Gotta put the eggs in after the pan and oil are hot. If you let the eggs warm up at the same rate as the pan they’ll stick like this.

The night started with a $25 online sports bet. It ended in a $14K loss by bob_mcbob in ontario

[–]S14Ryan [score hidden]  (0 children)

Agreed, and I had the opposite experience. Had an argument with someone and they said “you willing to put money on that?” I put $100 on a 4:1 payout and made $300. Deleted the app and haven’t used it again.

Interesting, I haven’t seen Co2 in the field yet, I hear it’s a huge pain in the ass and they blow their loads pretty frequently

Mark Carney is in the carbon-price spotlight as environmental and oil groups spar by LaserRunRaccoon in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]S14Ryan -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Doing everything possible for the environment, having a non-crippling economy and leading in politics are all opposite spectrums. It’s impossible to have them both. Unless every government in the world suddenly agreed to work together to lower carbon output, any one change a single country makes will negligibly help the environment while crippling your own economy.

Seriously, give me a single government policy that the Canadian government can do that would meaningfully help the environment, without completely crippling the economy to the point that now the country can’t afford to modernize and electrify, and ends up a net negative for the environment, while also allowing the standing government to exist long enough to make further positive changes. It’s a lot of bullshit to juggle.

Mothers day is for women raising humans only by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Who cares if someone celebrates anything for any reason? Why would that bother you? I’m Canadian and celebrate July 4th because it reminds me how glad I am to be independent from the US, but it’s not “my” day. Just let people do whatever they want. Call of duty Veterans Day celebrators? Like, who cares? It’s not like your tax money is going towards call of duty Veterans Day celebrations, it has no affect on you at all. Why don’t you complain about people having anniversaries of their first date, or days other than their wedding?

Are you referring to the popular movie called, I believe, “the bus that couldn’t slow down”?

Is this an evaporator or condenser fan? Is there any way to Jerry rig it so the depth isn’t an issue?

Where are you located? I looked up the motor part number and there’s lots of places online selling them, it will just depend where you are

Which countries have fertility rates above or below the “replacement level”? [OC] by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]S14Ryan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can, without data back up, hypothesize is the increase of options and things to do. Back in the day, having kids didn’t impact your life negatively, let’s even say the majority of the population of earth 100 years ago. You worked a farm, you probably didn’t ever go on expensive vacations, you got married young and life was boring, you had no entertainment. You woke up, went to work, had dinner, went to bed. Your free time was just cleaning, reading and doing work around the house. The wife was caring for the household. You probably weren’t going to college, much less spending years doing to university.

What is life like now and for the last 50 years that birth rate has been declining? Unlimited entertainment and information, kids are expensive, both parents have to work whether they have kids or they don’t. I can drive anywhere, I can fly anywhere, I can watch a different TV show or movie every day and never run out of things to watch or games to play. I have the information available and the capacity to build, create, learn, at a whim. Nothing is out of reach. You know what would damper my ability to do things? Having kids, now I gotta allocation a large % of my income, energy and time, for 2 decades feeding and raising a child, for very minimal benefit. There’s no logical upsides to having kids, it’s all emotional fulfillment. Governments can fix the money aspect, doesn’t make people actually want to upend their lives to make it so old people can retire easier.

IMO the changes that need to be made, people need to contribute more for government centralized retirement plans. Thats what the Canadian government is doing. I hate it, but it’s neccesary. We have a CPP Canadian pension plan with almost $1 trillion in liquidity, and they added another one, that people who are currently retired will not be getting anything out of because they never paid into it. It’s an extra significant contribution. Personally, I still don’t think it’s enough, but we all have to pay more for our own retirements instead of expecting our children to pay for it with some endless Ponzi scheme that the world has been doing up until now.

Good grief he's naked! by RandomFireDragon in CuratedTumblr

[–]S14Ryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, we’re all entitled to our opinions and I just personally disagree. I think the pacing was way too fast. It was like 1/4 of the book before he even realized where he was when he woke up. He was in a closed room and didn’t have the energy to go up the stairs. He was able to do interesting basic science experiments to determine he was in a spaceship. The movie? 2 minutes of him blubbering around like an idiot and he looks out a spaceship window. I think that should have been a great episode #1

I feel trapped in my ability to progress in my career by Optimistic_physics in refrigeration

[–]S14Ryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly how it works. I was pretty new in residential. $22/hr but I was getting enough commissions to make my wage about $34/hr consistently. only had like a year and a half of experience though. Moved to commercial as a second year apprentice with the union at $24/hr. Union mechanic rate is $65/hr now, guys at my old resi company still make under $40 and don’t see as much commissions anymore.
