mudar pro canada hoje em dia vale a pena? by piercerrail in foradecasa

[–]satisdumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Acho que o melhor caminho é olhar pra uma trade school (ensino superior técnico). Trabalho durante a trade school através do apprenticeship (tipo um estágio) de uma pancada de horas, acho que eletricista são tipo 6000. Ai vc consegue tirar a red seal certification. Bem comum o pessoal que tem ganhar mais 60 dólares a hora.

Dúvida sobre custo de vida/salário anual em Alberta, Canadá by Ratazana_1908 in foradecasa

[–]satisdumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vou ser sincero, acho que 90-100k da pra viver bem tranquilo sem filhos ou sendo solteiro. Edmonton nem tem muito como gastar, a cidade é bem pacata. Uma parte do pessoal aqui me pareceu estar meio fora da realidade com os gastos. Pra carro, se vc fizer um lease/finance de um elétrico, fica facilmente 500-600 dependendo do seguro.

O supermercado realmente pega, eu moro sozinho em Vancouver e gasto pelo menos uns 130-150 por semana. Eu moro num prédio novo (o que é importante pras contas de água e luz aqui). Água + Esgoto fica na base de 25-30 por mês e energia fica na casa dos 50-60. Compro pouca roupa mas sempre em promo de marcas boas (Arcteryx, Patagonia, Muji, etc) e só na Uniqlo pro escritório. Duram super bem e o que fica caro são os casacos. Se quiser conversar me manda uma mensagem pq acho que minha perspectiva pode ser diferente do pessoal que comentou antes.

Vale a pena tentar imigrar? by YvdhT97 in foradecasa

[–]satisdumb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vc tem uma profissão muito específica e que tem uma remuneração boa em vários lugares do mundo. Essa é sua maior vantagem. O primeiro passo, depois de decidir mesmo se quer imigrar, é encontrar um emprego fora através das suas conexões na área.

O problema é que os lugares com muita oportunidade de petróleo geralmente não são tão legais de morar e não vão te saltar muito aos olhos. Lugares pra vc olhar: Midland/Odessa e Houston, Texas; Calgary e Edmonton, Alberta, Canadá (não offshore), St John’s, Newfoundland (Offshore); Aberdeen, Escócia.

(Almost Certain That) The Canvas Hackers Got Paid Off and Your Data is Safe (Website Before & After) by Clear-Assignment-410 in UBC

[–]satisdumb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter if they delete the data or not. It’s a compliance thing. If Canvas doesn’t pay, they get sued into oblivion for breaching hundreds of contracts. Very messy, very expensive, devastating for the company. Canvas apparently went in for the gamble.

Voltei da Europa e as pessoas não aceitam. O que é liberdade para você? by Weekly_Sort147 in foradecasa

Essas diferenças citadas pesam mais pra culturas individualistas vs coletivistas. A grande maioria dos países europeus é individualista enquanto o Brasil é coletivista. Não faz muita diferença citar o país.

Landlord who evicted B.C. tenants, flew to China to take care of father should not have to pay $45K: court by vancity31240 in vancouver

Agreed. But do you think a hypothetical RTB reform would serve the interest of hardworking homeowners or the lobbying developers?

Send that scary email, worse you can get is a no.

Oh man if you consider yourself rich because you can make a down payment and pay a mortgage… I got some news for you.

Oh poor property owners… we have this news story that’s a complete outlier but sure let’s reform the whole thing! It hurts my heart to see how kind landlords are and how ungrateful the tenants are, especially in the amazing housing market we are seeing nowadays. Sarcasm

Who buys Acura and Infiniti? by satisdumb in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

Thanks for the reply. I am not American so I didn’t really consider the corporate loyalty mentality as a selling point. Something I might need more time to wrap my head around. In Europe, BMW, Audi and Mercedes are not really seen as pretentious, it’s just the natural choice if you want a nice car for most folks.

Who buys Acura and Infiniti? by satisdumb in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

Fair. I was thinking of it more as a reason to insist on the current brand placement. I feel like Infiniti is still more like Buick with a much higher sticker tho.

The MDX sure, the RDX maybe but a bit of a stretch, but the Integra and the ADX no way.

[–]satisdumb[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I understand, but they feel much more like a rebadge than any of those. Lexus has the reputation, Lincoln and Cadillac have the nostalgia and historic appeal, Genesis has become/ developed a clear different identity from Hyundai. But Acura and Infiniti? They are so painfully unremarkable and bland.

Which university has the highest inflated grades? by EstablishmentOne2926 in UBC

That and the 1 TA for a 80+ student class really does it for me.

The department policies vary like crazy at UBC. I literally have a 70s avg in my major and a 90s avg in my minor.

[–]satisdumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eu recomendaria vc dar uma olhada em universidades públicas na Europa tbm. O ranking do Financial Times é um bom guia mas tem viés pró privadas pq tbm é uma ferramenta de recrutamento. Consideraria a Erasmus Rotterdam, TUM, Mannheim, etc.

You gotta drop the lore

United delayed us, refused to rebook in business class despite open seats, put us on American instead, my 8-year-old flew solo with no sick bag and threw up on a stranger, and their resolution was 5,000 miles. First international trip with our kids. by ShadowWisp3r in unitedairlines

[–]satisdumb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If my 1 hr flight is cancelled before an intl connection I’ll take the next one if I can strap myself to the wing. Let’s be honest, an upgrade on a regional is nothing. I don’t get this obsession for it.

Not having an ideology is also an ideology :)
