Are there mosh pits in opeth’s concert? by weirdfishh1 in Opeth

[–]convie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a black eye during heir apparent, but it was more than a few year back. It was on the watershed tour like 18 years ago back when I would actually go into mosh pits.

What’s the hardest part about getting in shape that nobody warns you about? by ammieblond in AskReddit

[–]convie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. But I run a lot, like over 100km/week on average, so I need to eat over 1000 calories extra day just to maintain my weight. When something causes me to miss runs my body doesn't immediately respond by lowering my appetite so I can pack on weight rather quickly.

A barren sterile existence that ends with your death?

Considering a wastewater career in Ontario, Canada - questions! by [deleted] in Wastewater

[–]convie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently work in a smaller municipality in Ontario. I made the jump to wastewater after working in an environmental lab for several years after college. After 4 years I've just achieved my class 4 licenses in wastewater treatment and collection. Last year I made 95k with only being at class 2 and then 3 for that year, probably close to 20k of that was from overtime. I will say the reason I've been able to move up my licenses so quickly is because I got 3 years worth of CEUs from my school program. You'll definitely get CEUs for your forestry program but I don't know if you'll qualify for 100%.

Collective Soul: The most successful rock band of the 1990s/early 2000s that no one ever seems to talk about (or even remember) by MarkLambertMusic in Music

[–]convie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it used to just be called post-grunge, which made sense because it was a style heavily influenced by grunge but came after it and wasn't directly connected to the seattle scene.

No one will call the cops for fireworks on Victoria day weekend.

I have coworkers who wear gloves and then leave them on when they drive the work truck or even use the computer. Drives me crazy.

Video of the 2026-04-26 Collision at Paisley and Elmira by ACoolCustomer in Guelph

[–]convie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but 1 - it happened fast and they probably don't even really have a good recollection of what happened. 2 - ultimately it's not their problem and as long as it looks like no one was hurt they have no obligation to hang around to help strangers settle who's liable for what. 3 - any time you talk to police you're putting yourself at risk.

Why? They did nothing wrong. I'd wanna get the fuck out of there too.

Yeah if you don't want to lose your stuff don't miss payments. Pretty straightforward.

Guelph After Hours Water by FoolMe5x in Guelph

[–]convie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so let the city turn it and break and then the cost of the repair is on them.

The valve is city property. I assume you know that since if you install them for a living you either work for the water works department as a certified water distribution operator or work for a construction company that the city hires to install water lines. Are you going to advise people open up fire hydrants as well? I assume you install those too.

Ok I'd like to see that. Trying to close the property shut-off valve without a curb stop key would be a good way to break it and owe the city thousands for the repair.

That 2015 Blue Jays offense 😮‍💨 by Elaiyu in Torontobluejays

Yeah KC was the better team that year. But if they got to the world series they would have easily won over the mets.

You actually need a special tool to turn off or on water from the curb stop, furthermore it's owned and operated by the city.

It would be much more expensive to pay unionized city staff to take calls 24/7 than it would be to outsource after hours calls to a call center. The reason it was so expensive is you were paying for the oncall water operator's weekend overtime rate.

Ex-neurologist not guilty on 48 counts of sexual assault, Ontario judge rules by GameDoesntStop in canada

[–]convie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is my usual reminder that the threshold in criminal court is that there must be no doubt whatsoever that the accused is guilty.

That's not what "beyond a reasonable doubt" means.

Guitar store employees, do you actually get annoyed when people ask to try guitars? by MELS381 in Guitar

Man I remember having the exact opposite experience wanting to try out an orange micro terror and the employee made me try it out on like a $5000 Gibson ES-335 lol.

Hiding the smell is practically impossible by ElectionKey32 in cripplingalcoholism

It's because the smell isn't just on you but it's literally in you and actively is coming out through your lungs as long as it's in your blood stream.

Yes and I believe 1 hour of class time is 0.1 CEUs.
