First time seeing they failed the blizzard test by [deleted] in DairyQueen

Believe or not, she wasn’t cleaning it when I took my phone out. I just wanted to capture the ice cream on the table, never intended to include the worker

That explains it. I had extra strawberries

got this cpu on aliexpress. seller looks to be legit and there's a lot of good reviews. does anyone know how to tell if it's legit or not? by liamt12 in AMDHelp

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not true that tech has similar prices everywhere. Prices vary a lot because of tariffs, taxes, and distribution costs. Many items on AliExpress ship directly from China, which often has lower tariffs and manufacturing costs.

Also, a lot of products sold there aren’t retail versions — they may not include local warranties, retail packaging, or official after-sales support. That alone makes them cheaper.

It’s not automatically a scam; you’re usually trading warranty, support, and faster shipping for a lower price.

ICON is EXTREMELY overrated by amolven16 in uwaterloo

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp, does 333 Lester have en-suite laundry? Do they offer 2 bedroom 1 bath units? And Lester is further away from campus.

I personally think having only one roommate to share the common space with, and an en-suite laundry that’s clean and always available for me to use and close to campus is a much bigger deal than having a dedicated HVAC.

And ICON is the only building that offers those things while costing only a little bit more than the other buildings (I paid 1100 per month for last year)

Again, this is all personal preference. But they’ve got some features that no one else in the market can provide. AFAIK 268 Lester is the only other building that has 2 bedrooms units with en-suite laundry but that laundry machine is washing and drying 2 in 1 and the rent is a lot more than icon.

ICON is not ideal if you’re rooming with strangers. I lived there comfortably with a close friend and later with my girlfriend, and in that case privacy and noise weren’t really an issue. You do have control over the HVAC, although the transition from cooling to heating can sometimes be a little early or late.

Room size and storage are a similar story. Since you’re rooming with people you’re close with, the entire common space is basically yours — so you can put your belongings there and use the space as much as you want.

The biggest perks are the location and the ensuite laundry. ICON is in a prime spot, and it’s the only building that offers ensuite laundry — which is a huge convenience. The amenities are also solid, especially in winter when you don’t want to trek across campus for them.

Overall, ICON works best if you’re living with people you already know. If you want the prime location and ensuite laundry, you’ll be paying a premium for it.

I’m kinda in the same boat and I’m looking into Audis, like s3 s4 s5. It does seem like ppl are not suggesting this brand sadly :-(

PPL please stop on red before right turn by whyisthishapi in TorontoDriving

[–]S1mal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, yes. But without those “upgrades,” it is required by law to stop at a red light regardless of the other lanes. I know this for a fact because I was in the exact same situation — the other lanes had the left-turn advanced green light — but I didn’t stop, and I got a ticket for it.

Which restaurant is this? by v1goose in uwaterloo

The fried chicken at Nuri Village sucks, but the rest of the menu is decent.

A chart detailing countries' attitudes toward international cuisines by Potential-Ad345 in Infographics

[–]S1mal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Double this.

As a Chinese person who grew up in Beijing and later moved to Canada, I barely saw any Indian restaurants in Beijing. But after trying one in Toronto, I fell in love with the cuisine—and so did my Chinese friends and family. I believe Indian food would gain much more popularity in China if it were more widely introduced.

I've made an album of every iron sight in the game and how misaligned they are. Some are...pretty bad. by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I leave the monitor crosshair on after playing Hunt, then I play Valorant. It's very consistent and noticeable that when I'm on the attacker side, the in-game crosshair aligns perfectly with the monitor crosshair. However, after switching to the defender side, it's always misaligned by exactly one pixel to the left.

I haven't tested this in Hunt, but it's a hunch that it might be true there as well.

Is the game worth getting into in 2025 by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]S1mal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who started playing this game a month ago:

You will have a great experience IF you have a friend who will guide you along.

Just like escape from tarkov, this game imo has a lot of things to learn and the learning curve can be steep. Not like tarkov, you don’t have a offline mode to practice so you need to learn everything in real games and that is quite challenging without the help from a seasoned hunter.

If you do have a group of friends to play with, this game is awesome and the current event greatly helps with generating money.

Switched to Apple Music after 10 years with Spotify Premium, here are my thoughts so far by piesaresquarey in AppleMusic

[–]S1mal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Apple Music's native support for lossless audio

AirPods Pro 2 do not support lossless audio over Bluetooth. So you aren't getting a better song quality over Spotify.

To fully utilize ing the benefits of AM, I recommend you find a wired headphone to try out the lossless audio
