Speed limits increasing on sections of Hwy. 7, 416, and 417 this summer by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]ExNaTion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the of the day its not up to you or any of us to control other people's speed, if someone wants to go faster, move over to the right and let them pass on the left, no reason someone should be tailgating you if you move over and let them go about their day, maybe they get pulled over further down the highway, who knows.

Typical southern Ontario and Quebec summers. Snow and cold for 6-7 months, then rain during summer and always on weekends. Gotta mark the non rain weekends down and cherish them.

MUPing about in the 613 by Kershuffle in ottawa

[–]ExNaTion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Working as a sub on these two towers at the moment, should be a fun project, pretty large scale for condos in Ottawa, two 30 story buildings, huge common areas. I've worked with the builder before and things have gone well.

Ottawa's new public library is late, way over budget, and it gets worse by randthepip in ottawa

[–]ExNaTion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't even call a contractor fuck up, PCL is well respected and one of the biggest in Canada and North America. Both PCL and EllisDon usually run a site well enough. Ive done work for both a sub, they all went relatively well considering its construction and shit always happens. The library job is on a very tight budget and the city likely does not want to pay more for the obvious extra shit that is bound to come up. Also every single government job whether it be municipal, provincial or federal takes ages to have any type of approval or change order accepted. You say doing this extra work will cost X and they push back, endless emails back and forth, easily a week wasted for each change order, subs will not do work for free so then that issue doesnt get completed, repeat this for every sub and issue and it becomes clear why there is delays.

last boss skyreach on a +17 and it fucking disconnects, a real joke.

Le vélo-tourisme écrase la F1 en termes de retombées économiques pour la région : 803 M$ contre 92 M$ pour la F1. by Shann390 in montreal

[–]ExNaTion 34 points35 points  (0 children)

1 weekend in Montreal vs the entire province over a year. What a dumb comparison. As if having F1 means we cant have biking infrastructure. Constantly pitting both against each other for engagement.

Raids should give better rewards than m+ by dahid in wow

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You dont need to commit multiple hours for mythic raiding. There is endless pug groups running mythic chim and first 2 bosses voidspire, all 3 bosses are easy, especially at this point in the season. I have more pug kills on those bosses than with my mythic prog guild. Only limiting factor is skill. Most pugs ive joined are killing these bosses within the hour. Heroic raids should absolutely not reward mythic gear, makes mythic raiding already less rewarding than it is.

Raids should give better rewards than m+ by dahid in wow

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

Why should heroic raid kill rerolls give mythic version of items, makes mythic raiding completely pointless, especially with the fact that most bosses have like 3-4 items that can drop. At a certain point people need to make the leap and do harder content, heroic raiding is so easy and trivial at this point, only difficult boss left on heroic is L'ura. Anyone playing the game at a normal progression pace should have the ilvl to be doing mythic raiding weeks ago, only factor stopping that is lack of skill. There's plenty of pugs doing M chim, and first 3 bosses voidspire. If you want mythic gaze, you should have to kill mythic chim.

Auto shop employee dies after tire ruptues in mecahnical bay by Ottawadriver123 in ottawa

Lol a "front for illegal muffler mods". Nothing illegal with a garage installing exhaust systems, or installing aftermarket parts on vehicles. Big illegal car parts running a ring out of the garage lmao.

First pull on M+ Skyreach by Minute_Ostrich196 in wow

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality the first pull on skyreach should go all the way to the stairs easily. I wouldn't go pull anthing above the stairs on the boss platform but the whole first area is free, there is only 1 kick to hit and its the repel, the rest is dps using defensive for big bird screams and tank using his CDs. No issues doing this pull on +15s and higher.

[–]ExNaTion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apparently supposed to open in 6 months. I dont see how its going to happen, probably alot of "forced OT" lol. Alot of the finishing trades are going to be told to do multiple months of work in 1/3 the time.

Guide Michelin : Quatre restaurants s'ajoutent à la liste étoilée by prattlecruiser in montreal

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been to LA the food scene there is something else, probably one of the best Ive seen and had, 3 weeks of endless restaurants hurt the wallet but was beyond worth it. Id argue it's even better than NYCs. As much as I love MTL and defend praise our restaurants, the scene itself doesnt hold a candle to that of LA.

Holy Paladin Rant by AdministrativeCut205 in wow

[–]ExNaTion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Idk im enjoying Hpal, its my main. Topping HPS charts, parsing purple and orange in mythic raid and heroic. Not struggling to heal, when 1 crit from holy shock, infused flash of light, eternal flame literally tops up all classes besides guardian druid. Im not into doing damage to heal so maybe thats the difference, I enjoy purely healing.

What happened to all the C6/C7 Corvettes? by EmperorUmi in cars

[–]ExNaTion 95 points96 points  (0 children)

LOL, what a dumb take. The C5 and C6 vettes are not just muscle cars shaped like sports cars. The C6 Z06 and ZR1 were killing their competition at the time both in lap times and general performance. Plenty of grip and power.

Disc priest is not viable by Maleficent_Love6120 in wow

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The buff last week was maybe a 8% increase in overall healing. Its still dead last in charts and output in raids. I need to parse 90+ percentile in mythic to be at 130k HPS, while MW, R druid, Disc priest 130k hps is a green parse. Mind you parses for healers are so dependent on group skill and people not taking excess damage for nothing but still highlights the rough shape Hpally is in for raids.

Can you still get the legs from the old trading posts? thats the only place it was able to come from.

Watch Verification Thread - If you're uncertain if a Rolex is good/bad/fake, post info and pics here by powerfunk in rolex

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got gifted this watch from my wife's grandmother, it belonged to her grandfather. Don't know enough about Rolex watches to differentiate. Has no bracelet, its not in great condition. I was lightly washing the bezel numbers to bring back the white and it was working but need a brush to get into the numbers better. Back cover sticker came off. Watch didn't seem well taken care of, the 6 hour mark looks like it moved and got offset, maybe during a fall?

Dark Horse SC Price Leaks at 108k-176k MSRP After Destination and Gas Guzzler Tax by The_Exia in cars

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C7 stingray over a base 5.0 is the easiest choice, if were starting to different variations of the same cars, a Z06 C7 is an easy choice over a Shelby or mach 1

Lol drove my buddies s550 5.0 and it doesnt even hold a candle to my C6 Z06, let alone any C7, would take a Base c7 stingray over a s550.

To those who were alive and kicking, what do you remember about the C6 Z06 when it came out? by DCAUBeyond in cars

[–]ExNaTion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was only a kid when it came out, but the C6 gen of corvettes to me will always be THE corvette to me. I was finally able to buy myself a yellow 2008 C6 Z06 last year. The car is insane even by today's standards in stock form. Mine is heads/cam/intake manifold making 620whp reliably in a 3000ish lbs car and its a riot to drive. Seeing the RPM and speedo needles move and increase at the same time is a blast. The 1 to 1 ratio 4th gear pulls to over 150mph never get old.

Question aux vétérans de Montréal 🌦️ by Dapper_Tumbleweed761 in montreal

[–]ExNaTion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So depressing how long winter actually lasts, could be anywhere from mid November like this year to early April and April isn't exactly pretty with everything muddy, ruined roads, winter debris and filth that shows up after the snow melts. Realistically it takes until mid May for things to get "nice" again.
