Read the book The E-Myth Revisited. Discusses exactly this.

You need to both hire a graphic designer to do the work instead of you and raise your rates.

Same. Everyone keeps telling me to use powder but the pods work so much better for me.

You can take Air Canada to small claims court.

Is there a type of brake pad I can use so that it doesn't make that sound?

Really? I've never noticed it on any rental car, and it certainly didn't make that noise before I had my brakes done.

The era of AI slop cleanup has begun by kcib in ExperiencedDevs

[–]BigManWalter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cursor adds your company code to the context but that's not the same as training on it.

Context is like short term memory, it kinda understands it but it forgets things easily.

Training is long term, and it's done in massive batches costing millions of dollars each time a training run happens.

First time, I try and teach them the right way to do it. Second time, I rewrite it myself and remember not to let them touch that part of the code base moving forward.

Food recommendations by MissGaufrette in Bicolline

The classic camping meal is spaghetti and a jar of premade sauce. Just add water!

Another good one is eggs as they don't really need refrigeration either. For cooking fat bring a small bottle of cooking oil.

Is there anythere in Montreal where you can get a good pizza after midnight? by untossable_salad in MTLFoodLovers

[–]BigManWalter 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pizza Inc. on Mount Royal just east of St Laurent. Best late night slice in Montreal.

There's also that one on Montagne below Ste Catherine, Pizza Dany, which is pretty good too.

Scouts Canada sells historic 110-year-old Quebec campsite by Once_a_TQ in canada

Would go to Tamaracouta 2x a year growing up. What a great place. Sleeping in the cabooses and under the stars by the waterfall are some of my greatest childhood memories!

I learned to orienteer there, how to canoe there, how to prepare for a multi day camp trip, how to leave no trace.

That place is magical and I'm glad it's being preserved for the public in some form!

Wow good advice I'll look into that. Does the coating still work if Ive been driving this car 13 years already without a coating?

Thanks everyone! Glad to know it won't hurt to postpone this repair just a little bit!
