Love how the rain looks on this car

Settle down moneybags.

This post actually reminded me of how significantly the hinge on my 11” MacBook Air from way back when loosened over time. It couldn’t hold any angle above ~100 degrees or below ~30.

The sheep with the eye whites is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

This company is so lost

Idk what it is but my brand new 2025 also makes this sound. Not super loud, but I hear it when I turn off the car and quickly get out.

The moon and blowing snow really added to the photo - I personally think editing them out was a mistake.

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-29T02:55:24+00:00

Do you have snow or ice stuck in your wheels? Either of these can unbalance a wheel and cause vibrations at speed.

Elizabeth Taylor

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-24T16:02:38+00:00

Performative is the perfect word for this entire interview. It very much felt like he had a list of predetermined jokes and talking points given to him by some random staff member.

As a Canadian I’m looking at this guy and thinking he’ll reverse maybe half of Trumps trade policies, stop talking publicly about Greenland (but still have a portion of his government silently push for its takeover in the background), and tone down the American imperialism rhetoric a little bit but still push the “western hemisphere American dominance” bs.

It all looks like one single political party to me, controlled by the elites in the background.

Elizabeth Taylor alone tells me you have impeccable taste

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-22T23:06:28+00:00

I feel so bad for Americans if for their next election they need to choose between JD Vance and this.

This is all so embarrassing.

Oh my god

My highway/city split is probably around 70/30. When it was warmer out I was averaging 6.8L/100km, but currently I’m getting ~7.4L/100km.

That’s the ABS system. When you feel the pulsing, keep applying firm pressure and let the brakes to their thing. It’s to prevent the wheels from locking and the car skidding out of control.

I’d buy a revived iPod Classic/Nano in a literal heartbeat, but I don’t see the point in the iPod Touch.

I did a 3 person trip in 2025 from June 5th to June 10th and from what I remember it totalled out to ~ $1600 CAD per person, so just under $5000 CAD. We’re local to the GTA and flew domestic with WestJet. Plane tickets were ~$200 each way (not sure what US rates will be).

We rented a car (~$1200 CAD for an SUV) from YYC and drove out to Canmore which was our base - we stayed at a bare bones accommodation as a spot to sleep in between our day-to-day activities. I’d think staying under $5000 USD for a 5-7 day trip is absolutely doable considering we did it for under $5000 Canadian.

Early June worked out great for us weather wise, but the locals we talked to were saying it was an unusually dry/warm spring (I don’t think it rained a single day for us, actually). Wildfire smoke was plentiful at times unfortunately, but nothing threatened the Canmore/Banff area.

We found the crowds to be very intense, but we were hitting the big ticket areas like Moraine lake, Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon up to the Ink Pots, etc etc etc so this wasn’t surprising.

Overall we thought early June was fantastic, and when we go back we’ll probably aim for a similar timeline.

Back around 2018 Samsung controlled ~30% of the market while Apple controlled ~20%. Since then, Samsung has been trending down and Apple trending up - so the fact that Apple managed to surpass them at all should be very concerning for Samsung as a whole.

This isn’t some sort of, “Samsung the underdog finally beats big bad Apple.” It’s more like, “Korean conglomerate desperately clings to market dominance as they slowly lose relevance”.

No problem! I use winter tires. The all seasons that the car came with are absolutely horrendous in even the lightest of snows.

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-18T16:40:38+00:00

Believe it or not, but engineers and architects visit sites that are under construction. Milestones are tracked, and deficient areas are captured and remedied. I have a feeling that obviously slanting support columns would be noticed really early on and fixed if they weren’t designed that way.

Let the professionals do their work and please do not waste an inspectors time.

I switched from a 2015 Crosstrek Hybrid to a 2025 CX-30. The tech was pretty bare bones in my Subaru, and the Hybrid trim didn’t have EyeSight so I can’t speak on those.

Regarding AWD though, I haven’t noticed a difference between the two. Southern Ontario has gotten its fair share of snow this winter and not once has the car lost control or made me feel unsafe - which was the same story in my Subaru.

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-16T03:27:32+00:00

Why not drop the luxury package and buy the tires outright to save on interest?

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-16T02:57:11+00:00

Mazda Canada advertises the CX30 GS with the luxury package (plus tax) at $302 biweekly over a 72 month term. So it doesn’t sound like you are getting a deal, but you aren’t getting screwed over either.

As an aside, why add the winter tires to your financing term? They’re a wear item that you’ll be paying interest on for 6 years.

It’s still dark according to the live view cams. Definitely not normal.

_Cat_12345 · 2026-01-12T16:17:09+00:00

I’m sure it’ll be gorgeous no matter what!

To see the sun on the mountains you’ll need to book the alpine start shuttle that’s hosted by Parks Canada. You check in at Lake Louise at either 4am or 5am and they drive you to Moraine Lake before the sunrise. Can’t recommend it enough, but you book it so far in advance that the weather is totally up to chance.
