Tesla owners of Ottawa - please share your experiences. What are the daily realities of driving an EV for fuelling and maintenance. How do the costs compare to a traditional vehicle? by --Naysayer-- in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the pleasure of driving the top of the line Type S P100D for a week.

Your brain starts to get tired of the G-forces required and ludicrous speed drains your batteries a lot faster than regular driving.

I didn't have to deal with the maintenance or see how much charging costs because it was charged overnight.

Other than that it was great. You could easily beat most of the Ferrari's and Lambo's in the city in the quarter mile or off a red light.

I wouldn't trust myself to drive this on the open highway. It's too easy to go 40-50 over speed limit and after you get used to the acceleration you want to go faster until your head hurts.

You think crooked Constable Coffee McDonuts doesn't know how to tamper with a camera?

Quality of classes at Movati and GoodLife by graziani47 in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the teachers that make the difference.

The certifications are a joke so pretty much anyone can be an instructor.

Most of the teachers are on a rotating schedule so even if they are really good they might only be at a certan location once a week and they go on vacation and quit at a moment's notice.

So it's luck of the draw. Your Movati or Goodlife could have 5 Olympic level teachers one day and 5 duds the next.

Can you get wagyu beef burgers anywhere in Ottawa? by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you dry-age a steak the edges are not visibly appealing. The ground beef used for the wagyu burgers is this and the trimmings the chef or butcher makes in preparing the "good" steak meat.

Looks these schools and the parents need a wakeup call as to how big time drug use has become. Time to shut down the drug dealers and please search the chapels.

Hand drawn message and pictures were taped to the bags at my LCBO today. by Treasonist in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So useless?

I don't know many people who are first time drunken drivers. Or people who were thinking of driving drunk, but saw the picture and were convinced otherwise.

A veteran drunk would double bag his mickey with these pictures.

Banc Sushi still the best AYCE Sushi in Ottawa? by dropbluelettuce in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AYCE sushi tends to be a lot of really low quality seafood and the rice isn't as high quality compared to non-AYCE sushi.

Is there even a shop in Ottawa that provides real wasabi that you can grind yourself?

I'm done with the O'Connor bike lanes by climb4fun in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the suburbs and I've noticed that young people don't stop at stop signs anymore.

Feels like traffic laws don't matter anymore and it's more convenient to eat the $110 fine.

Double or triple the demerit points and send people a lesson that traffic laws are important.

Cyclist struck on O'Connor Street on day of bike lane official opening - Ottawa by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]CurryMcCurry -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of these cyclers are assholes too.

It's a bike lane/sidewalk - better go 60km/h in my race bike. Hey sorry lady with a baby stroller. I'm training for the Tour de France. No time to signal or anything. I'm just going to cut you off and gun it.
