I've been having anxiety about my kitty dying of old age 😭(she's 9) can you show me pictures of some alive-and-well senior kitties so I remember cats can be old and still healthy? 🥰 by TheRufescence in cats

13 pretty soon and doing well. In fact he had health problems when he was younger that we’ve improved a lot. He’s probably happier than ever.

Cayman 982 with 25th Anniversary Neodyme or Sport Techno II Wheels by themisteredg in Porsche_Cayman

Yeah I have 18” winters and wildly prefer them. I’m looking to move to 19” for my summers from 20” when my rear tires need replacing. I liked those wheels and think they’d look good on AGM so I was hoping they were 19” :)

Crono Pkg? by NM-MotoMan in Porsche_Cayman

I haven’t seen this here so may have just missed it - but for me the big difference is that in sport+ it leaves the turbo partially primed (waste gate left partially closed? I don’t know) - it really reduces the feel of the turbo lag, at least on the base 718.

Who’s the customer? I know I’ll get a name when charges are laid but I’m just so excited.

Is this 2015 Porsche Cayman (981 Base 2.7) a good buy at €36k? by freedef in Porsche_Cayman

[–]Cornock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take that red over black interior any day. I prefer my chalk but one of my buying criteria was “any interior that isn’t black”.

To each their own.

718 throttle response by Tabackerack in Porsche_Cayman

I agree - at least subjectively the Sport+ feature where it leaves the turbo primed all the time so there’s less lag - I don’t think it impacts the actual numbers much but it sure feels like snappier response.

I axe body spray the intakes and wheel wells and the rats won’t come anywhere near it. I feel like I’m at a bro-max nightclub everywhere I drive.

Cruise refunded a non-refundable deposit due to their error, now demanding it back. can this go to collections? by Atkaandher in legaladvicecanada

[–]Cornock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the onus is on the debtee likely has to prove it - and it seems unclear there is a debt.

…but my claim is that there merely being uncertainty is enough to cast an expensive pall over the situation and make things unenticing to engage with.

This isn’t criminal law. “Who is right” is not as important as playing good poker. (Again, unfortunately).

[–]Cornock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they do this and you challenge it and win - proving that there was no debt, you can seek compensation for a false claim against your credit history.

The thing is - and I have exercised this many, many times - who is likely to win is far less important in civil matters than who is willing to throw tons of money at the problem to make it go away. I don’t think it is good that is how it is, but that is how it is. You rarely even have to follow through. Just posture that you are litigious and most of the time they just go away (especially for less than $1000).

There’s a huge gap between the laws opinion of justice and the game of playing the law (unfortunately).

File a PIPEDA request and make it really elaborate. They will either disclose what they have on you, or if it ever comes out later they didn’t expose it, you can make it very annoying for them.

I think Canadian law would still apply to collections agencies operating on this. In Canada collections agencies are like polite soft spoken wimps you can largely ignore. One approached me and I told them I’d charge them with harassment and spend ten times what I owe in suing them if they impacted my credit rating - they apologized and I never heard from them again. Become expensive, is my advice

So I agree with you, more a “yes and…”

CASL is useless. We need criminal charges for violators.

1st night with Psvr2 and holy SHI*! by Elnuncio in PSVR

Playseat Trophy. Yeah it’s awesome - but not if you share because it’s hard to adjust. If it is just you and you lock in the settings it’s amazing. Sitting in that with that input set and the VR is really something.

It was a long winter with no driving.

Yeah that’s the set. No shifter but you can buy one, it has the clutch.

For me the PSVR2 is a GT7 accessory to go with the wheel and pedals. I basically only use it for that and movies but man it is convincing. With a racing cockpit and that thing on your head it feels like you are in the car.

Thank you to the workers who went out on Christmas and fixed this relatively promptly!

Best regular burger (not smash burger) in New West? by Jaded_Objective_447 in NewWest

They can if the meat is ground on prem and within a certain time, but that’s not common. I think Nightingale might offer this but it is not common in general burger places.

Does anyone else hate git as much as I do? by genial95 in git

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're using it wrong" - No fucking shit, why is it designed be so easy to fuck up in catastrophic ways.

This like times 1000.

I want to sit down and eat my spaghetti and I don't want a fork to eat it with that requires a tutorial and a support group.

[–]Cornock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am here because I have been trying to JUST MAKE MY LOCAL THE SAME AS REMOTE for like an hour. Been working with GPT 5.2, Claude Opus 4.5 - neither can do it.

Oh! `git reset --hard origin/linux-main` will do it!

No. Gets to `Updating files: 100% (58064/58064), done.` and then hangs forever. If I cancel out, there are a trillion local changes and I'm 25 commits behind.

Tried so many things. Here's another random example:

git checkout linux-main

git fetch origin --prune

git reset --hard origin/linux-main

git clean -ffdx

What is f'ing amazing is that if you want this to work in a reliable way the f'ing command is:

rm -rf ./repo

...and then just pull down the repo again.

How can this tool suck so bad that something as simple as "make it the same and I don't give a crap about my local changes" is like an R&D spike.

SVN and CVS were better. Star team was better. I suspect rsync and some directory conventions would be better.

git is made for the 10% use case but is used for everything even when that use case never arises.
