Ever since the pandemic that dude is nowhere to be seen. I think they aren’t hiring those positions anymore or basically downgraded them so much they only a few select lots have enforcement. I’m always curious as to how many people would even pay those tickets as even if it goes to collections people wouldn’t pay. | I think you're right, I notice WAY less enforcement going on in many of the lots downtown and in Burnaby nowadays.
Wouldn't be surprised if it's a lack of employee supply.

I’m sure it’s like YVR short staffing and everywhere else. No one wants to work a shitty job where you get verbally/physically abused over $20 an hour

don't they just drive around in a little hatchback with 360 cameras running plates and spitting out tickets?

question for you electricians or home reno guys
i have 3 small appliances i want to put in the same place. my coffee grinder, espresso machine, and kettle.
grinder is only 260w, espresso machine 1000w, and kettle 1500w.
i won't be using them at the same time, but just wondering how to best plug these in that would not cause any problems?
to add complexity to it, i want to put the espresso machine on a wifi plug.
so i'd probably put the kettle into one receptacle on its own, then consider maybe putting a 3 plug multi plug into the other receptacle and plugging both the wifi plug and the grinder into that.
will i die? y/n

If it's the big parkade at Beatty and Pender, that's Easypark. The land and building is owned by city of vancouver, so they set the price and enforce the tickets.
The parking companies have lost so much revenue from having no big events for a year or more, plus way less daytime office workers, they are probably attempting to make up the difference now by charging a lot more during evening events in order to stay solvent.
Almost 20 years ago I worked in RE and we owned and leased a building and gave one f the parking lot contracts to Impark.
A few days later some guy from Impark shows up and gives the execs a VIP card that allowed them to park at any Impark lot in North America for free. There were lots of exemptions attached to that card I am sure, but this day I am still jealous they got those.

Wow that's some kind of privilege!
Imagine that in a place like, say, New York... I remember trying to park in Manhattan in 2003 and drove into a parkade... was wondeirng why all the cars were Aston Martins and German cars etc... read a sign and it said it was $25usd/hr back THEN
Thank goodness for the 5 minute grace period to gtfo of there... Can't imagine what it is now...........

Kitchen counter plugs should be on their own circuit so a grinder and espresso on 1 and the kettle on another should be fine
As long as they aren’t all going at the exact same time should be fine even on the same outlet I’d think

You can plug in your appliances no problem - I did that at the old condo. Just don't run all three of them at once. Be mindful of other appliances like toaster oven or microwave running concurrently as well.

I bought some wifi plugs a while back and found out the hard way they were only rated for 900w. I used one on my space heater in the greenhouse, and it turns out they were internally fused for 900w. The fuse was not serviceable, and so the thing was basically trash.
Make sure your multi-tap power cord is at least 14awg or better.
I have my 970W toaster, 1500W kettle and 1075W drip coffee machine on a short 3 plug 14awg power bar. (My kitchen receptacle is 20A). They're never all on at the same time either so it's never been an issue. Even when I have run the toaster and kettle at the same time, the toaster isn't on long enough to cook the power bar or trip the breaker.

So, I've seen these latest news reports about the shitty conditions at the SRO's. They always show this pictures of the gross washroom conditions like this:
And pointing at the landlords like it's their fault it's that way.
Like I understand if plumbing's not working that should be the landlord's responsibility to fix, but if toilets, sinks and bathtubs looking like biohazard zones seem to be the result of junkies not cleaning after themselves and caring for their living area.
Or is it the landlord's responsibility to clean the washrooms for them?

Yea that’s how I felt when I saw the news story today.
The guy who lived there giving the interview was walking down the halls and every utility door is double padlocked, the electrical panel had a huge pad lock on it, there’s garbage on the floor in the hallway, and then he goes to the bathroom where the tank of the Toilet had obviously been smashed/stolen, bags of garbage in the bathroom etc.
You guys with free downtown accommodations need a bathroom attendant now?

Extensions are not recommended because people buy the dollar store ones with thin wires. Thin wires + "high" amp pull + long extension = possible fire.
We do ghetto shit at work that's way under code, but that's for like temporary tool power, never had a fire. Think 300ft of 14/2 and a 15A tool lol.... Quote:

Or is it the landlord's responsibility to clean the washrooms for them? | News outlets pumping out garbage, because they know 75% of the population will sob and feel bad to get clicks and views
I do repairs in the meth unions, including snaking the shitters and or sewer mains
95% of the issues, are dirty panties, needles and who knows what dumped down the drain.
Stolen "components" for their "gadgets" is very common, toilet mechanics, valve handles, mirrors, literally anything they can rip off.
You should see the kind of art they draw on the walls..... Racism, sexism, kkk stuff, bestiality, I got pics on my phone but that's for internal group chats only lol
If you took that photo, and renod the bathroom to a decent condition, it would be "destroyed" within 48hrs
This applies for many common washrooms, with that being said, some areas are worse and some are actually in great condition
Then there's the topic of in suite washrooms..... Again, it's dependant on who is living there. Some are kept clean, and some are...... Well.... Absolutely disgusting, I'm talking fruit flies, mold, pile of expired food, walls are yellow from smoking? shower used a a recycler for beer cans, literally anything you can think of
This is not a landlord issue, it's a user issue
Icing on the cherry is that some of these SROs are in False Creek / Mt Pleasant area, you can't even tell it's an SRO from driving by
I feel for the people that got unlucky, disabled, or time and place did not work out for them. They are truly trying to move up in life and this is their stepping stone.
But for the other half smoking meth, breaking into cars, multi ambulance call outs for the same person in 8hrs, and draining society, I could care less

Modular housing is not bad. What I think this illustrates is that some of the individuals who live in tents don't have the capacity/etiquette/life skills to live independently even if you give them decent housing.

That should work fine, my only issue with those things is when you plug in 3 heavy power cords the only thing supporting it all is the tension of the wall receptacle on the splitter's plug prongs, and they can get a little loosey goosey which can lead to bad/arcing connection (especially if the wall receptacle is a little worn out).
I like these ones a little better because they screw into the receptacle and are way more secure: https://www.amazon.ca/GE-54946-6-Gro...27&sr=8-5&th=1

if i put all 3 appliances into that then would it work so the top 3 are connected to the top receptacle and the bottom 3 on the bottom one? since like honda said, kitchen plugs are usually on separate circuits, would the kettle on one row and the smartplug and grinder on the other row be the way to do it?

*each separate outlet should be on a separate circuit, so like the one double wall plug is on its own, not the top/bottom of the same outlet
That’s also presuming it’s up to that standard

IF your receptacles are in fact wired for split-circuit, then yes that's correct.
The electrical code changed in 2018 and it's now more common that kitchen counter receptacles are fed from a single 20A circuit (You can tell this if your receptacle is a T-slot style)
Either way you'll be fine.

That’s also presuming it’s up to that standard | Per code you can have up to two kitchen outlets on one 20A Single pole breaker, or one 15A 2-pole breaker (Split circuit)
