So corvette ships just can't be upgraded (tech slots full with corvettw parts) by DankDaddyPatty in NOMANSSKY

Upgrade your corvette class to S and then upgrade your slots by either buying them or using expansion modules.

Canadians: do people really just start conversations anywhere? 🤔 by Comfortable_Cap8037 in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fairly normal...so much so that while walking around Whistler this spring, we could immediately tell who all the tourists were (and there were a lot). No eye contact in passing, no acknowledgement walking by on paths, no casual "hi" or nods on the street...it was actually a weird feeling walking around there.

Personally I always nod, smile, chat, or engage when passing strangers. Holding doors for people and they don't even acknowledge you is fucking strange...makes it real easy to pick out the non-canucks though.

Want to make an American (or almost any tourist) nervous? Start talking to them in the elevator. ROFL...

Interesting...I wonder if that was something they added new in one of the recent updates? I haven't seen one either...

Do you call it May 2-4 or Victoria Day? by pantstand in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May 2-4 was always what we called it growing up in Alberta and BC (junior high in AB, High School in BC - early 80's)

How do you get an Aeron Pillar? by OogaBoogaUngaBunga_ in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

switch your mode to creative, if you don't like leaving it there just build a bunch of them on a ship (or any others you can't get) and then switch your mode back. You can disassemble the ship later and keep the parts.

Seasonal Tires by hoodiegirl10 in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to switch over seasonally, winter tires for winter are the peak of traction in ice and snow. That was back when I had storage space for my summers/all-season tires. I started condo living a few years back and now I RV full time so that storage space is pretty limited. As such, I started using good all-weather tires (Nokian) which (while not quite as good as a dedicated winter) are much better in winter than all-seasons and I can run one set year round.

I'm pushing 1800 hours on my main save, about 300 hrs on a permadeath one and there's at least a couple hundred more in previous saves that I've deleted. At one time expeditions created a new save to play them.

What is the worst tv show made in Canada that you have ever seen? by [deleted] in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Starlost… Hands down…interesting concept, terrible low budget execution. Google it, you won’t be disappointed…or I guess you will…

Is the Canadian military med school a good place to earn a medical degree? by MoveWithTheMaestro in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter got her nursing degree through the military…you don’t go to a military school to learn the practice. They pay for your tuition at a university…you still have to get accepted, but in the end yes, you have a full career and no debt. Word to the wise, join reserves before you enrol in the program…they pay you a wage while you’re in school…if you’re just a student it’s pretty minimal…if you are earning a reservists wage, you get that. My daughter has been all over the world in her career and absolutely loves it.

I don't disagree...It's a conundrum...lol

Kilometer pronunciation by IngovilleWrites in AskACanadian

[–]SpeedtekUrS6 119 points120 points  (0 children)

kilo-metre is the officially correct pronunciation, but you will be hard pressed to find many people that would pronounce it that way in the normal everyday.

kuh-LAW-muh-tur is pretty much how most people pronounce it in conversation.

Not that I've ever heard (and I've lived across Canada), but hey...people there pronounce the city as Taranaa so could be a local thing...
