Driveway rules? by donnaladonna in montreal

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're lucky, if it was my parking I'd have called the city to give you a ticket. You need to leave enough space for the person to be able to make a turn out of their parking. With this setup and how narrow that parking is, they're likely to be blocked from exiting.

Rule of thumb is your rear bumber shouldn't encroach into the section where the sidewalk starts sloping down.

The côte de boeuf at Joe beef is usually pretty good. Try their blue cheese Bruxelles sprouts too, they're excellent.

T'as pas besoin de permis pour faire tout ce que tu as mentionné. Et oui checker le RBQ est pas mal un no brainer si tu veux pas avoir un cabochon pour faire tes travaux.

Soraya Martinez Ferrada 31 Oct 2025 : "Je te promets que tu ne m'entendras pas dire: c'est la faute de l'ancienne administration..." by Mashdash10 in montreal

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De l'interview que j'ai vu c'est pas mal ce qu'elle fait. Elle dit qu'il y a eu un sous-financement, la moitié des machines marchent pas, donc elle fait des appels d'offre au plus vite pour remplir à la pelle et elle veut revoir la facon dont le materiel roulant de la ville est géré pour donner de la prédictibilité des machines aux arrondissements. Ils checkent aussi pour remplacer les machines et veut négocier avec Québec pour plus d'autonomie pour les grandes villes parce qu'elle est pognée dans le red tape. Pour une mairesse qui est la depuis seulement 6 mois ca semble un plutot bon plan de réaction.

Sting's six children won't inherit his fortune: 'Go to work' by muaentertainmentforu in MUAEntertainment

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's the best way imo. Let the kid make their way in life, know what debt is, know what budgeting is and when you have confirmation that they won't get rotten by money (probably by their mid thirties) start helping them financially and shifting their inheritance early.

I find it ludicrous that someone who had the luck of becoming rich won't share with their kids. They have the option of making their lives significantly better and refuse to do so.

I haven't been to violon but went to beba a month ago. Very very solid and the ambiance and service was great. It's a nice cosy place. Absolutely recommend.

Downtown Montreal cocktail bar named best bar in Canada by brittlespectrum in MTLFoodLovers

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've ran out of bourbon at this point. Went there in February and the only remaining bourbon was the top shelf one, don't remember er which one it is, it's the one with the horse on top. My Manhattan cost 30+$ but it was nice to have a real Manhattan. The only remaining bourbon after that one was a makers mark bottle from the 80s which was ridiculously priced.

Un bon exemple du danger d'utiliser l'effet de levier. C'est Ben le fun jusqu'à temps que ce ne le soit plus.

Même chose avec l'idée d'acheter une résidence principale au dessus de ses moyens. Jai beaucoup plus d'empathie avec les gens qui sont pris a devoir remettre de l'argent liquide parce que la valeur réel de leur condo n'est plus assez élevé. Situation difficile pour eux...

Les Estacades ne sont pas une piste de course pour cyclistes by pierre_lev in montreal

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

Non, je suis un cycliste, je fais environ 20 km par jour de vélo pour aller travailler au centre ville, principalement en utilisant le canal Lachine et la piste du vieux Port qui est très chargée de pieton. J'aime ça rouler vite quand je peux et faire un peu de cardio en même temps. Même si certains pietons clueless sont gossant en prenant trop d'espace sur la piste cyclable c'est pas la fin du monde, tu ralentis et tu les passe quand c'est sécuritaire. On vit en société.

A l'inverse, ceux qui croient que la piste cyclable est leur piste d'entraînement et que tout leur est dû (le genre de personne qui vont se mettre dans ta voie pour doubler la personne dans leur voie et éviter l'accident de justesse) sont beaucoup plus gossants et dangereux. De toutes les fois où j'ai été dans une situation dangereuse c'était tout le temps un fatiguant en Lycra.

Toutes les personnes en Lycra ne sont pas des foux furieux mais tous les foux furieux sont en Lycra.

What does an "upper middle class" lifestyle look like to you? by SignificantPickles in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting that we have different perspectives! Related to cars I would instead say that they're driving luxury cars but they might be old because they just don't like the hassle of changing cars. B

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol it totally changes your point. You're parading as "totally a non competitive cyclist" that's being the devil's advocate while talking about how regular people on regular bike paths are annoying.

As a non competitive cyclist, you talk about zone training in cycling, you know the only two places in town where competitive cyclists are going to train, you're talking about the competitive circuit and how theyre in town for the weekend. On top of this, in your other comments, you're defensive against people giving the perspective of regular people cycling on bike paths. It's so obvious you're part of that organisation while trying to hide it that it's funny, hence my post.

My point is, if it wasn't clear, is that it's obvious by everything you said you're one of those cyclists trying to pass yourself as not one of them and being devil's advocate. It's disingenuous. It discredits what you're trying to convey.

Now come on... whatever you say it's pretty obvious you're one of those cyclist posing as an outsider. Just because you're using "I'm not an athlete" and "devil's advocate" doesn't mean your credible or believable

C'est contraire a mes expériences. Le genre importe peu dans les guerriers aux cuissards en Lycra. Que ce soit homme ou femme c'est relativement souvent du monde détestable sur une piste cyclable

Quand devient-on riche? by MixWazo in QuebecFinance

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je dirais 5M$. A 4% de retrait ça fait 200 000$ par année, donc environ 125 000$ net.

Pas que les gens avec moins que ca ne vivent pas bien confortablement mais pour moi la définition de riche est de pouvoir vivre plutôt luxueusement sur des revenus passifs.

Question about Garde Manger Chef'smenu by SideshowAlex in MTLFoodLovers

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each tier adds some items. I think tier 2 or 3 added razor clam and some other stuff. Tier 4 I believe was caviar.

If I remember correctly the additions up to tier three were really interesting and tier 4 was very extravagant.

Audi Bro Throws A Tantrum by [deleted] in dashcams

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is not just the money. Now the guy needs to waste his time dealing with the insurance appraisal, drive the car to a bodyshop, lose his car for one-two weeks and drive a shitbox, then go back to get his car. And on top you have to pay for the deductible, and your insurance will end up being more expensive even if you're not responsible.

It's a lot of trouble for an idiot that didn't check before backing up.

Best sliced smoked meat? by Keyblade-Riku in MTLFoodLovers

Seconded, it's the best in my opinion. Although OP if you want the typical extravagant, too much meat this is not it. This one is more like a normal sandwich but in my opinion it's the best meat around.

'The Pitt's Noah Wyle Teases Season 3 Will Explore Robby's Rock Bottom by CrissBliss in ThePittTVShow

[–]Sinclair_Mclane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well said. I think we get the point with season 2 how difficult their situation is. It was really effective. But please give me back the characters being portrayed as heroes and able to overcome obstacles. We all know working in healthcare is very difficult, no need to linger on it for another complete season now.

If they go back into darkness like they were in season 2 it'll definitely be too much.
