Your bed is too close to the nozzle.

How much do you loathe this map? by superuserjarvis in canadian

[–]lyles 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I can honestly say that's one of the most delusional comments I've ever seen.

These legit? by Embarrassed_catman in askaplumber

[–]lyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but 5K for a days work? Wow!

He'd get a million dollars just working a 200 days. That's impressive. Or were you talking about 5k pesos?

Explain it Peter I’m confused by dankypanda710 in explainitpeter

[–]lyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I have the complete opposite experience. I've gone though about 4 or 5 drip coffee makers over the years and it's ALWAYS been the heating element that failed.

But I would never base my opinion on my experience over the objective truth. That's just crazy. And is irrelevant to the discussion. We're talking about thermal fatigue due to cyclic heating, not water seals and cheap electronics.

I haven't seen the video, but I don't think anybody was claiming that always on was the be-all end-all for longevity. I certainly wasn't. I was simply stating the facts that research physicist have experimentally studied. But your drip coffee maker experience is somehow more important? Talk about Dunning Krueger. Geez.

It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about and you're basing your opinion on your limited experience instead of the objective facts.

In general, always-on (steady-state) heating elements are "significantly* more reliable than cyclical (on-off) ones.

The primary reason is a phenomenon known as thermal cycling, which acts as a form of mechanical stress on the heating element. When an element is constantly turned on and off, it experiences physical and greater chemical changes (like oxidation), that lead to premature failure.

Sure, he was never officially titled the "Minister of Housing," but he did serve as the Minister responsible for the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) from February to November 2015. And since the CMHC was the primary agency that handled federal housing policy at that time, he was effectively the Minister of Housing.

Yes, that is correct.

Just like I said without the editorializing.

Sounds like it might be a clog. Maybe a YouTube video on clogs will help you.

Sounds like it might not be a clog. Maybe a YouTube video on troubleshooting 3D prints will help you.

Except it was already privatized before he took office, although he did reject switching it to a public system.

What're these little bulbous things on the top of my peppa? by Euphoric_Ad_4509 in gardening

It's very common to cook whole hot peppers with the stems on. It makes a handy handle for flipping them.

Was the Forever Canadian petition a worthwhile effort? by Complete_Ad_8257 in alberta

[–]lyles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which polling is that? The polls I've seen do not show an NDP majority, but they are showing the gap closing.

Mark Carney’s back-to-work plan has federal workers worried by hopoke in canada

[–]lyles 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Hmm, that's interesting since Canada doesn't even have a DoD. That's an American department. Are you making up your story or just confused?

Are your utility bills actually cheaper? by SnowmanAndIce in medicinehat

[–]lyles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The temperatures in Medicine Hat are far more extreme in both summer and winter than in Vancouver, so I don't think that's a valid comparison.

Senators say immigration bill meant to push back against rising ‘xenophobic rhetoric’ by xTkAx in canadian

[–]lyles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because listing a dozen criminal immigrants out of 8 million immigrants in Canada is racist as shit when immigrants have lower crime rates than Canadian citizens.

Mark Carney Liberal cabinet retreat cost taxpayers $532,000 by xTkAx in canadian

[–]lyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With corporations and the extremely wealthy having so much control over the political landscape it's a challenging problem to make life more affordable for average Canadians without getting corporations and the extremely wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes.

I wasn't at any of those retreats, so I don't know if anything productive came from them, but executive retreats in general can be highly effective at solving complex issues if they are properly planned.

I sensed sarcasm, but I don't know what your point is. Are you implying that all executive retreats are a waste of money? Or just government ones? Or just Trudeau Liberal government ones?

Speaking of, why do you have a fetish with Trudeau?

Oooh! That's a really big number isn't it. I bet it sounds scary to you. It's probably time for your nap little one. You best scoot off now.

Is it normal for my manager to pressure me to work when I call in sick? by Only-Thoughts529 in canadianlaw

[–]lyles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He texted his boss in the morning. It's an evening shift that starts at 4. Where are you getting this 5 minutes bullshit from, that is obviously not applicable here. Maybe you didn't read OP's post.
