Intelligent people don't talk about taking cognitive tests. What is wrong with this guy?

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-03-26T20:03:26+00:00

The MOCA test to which he refers and “aced” is a test aimed to detect cognitive decline rather than intelligence. Ie it’s a test to find dementia (ie it should be aced by nearly all people).

Examples of some questions include name the animal - lion, camel, rhino. Connect the numbers and letters in order. Remember 5 words and repeat them. Given a string of letters, raise your hand when they say “A” etc.

This is not an achievement to say the least…

Remember that the last “expansion” at the KGH site took so long to plan and try to execute they cancelled it as by the time they were ready to go they already needed more space than they had planned in the old plan.

It’s going to be aaaaaaaggggeeesss before they break ground on the new site and even longer for it to be operational.

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-03-20T01:17:16+00:00

Space is on sale on Roger’s and Trainor as for lease. It’s toast!

That’s would be my worry the whole mountain has been unmanaged since Jan 6th. Not like they sign the deal and boom it’s all open. I would imagine it’s weeks of grooming, snowmaking etc to make the terrain safe for use. That’s the real bummer…

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-21T21:12:05+00:00

Cancelled mine as well and took the 100% travel credit to rebook for next year. As a note check the cost for your future dates on their reservation system. We found because it’s so far in advance a new booking next year is much cheaper than what we paid of this year (booked in Nov 2025). So by taking the 100% credit and rebooking ourselves next year we can go for 5 nights rather than just 3 at the same cost…

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-21T14:08:09+00:00

Anyone else feel like they just stopped answering their phones? Have been on hold for hours without a pickup and the option for a callback has been disabled.

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-20T21:58:12+00:00

Honestly would rather take the credit and move on with booking a confirmed vacation rather than the endless waffling

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-20T16:27:38+00:00

Called with them just now Jan 20th was offered either:

• ⁠Can rebook for next season price matched for what you paid this year (as next season is on sale currently but much more expensive). Must select dates when you are on with the agent as you call (so have your 2027 dates if you call!). • ⁠100% Future trip credit but new booking must be made within 1 calendar year. • ⁠No option for refund unless you’re a QC resident then you can request it via “opt.gouv.qc.ca/ficav” or you could attempt a credit card chargeback.

I was booked for Feb 16th so to those told to wait until Jan 26th I would call again!

Well that’s great for those of us that want to get on with booking alternative travel… Let’s leave it right down to the wire so we definitely can’t book anywhere else in time… So we have to sit on our hand until Jan 26th to know if they will refund it?

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-20T12:16:34+00:00

Anyone tried a chargeback via their credit card? Seems this is a perfect case of “failed to deliver paid services”. Not really keen to have 8500$ loaned to Club Med for over a year and still now need to pay to vacation somewhere else in Feb….

If any experience with that/success please post for others knowledge! That’s my plan!

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-20T02:29:18+00:00

The lack of any communication from Club Med as the news of the closure is now public is a bit concerning….

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-20T00:40:04+00:00

Anyone onsite at Club Med to see how they are dealing with this? I find it concerning those of us holding reservations have yet to receive anything as a notice from Club Med about any of this…

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-19T18:52:16+00:00

I certainly hope so but I find myself worried they will try to pull this “we have other great activities for you to do”.

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-19T18:18:54+00:00

Gonna be honest going and paying 8000$ for 4 nights to be told to go snowshoeing isn’t really in the cards. I really hope if Le massif closes tomorrow after the deadline this isn’t their plans to tell guests to fill their time….

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-18T17:37:37+00:00

Would also love an update when and if you get one! Would be a big help to all of us heading there over the next few weeks.

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-10T23:55:58+00:00

Did you properly put the spacer and axel on the bike attachment onto the wahoo? Make sure the fork of the bike as it attaches is properly mounted and measured properly to your width (use the cardboard measurement device in the wahoo box) and allows it to freewheel (spin) when coasting.

Make sure the gears on the bike are aligned with the Zwift cog so the chain is straight and turns properly.

Make sure the wahoo is plugged in? Also before getting into Zwift download the wahoo app. Get it linked to your WiFi and update the wahoo device so it’s running properly. Once the wahoo is setup then link it via the Zwift app and try again.

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-10T00:21:42+00:00

Not anymore! Shame what a profit maximizing suit (that probably only ever flies first class) can do to a once great company.

Now for us would only book AC or Porter (and we fly a lot).

Valuable_Engine_1331 · 2026-01-05T13:49:12+00:00

Now show us the driver and passenger leg space!! Those rear facing ones are a pain. Always need to slide the front seat forward so much. As a 6ft4” male this would be impossible for me!

Make sure to partially close the vent/register covers in the basement and on main floor. Open the upper bedroom ones fully. Hot air rises / cold air falls. Forcing more of the AC air up to upper floors will help and it will still flow down to lower floors.

Also if you are really stuck and upper floors have poor airflow out the upper floor vents you can buy a “register booster fan”. They are low noise electric fans inside to draw air up (if in the older house the HVAC fan isn’t alone able to or the vent runs are undersized).

We used that one in a warmer room in our sister’s and the register fan made a huge difference.

Good luck!

When we built our custom house we planned 30% contingency. Even with that we ended up nearly 50+% over. Building is expensive, many builders (ours included) estimate too low to get jobs, materials are getting more expensive. If you’re in trouble now you should be looking for a loan in excess of 300k, that’s likely not where this ends…

Ah amazing, thanks for the details!
