I wish my job allowed for masaive breeches of conduct where I could sit at home and enjoy free cheques....but I guess almost 0 incentive not to mess up on purpose

The Linux Teams app works. I'm not sure what is missing other than MS abandoning dev on it

My one house purchased late 90s in Ontario came with notes and required signoff aknowledgement that it was in a designated flood plain. So flood plain awareness should not be new to people. (The home was on a raised pedistal foundation, so flood damage should have been minimal if it occured, and price was right)

Moving out west with huge topology changes meant I always checked flood plain maps before looking at realestate. Some friends of mine called me paranoid and had a good laugh about my efforts...but I think with all the atmospheric rivers and worldvwide flooding recently, they may now understand my madness.

We had something similar. Dad went out for a dinner, then later you get to have a phonecall about the restaurant food and experience. A way to share, rather than a gift they probably didn't need.

Looking back through the comments the downvotes aren't about denying experience. The topic raised was no need to show work if answer is right...but there is a reason the work should be shown and it is for the future course / work setup. If people have trouble doing that, your school can setup an IEP (individualized Education Plan).

If anyone had taken my explanation as insult to experience that was not my intention. Two of my kids have ADHD. They both had wildly fluctuating math scores. Working with them on techniques to work through the method and not jump right to answering, helped them steady their grades. They were often done first out of everyone, but rounding error or just plain old transposition often messed things up, so part of showing work reasoning was "OK, you have 1/2 hour left till test is over, go through your steps backwards, does it still make sense" and often they'd find their errors, but you can't do that with an empty page with only an answer.

Until the system has multiple types of learning and testing setup, which could take decades, working with the system is really the only way to get through it. Finding the students currency often helps provide a reward system to counter what the executive function and impulse system aren't coordinating on

Good point on dox etc. We have lots of options in BC. Coast Capital, FirstWest, and VanCity are good options here.

TD bank manager actually suggested I open my business account with Coast Capital LOL, he said TD can't compete with what Coast Capital offers.

When I switched I went from 21$ TD monthly fee plus $1.50 debit transactions...to zero fees for anything.

Plus government kicked in $200 as incentive to choose a credit union.

Credit Union also allows us voting on major policy changes, so members have a say in how the union develops.

Profits are fed back into community support.

TD had all my business before. Personal and business account, car, house, motorcycle insurance, RRSP, credit card, line of credit. They got too greedy though, and as I used line of credit they kept re-evaluating the variance. So about a 3% rate rose to 17%. But the real push was watching transaction order get changed overnight to force an NSF fee charge the next day, by counting (reordering) morning deposits last after evening withdrawals.

We have family on otherside of country, sending cash via mail is risky, so we sometimes default to a gift card for something in their local area.

Typically only promotional/giveaway gift cards expire here in Canada.

That you need to show your work, so they can test if they taught you the principles.

The "show your work" is about checking if you understand the logic in getting the answer. We had lots of questions out of 5. Right answer was only worth 1 mark, the other 4 were the steps and reasoning. This type of setup punishes those that skip right to the answer, or have memorized answers. But rewards those that show they know the concepts
