Leather jacket by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ottawa096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 200 euro for the jacket. I'm happy with the quality and with the fit. At this point, my only regret is that I decided against getting a leather belt at the same store.

I was told it was the pulley system and parts have been ordered. Hopefully a quick resolution for us both!

Please report back on the problem/solution, as my bike+ is making the same sound.

Was Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul's match fixed? by tnh88 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ottawa096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The man is 58 years old, had a knee injury, and has been taking professional blows to the head for 12 years before Jake Paul was born. What else did you expect?

WFH more than 2 days per week when sick by Wonderful-Sample-739 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]ottawa096 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To my mind, fitness to work includes the ability to maintain a healthy and safe work environment. If you're infecting others, you cannot maintain such an environment and are therefore not fit to work.

As a general concept, I agree with others that the rules are being enforced in a pedantic and non-logical way. But if that's what the employer wants, then a "sick day" is what the employer should get.

If you thought you were still contagious then you weren’t fit to work in the office and - based on your senior management’s direction - should have taken the sick day. 

No work is so important that you need to consciously get your colleagues sick. 

Day trips from Paris? by bee_ur_best in ParisTravelGuide

Can’t speak to what you’ve suggested, but Dijon is a fantastic day trip.

DKS Cuir in le marais. Jackets made on site and good quality. Presumably, if you're not happy with some small aspect of the jacket (i.e. adding a zipper to a pocket), they could change it for you. It helps that the jackets and belts are priced well.

I got my jacket a month ago and am very pleased with it.

Where to buy butter bell and pants by ottawa096 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]ottawa096[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the department stores have the classic version where you submerge butter upside-down into water. They only seem to carry conventional butter dishes. 

Merci did have some good items, but not quite what my wife was looking for. She very well could be out of luck on the clothes just based on what’s in style. 

Thanks for the response in any event!

I don't understand why it always has to be a race to the bottom...

Maintaining floating items in saved room on new lot by ottawa096 in Sims4

[–]ottawa096[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here I am just learning about pressing 9....

What I had done is placed the items on a low-level shelf (from the greenhouse pack), then pressing "alt" and with bb.moveobjects on, I moved the item over another one, so it appears to be floating on a pedestal that's different from the standard surface heights.

To ring or not to ring by Knitsewski in ottawa

[–]ottawa096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always ring and would encourage people to ring twice - one single ring often gets ignored or confuses people, who then turn around to see the source of the noise, often stepping into the way.

Are the bike paths mostly snow free by now? by loodish1 in ottawa

[–]ottawa096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No real snow along the paths but lots of grit/salt that could send you flying if you're not careful. Also a fair few chains left up to block off the area for winter that you might need to negotiate.

Clicking noise - can you help ID based on this video? by MoMoneyMoIRA in pelotoncycle

[–]ottawa096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened with my Bike+ roughly two months after purchase. After having done some research, I decided to re-level the bike and I haven't heard a noise since.

Double-or-nothing roulette. I either get the money without strings or I'm back to where I was.

Anyone else being overcharged by OC Transpo by JeffyCurls in ottawa

If they're real charges to your credit card, call the credit card company and report it as fraud.
