A company I worked for decided to measure "proficiency" instead of productivity and pay bonuses based on it. Basically our shift was 9hrs/day x 5 days/week = 45 possible hours billable per week. If our work orders added up to 45 hours that equaled 100%. Taking time off whether scheduled or not...

BB tried to compete with Apple and Samsung by building phones for the teenager market and their core business customers felt abandoned. They didn't do well in in that market and they ended up losing both markets. BB phones started getting attention from Teenagers because BBM was usable even...

I wasn't positing it as a superpower, I was merely telling a story of how a relatively uneducated man with a severe disability (alcoholism) could be outstanding in his field. If he had listened to academics he never would have succeeded. Grade schools pound home the narrative that if you don't...

I never tried to get hired as an apprentice. I was hired as a labourer and ended up fixing trucks. I worked at the same company till about a year after getting my license. I left that job and I moved from PEI to Ontario in 2014. No one cared that I didn't have a diploma to fix trucks. PEI shops...

I'm curious what trade required a two year diploma? I went to community College for machinist. That was an 8 month course and when completed we were credited with a full year completed of a four year apprenticeship. I didn't end up staying in the machinist trade and a couple years later I...

If this was the U.S. there would be many movies made about this by now.

There are some but they are not shipping firearms or ammo at this auction. I'm a 3 hour drive away so I'll pass this time. The last auction would ship firearms but not ammo.

That reminds me of the operation Black buck refueling plan https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Refuelling.plan.black.buck.svg/800px-Refuelling.plan.black.buck.svg.png

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't get registered in time to bid on the shotguns I wanted but I did manage to pick up a few pellet rifles for the kids.

Trudeau will just appoint another fall guy to serve up the same report. His worshipers will take it and rearrange the paragraphs and say it's a new report. There is no chance Trudeau will accept any heat for this.

I would imagine the 415's require much less lake to scoop from also. Interesting note The mars uses the same engines as the CP-107 Argus

Tronos Aviation in Summerside P.E.I. was converting BAE-146's to air tankers. I'm not sure how many they completed or if they are still doing it. Their website no longer mentions air tankers. Neptune aviation operates 9 BAE-146's and I know two came from Tronos. I'm not sure of the others. I...

I guess, but If I was spending the money they are to try to land a yet to be announced contract I would want my offering to be at least as capable as the current ships. Unless I had been told by someone at the RCN that the official position is the azipods weren't necessary. Otherwise If another...

The kingstons have azipods but the vard dosent? Did the RCN decide the azipods were unnecessary?

Didn't the liberals scream foul when Harper painted the CC-150 with that scheme. Now they used it on the CC-330? 🤷‍♂️ I like it BTW I just can't figure this government out.

Audiobook if that counts. A man called Intrepid by William Stevenson. The book is about William Stephenson the WW1 fighter pilot turned master spy from Winnipeg who was the inspiration for James bond. P.s. the narrator is not helping the book any. I believe it would be much better with someone...

I'm pretty sure they since sold their remaining stake in the c-series.

He is doing his part to usher in the "Great Reset"

Just a thought, has anyone experimented with small emp's for drone defense?

That was likely windows spell check having a coniption fit when you try to use canadian/british spelling. https://www.scribbr.com/us-vs-uk/defence-vs-defense/#:~:text=The%20spelling%20tends%20to%20vary,s%E2%80%9D)%20is%20more%20common.
