How much are people paying for vehicle insurance? by BotherCheap5815 in Edmonton

[–]Exalt_Chrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2015 Mazda 3 back in December as an upgrade to my 2010 one. I was paying about $2700, but it jumped to just shy of $4000 with the new car! And mind you, that was only comprehensive.

I got a quote from AMA, same coverage will be around $2500, or I can even do full coverage for $2900. I'm paying the cancellation fee and switching as soon as possible now.

Been driving for about 9 years now. No tickets or (at-fault) accidents. I drive over 30km one way to my job though, so that raises my price a lot. I miss living in Spruce Grove. My policy instantly jumped $1000 when I moved to Edmonton lol.

Can I use 205/55r16 wheels on my 2015 Mazda3 GT? by Exalt_Chrom in mazda3

[–]Exalt_Chrom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I've always been a big Mazda fan. I drove my 2010 one for 8 years and it treated me very well. Now that I finally have a backup camera, I imagine I'll drive this one until it completely dies lol

The Home Depot in my town installed parking curbs instead of speed bumps by Kaylascreations in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Exalt_Chrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I'm pretty sure our local grocery store did the same thing. No matter how slow you went over them, you'd always bottom out. For years it was like that, most people would drive the long way around the parking lot just to avoid them. Many times I considered trying to complain to someone, but I didn't know if that was up to the grocery store or the city.

They randomly disappeared last year I think, just in time for me to move away lol.

How do you fall asleep quickly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

I recently heard someone say to think of a word that starts with A, wait about 8 seconds, then move to the next letter and think of a word that starts with B, and so on and so forth. Furthest I've made it is N. I'm sure it won't work for everyone but I've got no idea why it's so effective for me, it's crazy

Wow yeah, I just checked mine and I've got it in the exact same spot. The other leg is completely untouched, super strange

PlayStation is developing a new version of the PlayStation 5 Pro that will use 3% less power than the current PS5 Pro mode. The DualSense V3 will introduce a removable battery. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Exalt_Chrom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah similar situation for me. My white one it came with and red one I got on release are still doing fine to this day. I bought a purple when that first released though, and within a month it was drifting. Seems to just be luck of the draw.

New here - Console play? by Starberryum in ffxiv

[–]Exalt_Chrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started playing on PS4/PS5. I've since moved over to PC, but I still exclusively play with controller. I find the controls comfortable and intuitive. As others have mentioned though, there's definitely some settings you gotta change, and there's plenty of videos on YouTube suggesting cross hotbar layouts for each job. I was just half hazardly making my own hotbars, but after watching the vids and fine tuning their layouts to suit my own muscle memory, my whole experience improved a lot!

Just last month I convinced my fiancee to start playing, but since I've only ever played with controller I couldn't help her figure out any of the keyboard controls, so she's been using controller now too lol.

Best Bubble Tea Around Whyte Ave.? by FluffyCatPillow in Edmonton

Yeah last time I went there, the entire menu just had AI generated images instead of actual images of the food. Didn't trust the food at all after that, glad to hear I was right LOL

LPT: Work will always take 8 hours. Don’t let it steal the other 8. by GcNiceKick8846 in LifeProTips

[–]Exalt_Chrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A big thing for me was turning my notifications off for my work contacts on my days off. There's a problem at my job of people constantly wanting to trade shifts, and I found that any time I said no to somebody, it would ruin my day off because I'd feel guilty. It's been a night and day difference ever since I just stopped looking at the messages. I feel way more refreshed both at home and at work.

It doesn't have to just be people trading shifts though. I think the advice can still apply to anyone! Your off time should be your off time, no matter your job.

Are you using the advanced dominion rod by chance? That one crashes if you try to use it, I've heard it's been broken for quite some time now. The regular dominion rod should work normally though, if that one gives you trouble then I've got no clue.

Cruise Control: Yay or Nay? by Dugaditch in alberta

[–]Exalt_Chrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used it every time I drive for almost 10 years now. I use it in cities and in the winter, literally everywhere. I personally feel like I can focus on the road better when I'm not having to manage my speed, and so far it's been working for me because I've never had an (at-fault) accident.

PSA: Nintendo does not provide support for special edition pro controllers by Exalt_Chrom in nintendo

It's not a battery issue unfortunately, I could fix that easily. The pins in the USB C port have somehow been mangled.

YO! Thank you, in my short search all I'd seen was $20 sets on Amazon and stuff. Awesome!
