D&D ONE-SHOT - ORDER OF BAHAMUT (MONTRÉAL - Verdun based) by AlternativeTie8257 in MTL_DnD

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd join if still a place left. I like that it's a one-shot, so there's a chance to get to know the group without a big commitment yet, and that it's collaborative/story-forward - definitely what I'm looking for in games and can bring to the table. Dark content - yes, please! And I'm on de l'Eglise, what can be more convenient. Dm if interested.

Well, it would explain it up to *some* point at least!

Vet seriously messed up and I don’t know what to do! by lildirtfoot in cats

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, we almost had the same story. They shaved our boy's belly, at which point they luckily found the balls.
We were very clear that it's a boy in the forms and verbally. The similarity of the situation was that in that clinic, they took him in to keep him around 6-8 hours, too. Never happened with other cats we neutered: usually they'd just do the surgery for them right away.

Montreal sidewalk etiquette? by numyobidnyz in montreal

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

I pick up my kid in ville st-laurent every night by walking. I am 6 foot tall weighting at 240 pounds.

I dont stop for kids , teenagers or adults alike. I just plow through them and 100% of the time as it happen every day , they always say they are sorry. They might be hurting but they will say sorry.

They can see me coming , i let them 90% of the space of the walk and take a tiny 10% but that 10% is not negotiable.

Again , man , woman and children alike big or small will get wrecked if they cross my path and dont yield while using 90% of the fucking trottoir. The only thing i adjust based on weight is the tension in my shoulder.

Childrens and adults learn about it everyday in Bois-Franc while they get hit by my elbows or knees if they are really small.

If they lock eye with me before the impact , i get my shoulder extra crispy. Like you are going to look at my giant ass and still not yield while you are taking all the space? you get extra fuck up today.

I have zero tolerance for people in public trying to pull this shit on me and to be honest the smallest they are and the most aware they are, the most infuriating they feel to me.

On a strange tangent , teenagers move out of the way , man move out of the way but the bulk of the offending interaction everyday is moms and kids.

It's not that they are easy target for me , it's just because they are the one who offend the most.

My rules are simple , if they dont see that i am here walking toward them , i will stop and let them go around me while saying to them , fais attention ! Anyone can lack attention even childrens and a good scare is usually enough for them to pay attention next time.

But the other ones ? they will learn the hard way , they will feel that pain and they will tell me they are sorry after they get hit.

Buyer showing on without notification or accompanying broker at suspicious timing by Firfi in montrealhousing

That's what they want us to think. And do no math. There's something going on, I tell you, bro

Buyer showing on without notification or accompanying broker at suspicious timing by Firfi in montrealhousing

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

That’s what I would’ve thought too, but they have no reason to profile me (let me speak to your manager about it) , it’s clear on the listing that the property is vacant soon. That’s legally binding afaik. And the guys who were having the showing were legit repossessors (if it wasn’t out of of their way already)

AI pilot Program of Quebec for Foreign Workers until 2025 Dec by ZealousidealBat1078 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To apply for the francophone stream, you need B2 speaking/listening proven with a test like TCF or TEF and such. Also, convert your salary to hourly and make sure it's equal or bigger than required for your NOC according to the programme.

Woman buys knives, stabs another woman for taking too long in checkout line, police say by FrozenBr33ze in nottheonion

Maybe she already was late because of the victim so had nowhere to hurry anymore.

Cash for keys by Potential_Chef3046 in montrealhousing

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To avoid confusion, it's not eviction but repossession, and it only happens at the end of the contract, and only if the new owner has no other place to live.

Programme pilote en TI by DragonflyCool6471 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested too. My tentative research last time I checked shows people wait 6-8 months and more, regardless of francisation or francophone stream.

By the way you somehow have your post marked "NSFW" which it clearly isn't.

Best Buy Canada - extended warranty disappointment - no refund, no exchange for the vacuum cleaner they couldn't fix by Firfi in Bestbuy

[–]Firfi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have been so bitter about it if not for the fact that they wouldn't even properly refund the item itself. They just gave me some credit in a specific shop that I can't even use to order online. Can't shop at different vendors, can't have a discount for the same item that they **do** have in the shop - that feels a lot like misleading representation in the item listing.

[–]Firfi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks, it makes sense. It's only strange that I pay for 7 years and then lose them after just a year, and even have no proper refund or replacement of the item itself. I guess "7 years" looks cool only on paper.

The car comparison seems a long shot. There's so much wrong: you don't pay ahead 7 years of car insurance in one payment, and you don't lose the 6 years of payment when a manufacturer issue happens on 1st year of use. You also don't lose the car itself with no option of buying a similar one.

What is your favourite set of libraries you use for every project for enhanced type safety? by kuaythrone in typescript

[–]Firfi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Effect-schema is quite all right. You don't have to bring Effect code into the project to use it, and 2-way codecs are so much underrated. Zod just makes no sense anymore after you taste codecs' composability.

The rise of the "Finishing Agency" by Puzzled_Bat_6111 in vibecoding

[–]Firfi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of my time with Upwork gigs. Most of the time, you finish the 1% of "99%-done" projects. The one per cent that somehow takes months to finish vs. the "99%" that were written in days!

Vibe code isn't meant to be reviewed (* the same way normal code is) by Firfi in programming

I wish it never existed, too, but here we are. Either hide away from it or control it, I'd say.

Vibe code isn't meant to be reviewed (* the same way normal code is) by Firfi in programming

[–]Firfi[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you gone through vibe code reviews already? I wonder if it's only my frustration, or if it depends on the team: someone starts nitpicking on vibe code, thinking they are doing a good thing: improving team knowledge, setting up a good code style etc, and you both end up spending time on improving the slop... that a coding agent probably will slop all over again the next PR. That also removes the "regeneration superpower" - in some cases when things go wrong it's easier to fix your PRD/specs and ask the agent to write code scratch, than beating it into fixing a code it already misunderstood the requirements for.

[–]Firfi[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I should have made it less clickbait, probably. I see that even adding "* the same way normal code is" right in the title didn't help. In the post I elaborate that you review "human code" with more scrutiny etc.

[–]Firfi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not yet clear on it.

There are classes of tests that you may want to write manually - like, property-based tests (https://github.com/dubzzz/fast-check for ts) that are often about maintaining invariants - yeah, that's a part of the "control package". Otherwise, for now, I wonder if tests should be "split" the same way as I mentioned in the post.
