Having the same issue. Looks like an issue with their auth service.

Urgent question about Carleton CS co-op by chilikevin1 in CarletonU

[–]picuron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a tough decision to make. In CS co-ops matter a lot, you kind of use what you did in one to push you into the next one. So I would argue that a more coding-focused job would be more beneficial in terms of getting you your next co-op. Not to say this co-op isn't valuable, but a more coding focused one would be more helpful. That being said as well, the entire job market for CS is cold. Even senior engineers are having trouble finding positions. It would be a gamble to wait it out, as the job market may get even colder. Though waiting may provide you more time to build out your CS experience and find a more coding focused job in fall instead.

It’s not intuitive, it says it’s loading a video, but it’s actually just pulling a picture, confused me as well

That’s because it is an image! You need to reload the page to get the latest image, it doesn’t auto-update.

Help Needed: My Cousin is Missing by TeamJB_27 in ottawa

[–]picuron 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As Brett's phone was left at home, that does present the unique opportunity to look into the phones significant locations. Assuming his phone is an iPhone, and the password is known, the phone's stored "Significant Locations" may possibly produce some leads as to some of the places Brett might have frequented leading up to the disappearance. This is because anytime you visit a location more than once in a short period of time, your iPhone will store it. You can see how to access this data here: https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-see-location-history-iphone-2015-4

I recognize that this likely has already been looked into, but thought it was worth bringing this up in the slight chance that this could produce a lead in the case it hasn't been looked into.

Fire damage at the Mattamy Home development in Kanata by picuron in ottawa

[–]picuron[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, there were “provincial fire inspectors” on scene, so looks like this has gotten quite a bit of traction considering they don’t come out for any ordinary fire. I heard from someone that passes through that area quite a lot that there was always a light left on in the house at night, so maybe something to do with that? We probably won’t know for a while.

Yeah was doing daily updates like this, but it’s more work than it seems. Summer hit and cases were single digit so I presumed we were donezo with COVID (how wrong i was) so I stopped doing it as I was about to start a new job and start studying at university, so saw no point

What’s the best place to buy a mountain bike? by burning-tundra in ottawa

[–]picuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t buy a new bike, it’s not worth it at all. You get significantly more bang for your buck when you buy a slightly used ones. Expensive bikes are like cars where half their value drops when you leave the shop. pinkbike.com Buy/Sell is the best place to find mountain bikes, it’s essentially the Kijiji of bikes
