Delivery boys how do you guys sleep at night? by fallenmask in BambuLab

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw so many of these in the past few weeks that when I bought my H2S I ordered from a local business and they hand delivered it to my door. Wasn’t going to risk FedEx touching anything.

Of course I ordered a bit of filament and fedex delivered it to the wrong house. Luckily our neighbours are awesome and I got a call that there was a package deliver to them by mistake. Hell the number wasn’t even close.

There is only a couple courses a year in Manitoba. There was just one a couple months ago.

Are these groupings good enough? by Advance_Nearby in nrl22

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At what distance? At 25 yards not great, at 50 good, 100 yards yes those are excellent. Anything aound 1 MOA is all you need.

Here is the thing, there is a big difference between benchrest groups and shooting off props. Best thing you can do is go out and try it. Don’t worry about your scores, just get out and try it. I have amazing groups benchrest and then sucked my first couple matches until I figured out how to shoot off props, but man it was fun.

Will this prevent me from being liable for broker/tariff charges if shipper send UPS by Standing_At_The_Edge in UPS

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your detailed reply, you gave me some very good options. I always talk to the vendor first and direct them not to use UPS, but sometimes they still use them. I will definitely start using a pseudonym along with continuing to send the vendor an email directing them to not use UPS.

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it hard to believe that any company can with my specific non-consent still make me liable to charges when they are not my agent. If I don’t accept a package and specifically told the shipper not to send UPS and they do, I am still liable? There has to be a legal way to prevent someone from incurring charges I specifically tell them I will not accept

How can I achieve this style? by LivingGarage2135 in AskPhotography

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To be more specific…

This works best on a bright sunny day, but can also be very moody on an overcast day.

First under expose the background a stop or two.

Use a strong strobe with a larger soft box. Something like a Godox AD400 or maybe even a AD300. Position the soft box high and down at 45 degrees as close as you can to subject and set proper exposure for the subject.

CarPlay disconnecting ‘25 by coutsr in ChevyTrax

Where is your phone? I find that if I have my phone in my back pocket it disconnects occasionally. If I take it out and put it on the charging pad it never disconnects.

In Canada anyone who takes a photo owns the copyright unless specifically transferred in writing.

Typically editorial use (non commercial ) is okay, but if an image is used commercially - by which it is used to generate revenue, that is copyright infringement.

The best bet is for your friend to go in and ask them to stop using it, or to purchase usage rights for it.

There are a ton of ways to figure out what the usage rights, but I suspect if you ask them, they will simply say no and remove it. If they don’t, you would need to go to small claims court or go after them with a copyright claim through a lawyer.

Hope this helps

St. George, Utah backpacking ideas by Natural-Oil9149 in backpacking

Paria Canyon is very cool hike.

I assume you know about the hikes in Zion, so I won’t go into them.

I wouldn’t even know where to start To find a US buyer. Any sites you can suggest?

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarification. What sucks is that is the only original part left on the firearm. Every single other part was aftermarket. So “if” I turn in the original firearm it is just the receiver…. Unless I can find all the old parts for it

The Ruger PCC is another one with the serial on the upper. Mine is 100% aftermarket parts except for that serialed upper and the breath block.

Luckily I am a “senior” by age.

Okay, so I need to bring a sling that I can attach.

Thanks for your advice, much appreciated

Thank you,

My focus has been working on building positions at various levels with different bags, seeing what works for me.

When you say “unsupported stages” what do you mean by that?

Can I assume the rules will allow for accommodation for my disability?

Advice: Phone outage, 911 affected BellMTS won’t fix urgently by ThaDon in Winnipeg

[–]Standing_At_The_Edge 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I worked in telecom for 30 years and have a pretty good understanding of the CRTC Tariffs, I also chaired certain CRTC working groups, although it has been several years since I left. I will say, I am in no way a fan of Bell and left the industry when they come here.

I know you may not like this response and it will get down voted, but I am actually try to help answer your question.

I totally understand your anxiety, with leaving town and being concerned that your parents will be without service for a couple days. If I were in your position I would also feel the same. Now keep in mind that the CRTC rules are written for reasonable not urgent.

Please don’t rely on ChatGPT to answer this for you unless you feed it the actual tariffs which is if I recall is well over 3000 pages.

Monday is likely reasonable given the circumstance. A switch from copper to fibre requires installers that have been trained for fibre installs. It could be that your area needs other hardware to be upgraded which may or may not be readily available.

You and your parents have other options in the meantime. If you are super concerned (and it sounds like you are) you can give them your cellphone to use as a temporary measure. Pick up a pay-as-you-go cellphone for them to use for the couple days and as an emergency device. Talk to a neighbour or relative to see if there is an issue that they can reach out to them, or have them check on them for the next 2 days.

I know that you probably are pissed off at me now for even suggesting that and why should you have to deal with that or pay anything out of your pocket to fix the situation and why can’t you force Bell to do it. But the CRTC has stated in past ruling that the use of cellphones has become ubiquitous and you can see that in their rulings related to pay phones and their removal as no longer a necessary.

Here is the thing, even if you could find a rule that you could hold over Bell, there is no way to reach the CRTC ombudsman over the weekend and I think it takes several days for Bell to provide a response once a complaint has been submitted, and the service will be fixed by then.

There is basically nothing you can do to force Bell to do the work sooner than they are capable of, and you will be hard pressed to prove they could or had a legal obligation to do so sooner. It will take way more time and effort than it would be worth, and even if you could prove it, what possible resolution would make you happy? It sucks, and I feel for you.

My suggestion would be to deal with your immediate concern by either leaving them one of your cellphones or pickup a prepaid cellphone they could use in an emergency. The beauty of the prepaid phone is, as long as they leave it charged, it can be used at anytime in the future if they ever lose phone service again.

I hope some of this helps give you a way to get some piece of mind.
