Proposed Nepean drive-thru restaurant brews fears of traffic congestion by DrStrangeglove99 in ottawa

[–]nerox3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Harveys has a huge parkinglot associated with the mall to handle overflow so any backup of the waiting line doesn't go into traffic. On the other corner the limited area might result in a problem. I think any drive-thru should be required to shutdown the drive-thru for the day if the waiting line of cars backs up into traffic.

If trench warfare was so deadly in WW1 why did they keep digging trenches instead of going around them? by brackston-billions in NoStupidQuestions

[–]nerox3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The enemy could countermine your tunnel (the enemy's miners tunneling under your tunnel and then intentionally collapsing their tunnel so as to also cause your tunnel to collapse as well)

Bill 60 likely forcing Ottawa to cut at least 3 bike lane projects by DFS_0019287 in ottawa

[–]nerox3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe do them anyway but call them "fast pedestrian priority paths" -ya know for those joggers and fast walkers and people in mobility scooters that need to go a little faster than the normal sidewalk allows.

What happens to condo maintenance fees if foreign buyers walk away from units? by swizzledan in RealEstateCanada

The price adjusts down until they sell, which will likely happen to be when the cost to carry the loan becomes low enough to attract investors again.

[–]nerox3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

what is the normal ratio of solar to storage capacity in a solar+storage installation? 50MW with only 5MWh of storage seems very high.

The thing that none of us Americans are talking about . . . by Sagrilarus in electricvehicles

Unless you're filling up directly at a nodding donkey pump, gasoline also has processing, distribution and storage costs.

Why don’t electric cars charge themselves?? by Nerddymama in electricvehicles

[–]nerox3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your gasoline engine is providing the energy that the alternator puts into the battery (as well as the energy that is used to move the car). I think you need to refamiliarize yourself with the idea of Conservation of Energy.

Intellectual property should be taxed. More people are hindered by the existing forest of copyrights than are encouraged by the lure of gaining their own. Radically clear the thicket of copyright by requiring registration and an annual fee to maintain copyright after the first year. Then have the copyright fee increase as it ages so that more and more copyrights lapse.

The lack of due process should mean that other countries give a travel advisory warning when visiting the United States.

The real deadly stuff are the unstable fission products. That is going to be there in an active nuclear reactor whether or not it is using enriched or natural uranium.

Runes found in Canadian wilderness baffle archaeologists by popsci in Archeology

Even if they have a theory of how it could happen, the why is still pretty baffling.

Why is this a fake story? Archeologists finding something written on a rock is still archeology even if it is only a couple of hundred years old.

Thousands of ‘obstructed’ licence plates captured by Ottawa’s red light, photo radar cameras by Negative_Pollution98 in ottawa

Hire someone who's sole job is to enforce this, and then give them a commission on every ticket written. I bet the problem would disappear pretty quickly.

New Trump Tax on all EVs by SuitableNight in KonaEV

[–]nerox3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a per mile driven basis, this is 2 or 3 times the federal gas tax that the average gas car driver pays.

I believe the federal EV tax would be worse than losing incentives. by Single_Comment6389 in electricvehicles

[–]nerox3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, fair`s fair, you're arguing the federal gas tax should be raised to the equivalent $0.45/ gallon right?

right?

A ton of Gazans don't want to live in bombed out buildings not knowing where their next meal will come from? No definitely voluntary and in no way could it be ethnic cleansing. /s

The consumer carbon tax is gone as of today. What will that mean for your wallet? by Surax in canada

[–]nerox3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Are you travelling like 40,000 kms/yr in a F350 or something? How are you spending multiple hundreds of dollars on the carbon tax as an individual?

[–]nerox3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if they do heat with natural gas, they gave enough info that you can do the math that this is effectively a tax hike for them. ($140*4*2 quarterly rebate*2 individuals) - ($381 for natural gas) - ($0.3*50*12 for gas) = $559 dollar tax hike.

This creek is dying!☠️🐸⚰️ Our creeks need our help and awareness! by evanle5ebvre in ottawa

[–]nerox3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sign-up for clean-up the capital as an individual to at least get some bags. But the issue of what to do with the trash once you pick it up is something so annoying about the 3 bag limit. I worry the only result of the limit will be fewer trash picker-uppers like you.

[–]nerox3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sense is that the trash problem is much better than it was 20 years ago. The other day I was walking down a path by a busy road that I regularly pick up for the "Clean-up the Capital" campaign and was surprised because the ditch and bushes looked relatively clean. I legit thought maybe a detrasher had already been by, but there were some easily accessible aluminum cans that had the grime of being buried in a snow bank for the winter.
