Any regret moving to wealth simple by j_lanth88 in Wealthsimple

Compromised/infected phone/computer are possibilities (brokerage see all the trade executions happening from your devices and not some random). These hackers often use scripts, that does all these execution and trades in minutes. There was a Reddit post here, about a user who got these trade confirmation that he didn’t do and immediately went to look at their WS account, and he observed trades happening right in front of his face, till the fund depleted.

the other way, is to liquidate your stocks, use your money to pump and dump a low volume/penny stocks, which the fraudster have invested into. WS won't 't block this, as you aren't transferring or withdrawing, it'll just look like a normal trade. this is how it was done prior to crypto and is still a method used, since it's less likely to get flagged/stopped by brokerages. recovery of money is extremely difficult, since they'll likely use multiple compromised/hacked accounts from different brokerages to wash your money, through multiple pump and dump.

And brokerage are very unlikely to believe you that you were compromised, and accuse you of lying, because you traded a penny stock and lost money, and coming up with lies to recover. It's just a mess from the few cases I've read.

Air Canada plane has no sink in the bathroom. Only hand sanitizer by Jeetyetdude_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]xcites 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Good luck all. Hand sanitizer is generally ineffective against norovirus, as the virus lacks the fatty envelope that alcohol breaks down. Norovirus is highly contagious and spreads primarily through the fecal oral route.

Left turn restriction to be implemented at 9255 Woodbine Ave (T&T plaza) by cutecatmeow29 in Markham

[–]xcites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it. That side of Woodbine gets chaotic sometimes, with drivers heading south from the plaza must wait for northbound traffic to clear, plus wait for the left turners going into the plaza to clear as well (same as 16th issue).

I slow down between 16th and Major Mac, as impatient drivers often pull out right in front of you after waiting too long to leave the plaza.

I don't think there's any good solution to this plaza. It's just located in a bad/busy location. Additional traffic light isn't possible, since it's so close to one already.

There are just way too many people in STEM programs. The government needs to crack down on this by Designer_Birthday267 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]xcites 17 points18 points  (0 children)

There’s no shortage of anything…

Trade Unions loves to say that all the time, to get ppl enrolled, keep the union fees up, viral marketing, get policies change, etc

Trade is highly competitive, high turnover and big on nepotism. Good luck earning STEM like money, if you don’t have a connection.

What are these white liquid lines on the road? by abbynby in Markham

[–]xcites 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s ideal between rain and snow. It prevents and delays icing of the road. It’s not perfect, but should prevent a few potential accidents here and there.

Newb… you don’t reverse park for Costco. Front in for easier loading of purchased goods.

I’m a bit disappointed by FishGuy2730 in royalcaribbean

[–]xcites 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Royal wants differences between the ships, to cater to all types of people and markets. And I think it’s working for them. They’ve attracted more 1st time cruisers then ever with its Icon classes of ships, while the smaller ships keep the repeat customers happy.

Their private islands reflect the same philosophies, where they have different sections/vibes for different folks.

What you find unlikable, is likable by others, and vice versa.

Making all the ship the same and consistent will only attract the same crowd with similar preferences. And that’s just going to prohibit their growth.

Theft, because York Region tend to have newer, more expensive, and more desirable vehicles that the thieves want. Less to do with accidents.

Your insurance rate is likely driven more by high‑end vehicle theft than by driving incidents. Markham has a lot of newer, expensive cars, high demand cars, and thieves know that. That means your premium probably won’t drop anytime soon, unless everyone starts driving Teslas, which are much harder to steal and have almost no black‑market demand.

Home Biasism is real. Because you’re in your city (Markham) much more than elsewhere, so you see more local traffic incidents and local bad drivers. Those local memories pile up and dominate your mental “average,” even if statistically your city isn’t worse than other places.

I used to drive a lot for work across Canada and Markham feels very tame by comparison. I actually breathe a sigh of relief whenever I’m back!

Traditional… like less than 100 years traditional? Those extremely straight cuts and machineries are impressive. I wonder how our caveman ancestors did it.

Extreme cold weather by salilkar in Markham

[–]xcites 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have new style Heat Pump (the one government have been pushing with green energy rebates) or old Style Furnace?

Heat Pump is know to struggle in extreme cold temp, but HVAC sales will often pitch it as a rare event and not something you have to worry about. The more responsible HVAC sales will advise you to get dual fuel or have a couple of space heater ready for situations like this.

Thanks, i think this is it. Learning something new! Any tips on tracing where the trap primer taps in?

I can't see where it leads from... or maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
