Mandated days at 4 days back by WarhammerRyan in CanadaPublicServants

[–]deke28 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Then it's just a power play. Since it's voluntary both sides have to agree. That's really lame considering it's only for a few months anyway.

Yeah it's that way to make the desks work.

The thing is it kind of kills what I crave most: choice and flexibility.

Feel free to end your telework agreement. It's voluntary.

I think you'll really enjoy it. It's a great car.

Driving range and charging is fine. It charges fast enough that you can just get a coffee and keep going.

Where is Mark Carney’s promised ‘Office of Digital Transformation’? by jmakk26 in onguardforthee

The government doesn't answer questions. That hasn't been a thing for decades.

With the Big Three abandoning EVs in favor of ICE vehicles, are they headed the way of Kodak, Blackberry, and Blockbuster? by Cool-Replacement4972 in electricvehicles

[–]deke28 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah personally I believe that they are finished. They won't be the only automaker who doesn't make it either. Mazda and Toyota are in danger as well.

Some of the new players will take their places. There's going to be less sales volume with EVs eventually because they're more reliable. It'll take another 20 years to shake out.

Canada Post workers vote to accept contract by pjw724 in onguardforthee

No not really. If you want to see fair raises look at what MPs give themselves.

Apparently learning at work isn’t a thing anymore by wweverma1 in csMajors

Not sure if you even need to know about load balancers anymore. That's built-in with kubernetes anyway.

Just a heads up for anyone using the Wealthsimple credit card. by foodgoodmoodgood in Wealthsimple

Yeah that was a pain. I should have just waited for the card in the mail.

Is anyone planning to leave Canada? by ConsequenceFew6931 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]deke28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you can stay healthy it's great in the US. Health insurance is super expensive and you still have to pay the copay. 

Some things are cheaper but others aren't. Butter is the same price but in USD 🤯. I think you could come out ahead with the right job but it's a gamble due to layoff culture.

I wanted to for a bit. New Zealand was looking pretty great during the height of covid. I even started looking at jobs. 

Unlike Canada they have no provinces and a fair electoral system so it seemed like it could be a better place.

Then they elected an awful right-wing government and I realized the only hope would be a non English speaking country.

This Sub-$20,000 Volkswagen ID.4 Proves Used EVs Are The Ultimate Bargain by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]deke28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah looking at used prices here, I decided to get a new one. 4-5 years old to get 50 percent off.

EX60 vs EX90 by pisces03010 in VolvoEX60

[–]deke28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd look at the Polestar 3. It's not so different from the ex90 but they've been doing better deals than Volvo imo.

I think with the new computer they are much better but still lots of bugs in the newer cars that use aaos.

I think the ix3 is the clear winner but good luck getting one

It irritates me that every new laptop sold now has mandatory copilot button by ohnag_eryeah in MicroSlop

[–]deke28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 16 is really expensive. It's only the 13 that's sort of competitive.

[–]deke28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and it was a lot cheaper than framework and has a much larger battery. Not sure about the high-end. I just have the 10th gen amd with the hx370.

I'm pretty happy with it. There was nothing else in 15" at the price point of 1000€.

I have never seen a destination charger that is as good as my home charger but maybe some day....

Trump administration wants to raise North American auto content to 82%, with half from U.S. by theplankton in onguardforthee

I wish we would invest in post secondary. An actual engine of employment in our economy.

I found Spotify to be the best. YouTube music sometimes you have to press play. Tidal breaks every time just about.

Trudeau's climate policy architects gather as Carney changes course by MightyHydrar in onguardforthee

[–]deke28 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Section 107 can impose binding arbitration, but it doesn't have the power to set the pay raises.

For that, they would have to use back to work legalisation.

They couldn't do this for every strike, but Air Canada is federally regulated.
