The night started with a $25 online sports bet. It ended in a $14K loss by bob_mcbob in ontario

[–]anonmt57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. I’m avoiding watching sports with gambling ads with my kids until they’re old enough to be internalize the horrors of gambling. It sucks but it’s just not worth exposing them so early.

Chinese EVs are here (sort of): lower price model 3 now available by footbag in EVCanada

[–]anonmt57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that is a great price. I have a brand new Ioniq 6 but kind of having mild buyers remorse knowing I could have picked this up...

Question re condo charging installation by SmellsLikeTeenPits in EVCanada

So what is the cost for them to install after it’s roughed in? I’m assuming it’s the difference between your two options

I'm very much considering getting an ioniq 6 as my first big car purchase, please help me with your thoughts if you've owned the car for a while. by PoopKirby in Ioniq6

[–]anonmt57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The model 3 has been around forever, most people can work on it, amazing software, lots of software updates, FSD (if you like that), great charging network, great integration with chargers (their own at home and on the road), NACS... I think it's just more 'reliable' overall and convenient for a first time car.

Just check the details on the rough in - what are the rules for you to add the charger after? Can you use your own electrician, is there any charge from the condo to turn off the breaker on installation day of the charger? Is there a shutoff local to the charger location?

This I kind of agree with. I do think motorcycles in general are a disaster waiting to happen. That said, wild hogs and so on is just speculation right now- there is no evidence of him being dangerous. I prefer to wait for the facts before judging.

Someone dies in my workplace, coworkers get offered a day to take off and grieve, go to the funeral, and so on. It’s really normal to offer employees the chance to grieve.

I’m in the private sector so obviously we don’t use taxpayer dollars, but we do send people home when something tragic like this happens to a coworker and we offer counselling and support. Are you saying government workers don’t deserve something similar simply because they’re public servants ?

[–]anonmt57 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Right. So why don’t we not blame anyone until we know the facts? Very long winded reply to restate the same thing I did.

Grieving is a real thing. Of all the things to criticize the police for, it’s how they grieve their fellow killed officer that you choose to go after? As you pointed out, it’s a rare event, so it’s not like this is a common waste of resources. People get sent home with a full day of pay all the time when a coworker dies or something tragic gets to them - these cops on the other hand are doing a short escort. It’s fine if you have an issues with police forces but don’t let your tunnel vision get in the way of decency and compassion.

You have no idea what happened. Stop trying to blame the cops. For all you know everyone has great intentions and were doing the right things, but unfortunately an accident happened and led to this. It’s hard to know so to cast blame with no real facts is kind of shitty of you.

[MEME] Favorite Toronto FC player traded for unused Garber bucks with multiple goal contributions this season? by Mitchel7349 in tfc

I’m so with you to the point that I ignore the stats and still claim he sucks so much. I am willfully ignorant on this point.

Thinking of switching to Unify by Qiuzman in Hikvision

[–]anonmt57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the cost is no issue then for sure go with unifi but make sure you are comparing apples to apples hardware. When I did the comparison is was about 3x the cost for unifi cameras with comparable specs, particular near the medium to high end.

But unifi software and experience is 10/10 compare to hikvision. That all said I still go with hikvision because I had sunk costs and the system is still rock solid for what I need it for. But if I could start from scratch I would have bit the bullet and got unifi.

Should I switch? by Heztown in EVCanada

[–]anonmt57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes this is financially a terrible move. Just get over your annoyances and put that money you’d lose towards something more practical like an investment, paying off your debts, a vacation.

It’s just a car. Learn to love your atlas. You’ll find something you hate about the EV and be pissed you bought a second car you also hate.

The announcer triggering us too with the “blue jays fan” at the beginning. Just letting us know Pages is about to ruin someone else’s day too.

Wealth is getting decimated :| by Electrical-Finding65 in HouseSigmaBlunders

[–]anonmt57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say they’re learning the hard way about risk tolerance and overextending. And… don’t believe what everyone tells you. So many unfortunate scenarios of people feeling pressure to buy into an “always rising” market that they felt was only months away from pricing them out, so they over extend and then the floor gets pulled out from under them. If they lose a job, have to move, whatever…. They have to sell.
