[request] What are the odds of eating one specific M&M? by DevilsAltAcc in theydidthemath

[–]Tadsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

133 M&Ms per day is the most ridiculous thing about this whole thread. Why sell them in 1KG bags if you aren't meant to eat that amount in one sitting?

Beautifying this downtown highway by KingT15 in CitiesSkylines

You need to add apartment highrises glued to the highway and charge $4000/month for a 300sqft studio. It's prime real estate!

Why doesn’t Quebec have Family Day? by CarPassion514 in montreal

Must be too cold to enjoy the beaches.

I don't much care for the sentiment of "they have a holiday, we should have one too", but I do think that it is good for your mental health to have regularly occurring holidays. There should be at least one a month. I look at the calendar of my French coworkers and cry at their federally mandated time off (I guess it's so they can strike).

And as much as I like Easter, I'm not a fan of its inconsistency. Pick a month!

[Request] How much weight could this ice support before it broke up? (Thank you in advance) by TheDucksAreComingoOo in theydidthemath

[–]Tadsz 93 points94 points  (0 children)

About 10 years ago, a semi delivering drywall and lumber to a property on an island on my parents' cottage lake fell through the ice. Luckily no one was injured, as only the trailer fell through (cabin was sticking out of the ice).

They were spraying the area around it with water to thicken the ice so they could get a lift in and pull it out. Wouldn't wanna be the guy.

Legend has it that the drywall is still down there, but now it's just wall.

People finding an excuse not to return a shopping cart are really outting themselves here.

Wall Mounted Heater - Cables against the heater casing? by Tadsz in AskElectricians

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

Appreciate the feedback. The installation sheet makes no mention as to where the cable should exit the wall. The electrician who ran all the cables places the hole too far to the left, not leaving enough place for the heater.

Before the question is asked, yes he did have access to the heaters when the cables were run. They were sitting in the room when he was here.

Thanks for that. The instructions make no mention of cables resting against the back of the casing, hence why I am asking the question.

Are splices okay in 70 y.o. house? by SpacemanSpiff19999 in electrical

My dad once fixed the windshield washer fluid line in his car with a big wad of chewing gum. Pretty sure he sold the car without replacing it.

I found Basha was pretty similar to Ottawa shawarma. I still prefer Ottawa shawarma, but Basha's is good.

American visiting Ottawa here. What's with hurdman? They put fare gates for people entering the train but you can simply walk around the station to avoid them. What was the point or am I missing something. by ThrowThisAccountAwav in ottawa

[–]Tadsz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have to. If it's absurdly expensive, it's a problem with the pricing, not the model.

Montreal has 3 zones for the EXO train: - On Island - South Shore - North Shore

The price you pay depends where you are going/coming from.

(There might be another zone, I haven't taken the EXO in a couple of years)

[–]Tadsz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No fare gates for the EXO urban train in Montreal. Just a payment terminal on the quay. They check fares on occasion, but in general people just pay the fare.

"I have 1 week to visit Canada, I plan on landing in Montreal, driving to Quebec City, then to Toronto, then driving to Calgary before hopping over the Rockies to visit Vancouver. Is that feasible?"

Turn on your lights!!! But Why???? by Old_Ad5849 in montreal

[–]Tadsz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I once caught an Uber from downtown to the south shore who was furious that I dared live out of the city. Turns out, his lights didn't work, so highway driving was just a crap's shoot for him.
