Not sure if this is in your realm or not, but I’m working on a diversion tunnel for a dam and we’re installing orifice pieces of varying internal diameter to slow the flow rate of the water. The orifices are being installed in order from smallest diameter to largest which seems counterintuitive to me. I would think you would go in descending diameter size to slowly restrict the flow in steps. Could you shed any light on why this would be engineered this way?
I think it started last week when my posts were not getting any upvotes at all. Then I posted a reddit link into incognito window and yep, my post appears as deleted. Probably because I was promoting kbin.social in some of the subreddits. F**kers. I accumulated 150K comment karma over the last 15 years....
What responsibility do Canadian airlines have to passengers as the summer travel season gets in full swing? What are your rights as a traveller? Here's what you need to know.
I work up north where it’s cold as fuck, company flys me in and out. On one travel day heading home somebody at air Canada forgot to plug the plane in after it’s final flight from the day before. I guess with what was drawing power and the frigid temperatures the battery(s) were no longer good to go for my flight. So their plan was to send a mechanic up from Vancouver with new battery(s) and get us in our way. They got halfway to us and realized they didn’t put the replacement battery(s) on the flight. So they had to turn around and get them and come back up. This caused me to miss my connection and the next one they could get me on was the next day. I submitted a claim since everything was 100% within their control. They denied it. So I replied to them with everything that happened, and told them to pay up or I was submitting a a claim with the CTA. They sent me a direct deposit for $1000 and and apology.
Looking for recommendations on coffee makers. Preferably a drip coffee maker. I’ve been using a percolator for years and while it usually works fine, it doesn’t always brew thoroughly if the water isn’t cold enough.
It’s written by a university professor with a doctorate in clinical psychology who is activity involved with the subject at hand. But fuck the natpo right?
Yes. I’ll take the word of the man with a doctorate studying the topic at hand putting his reputation on the line versus an anonymous source saying they’re wrong. Or can we only trust the ones whose views aline with our own regardless of substance?
Of course, and the authors of the pro safe supply papers Dr. Somers cited as well. Which seemed to show that the current data didn’t support safe supply.
Maybe it’ll get bastardized like Squamish or Tsawwassen? ƛ̓éxətəm and it’s anglicized pronunciation are going to be a hard sell for the general population.
Dude never apologize for an educated informative rant like that. I wasn’t familiar with the different orthographies before, now I’ve learned something new so thank you. And I absolutely agree with the points you made even more so now that I know a little more.
