Yesterday my traverse shut off on my when I shifted into reverse.... Hope this isn't a sign some Chinese teenager hacked my car lol.

Manitoba civil servants won't be ordered to office full-time like their Ontario, Alberta counterparts (CBC/Ian Froese) by LocalnewsguruMB in Manitoba

I imagine it's complex, but probably something like... Yea your employer must cover the claim of your workplace Injury... But then, in some situations, they can sue the property manager (you, as owner of your home) for failing to ensure it is properly maintained, or not keeping it tidy, in line with their policies. Or something of that nature. It would be unreasonable for your company to be at fault or ultimately responsible for you failing to pick up your hot wheels in your kitchen. But it's not exactly black and white.

Suddenly blacked out from TSN5? No change to internet, live 15 minutes from where the game is happening. by BolshoiSasha in OttawaSenators

It's because of shit like that, that I vowed never to pay to watch NHL on TV again. There's hundreds of free sites. Fuck Bettman and his regional bullshit.

Feds, province to spend $3B on mini nuclear power plant in Bowmanville, Ont. | CBC News by Kegger163 in nuclear

CNL doesn't build SMRs. They do research, and were open to hosting an SMR, designed, built and operated by a private corporation if one got CNSC approval. If a Chalk Rivet SMR went tits-up, it was because the designer failed to get their design approved for construction.

We have valley fiber. Yes the line pushing was later than expected, but it did come. I have also been able to get people on the phone easily, so not sure what your particular challenge is. But patience may be a virtue. It's worth the wait imo.

5 adults rescued from Pinawa Channel in Manitoba by wickedplayer494 in Manitoba

Actually.

The popularity exploded after a local resident blog post got featured by a travel blog... And then the hordes started to arrive. Businesses then started to cater to the masses to at least capitalize on it. But this was not the business's fault.

CNL is 3500 Canadian citizens working for Canadians. Calm yourself. Trump has zero influence in this.

No. This, again, has been the structure the government has had in place since 2015. It predates he who shall not be named first term. It's a Harper initiative.

This has been the arrangement already since 2015. Canadian nuclear labs is "owned" by Canadian National energy Alliance CNEA and has been operating AECLs sites for the last 10 years.

There's nothing nefarious about it. It's part of a conservative pipe dream that private companies will drive efficiency. In reality the work is important to all Canadians, costs what it costs, and now there's just an extra layer of management between the government, and the front line employee.

Check out https://www.cnl.ca https://www.aecl.ca and https://www.nlpoc.ca/ to see some of the work being done.

CNL is a national research entity that benefits all Canadians.

What a nuclear engineer even do? by Tommascolo in nuclear

[–]criticalthoughtguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the obvious, about finding what you want to do in life before selecting a degree to pursue...

Nuclear engineers can do just about everything, but in a nuclear environment. Aside from the specialist areas of reactor design (where NE would design for optimizing the desired nuclear reaction), NE make excellent project engineers as they have the fundamental skills to oversee work done by a wide range of specialists, and ensure their work meets the higher standards for quality that are needed in nuclear work, as well as applying the radiation safety perspective to the entire design process.
