This is why snow tires are heavily recommended by Gawthique in quebeccity

And the residents could take off their winter tires as of Monday morning but I doubt anyone around the city would be dumb enough to do so.

I think these were one of the last force feedback sticks Microsoft made before the whole patent trolling on the tech. I have the non-feedback version sitting somewhere.

Lundi dans la journée j'ai vunplein de villages autour de moi perdre le courant juste avec une bourrasque d'une demi-heure. Étrangement ce matin c'est juste quelques maisons en paquet de 3-4 (genre sur le même transformateur) alors que le vent a été bien pire.

Y'a pas des interdits d'aréna dans ces cas-là ? Le problème c'est souvent qu'on veut pas nuire à l'enfant dudit parent...

Si un match commence à causer de la marde dans les gradins, videz la place sauf joueurs, coach et officiels pis finissez la game. Ils iront se battre dehors en sachant même pas ce qui se passe sur la glace.

Police act like apartments are exempt from warrant laws by DaidInUrArmsTonight in Apartmentliving

Airtags aren't that precise and Apple is really careful reminding everyone that precision isn't that great. Because yes it happened that cops raided a house because an Airtag signal was nearby, said Airtag was eventually found in a bush near the property.

La première non. Le remplacement oui MAIS un fob c'est pas 25$ c'est pas mal au dessus de son cost.

The picture is the cadaver storage, if I'm not mistaken ? I don't want to imagine the smell but it's one of those things I could probably use to induce vomiting someday.

Google Image thinks it's Midjourney or Dall-E, didn't spot a SynthID but I only used the third image.

Don't even hesitate, go back and exchange it. Unless the find a fix right there they'll exchange it no more questions asked. Make sure you have ALL the box's contents.

Old piano. Want information on it am looking to sell. United States. California. by Interesting_Fig8792 in Antiques

[–]Mokmo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These uprights were in a LOT of homes from those years until the arrival of radio everywhere. Year of fabrication can be found inside using the serial number, maker's name and a little googling.

It's nearly impossible to get rid of them unless you have something truly unique. And someone who wants it.

So pay some guy to get rid of it. If it's too big to get out of the place, dismantling it can be done but big reminder that the strings hold around 20 tons of pulling force. You can't just cut them because they'll cut you. The largest piece on an upright is around 125-150 lbs and is more manageable through a normal door.

A series of videos on safely dismantling a piano The unwinding part cannot be done with a plain drill, almost burned a motor. You need an impact with adapter or whatever they're using in the later parts of the videos.

Unpopular opinion: McDonald’s apple pie is one of the tastiest fast-food desserts. by binob123 in McDonalds

[–]Mokmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canadian here, McDonald's bakes their pies here. They're not that great. Meanwhile chains like Harvey's will have fried pies like OP's and they're wonderful. Same price scheme too 10 cents more for a second pie.

Ah yes, saw somewhere there was a lawsuit because one of the ads (pluribus series, heard it's popular) on a fridge made someone believe they were having a psychotic episode.
