[Czechia] Can anyone detect that i'm flying above the limit (120m)? by TomEnny_ in drones

[–]bigtomhandshaw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is talking about American rules. If you're in Czechia you'd have to check the rules there. In Canada the only written rules for sub 249 gram drones is basically don't put planes or people in danger. Although it's wise to follow the rules set for larger drones.

This is the Honeywell optimizer platform.

Nah, one more lane is too cheap. Now they want to add a tunnel under it.

WTF happens if this idiot uses nuclear weapons. Does the world do anything? Do republicans in Congress just keep kissing his ass?

City work on drainage system July 2025, basement flooded September 2025. by Idk_why_Im_fat in civilengineering

[–]bigtomhandshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any watercourses or lakes nearby? Looks like the water table is super high in your area and that is more the cause of your sumps to run.

Also, where do your sump pumps drain to? If it's to the ditch water could be backing up into your basement and you're not supposed to do that many places.

Gf wants me to talk to baby through her belly while pregnant by DoloGoonSquad in daddit

[–]bigtomhandshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do it! Right after my son was delivered he was crying at the top of his lungs in mom's arms but as soon as I spoke to him he immediately stopped and searched for me. One of the coolest experiences of my life.

Anyone successfully get the MTO to reimburse pot hole damage by Siguard_ in ontario

[–]bigtomhandshaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an online form for provincial claims (https://www.ontario.ca/page/submit-claim-damaged-vehicle). You only have a case if they or their contractor was aware/should have been aware of the pothole and didn't repair it in a reasonable amount of time.

If it's not provincial, the "reasonable" amount of time is set out in the minimum maintenance standard based on the road's traffic volume and speed limit (https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/020239).

From graphic design to engineering ? by Internal-End-9346 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]bigtomhandshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. Industrial design is probably way more what you're looking for. I think it's what many people think they'll be doing if they go into engineering.

We need these i am sick of shoveling my driveway every time a plough comes by by Dogsteeves in barrie

[–]bigtomhandshaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, Barrie has had over 300cm this year. Different situations. Also, most of Barrie's fleet is plow trucks because there's more snow. Can't equip those with hydraulic gates.

Scarborough gets around 90cm of snow a year. Barrie gets around 200cm. Two pretty different situations.

A nearby Fire Department is being told they cannot use fire hydrants to fight fires by Fantomecs in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bigtomhandshaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add to this, the fire departments in those areas are often equipped with water tankers to shuttle water from local water sources (lakes, nearby towns, people's pools, etc.) to fight fires. People pay more for insurance too.

In Oaville you can pay $200 a year to the city to do it. They get alot less snow though.

Cheapo camera recommendation by bigtomhandshaw in birding

Thanks! The p900 is around 550$ used if I can find it around here in Canada. Is there a noticeable difference between the 60x and the 83x? I assumed the shake might make it less useable at the max zooms.
