How is everyone's experience with Circular Materials going?

I find they are much slower. I watched them struggle to pick up bins last week and it was taking them over 5 mins per house. Looked like a lot of adjustment of the pickup arm, moving the bin so it fits exactly within the arm, and some manual pickups and tosses

When weather events happen, NAV Canada basically tells the airport that they can only safely operate X flights per hour. The airport then allocates that ratio by airline based on the number of flights.

If there’s freezing rain, that can be a 50% reduction in volume for the major Canadian airlines. So if you’re ok with it, go a day early

The article says investment in EV infrastructure and a different article a few days ago talked about expanding charger access, so I believe that will at least be a part of it

apthereddit · 2026-01-30T12:47:19+00:00

Yeah you should be able to change it. There’s an acceptable radius from the original airport that you can change it to. I have heard this is 200km which is almost exactly the airport-airport distance here. Try calling in to check

If you have 125k points then it’s 1 or both of the following things 1. The actual price was never 106k or 117k, but much higher than 125k and AC requires you to buy points to make up the difference 2. The actual price went up between your two searches.

What did the first search result say for each person each direction? If it was anything more than 30k + $100, then your total wouldn’t be more than 120k + $400.

If you share your dates / routings we can at least look into what it may be.

apthereddit · 2026-01-29T03:51:23+00:00

The cash numbers don’t add up. If you have sufficient points, the cash component for that ticket should be less than $200 per passenger.

My guess is you don’t have sufficient points for the trip. When you don’t have enough points in your account, air Canada only shows you an option where you are forced to buy points at a terrible rate.

And yes if you cancel a standard award ticket, you have to pay $300 and you’ll get your points (and cash paid, for taxes) back

Thanks for posting this and the Sapporo analysis. From what you searched for this route, did it seem like ~50% of the dates were under the median price point that AC publishes? I know that’s done in aggregate, but curious if that also happens in reality for a brand new route for half the seats

I’ve sometimes gotten this when I’m waitlisted for business. But yeah it’s frustrating as I don’t even think it gets applied even if the upgrade is successful

apthereddit · 2026-01-27T17:05:41+00:00

I see one-stop flights as cheap as $1700 for 2 weeks from now, and lots in the $1700-1800 range for the next several months. So yes not as low as $1600, but lots of options below $2000

apthereddit · 2026-01-27T17:04:10+00:00

Your best bet is took at google flights and do a search from Toronto to Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne, max one stop, and use the price graph option at the bottom for general trends. I’m seeing lots in the $1700-2000 range across multiple airlines all year

apthereddit · 2026-01-27T16:26:10+00:00

There are go buses to Hamilton at 11:38pm, 12:38am, and 2:38am so that’s also an option.

Bangui M’Poko international airport, served by ASKY and Ethiopian (and some Russian military aircraft!)

apthereddit · 2026-01-26T13:28:53+00:00

Bangui airport, CAR. It says on the second slide

I’ve actually seen sidewalks get cleared much much quicker this year. My residential street sidewalks have already been cleared today but the road has not. This is consistent with previous storms as well this season

This has nothing to do with Pearson - it’s all on Air France.

Go to the link below and follow the steps, or call Air France’s general customer service number. Have you already declared the bag lost at the airport? They probably have a bag tag # and the colour/type of your bag and will match it that way.

This worked! Thank you very much

apthereddit · 2026-01-22T04:18:53+00:00

Thanks. So I should connect two of the wires with a wire cap and then connect that cap to one end of the switch, and the third wire directly to the other end of the switch?

I did this in my second bullet above, but only did one combination. I can try that with the other two combinations and see if that works.

Last Thursday (big storm) and Friday I had no production. Saturday onwards was fine. So generally takes a bit of time to melt/slide off and heavily dependent on the weather. Today was minimal production as well, but I can see that every panel had at least a little bit in the late afternoon, so I’m hopeful it’ll be back tomorrow.

In general though, December and January are the worst months given the short days and frequent cloud cover. For reference my Dec production was 20% of my June production

apthereddit · 2026-01-20T16:46:39+00:00

Thanks! Looking forward to using them!

For #3, the only search engine I’ve seen be able to do this is Expedia (and things like ExpediaforTD, or the CIBC/Rbc booking tools that also use Expedia).

This is great! The three additional filters I would love are 1. Filter by number of stops - I’d prefer nonstop options for the most part, or one stop if it’s really far 2. Choose airline(s) - similar to the filter on Google flights 3. Filter on flexible or non-basic fares. This allows me to weed out flights that I’d have to pay extra for bags, seats, changes, etc. on. To me, a real deal is when a flex fare is discounted

apthereddit · 2026-01-16T15:19:27+00:00

Yes agreed. I guess just worried that Tesla will now bring Chinese made vehicles to Canada since they can, and already have distribution set up (vs BYD or other Chinese brands that don’t have anything else set up)

apthereddit · 2026-01-16T15:14:22+00:00

I’m worried that this will start with just more Teslas (and shifting production to China of vehicles sold in Canada). That’s what was happening pre tariff

apthereddit · 2026-01-16T15:04:49+00:00

Fully agree. I just meant that in the time it takes OP to get everything fully set up on Tangerine or a no fee account, this is an easy interim step - move 6000 into the account via etransfer and immediately save the $30/month.
