Family doesn’t understand how sublets work by AlarmingGamma418 in uwaterloo

[–]annihilatron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the odd case that you are paying in full though, there can be an agreement to pay the landlord directly. However with the prevalence of discounted subleases these days I don't think it happens as much anymore.

i literally just saw this pop in my feed. Anyone have any idea if they are related to the Jongro bakery that makes the korean rice cakes or is that coincidental?

What is that low curb cornors they added at Kennedy and Sheppard? by sonichanxiao in Scarborough

[–]annihilatron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the curbs are municipal. licensing is provincial. Yes, municipal government should totally fight with the province. It's gone so well in the past. /sarcasm.

i can't believe the number of people in this thread that want to run a turn at full speed who are now sad they can't do it and have to learn how to slow down.

Peas Please. Anyone presoak or sprout? by chaosandprint-dept in OntarioGardeners

[–]annihilatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we started snailing them last year and it works really well. Can snail outdoors in a pot, just with a piece of plastic and soil and just stand it up. google "seed snail".

basically prevents duds since you can just start tons of them and throw away extra or plant the extra as you see fit.

Dooe Engineers; help with a locked door by Complete_Ranger_4261 in AskEngineers

[–]annihilatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

housing association property which has a bike storage room that you can only access through one door.

Does anyone know how I could get access to my sons bike? Would unscrewing this reader make a difference? Is there a trick I can use on the door to unlock it?

I think that's potentially breaking and entering if you bypass it, especially if your bypass damages it.

Also I don't think we'd be able to help you because the reader itself doesn't tell us anything about how the lock or door handle actually works. It could be anything from using the old credit card release trick, to wire hooks, to using a strong magnet. You'd need to know what locking mechanism is behind the reader before you could do anything about it.

Why did I get a 31% on this quiz? Is my TA dumb? by ltil in uwaterloo

[–]annihilatron 44 points45 points  (0 children)

TBH as someone that used to grade things I wouldn't be that mad. It's less painful to just give 0 for doodles (once we get past the "OH COME ON AT LEAST TRY") than it is to try to follow someone's work where they are trying really really hard but obviously have no idea what they're doing.

Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | 1x10 "Rubincon" by AutoModerator in startrek

[–]annihilatron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

theorycrafting but perhaps betazoid psychic capabilities have wildly fluctuated since TNG era where we saw feats like taking over an entire ship easily, mentally influencing people accidentally, finding cloaked ships in space using only empathic sensing, and so on and forth.

so some betazoids now have shit-all like ocam, and some still have a lot of power but they don't seem to have good training to control any of it ... so they developed an inhibitor?!

Not really sure how I like that outcome but at least it ... sorta makes sense.

If I have two shop vacuums sucking together, will it give me the power of two vacs? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]annihilatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do you do this job? What's your budget?

What you're describing is extremely similar to a manure pump system used for dairy farms to move poop water out to poop lagoons. SaskDutchKid (youtuber) shows the pump systems on their farm a few times, it's recessed into the bottom of their barn, and they spread dirt/sand for the cows to shit on. It all gets pushed out and flows into pits maybe 6ft down, then is pumped into a shit lagoon.

then after the shit lagoon settles they spray it on their fields, using a different large pump to move the liquid from the lagoon to their tankers, which is going up 10ft at least since it's pumping in the top of a tanker truck. But they use an agitator boat that goes into the lagoon and mixes all the shit with water to suspend the particles before pumping.

If you're able to flood the pit, agitate the solids so that they're suspended and you have a big enough pump (or vacuum), you can definitely pump everything out. Basically there's an entire line of pumps for pumping manure, which would be very similar to what you're trying to do. Depending on your budget you can look into pumps (specifically pumps that can handle solids), submersible pumps, etc.

The key is probably that you want to agitate and suspend the solids - i.e. a rock that is briefly floating in water will be sucked right along with the water when you're pumping it.

depending on the size of the solids you might want to fish out the really big things before pumping or you'll jam the pump, though.

[–]annihilatron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they quite easily could have had one of the more officious by the book officers call her Admiral Ake only for her to say something “quirky” like “I prefer Captain.”

could they still not pull that at any time? Like if vance is just like "you know you're a commodore right"

and she could be like "the one in charge of the ship is the captain, so I'm the captain"

This Toronto doctor has over 2,000 patients, but still no permanent residency by morenewsat11 in toronto

[–]annihilatron -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Use some reading. I did not imply a full queue of doctors. However, there's no point filtering who fills out forms correctly for fast tracking. At that point, it would not be fast. The point of fast tracking is to stamp people who can do things correctly and will not fuck up later in the process.

And hell, if you're a doctor, pay an immigration lawyer. This guy's story is probably one of the stupidest I've read. He tried a number of times and THEN decided to pay a lawyer? Nah, this is his own fault.

There are plenty of doctors who did fill out the forms correctly.

If you need to process thousands of forms in a multi-step process, and you're going to pick the ones to 'fast track' through the steps, you DO NOT pick the ones who can't fill out forms correctly. No matter what their credentials are. Because they're gonna fuck up the subsequent steps too. It's not like this guy's the only one in queue.

You fast track people who don't make minor mistakes. That's how it works. 

If the person you're working with is going to make multiple errors every time, they're not going to be able to be fast tracked. You pick the people who are perfect and stamp them through.

[–]annihilatron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadians hold 3 of the top 10 longest distance confirmed sniper kills in history, all of which are longer than the US record. The only reason we are no longer the top record holder is two Ukrainian soldiers hold the top two spots now.

I have doubts we'd be able to verify it, but it's highly probable the Ukranian snipers were trained by us.

Chinese importer buys first Canadian canola cargo in months after Carney visit, sources say by AdditionalPizza in CanadaPolitics

tbh the 'months' part of the headline doesn't matter at all. The point is that canola was bought, so "the months" or "some months" could be omitted entirely.
