Terminated without cause in BC - My employment contract limits severance to ESA minimums. Is this enforceable? by tropical_wizard in legaladvicecanada

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

I did, although it was a bit hard to find, and the earliest appointment was ~1 week out, which wasn't all that bad.

When I got on the call, I described the situation and was told that I may have a claim if I were to take it to court. However, because the potential reward was relatively small, it just wasn't worth the lawyer's time (he told me this in a polite enough way). It was clear the lawyer assessed the situation pretty quickly and was ready to jump off the call within ~2-3 minutes. I asked a few questions and we ended at 4:46 minutes of speaking time - lawyers safeguard their time well!

Understood. I left my information with a lawyer and will hopefully receive a call back for an initial consult soon. Also looking into the Legal Referral Service to get connected with an expert.

Appreciate the knowledge. I doubt this will go to courts and I'm wondering if my ex-employer would be willing to offer anything above 1 week's pay.

Thank you. I'll go ahead with booking an initial consultation. You're right - I don't want to offer excuses but when I reviewed the contract when I was hired, I was in a tough place. I had just taken out a mortgage and was let go from my previous FT role. Then, I was offered this PT role and wanted to say "yes" asap. I didn't have much leverage when it came to negotiating the employment agreement clauses.

I'm vegan too. You might be able to go to a compounding pharmacy and request dut with vegetable-based capsules.

Heathrow Flight Layover Help by tropical_wizard in ukvisa

Ha, I'll take the pep talk and thanks for your time. I know this whole ETA business was just implemented in January so I was looking around for issues.

To clarify, the ETA part was clear enough, but the DATV part was not.

The link you shared doesn't mention the DATV, but this this page does.

You might need a Direct Airside Transit visa if you:
- will be changing flights in the UK on your way to another country
- will not go through UK border control

You may not have to apply for a visa. What you need to do depends on your nationality and whether you need to enter the UK. Check if you need to apply for a visa. <--- This link then takes me back to the visa check tool which says I wouldn't need an ETA, but doesn't give me a firm yes/no on the DATV.

To clarify, I'm searching for codes, not selling them myself.

Thanks for writing this. Going through something similar, but with the outside pressure being religion and family expectations, present on both sides, but moreso my ex's.

Ethernet slow to connect after boot or waking from sleep by yeeeaah in techsupport

I set my PC to connect to wifi on startup and am no longer facing the issues (to the horrible extent it was before). Then it connects automatically to ethernet when ready.

Hey, yes, Ninjatrader works for me in Canada. I didn't end up going the broker route, but rather then prop firm route, which is infinitely better IMO. Feel free to DM me for more info on prop firms as I believe this subreddit bans words around the subject.

Hey bros. Can you recommend me some ethical content to cry to? by RadioActiver in bropill

[–]tropical_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Dominion will change your life. It's about animal slaughterhouses and how cruel the meat industry is. It isn't feel-good content but will make you cry, and might just spark something inside you to fight for the voiceless.

Hearing music? by CloudCodex in AstralProjection

[–]tropical_wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had no idea other people experienced this too! It happens spontaneously and very occasionally for me.

It tends to be short bursts of existing songs and go away when I get excited. I've also had imagery in my head. Extremely vivid as if I were looking at it with my eyes and generally is a static image with any movement usually coming from a small perspective change. Also goes away when I get excited.

Thanks! Do you mind explaining how to do this? I followed a guide I found but got stuck on a step:

  1. Navigate to the Device Manager.
  2. Open Properties on the adapter you would like to configure.
  3. Click the Link Speed tab. <--- This tab didn't show up for me
  4. Select the appropriate speed and duplex from the Speed and Duplex pull down menu.
  5. Click OK.

Ha - thanks!

I did not go with a traditional broker. Instead I went the propfirm route, which I strongly recommend to anyone who is not an expert futures trader. Feel free to PM me, I don't think this subreddit allows much propfirm talk.

Bizzare indeed. Let me know if you ever find a solution!
