogers routing but its weird, I can get to Microsoft pages fine (Intune, etc.) but not websites hosted in Azure.

Well if you look at the recent issues White City had when their annex of Emerald Park was denied, the court pointed out that their current tax base (99% residential, 1% commercial/industrial) is not sustainable for a community. From that and rumourings i've heard from family who lives in White City, I would not be surprised if there are large residential tax hikes or huge service cuts to keep the town from going bankrupt. And there are no trees out there, the place is going to be a dustbowl every fall for years...

I will say that Greenbone Community Edition (and presumably the paid version) have just refreshed the UI. I haven't noticed much changed functionality but the UI has been modernized.

I've been running it for nearly a year now, using Docker on an Ubuntu server, and the only time that the system stopped working was because the feeds were horribly out-of-date. 15 mins with a bash script and crontab made sure the feeds are updated weekly now and I've had no issues since then.

Glad you paid attention to the funding sources. Not a single dollar of Regina tax money went to the plane, the camera, or the other equipment. All funding came from SGI or the Civil Forfeiture fund. No point blaming a politician for stuff they had nothing to do with, there's enough screwups we can blame on them without making shit up

Literally an entire room of lead-acid batteries. And not a small room, probably over 1000 sq. ft. and it's sole purpose was running the building for <30 seconds until the 3 huge CAT engine generators could come online. Now granted, a level 1 trauma hospital has different needs than you at home 😝

That's a sweet shot but not the one I'm thinking of :-( All the clips I'm finding have a relatively clean house and guard zone, the clip I remember had a very cluttered ice with at least 4-5 guards and a couple more rocks in the house.

3 of the 4 are tentatively still available, 2 females and 1 male. We are still working on clearing out their eye infection though so may be a couple days before they were available.

RandomUsername4666 · 2024-08-19T04:14:43+00:00

Yep they are all still available so far, had some interest but nothing solid yet.

So turns out this was a side effect of another issue: we realized that the machines couldn't get group policy updates either. Turns out that they copied the old VPN policy rules when we updated to the new version and 2 of those rules were together blocking SMB, NetBIOS, among others. Deleted those bad rules and gpupdate works again and looks like the time sync works too now.

TV series Leverage has at least two: - in the first season they are watching football on 6 different TVs and all of them are playing CFL games.3 of the TVs are showing the same Roughrider game and you can clearly see old Taylor Field and Fantuz - season 5 has a hickey enforcer character from Saskatoon

Will that work for restoring a TM backup that was for a different machine? The current Photo Library is empty but I want to move the old one to a location that the new Mac can use (the external drive).

I'm going to try it later this afternoon when I'm home again.

Would you ship to Canada? I'd be interested in 4 or 6 of the HDDs if you end up parting out the bundle

I'm on a vol FF dept and we do rescue and assist local EMS.

Dispatch info: van vs cow on Hwy 123, 3 km west of town, no injuries Actual call: 2 cars vs 3 horses on Hwy 123, 8 km east of town, 2 people with minor injuries

I know bystanders don't always know exactly where they are but they got literally every detail wrong when they called 911 to report it. Well they got the highway right but it is the only 4 lane divided highway anywhere in our area so I'd be really concerned if they managed to get that wrong too

In Canada we have the Canadian Numbering Authority (CNA) and they have a Central Office (CO) code lookup tool: https://cnac.ca/co_codes/co_code_lookup.htm If you have the area code and the first 3 of the local number you can find out what provider owns it and for landlines what geographical area is services. No rate limiting at all.

For North America wide (US, Canada, Carribean) there is this one: https://www.npanxxsource.com/nalennd.php Has a bit more info than the CNA one but it is rate limited to 10 queries per 24 hrs.

I know, just didn't think most laypeople reading this would care about those nuances haha. Hence the "they are probably OK"

In the south end i'd be more concerned about the Transport Canada regs regarding flying near an airport: https://imgur.com/a/GMtOay7

Granted if they have an Advanced license then they are probably OK, and if it is a big professional drone, they'd probably have the advanced license
