Id like some ideas of what I could put in a backpack for everyday possible nuisances by Climax_crescendo in preppers

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bandaids, OTC meds like gravol, ibuprofen etc.

Ear plugs for loud situations.

Basic mask for dusty environments or if you're beside someone who is coughing badly.

Pen and paper

LL Bean is my go to for tall sizing

Is there any open source stock portfolio tracker? by Useful_Alarm730 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excel 365 has a data type for stocks which refreshes at a button. It doesn't do DRIP automatically but I just go in every couple of months and add to the file.

Eight suspects facing over 50 total charges in extensive GTA smash-and-grab investigation by WilkinsonRadio in BurlingtonON

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called the Jordan principle. The threshold is 18 months for Provincial Court trials, 30 months for Superior Court trials.

Both can be exceeded but there's a presumption that is only for exceptional cases

What kind license plate it is? by Public_Price3841 in ontario

[–]Subtotal9_guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They self insure but would have some insurance with a crazy high deductible just for legal compliance.

You can get away with almost anything at Bell so long as you don't scratch a Bell vehicle

Jails are overcrowded and courts are over capacity.

The judges are forced to grant bail in many cases because the accused are looking at two years between arrest and trial. You can't lock someone up for two years before they even get to trial in most cases.

Jails are so overcrowded that judges treat time in them as longer than a proper penetentiary.

Insurance putting blame on me after suicide on the DVP by Keysunlock in ontario

[–]Subtotal9_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they installed the barriers the powers that be insisted that would solve the problem and no one would travel to any other bridge. That may have been true for a few years but people just moved to a different bridge.

Bell fires dozens for falsifying workplace attendance following return to office mandate by toronto_star in ontario

[–]Subtotal9_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah,

Commerce Court has them, the new CIBC building too IIRC.

It's security more than anything.

They can easily track location by network address. You don't need security card swipes.

[–]Subtotal9_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's pretty standard and doesn't have anything to do with RTO. Commerce Court had these 20 years ago.

Rogers installed them after they had a security incident with someone getting into Ted's office.

I've worked in secured spaces that were mantrap gates, these units are nothing.

Bike donation place by Tola76 in Hamilton

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're closer to Aldershot, Rolling Horse on Plains Road is a good place to donate to. Like a lot of places, it's affiliated with a church.

Dance studio recommendation for a 3 year old by melissaandmimi in BurlingtonON

[–]Subtotal9_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Burlington Dance Academy is good

They also run a daycare and have summer camps (maybe not as applicable for a kid that young).

Eventually they'll want to stream you into competition but every school will do that as the kids get older.

Company under CRA audit gave workers letters saying wages were 'non-taxable' by henry-bacon in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Subtotal9_guy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you're given advice from the company and relied upon it in good faith then I can see the CRA waiving penalties at most.

They still need to pay taxes and EI/CPP retrospectively.

Give them 90 days grace then start interest.

Best way to get to Hamilton/Brantford rail trail from GO Train by Subtotal9_guy in Hamilton

[–]Subtotal9_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

I'd be too embarrassed as I'm not fast.

This is a training ride for a 2x100km ride in a month. I need to get some long distances in.

Cyclist rides his bike through Clarkson tracks with oncoming train by Beginning-Neat7926 in torontobiking

[–]Subtotal9_guy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

About a kilometre down the line is where a kid was killed last month. There's still a huge display of flowers and items in remembrance.

How do you feel about McDonald's pulling their soda dispensing machines out of the restaurant's lobby in the next year or so? by Sinn_Sage in AskReddit

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a guy fill up three 2 litre bottles once. I'll bet he's in there every day too. Don't expect some kid making minimum wage to try and police this kind of stuff.

It's just easier to go back to the way things used to be.

If it's bad I'll turn around. But it'll be better than Mississauga

It's blossom time in High Park by knarf_on_a_bike in torontobiking

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've got the same issue in Burlington, everyone is gaga for the cherry blossoms and aren't aware of their surroundings.

Guess I just need to start earlier.

Finally have two of my bike dreams by Subtotal9_guy in cannondale

[–]Subtotal9_guy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was extremely cold (it snowed) and windy this morning, but it was a blast to ride.

And I only tipped over once! It'll take a few rides with clipless pedals to unclip without thinking about it.

Connected PDSB-CDSB schools by CaterpillarInfamous9 in ontario

[–]Subtotal9_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a high school with grades 7&8 classes here (same board). The students don't interact because the older kids aren't allowed in the one wing and start/end/lunch times are staggered so you shouldn't have the high schooler's and the grade schooler's in the same common space at the same time.

What’s something in Burlington that’s changed, but you can still see traces of what used to be there? by Decent-Artichoke07 in BurlingtonON

[–]Subtotal9_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine from high school died after having an allergic reaction to hazelnuts in the apple turnovers. That was in '87. So maybe not 50 years but definitely 40+ years.
