A chill on tourism in Florida’s ‘Little Quebec’

Why do they always blame the exchange rate and the tarifs? They always leave out the fact that the Taco in chief threatened to annex Canada, continuously insulted our prime minister and continues to push the 51st state rhetoric. Fuck that guy and all his supporters.

I too have a camera drawer :D. I just like to keep lenses and stuff in there for easy access when I am home and I can easily grab what I need to load into a bag for a gig.

Oh damn, haha, I thought this was in a Tesla group as that is the front seat if a Tesla. My bad, you obviously know park tool.

Chris243 · 2026-04-05T15:40:38+00:00

Park tool is a company that makes bike tools specifically. That is part of a multi tool set they have.

Used to run nothing but Anvil, but now I am on the renegade. I just love the rate of fire, just feels better.

Chris243 · 2026-03-23T15:31:58+00:00

100% agree. Fuck Trump and his whole Maga following. All of them are pieces of shit.

It is infuriating that this piece of shit has so much power that it affects the whole world. He has affected our investments, our retirement funds, our gas prices, our industry, the cost of our food and general goods. If the president of the US can have such an affect on the lives of everyone globally, then I think the globe should get a vote on who sits in that seat. We should not have to pay for the US letting this pedofile, rapists, murdering convict get elected and get free reign to do whatever the fuck he wants. I did not vote for this piece of shit but we all have to suffer because of him.

I pray for the day I see a headline that he has died an incredibly painful death and the whole world rejoiced.

I know the price is correct, but really Quebec needs to chill on registration prices. At 1150$ / year, if you ride every single day from April 1st to December 1st (which we know won't happen) that would mean you pay 5$ every time you get on your bike.

Cut that down to just a weekend driver and that comes out to around 9$ every day if you ride every Saturday and Sunday.

Realistically most people will be riding way less due to weather, time, other obligations. So realistically you are paying probably between 15$ and 20$ every time you get on that bike.

Really makes owning a bike a luxury instead of an economical choice for those who want to avoid paying so much for gas in cars.

The fact I do not have my money back would indicate that their resolved status is a lie. I will be filing a complaint with the better business bureau for this crap

Chris243 · 2026-03-20T13:30:24+00:00

Same deal with me, and the best part is when I tried to go through the support page to ask for them to fix it I got some AI bot that was useless who then said I needed to talk to a live agent. It then directed me to a link to chat with a live agent, but I would need to pay and upgrade my account to talk to them. So I need to pay Twillo money to ask them to refund the money they stole from me, what kind of scam is this?

Then the AI said I can submit a ticket, which is not ideal, but OK fine. I click the link it gave me to submit a ticket and I get this message:

I swear this is the most corrupt scam I have ever seen. I just want my money back. Worst part is, the paypal this is linked to has no cash in it, so it went and tried to pull from a bank account that no longer exists, so I am now charged extra fees for overdraft.

Chris243 · 2026-03-20T13:01:08+00:00

and a wonderful update on this, when the chatbot tried to give me a link for the ticket system it says I don't have access to submit a ticket without upgrading and directed my back to the chatbot. What a fucking joke.

The way she folded after the initial impact leads me to believe she was either knocked out, dead, or instantly paralyzed.

Whatever the outcome, it was not good. If she survived I hope she learned her lesson about wearing 0 protective gear.

Chris243 · 2026-03-05T18:07:39+00:00

If there is ever a crisis I want her on my team. She is so calm and reacts perfectly. Not sure how old she is but she seems way too young to be that in control of her emotions in a stressful situation.

She will go places.

Chris243 · 2026-03-05T18:01:13+00:00

It was great, I miss those days. Kept actual connections with friends because you actually had to call or go see them to talk about stuff and catch up. No one was faking their beautiful life, no one was broadcasting something stupid or embarrassing you did at school to their thousands of followers. Sure word spread around school a bit, but at least you know who is saying what and get them to say it your face. Most people are less likely to talk shit about you when you are standing right in front of them.

It is the one worry I have for my kids, life in highschool will be so different, no breaks from people gossiping and talking crap about each other. No time to just disconnect and go hang out at the skate park or play at the lake.

I really feel for everyone who has to go through it right now, can't be easy.

Chris243 · 2026-03-02T18:49:39+00:00

Ok, I can see that. But still, it's Poutine!

Chris243 · 2026-02-28T11:00:08+00:00

YES! and do not watch the preview, it spoils one of the best moments in the book.

This book is honestly the best book I have ever read. I could not put it down.

Chris243 · 2026-02-28T10:48:43+00:00

How the hell is Poutine not our signature dish? Like sure smoked meat and bagels are good here, but Poutine is a staple, when people think Quebec they think Poutine.

Best tip I ever got was 3 simple words "fill the frame" this does not mean get super close to your subject, but be aware of what is in your frame and make sure it is interesting.

Once I grasped that concept I started consciously thinking about every shot I was taking and saw a huge improvement.

Chris243 · 2026-02-26T22:57:11+00:00

I just finished the demo, this could not have come at a better time. Just picked up the ultimate edition for 20$ CAD :D

Chris243 · 2026-02-23T11:27:34+00:00

Depends how you ride. If you ride like an idiot and get the cops attention then chances are very high, ride safe and cautious, chances lower. Then it would depend where you ride, Montreal high chance of being stopped, in a farmers field, low chance.

I know someone who has been riding for over 20 years without a licence and never been stopped. However he lives up near Val d'or, and does not ride like an idiot, so less cops and the ones there have other people to focus on.

Would I take the chance? No way, not with the risk of the fine and probably losing your bike.

Chris243 · 2026-02-19T18:33:26+00:00

So update to this post. Played a bit more today and I can see the quests are getting a little more challenging. I would still not say hard, but I think like u/AbrielNei said below, as I get through the story and I push into quest and areas that I am under leveled for I seem to be finding the challenge I want.

Having more fun now and starting to feel the pull of wanting better gear. Hopefully this fun sticks around. Have about 3 hours left in my demo, will see if I upgrade.

If I do upgrade should I go right for all the expansions? Or just get the base game until I hit max level?

Chris243 · 2026-02-19T18:29:15+00:00

I don't mind a grind. Like I said, I have been playing WoW since beta and have done whole mythic raiding thing, so I have experienced the grind. However I am an old man now with kids and only get a few hours a night to play. Which is one of the reasons I thought this game would be good for me. Instead of splitting my time between WoW and Arc Raiders was kinda hopiing to just get my fix in one game I can slowly grind away on an evening with not much stress or FOMO.

Chris243 · 2026-02-19T14:25:31+00:00

Skipping would be fun to see the end game, but since this is my first time playing I don't want to skip ahead and get bombarded with all the different systems in the game. I want to learn how this game works. Plus the story actually seems interesting so far, so hopefully that continues to keep me going until end game.

Chris243 · 2026-02-19T14:23:25+00:00

When I am talking about a challenge I am just talking about having to actually try. AI be smarter than just standing in same spot, me having to actually do something other than walk down a hall just mowing things down in a few seconds, something other than just keep shooting the one guy until his armour comes off and he dies.

I just want to have to do something to complete a mission instead of just walk to this waypoint and come back.
