Can you imagine being the person behind him? You pay so much for tickets and are looking forward to the concert and you have to look past that jagoff for the whole show? Boo.

A kid in the parking lot at swimming lessons this morning. "Ewwww. There's another one. There are two cybertrucks here." I don't think that was the reaction people that paid 100K were hoping for.

While net worth is probably a decent metric to assess need, afaik the government has no idea what it is for most citizens. It's also grey and complicated. If a company is owned by a family trust and all members of the family are trustees, how does the value of that company get apportioned...

Shorter shpuld be easy to solve.

I can't find total comp. It's not in the interest of the union to shine light on it as they want to cry poor on hourly rate and push for more. CP management doesn't want light on anything as it would prove their incompetence. It looks like CP contributes at least 10-14% of your income to your...

Those shouldn't have happened either. It is different though as government had no obligation to bail them out. That was a choice politicians made. I suspect bailing out CP will be unavoidable. Also, a bailout only makes sense if the entity learns from their mistakes and reorganizes to something...

They can aim for the polka dots on his socks.

If they hit you in the side, regardless of the vehicle, you are in very bad shape. Airbags help but there just isn't much room to accelerate your head. VW normally holds up quite well in crashes. If you want to feel vulnerable, try the mini. No airbags, no structure, no weight, no crumple zones...

Just what I have found. While employees often focus on hourly rate, employers focus on total comp as that's what they have to pay. Expensive benefits like a defined benefit pension drive up the hourly cost substantially but don't show up in the employees hourly rate that they think they are...

Total comp or salary? From what I have seen, salary is higher but I haven't seen a good analysis of total comp. Defined benefit pension plan is very expensive are rarely offered in private industry.

To answer your question, obviously not really but the HP is also for an entirely different purpose. The cummins is designed to work and can put out rated power up a long incline. The pickup is a duck measuring contest and if you kept it wide open for a few minutes I expect it to get very...

1) Hourly isn't everything especially in government union jobs. Total comp is what the employer feels and is much much higher than shows on your deposit (often close to double). In private sector, non-union jobs, total comp is more like 25% above hourly. Now, as with most government departments...

Maybe not on a cash flow basis but when CP can no longer get more credit and the hole is 10B+, guess who's going to write that cheque?

Dodge. Not much above prius drivers. I wonder what happens with insurance when you hit a train? No fault doesn't apply to the train so the car drivers insurance picks up that bill too? https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/grand-river-transit-lrt-involved-in-kitchener-crash-1.7118394 "The 31-year-old...

Yeah. Definitely puts a clock on things. Right now it's sitting full as I don't know if I am replacing the module including heater or the board (depends on what I can find and pricing). Draining a tub sufficiently to survive a deep freeze is a pain and I'd rather not do it. Water in was...

Third quarter numbers out. Loss 10% higher than last year. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/11/22/canada-post-financial-results-q3/

Well frig. This wasn't on the list. Last night lights were out on the hottub so I checked it and it was dead. Breakers seemed ok. Opened it up today and the expensive control box has had an internal fire. Great. @Mikedezo44 do you have a BFBP20 or 65-2035 (or precursor) for sale?

Ha. Registration. He should join the military. Team human shield or weapons testing seems like roles he is well suited for.

A 240hp 454 with no crumple zones, airbags, impact bumper, a/c, turbos, etc. All of this crap that is required and/or expected uses up a ton of space.

I understand that logic. Given that what you get is completely unsustainable, what is your idea to fix it? One way is new people get a sustainable rate and as old people leave, viability improves. Another way is everyone takes a cut to solve viability now. Option three is bring in more money...
