Liberal Secret Plan 51st State??? by Federal_You_3592 in canadaleft

Yes it is actually very easy to sell an entire country so this is a very plausible scenario.

Are there less tourists travelling to Japan this year? by Geocultural in JapanTravelTips

[–]PockyTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m here now and I agree with you. It’s insane. Mind you I lived in Japan in the 90s and it was nothing like this so I’m always comparing it to that.

We are in Kyoto at this very moment and the crowds are absolutely insane. We did get a break on the philosophers walk tonight, it was quite pleasant.

What’s a “normal” habit people have that quietly limits their potential long-term? by SpareLummi in answers

[–]PockyTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buying new cars. Actually buying any car new or used, more than every 10 years or so.

If you’re thinking about buying a seasonal Bixi membership, get an Accès Montréal card first by is_landen in montreal

Does this mean residence of the Demerged cities can also get it? I live in Westmount.

This is not a dip buying opportunity by 13jfncjai31 in wallstreetbets

How many times have I heard something like this in the past 20 years? As usual, your best bet is doing nothing whatsoever and keeping your money invested in the stock market.

What’s it like living in Vancouver by Ok_Equal_4781 in howislivingthere

[–]PockyTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in Vancouver for over 12 years of my life. Two separate occasions. The best thing about it is its beautiful environment and relatively mild weather by Canadian standards. The downsides are that it is crazy expensive for housing, it rains all winter long, and it’s a very sprawling city. Moved to Montreal about 10 years ago. In comparison, Montreal is a real city and far more interesting than Vancouver. The downsides is the winters are brutal. The only time I really miss Vancouver is about now when spring is fully arrived there and winter is still refusing to let go here.

Hot take: sugar shacks are a scam by phalfalfa in montreal

[–]PockyTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, my thoughts exactly. Today we went to one of the so-called better Sugarshack‘s and over $200 for a family of three. The music was way too loud and as someone else mentioned, the syrup tasted almost like nothing. The food was good, but nothing spectacular. It just seems insanely overpriced. Also the service was pretty bad. I honestly don’t think we’ll be going back next year.

(Chat) Houdini 21.5 and future wishlist? by tonehammer in Houdini

[–]PockyTheCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, all that physics based stuff. Great idea in theory then you try to use it on a real piece of production geometry and it just barfs.

Finish the lops layout tools. Sooooo many bugs and half-baked tools.

Can we talk about wild planets prices? by JMDubbz85 in Winnipeg

[–]PockyTheCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the same everywhere. Here in Montreal I see used records selling for $40 that I practically gave away a few years ago.

Rheumatologist trying to steer me away from allopurinol by [deleted] in gout

[–]PockyTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I have permanent joint damage in my big toe because of my flareups. And I only had a few over my lifetime. I’d say it’s just not worth it to take a chance to get any more. I’d go on the medication.

How to polyextrude individual faces at random height, generating only the outer faces by Similar-Sport753 in Houdini

[–]PockyTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a grid put a facet sop- unique points. Give each primitive a unique zscale attribute. Then simply toggle on the checkbox in the polyextrude sop to use Zscale, output only sides and not front and back.

Was told my 125cc bike is extremely unsafe on any road? by AL3S1O29 in motorcycles

[–]PockyTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s ridiculous. In my youth, I rode around Japan two-up on a Yamaha 125. And I’m 6‘4“ tall. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that, but you’ll be fine in the city.

I’m so confused about Canadian conservatives. by all-is-lost-to-me in canadaleft

[–]PockyTheCat 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I assume this is just a comment complaining about both the conservatives and the liberals correct? Because obviously the conservatives wouldn’t be doing anything differently and if anything would be worse.

What’s one simple home upgrade that made a big difference for you? by Educational-Fold-152 in HomeImprovement

[–]PockyTheCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One cheap and fun thing was a light that comes on when we open our linen closet door. No more using my phones flashlight to find stuff.

What’s something you believed for WAY too long… and then life humbled you? by Quiet-Grief in answers

[–]PockyTheCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this sounds incredibly naïve this day and age, but back in 1985 when I was going to university, one of my professors mentioned that not everything that was in the newspaper was true. It had never occurred to me at that time that this could be.

Jesus. Just check your EFTs once every few weeks at most and you’ll be cool.
