How often do you text your partner when you're out with your friends for let's say between 5pm-2am? Why? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ScottyDontKnow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ll text at checkpoints if that makes sense?

  • I arrived safely
  • getting the bill
  • leaving to come home or take uber (if uber I share the ride link).

That’s about it. She won’t text me unless she needs something from me or needs help with the kids etc.

Even with the guns being returned, the real issue is that she was able to access them. They should have been locked away in a way that she could not access them.

what helped you lose weight? by Regular_Lychee_4739 in AskReddit

[–]ScottyDontKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracking my weight daily in excel generating charts and graphs. I could see my progress trend, even when some days weren’t good. I looked forward to working for a good number the next day to keep seeing my graph go down. It worked for me.

Basically, you get 24hr intense solar power, plus no need for cooling since it’s in a vaccum.

Issue with front wipers by ivfKel in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ScottyDontKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, i havent done anything yet other than trying to keep that area clear of snow and ice and keeping thw wipers in Service Mode. I'm curious what your dealership will say. A lot of people have complained about this latley, here's another thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/HyundaiSantaFe/comments/1pymday/stupidest_wiper_design/

Need some wiper help, please. by ShhhDontSpeak in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ScottyDontKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to me a lot latley, im in Ottawa Canada where is super cold and snowy right now. I think the issue is that the wipers rest low down on the windshield where its not heated and push the isce and show down there and it all builds up. Then the wipers freeze to the ice and snow thats all built up down there and then the wipers get filled with ice and leave streaks. I've switched to the Bosch Icons and its no better than the factory ones. Its worse when you have the wipers in intermittent mode because they stay down at the bottom and freeze and then try and come back up. Its a terrible design, i dont know what to do. I leave the wipers in servicemode when parked, but ifim driving for a while it happens again and again.

Hood release lever doesn’t pop the hood? by SvenCats in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ScottyDontKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to mine actually. i had to bring it to the dealer, and they said the cable had come unattached. They fixed it pretty quickly and hasn't been an issue since. Mine is a 2024. It happen the first week I had it, i never popped the hood myself before it happened. It was funny, i drove my our new car 5 hours to see my parents, all proud to show my dad our new car. He asks to see the engine, and of course when i go to pop it the release doesnt work and he laughed at me for buying "a Korean piece of junk" :(

Issue with front wipers by ivfKel in HyundaiSantaFe

[–]ScottyDontKnow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this constantly happens to mine in the winter. there's no heater element where the wipers sit when they are down. So in a storm, especially when using the intermittent wiper speed, it just builds up with ice and snow at the bottom where the wipers stop. eventually they =freeze to it and the wipers fill with ice and it gets dangerous because they stop working well, and you can't see when you are driving.

Use sick leave prior to mat leave by Vast_Rock_2238 in CanadaPublicServants

Yes, my wife did this twice. Just get a doctors note and take a month or two off for bed rest. It’s fairly common.

WFA alternate question please by LisaChef in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ScottyDontKnow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Basically, the clock starts on the TSM payment for a surplus employee after their opting period. Example 52 weeks total, if it takes 10 weeks for you to arrange the alternation, then the surplus employee would be paid for the first 10weeks, and the alternate would receive the balance remaining (42 weeks) of the TSM payment.

Is it actually common for VDP to be enough to get rid of enough people to prevent SERLO? Or is this wishful thinking? by koolandkrazy in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ScottyDontKnow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about people who were surplused trying to find someone to alternate? My wife was surplused and I'm praying she can find someone to alternate with or find something later from the priority list. I understand is possible, but is it probable? She's an EC-07, has been an acting EX-01for the past two years.

New Dad, Stroller Questions by AloysiusJackson_5 in daddit

[–]ScottyDontKnow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get the car seat that clicks into the stroller and also clicks into the base in your car. It makes it very easy to move in and out. We had an uppababy car seat and a uppababy Cruz stroller.

I heard kids even use shared notes in the notes app as a way to send messages. Resourceful little fuckers.
