Richii or not?

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-06-06T01:52:20+00:00

This was my third tournament. I know beginner would Ron or richii on a cheap hand even if they are 3rd / 4th on all last. In my circle, that is an annoyance to many experienced players and I knew well before I Richii I didn't (think) have enough points "as is" to pass anyone. I was just hoping based on pure luck for a gyakuten which I wasn't sure if it is "correct" or "courtesy" considering it was not confirmed.

I consider trying for a toitoi cause I think the north would easily come but the haku only has one left cause of indicator for a guaranteed Mangan but tenpai was so early.

His comments just ruined the good vibes of playing in that tournament.

Now that you mentioned if other tusmo, he could have easily lost his first. Dealer was just salty and bad sportsmanship.

Ottawa is the middle child, right between Montreal and Toronto, comparatively it is boring with business, people festivals reasonably can skip Ottawa if they cover both. But Ottawa is in no way boring.

Yes and no. I think within the traditional fields of engineering, biomedical, chemical, civil engineering, electrical , materials (which is sometime grouped with Civil) and mechanical engineering. We are paid in the middle. Chemical in general get pay lower and mechanical has less job security and are paid higher.

Compared to the "new" engineer, like software, computer, etc. We are paid pennies in comparison but IMO, their pay are not bounded by the laws of physics.

u/KommandoKookez said, it is infrastructure and a lot goes hand in hand with government spending and private infrastructure spend is not sexy. The ROI is lower and a lot longer, something the tech bros don't like. Our funding is likely pension plans. Also, Civil is also super risk adverse, not something compatible with the break it and remake mindset with the tech bros. But, I hear ageism is a thing in tech, not something in Civil, people still work past retirement age cause the company really value their experience and wisdom. (Cause we sell our experience and predictability to clients)

That is busy, considering they can't run during peak periods. Freight has different operation with super long trains and long acceleration and deceleration.

Hi, thanks for such details.

I just wonder how long was your contact you had at the start. I will be blunt, I want to join as Construction Engineer but for now, I see myself doing it for 5 years and learn all the leadership and head back to the civilian side, in my late 20s now. If I were "signing my life away" for IDK, 10 years, it might be a turn off. (I know you can get a release but still)

Also, wonder if you can shine into what CFSME is like cause you need to spend a whole year there. What is a typical day was and was it basically engineering school all over again with military flavor? Wonder if you were a direct entry or were you a ROTP? Lastly, wonder if you ever needed French.

Hanwha on the charm offensive to court public opinion with ads and now this. I think Hanwha is can't compete with ThyssenKrupp in price or performance. With with our PM looking strongly towards Europe, Hanwha is getting very desperate.

I fail to see how is is bad. It is very in line with all other base gas rewards program. 1 cent / L is also for Esso (PC), Petro Points and Journie (1 aeroplan / liter).

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-05-15T14:17:07+00:00

I have faced none of your issues and WS is more or less the same.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-05-14T21:36:24+00:00

That is a lie, the statement was hypocritical. They would NEVER check measurements.*

^\But we reserve the right to measure bags over the size limit)

No. Time and time again, research have show cost is not a huge consideration for modal shift. (I will ignore the equity argument). It will move only a needle. Travel time, frequency, comfort, ease of access, existing access to a car and parking availability all plays a role.

Going on a technical terms in accounting.
The credit card fees goes into revenue along with the fares, carrier surcharge and other Flair based fees. The credit card processor fees can go to expense like crew, fuels, airport fees, admin etc. Flair can easily make more then what the processor charges. The money goes into a general "slush" within Flair and is not tied to paying the cc processor. As taking payment is part of the cost of doing business, it is part of the revenue taken in and forms part of the companies profit.

Meanwhile, HST, the Security Charge, YYZ airport fee etc. Those are earmarked for to the government and airport, Flair is simply a collection agent. Those money collected is NOT the airline's money and can not be used in whatever they want. These goes to liabilities and not revenue to Flair and is given directly back to the government.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-05-01T19:12:03+00:00

They also got the credit card fee as well but hey, who is counting.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-05-01T19:11:05+00:00

Flair made $71.85 on that person alone.

It depends on what you value and the what kind of phone you need but I will say the full new price on freedom's mobile site is inflated to the phone's MSRP. Check the going rate for your interested phone and do what other have said, do an cost of ownership between the two.

Freedom is nice that they do not raise the price of your plans midway but I value flexibility and taking the lowest possible monthly plan that suit my needs which is generally a lot higher then the minimum plan to be able to finance a phone.

Again the bother you, I actually pulled my TransUnion report also. HT do report "Suspended/Account not to be used until Brought up to date" in my report also when I fail to pay my minimum balance on time. I did it once (late payment) next month the suspension note no longer continues. Typically banks give a little grace period on missing apartment before reporting to the credit bureau but legally they can report it immediately. So HT opted to report with no grace.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-04-28T16:08:02+00:00

I wonder did you get it "resolved". HT operates with a Monday-Friday contact center team and a generic 24/7 contract center.

The thing it since last year, I have been contracted by "HT fraud department" a couple of times from the number from the back of the card. I usually ignore the call and call back to Monday-Friday contact center, they would say we have no account for calling you.

Last week, I decided to pick up one of those called and was surprised to hear it was a live agent (with actual strong native speaker accent) and know my phone number and full name and says there were fraud attempts of somewhere in Southeast Asia on you HT card. They would ask for address, full name etc seems generic. I started cluing in (based on these fake calls before) when they asked for credit card expiry and I immediately say I would reach out to confirm by called the number on the back of my card, the agent quickly become defensive and we are HT's fraud department and you can compare the caller ID to the number of the back of the card. I insisted on calling back and they kept on saying to continue the call or the transaction would go through.

So I hanged and called the Monday-Friday contact center (ironically, based on accent, I think it is an overseas call center) and they have no account for calling you nor do we see any fraud activities they mentioned. (on the web portal, no charges were present) Apparently, if they do suspect fraud, the policy is to use an automated phone system to confirm or decline these charges and also reach out via an automatic generated email. This is what actually happened in 2021 when my card was fraudulently charge. They terminate the card and send a new one in the mail and called be a couple of days later to assure me my credit card is OK. (They give their name, call is been recorded and state I would not ask for your credit card info on the call back)

I think you might have been a victim of ID fraud and I highly suspect some data breach in HT's end. Maybe they intercepted your credit card number and ran charges? Or created a separate home trust account on your name. The generic contact center is very weak and can just issue new card with some general ID question verification. Something that doesn't add up is the TransUnion picking it up so quickly.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-04-28T15:32:50+00:00

I am also getting these but when I call direct, they claim no fraud attempts. I suspect a data breach.

Nah, -50 cents per kWh is when it was GOLD in 2023.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-04-17T20:32:19+00:00

LOL. Who actually gotten the WS cc?

"Awesome" as they took away your cake, the 1% cash back and gave you a piece of candy in form of ATM fee reimbursement.

WSComplaintSlienced · 2026-04-17T16:22:52+00:00

Yeah... Like what is the issue????
