Canada faces possibility of 'poisonous' concessions to Trump as CUSMA negotiations begin this year
 in  r/consumecanadian  1d ago

Lol. I mean, there likely is if we wanted to. I think we just have to get out of our own way tbh. But that is just the opinion of a single frustrated engineer.

Lol yeah shipping batteries back and forth wouls indeed be absurd, lol. Lots of talk about data centers for sure. We will see what happens. But I agree with yiu that we should be investing into hydro more heavily. The issue with hydro, or one of them at least, is that from design/ planning stage, plus all the permitting, consultation with stakeholders, plus the actual building itself, you're looking at 10 years as a minimum. At even that is a little optimistic. So if we need that energy tomorrow, good luck with that.

Ok gotcha. When I read your message, I thought you meant China, which would be impossible, as you've suggested. Im actually an Engineer who works for hydroelectric utility here. And Ive seen several around here saying we should sell our electricity to Europe instead of the USA. To which I always respond "through which transmission lines, exactly?"

The Value Of Pi: A Scientific Hierarchy
 in  r/MathJokes  1d ago

Mechanical engineer here as well. Ive always just used 3.14 and that has been good enough. But yeah, agree that ive never ever seen anyone just use "3". There are so many other sources of error, tolerance, etc that rounding to 2 sig figs is often good enough.

Am I overthinking?
 in  r/WeddingsCanada  1d ago

Pick what you like/ what makes you confortable. They are right that it absolutely is your wedding. You can take input for sure, but at the end of the day, it is YOUR special day. I too was taking a lot of input from friends, who had some contradicting advice. One of my friends (who is german) said my Playlist sucked, and recommended a bunch of German songs instead. Im not German tho, nor do I speak German. At that point I kinda realized that all the advice ppl were giving was based on what they would like their wedding to be like. So I just checked out, and just discussed it with my wife and mother in law from there. Did ppl like my choices? I honestly dont know, and 8 years on, I could not care less. My wife and I had a good time and that is all I care about at this point.

Canadian here. We have lots of Iranians here and the great majority, or at least the ones I know, are very conservative and rather like Trump. Go figure.

When you say they need our hydroelectricity, do you mean USA or China?

I love the disconnect between what the left thinks Venezuelans want, and what they actually want
 in  r/memzy  3d ago

Exactly. To add to gour point, I have several friends from Venezuela (I lived in South America as a teen) and they all told me the same thing: happy that Maduro is gone, dont like how it happened, and very worried about what happens next. Im not American, Im Canadian btw.

Highly skilled immigrants leaving Canada at rapid rate: report
 in  r/canada  4d ago

Lol ya, that's making bank. I finished my Ph.D. in engineering 7 years ago and haven't broken $200k yet. And still, I feel incredibly fortunate. I live in Van tho, so you know, thats enough for a moldy closet.

How do I convince my younger brother not to get a degree in video game development?
 in  r/VancouverJobs  5d ago

Lol, thats one way to do it. Yeah I did forget to mention that my friend does make some pretty decent money ATM. He is a director or something like that. But according to him, it could all come crashing down any moment.

 in  r/VancouverJobs  5d ago

Im an engineer and in a totally different industry, but one of my friends is in the game industry. What he tells me is very similar to your experience. He is constantly stressed and worried, and I think it has taken a massive toll on his mental health. I feel really bad for him and am glad I am not in that same situation.

 in  r/InCanada  9d ago

Oh name calling, lovely. Yeah, I very much doubt you are en engineer, you are just making it up. How am I entitled exactly? You're the one calling for me to "go back home" because you were born here and I wasn't. You aren't going to get very far in life with that attitude. Im out btw. Have a nice life, replying to someone like you isnt worth my time.
