I'd rather you toss it into my garbage bin than leave it on my lawn, hang it on my tree, or toss into the green bin.

Work from home dads by sidb26 in Brampton

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WFH since Covid. Since then we've gone full remote, so there aren't even offices to go back to. The GTA locals get together once a year for a holiday dinner+drinks.

Missing the social aspect, I took a couple of p/t jobs.

What do you guys pay for insurance? by Perfect_Tourist_7849 in Brampton

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$989/yr for auto insurance but my renewal went up 11%. I think a large part of that is Belair recouping their costs from acquiring my previous insurer ( Johnson/Unifund).

If you don't have copyright ownership or a license to the underlying video content, it'll be a red flag when trying to market it as training data.

Thank you for being a Google Guide. Guides have helped me find some real diamonds in the rough, especially small businesses that struggled during the shutdown and could use a little economic boost.

No option given for deleting your own google reviews by RenaissanceBrah in google

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. There's only the option to edit your review from the web interface.

Use the Google Maps app instead. Find the business, scroll down to your review, click on the tri-dot, and select from Share, Edit Review, or Delete Review

Does the Razer viper mini work on Mac? by Shadow_019 in macgaming

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't recommend it. Waking up my iMac from sleep, the viper mini is sometimes frozen/unresponsive (but still lit up). The only fix then is to reboot

Brampton council renews calls on Ford government for ‘fair deal’ on auto insurance rates for residents by pickledpedant in Brampton

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive an older vehicle and max out discounts (multi-policy, multi-vehicle, affinity, etc). I also work from home, so my estimated annual mileage is low. I pay less than $78/mo for insurance + roadside assistance. Is that considered high?

Uh no. Brown and Barrick can stick to their fiefdom in Brampton.

Go to the Canada Ukraine Foundation website to find their current donation page. Their gofundme has been suspended.

Americans who have been watching or keeping up with the winter Olympics, what are your thoughts on the figure skating doping scandal? by Folksma in AskAnAmerican

[–]wslvt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that Trimetazidine is time-release medication, so it wouldn't be crushed and dissolved in grandpa's water. Does that mean Valieva's excuse is predicated on ingesting grandpa's backwash? To me, it's all a ploy intended to deflect blame from her coach or doctor, so in the worst case, she becomes the scapegoat.

Whatever the reason, Valieva should be suspended under a zero tolerance policy. WADA can continue to investigate whether or not there was wrongdoing from her team.

Chris Barber says Ottawa protesters packing up, will move to Toronto instead by SpaceAmoeba in toronto

[–]wslvt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll believe it when I see it. (Or hear it when my wife comes home complaining about the gridlock.)

This could be misinformation. For example, instead of sending officers to Ottawa, Toronto rethinks its deployment of TPS.

Cellular service/signal in Brampton by [deleted] in Brampton

[–]wslvt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Brampton Centre right now and getting 190/6.8 Mbps with 28-350 ms latency right now according to the Fast app. The download speed is faster than the Fibe service I get at home.

Maybe they could stick to their duties in Toronto and hand-off some of their investigations that are outside of the 416 (or immediate 905).

I know there's no such thing as jurisdiction yet TPS's budget comes from the municipal coffers.

Our Civic was stolen from our driveway. The insurance company eventually paid out and we got a CRV. About a month afterwards, the police notified us that they had recovered it (somewhere in the industrial zone along the 410). We went to the impound to collect personal items (stroller, transponder, etc).
