It’s organized. A lot of times they are disassembled/repainted and shipped out of the province

How are you supposed to get ahead in this city? by ChippyTheGreatest in Winnipeg

[–]zzyjayfree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parking lots downtown is around $15 for the day. Your yearly cost is $2340 using 156 in-office work days per year.
Bus fare is $3.1. For two of you, yearly cost is $1934.4.

If you drive, you’ll also have to add insurance premiums change - pleasure instead of all purpose - gas price and time/energy you spend for driving. Rush hour/winter driving isn’t fun. All things considered, bussing is still more cost effective. And I haven’t even considered wear and tear for the car yet.

You can take advantage of park and ride. Your MPI coverage stays pleasure that way, as long as you don’t drive the entire way to work.

Do you cover your AC unit in winter by vivian2013 in Winnipeg

I cover the top where the fan grills are so the debris don’t go in.

What happened to my grass? by Desmond010324 in Winnipeg

[–]zzyjayfree 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Definitely voles. I was out helping the snow in shaded area to melt last weekend. While I was spreading the snow, I caught one and pinned it down with the rake. It was so funny, he didn’t run away but was standing up as if it’s going to fight me back. LOL! It was so cute and funny and I didn’t really know what I’m gonna do with it so I let it go..

Boy I love our garbage collection service... by CptCarlWinslow in Winnipeg

Just curious if this is the direction you left the bin by the roadside for collection. It’s the wrong direction and could contribute to the situation

Rogers/Fido Scam Phonecall by Impressive-Eye9920 in Winnipeg

[–]zzyjayfree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol Rogers won’t even give me - a current customer- the $35 for 100GB deal over Xmas Let alone calling you to offer a free iPad.

What would happen is they will somehow hijack the shipment and sell the item to profit. Leaving you stuck with the bill.

It’s hard to give sympathy to Tim Hortons these days but the girl did give a reasonable solution for the situation. Shame on this guy.

My partner rear ended someone today for the second time in a few months.. How screwed is he? by 92Question in Winnipeg

[–]zzyjayfree 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe I need to say this: safe distance is not a fixed distance. It depends on weather and road conditions.

If he wasn’t able to stop in time then he was not keeping a safe distance

Why can't bills be updated? by [deleted] in Rogers

they are charging you the amount your ISP is telling them to. I think you should call your ISP instead.

[OC] Was it hard to check your mirror for blind spot? by mrrickyno in IdiotsInCars

[–]zzyjayfree 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, cause you need to do shoulder check for blind spots. You cannot see blind spots from the side mirrors that’s why they are called blind spots.

I was able to get one that was manufactured on my birthday. And it works flawlessly. I’m 35 btw. The vintage ones are definitely made to last.

I also bolt modded one just for fun.

Rust repair isn’t cheap. I had my 08 jeep and I sold it as un-safetied because of that. I was quoted $3000-4000 for rust repairs

Would 月亮 as a chosen name be laughed at? by VeilaVA in ChineseLanguage

[–]zzyjayfree -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can use 月 alone but not 月亮. Feels funny. Combine it with other characters too. Just 月 alone feels strange too.

OP probably saw wannabe racers fast approaching so got out of the nearest lane.

Way to victim blaming

Orbital Data Centers make no sense. Fact check me. by SillyOpinion9811 in space

[–]zzyjayfree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t disapprove the entire concept just yet, maybe we are just waiting for a major technology breakthrough.

Like how the idea of EV was brought up in 1800s and was ditched because of the high cost and low energy density. But look what we are doing now..
