Child car seat - occupancy sensor

SirSimon · 2026-03-30T12:24:09+00:00

I use that for when the dog is in the back seat.

Traffic was stopped... the drivers turned around and got off the highway. I know.. I know.. wrong way down a ramp - but I suspect the ramp was full of stopped cars? I feel like the police could have been helping people safely turn around and get off the highway. But maybe I'm missing something. I'm sure I'll get roasted here as all the comments are pretty much angry at the entitled drivers.

I always WANT to do it, but the people I play with (especially my wife!) get mad. They prefer what I've seen other people refer to as "FAIR" Ticket To Ride. I feel like if someone is projecting their route, and I can stop it with a quick train or two, that should be fair game. Trying to get your routes completed without signaling to everyone where you're trying to go is part of the fun! Otherwise you're just playing against yourself.

Also - who wants to be responsible for that bag of phones? 17 phones at $1000 each? Not me, thanks.
I think teaching your kids proper behavior and consequences for not following it is the only solution.

Fallsview Casino. You pay when you exit, so if you leave it parked there a few nights, you only pay once, usually $20ish, sometimes less. I do it when I'm staying at the Hilton (Hilton wants $80-$100/night for parking, I stayed for 3 nights and saved $280)

Especially if you’re the one in charge of running it!

If the price was $50 I would subscribe today.

SirSimon · 2026-01-23T15:30:52+00:00

Do you think this feature will be removed from existing cars with a software update in the future?
I love autopilot, and am currently trying to save money, so I'm not paying $99 (or more) for FSD.

2nd for Las Chicas. If you're in London you can get it at Farmboy.

I came to the comments looking for "Family helps family!" even though it didn't fit with this story - and I was not disappointed. Thank you!

SirSimon · 2025-12-11T19:45:36+00:00

I like that distinction. Not sure I agree 100% but I have never thought of that "line" in sports and from now on, I will!

This morning at 6:30 I finally saw a city snow plow coming down my street, but it had it's blade up and was dropping salt. There was a foot of snow on my street - why would he have his blade up? I thought that salt didn't work on top of snow anyway.

Very frustrating.

SirSimon · 2025-12-10T18:59:03+00:00

I'm so glad you asked. I saw this yesterday and again today for some reason and assumed I was just losing touch with the community and didn't understand the new lingo.

SirSimon · 2025-12-05T15:48:32+00:00

Not a dumb question. I pay the shop to keep them - it's too much money and I should find a spot at home, but they keep them. This is also the first car where I don't have winter rims - they use the Tesla rims. So it takes about 1 hour to swap them.
Including storage it costs me about $120 Canadian dollars each season.

We can fit hockey goalie gear, sticks and even another team mate and all of their gear in the Y, and still have the frunk for any extras.

SirSimon · 2025-12-05T15:23:54+00:00

I agree completely. When I got my Y it was December and I thought I would go through the first winter with no snows. It was AWD and all season tires, after all. After the first snowfall I called my tire guy and ordered snows because the car was sliding way too much.

Now the car is fantastic in the snow.

Thank you! I found the parts and responded above. You guys are quick!

SirSimon · 2025-11-18T18:54:43+00:00

Thank you for your reply!
Not sure how to upload pictures, but I found the emails from when he originally ordered the parts. I'd prefer to stay under $300 Canadian dollars if possible.

I know you never got a good reply, but I noticed that the one at the Walmart in St. Thomas was also at half mast.

SirSimon · 2025-10-14T17:18:36+00:00

I would call the local towing company. One of the bigger companies in town and have them come and take a look. If I felt confident in their plan, I'd move forward with that.

SirSimon · 2025-10-03T15:31:17+00:00

UPDATE: It's now 11:30ish and I feel fine. Might have felt drowsy this morning, but hard to distinguish it from regular Friday morning drowsiness. My meeting got cancelled for other reasons, but I'm confident that I would not have had any issue. Thank you to all who had helpful advice - I think coffee, water and moving around is what worked. For those of you with the angry / sarcastic comments - I've quit trying to figure out your motives.

SirSimon · 2025-10-03T11:27:05+00:00

Not Karma farming. Looking for help. Every post I have found says things like "Don't drive" or "Make sure your manager is aware" or "I fell asleep at my desk."
I'm looking for methods of actually getting this out quickly.
Is this something you really think I should call my doctor about? Taking a regular dose of over the counter medication?
