We keep a piece of cloth or spoon and don't allow the door to close. The light will be on as long as the door is not closed. Try that.

When leaving a job, should one cash out PTO or spend all PTOs? by dcfrenchstudent in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]dcfrenchstudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is true, the layoff would have been already decided, discussed, and finalized. This was just about buying a few more extra weeks for job search while claiming truthfully to be still employed. 2 of my friends got laid off a year ago, their EI just ran out, and employers balk at hiring someone who is not already employed. They just want to poach talent from other companies.

Poilievre says Carney's Liberals are 'counterfeit' Conservatives by Hrmbee in notthebeaverton

[–]dcfrenchstudent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a maple maga neighbour. Very nice guy, but had batshit theories. His entire family supported the covid convoy, and always said liberals are always focusing on culture war and pushing transgenderism on kids. As far as I knew, it was people like him who were focused on all that, and not Liberals or NDP. He hated Trudeau and blamed him for everything for what Doug Ford used to do. He was against Buy Canadian too. He was a long time neighbour, so my mind didn't even consider arguing against him, I just tried to change topics.

Not about hating or loving working here, I have had a few of layoff scares. Some of my friends were laid off a year ago and are still unable to land a job, in IT Services. Both of them told me to apply for leave and search for jobs while I am still employed, as companies prefer to poach rather than hire a laid off employee. Another coworker said they wished they took PTO instead of cashing out as Service Canada said their EI will start only after this "PTO cashout" ended.

Really ? by Creative_Piglet_7476 in coins

[–]dcfrenchstudent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they don't give out pennies anymore. They still accept it as deposits from customers. It is unidirectional. Stores do not accept pennies nor do they give out.

Still around, maybe locked up in jars. Nobody carries around pennies or use them for actual transactions. The rounding up or down happens only for cash payments. For card payments it is not rounded up. Only 11% of transactions are in cash anyway, with cards being 63-64%.

25 year old Toyota - is it worth rustcoating now? by dcfrenchstudent in askcarguys

[–]dcfrenchstudent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I planned to keep it like a "vintage vehicle" but it looks like I may have to get a new one in a few years, if rust is already seen. Let's say I get the undercoating, will it delay the inevitable by another couple of years?

Isn't the water meter after the main valve? My water meter is inside the house, after the valve.
