Someone is about to get a wicked fine for not making sure that the railing and walking surface was not bonded.

There’s a queuing area at the bottom of that ride with railing and when they made contact with that, that’s where the incident occurred for a brief time

There is a whole chapter of the Canadian Electrical Code dedicated to pools, tubs, and spas. And I would put my money on 68-058 1)

The metal parts of the pool and of other non-electrical equipment associated with the pool, such as piping, pool reinforcing steel, ladders, diving board supports, and conductive infrastructure within 1.5 m of the pool, shall be bonded together and to non-current-carrying metal parts of electrical equipment such as decorative-type pool luminaires and lighting equipment not located in a forming shell, forming shells, metal screens of shields for underwater speakers, conduit, junction boxes, and the like by a copper bonding conductor.

While everything may have been bonded at the time of construction, water corrodes metal, particularly when there is current flowing though it due to moisture.

Charge the parents. These parents created this kid and whatever fucked up problems that lead to this.

We still have cell phone plans with limited numbers of sms/mms messages and limited call time. Canada is a backwater for technology.

Is that a pop poking its head over the horizon?

It would be cool if all out politicians weren’t picked from a pool of rich old men who are involved in industries that have an interest in dictating Canadian politics.

I’m on the edge of Hamilton, Ontario so despite being in the burbs I’m way closer to farmland than the city, and internet plans reflect that.

I would love to choose a faster plan but the 3 times a month that I would actually use a full 1000Mib/s down don’t justify the extra $400-$500 a year on top of ~700 I already pay. I can better spend that on storage, memory, and media.

It’s almost like there is ONE kind of person who wants to be a cop no matter where you are in America.

They have “promo” pricing for the first year but this is the base price. For a promo price of 70 bucks I can get 1000/30 but that means having to switch ISPs every year, some of which do not like users operating servers on home connections.

I actually checked the ISPs in my area a week ago to see if there was any better deals and after the first year I’m still on the cheapest usable plan.

See if you can find a plan for under 70 bucks regular price not the 1 year promo price. This is the cheapest internet connection in my area that does not require me to switch ISPs every fucking year.

Im using Teksavvy, it’s about $65 bucks for 40/10 dsl, no bandwidth limit, for the past 7 years. It’s not fast, it’s not cheap, but they don’t block incoming, and they don’t change the price. It’s worth it to not have to deal with bell or rogers.

Oh boy, a whole 4 million. Hey didn’t Canada dump more than 20 billion into oil and gas last year?

To be fair, no one asked for businesses to pump billions into the crypto-bros who had piles of GPUs laying around after their first grift fell through.

And stop trying to 1984 the internet.

i know people like this. they don’t have a clue how terrible AI is for everything

They’re called management.

Canada was created to, and will always be, an economic machine to extract resources and labour from North America.

I was never trained on the operation of that machine.

Have you met middle management? I’d take an LLM running on a Core 2 Duo over the decision making skills of someone who thinks an A3 sheet of paper can solve every problem.

LLMs can not replace actual productive humans but I will not shed a single tear if they wipe out the e-mail spamming, bean counting, micro-managing twits, who desperately want “AI” to improve their “workforce.”

Creating tons of needless ewaste and forcing users to re-buy otherwise working devices.

Chinese law mandates that Chinese auto manufactures participate in international espionage, collect and and all data required by the Chinese administration and to not admit to any of it for any reason

The US government can compel US automakers hand over data but they can’t compel them to collect specific data or to track an individual in Canada.

China is an adversarial nation, they have interfered in Canadian elections, they installed secret police in Canada, they take Canadians hostage when we refuse to comply with their demands. It’s incredible that we have basically put all of our manufacturing eggs in the basket of a man with a penchant for extorting and murdering his neighbours.

They can correlate data from many cars to track a person who does not own or use a Chinese car. When you have 100k war drivers you look for a particular mac address being pinged over and over by your fleet.

So you get close to your target at some social or diplomatic event, record all the macs you see then look for them to show up on your war driving fleet’s logs. Each car will only collect a few MB of data per day, so little that it won’t be significant compared to normal useage.
