any time i bring my "john thomas" and wee wee in public, then i remind myself, you must comport yourself, remember you are going to an organized environment and country. that being said, how do you guys take a leak, when you are pressed or how common are public toilets?

There’s usually places like Timmies or McDonalds one can use but in general like someone said , plan ahead.

Id definitely be careful peeing in public . Chances of anything happening are low but there’s always a chance a cop might spot you and depending on his/her mood you might find yourself getting a ticket and i’ve heard (but not confirmed) certain places considering it a sex offense

I've never understood why guys feel they can't hold their pee and think it's okay to go around urinating in public. It's very bad manners in my opinion and canada or not, legal or not please start exercising the necessary discipline.

Do we think ladies have bigger bladders or what? Yet how many times can one see a lady squatted by the road side? In fact a good number of ladies suffer incontinence following pregnancy and childbirth yet don't go about behaving like bladder control is a myth.

Sincerely it is a sexual offence comparable to flashing in my opinion. Unzip your trouser and bring out something for everybody passing to be seeing.

Nah not really. The advantages to having those parts mostly inside me far outweigh the disadvantages.

Meanwhile I don't think men pee on the streets just because they can stand. A good percentage of men in the north squat to pee and they still do it in public. Its just a mindset.

Funny though I travelled once in a bus full of women in hijab and when they needed to pee they all did it standing up, no need to even look for secluded bush. Those flowy skirts were just magical.

And by the way, I've never seen a woman doing number two on the road either. I've only ever seen men doing it.

God! I pray none of our people is among oh An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board, the airline says. It said 149 passengers and eight crew members were believed to be on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya. The airline added that there were 33 different nationalities on board. The crash happened at 08.44 local time, six minutes after the months-old Boeing 737 Max-8 took off. It is not yet clear what caused the accident.

[b]An eyewitness at the scene told the
BBC there was an intense fire as the
aircraft hit the ground. "The blast and the fire were so strong
that we couldn't get near it," he said.
"Everything is burnt down. There are
four helicopters at the scene now." First word of the crash came when
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed expressed
his "deepest condolences" on Twitter. Report In an earlier statement, the airline said
that search and rescue operations
were under way near the crash site
around the town of Bishoftu, which is
60km (37 miles) south-east of the
capital. "Ethiopian Airlines staff will be sent to
the accident scene and will do
everything possible to assist the
emergency services," the statement
added. Boeing, the company that built the
aeroplane, said in a tweet that it was
"closely monitoring the situation". Its 737 Max-8 aircraft is relatively new
to the skies, having been launched in
2016. It was added to the Ethiopian
Airlines fleet in July last year[/b]

Uwc.. Go for the road test ONLY when she's able to match you with her contact at the registry. She will give you a date under a week and will also make you drive the test routes.

Whether "our people" are among or not, it's still a sad incident. It doesn't make it any more unfortunate if "our people" are on the ill-fated flight or not. I just find this line rather inappropriate.

Hey folks, this advice is specifically for those in IT Field more specifically software / computer engineers ,and Full stack developers

There is a lot of demand for professionals in the aforementioned fields with extremely good salaries. It is not rare to meet an entry level grad making 80,000+ a year , infact that is what a top grad can expect in the GTA. An experienced developer can make 150K + easily. Now given the demand , are these jobs easy to get , YES and NO.

Why No?
Unlike a lot of professions (and of course no disrespect to those professions) software interviews are much more than a cultural fit or situational questions. You can expect multiple rounds of technical interviews and questions like "What is OOP" will be warm up at the most. So how do you get yourself prepared for this "exam" , the only answer is practice. It doesn't matter if you have been a developer for 10+ years, without practice you'll have forgotten a lot of the fundamental Data Structures and Algorithms which will be heavily tested for.

What then is the best way to practice :
1. ' www dot leetcode dot com ' is one I highly recommend. There are tons of questions but if you can solve one or two questions per day in easy mode and then ramping up difficulty progressively , after 2-3months you should be among the top candidates in most interviews.

2. Cracking The Coding Interview is another one . This is a comprehensive book that covers a lot of topics as well as provides tips on how to ace interviews at companies like Google, Amazon etc

I came here to share this because I know we Nigerians are smart and I personally want to see more Nigerians in top tier tech jobs but it's hard because most people wont even pass the first round relying simply on their existing experience.

Why Yes?
As I said above if you religiously go through the above material , youll find that your skills will move to a whole new level and these interviews will become very easy.

For anyone who takes interest in the materials and has questions on algorithms or implementations and so on , let me know

Source : Im a software engineer at one of the top 3 companies in the world.

Happy Coding guys !

Thanks for sharing bro!

I'm a UI/UX Designer and i'd like to send you a PM concerning this?

Thanks again, I'll speak with her. There's been some changes recently with Alberta taking over driver tests... It's no longer privatised.

@Salford1,
I am sure you've heard by now that the Prof was indeed on the flight.
Few weeks ago was when his story about the Racoon was everywhere.
