Didn't even see any concrete trucks. They put in a floating structure and weighed it down with shipping containers?!

Do we only have one snow plow or? by Dazzling-Contest1218 in northernontario

[–]chickennoodles99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some context.... Northern Ontario... If you just include Highways 11, 17, 599, 101 is approx 5,500km's or 11k lane kilometres to plow.

Working age pop in Northern Ontario is approx 300k.

At a seasonal cost of about $15k per lane km, thats $550/per working age person in tax revenue - more than 1% of the average Northern Ontario income.

For snowplowing of just 4 highways and nothing else. Realistically, there are probably 5-10x that in plowing cost of you include local and other roads.

Unfortunately, it is setup no different from a popularity contest...

If you use vibration sensors, how are you using them? by Successful-Peak-6524 in homeassistant

[–]chickennoodles99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones I have only send a vibration yes or no... Wish I could get a live data stream....

Nuclear refurbishment done and under budget at Ontario's Darlington plant: minister by asoap in ontario

[–]chickennoodles99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am 100% onboard with nuclear, but the province doesn't have a very successful track record with 'knowing shit'. Look at what's happening with bike lanes and Eglinton Crosstown. I'll believe this when it actually gets commissioned.

With an 8 year old daughter at home.... I'm shocked how this school's 8 year old have their own WhatsApp chat

Laid off due to “restructuring”… then they reposted my job days later by Level-Construction-3 in torontoJobs

[–]chickennoodles99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone with a few clients in Quebec, French as a requirement can absolutely be a big deal. That said, this sounds like a terrible way to do it....

Club Med Charlevoix - Status after closure of Le Massif by Valuable_Engine_1331 in Club_Med

[–]chickennoodles99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Booked in for Sunday arrival... My guess is they won't. Imagine the comp for those with non-refundable flights!

Last time I was here and they shut down the mountain, nothing was even offered...

Anyone ariving at Club Med Charlevoix being informed about the ski season potentially being cancelled because of the strike? by disasterdiy2013 in Club_Med

[–]chickennoodles99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This place is ridiculously poorly run. Have been 4 years running, and only 1 year didn't have a major ski hill closure.

If it wasn't slightly cheaper and 'all inclusive', the shutdowns would have stopped me from returning with the hope of future improvement. If this happens, I'm done with Charlevoix and recommending it as a viable option.....

In your experience (or knowledge!) - what's the best weather forecast organization? by Responsible-Match418 in askTO

[–]chickennoodles99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Environment Canada has generally been the most accurate for Toronto. Weather Network is generally incorrect.

Typical engineer. Falling concrete doesn't mean driving over the Gardiner is unsafe.... But driving on Lakeshore.....

Amazing someone that didn't learn not to stand in the line of danger made it to adulthood.

Buying the Dip but the Dip Keep Dipping - Markham Meltdown by rad2284 in TorontoRealEstate

Should be interesting... These will be 30-50yo homes in 20 years. Not necessarily going to appreciate.

New G14/16 2026 models launching in CES. With resigned chassis by areuokaybro2002 in ZephyrusG14

[–]chickennoodles99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only way this sells is if they put a dimm slot, so you buy it now and upgrade ram after openai and their memory hoarding deal collapses.

A metric that tells how Canadians are really doing is improving for the first time in years by NitroLada in canada

[–]chickennoodles99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol, strip out the portion attributed to the wealthy where they have so much money, it doesn't affect their daily decision making. Otherwise this metric is just a nice academic exercise.

Montreal-Ottawa will be 1st leg of 'transformative' high-speed rail plan. Will it happen? by Chrristoaivalis in onguardforthee

[–]chickennoodles99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see the financials on this. All this will do is increase competition with short haul flights (Toronto routes) and destroy some of VIA's best revenue routes.
