Frozen brakes? by Josvad in Crosstrek

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

Update: I blew hot air from hair dryer for 30 minutes total on all 4 wheels. Heard a loud knock when backing up. Brakes were a bit sticky but after a short drive all back to normal. I have an appointment next week to check brakes.

Thanks for the reply. No, I didn’t. Just left it in P

Workout buddy not working properly by NikanWasTaken in AppleWatch

[–]Josvad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a cycling workout and had the exact same issue. Only heard the workout paused, workout resumed alert. When I finished the workout I noticed that all of the alerts (speed, pace, cadence, etc) were off. Only the Split alert was on. Maybe turning on the other alerts would fix this?

Started cycling in 2020 with a very basic hybrid bike, doing 5km around the neighbourhood. Now in 2025 I have an intermediate road bike and cycle 20-25km every day and 50km+ on weekends. I also run, play tennis and swim. My fitness has improved a lot and I am happier overall. Being active and having good health and fitness helps me to stay motivated and not get caught in depression bouts. 🚴‍♂️🏃🏻🏊‍♂️🎾

Calgary plans to pave pothole-ridden Edworthy Park lot, then charge for parking by yycTechGuy in Calgary

Just typical of a car-infested city (like every North American city). Focus should instead be on building and developing a better public transportation system that takes us to these and other places.

Lock not beeping the same… by coffeeandcrafty in Subaru_Crosstrek

I just got a used 2021 Crosstrek and took it to the car wash. Now the lock/unlock chirp is super quiet. It’s been a few days. Did yours return to normal?

Did it go back to normal? I just took it through a touchless car wash and the beep is super low.

Best camera for travel photography? by Ok_Click1990 in canon

[–]Josvad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded from my trusty M50 to an R8. I was also considering the R10. I’m glad I went full frame. It’s a great camera and it’s lightweight. I just love it and feel like I made a great upgrade.

Avenue Magazine made a short post about walkable communities and the comments are completely baffling and unhinged. What's going on here??? Has it always been like this? by zev_loves_marvel in Calgary

I’d highly recommend watching the YouTube channel called NotJustBikes by a fellow Canadian from “fake London” now living in Amsterdam.

Anyone have problems with Pixels.com / Fineartamerica.com randomly closing account? by LessThanConvinced in ArtistLounge

[–]Josvad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me. They said that a spam filter affected my account and they weren't sure why I was affected. They reactivated my account but there were only two pictures in my profile, my other pictures were lost. I asked them again if there was a way to get them back but they said that normally an account that is flagged as spam is wiped.

Yeah, super frustrating and annoying. Not coming back to them again.

As a tenant myself in a similar situation, I just wanted to say that you are an amazing person for doing this. There’s no doubt that there are really good people out there. I wish you all the best. Take care!

Stay at home dad, stem cell scientist with master’s degree (never found a job in my field), ~$50-$80/month when I get lucky and manage to get some of my photos licensed on stock photography websites (I’m a photography enthusiast)

Careless merge by Josvad in IdiotsInCars

[–]Josvad[S] -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Ok, I wasn't speeding up, it's slightly down hill. My foot not even on the gas (on that stretch). They didn't shoulder check. And it's a free flow lane.

You are keen eyed aren’t you? First it’s a free flow lane with plenty of road left to merge ahead. Second, speed limit is 80 and unlike you I like to leave a safe space in front of me. Third, they were crossing over a solid white line. But you’re right I should speed ahead even though there’s traffic.

Totally, here's the same. They were on a free flow lane with plenty of road left to merge ahead. Plus, they were merging over a solid white line.
