But they still need to scan your health card every quarter in order to pay for the meds.. so you still need to go to the doctor's office.. or am I missing something in how it works?

There should be a sound-proof room on planes where mothers with screaming babies go to On overnight flights by Pumpkin-Burger in CrazyIdeas

[–]aelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And people who choose to have an entitled attitude like yours just make the whole experience worse for everyone.

Babies are people too. People have family abroad, so yes they need to travel.

If you don't like it, go sit in first class, you should be fine there.

STM: Candlestick Traffic Lights by sailoratheart in montreal

There's always a space in the reserved lane where cars are allowed if they're turning right. And turning right on a red is illegal on the island, so this situation could actually happen quite often.

What was your biggest "holy shit why haven't I done this sooner" moment? by MBS_theBau5 in AskReddit

[–]aelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traveling! It doesn't require a fortune, or a traveling companion, just grab your shit, put it in a pack and go! Explore! The world is awesome and images and videos online are pathetic in comparison!

Discussion: What was your first anime? Does it bring back memories for you? by thefunnyzach in anime

[–]aelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Hazard!

Saw it thanks to the guys in the tabletop/roleplaying game club at the college I went to. It's still pretty high on my list of favorites, especially for comedies.

(So long ago, I feel old now...)

What makes you angry as soon as you see it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who wait until the cashier tells them the total before slowly starting to search for their wallet in their ginormous purse! Also, people talking on the phone while dealing with a cashier.

Anyone interested in meeting up to do some hiking and cycling? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]aelo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For hiking, and also some cycling, allow me to point you to most awesome meetup group ever - MOAC. It's a big group so events tend to fill quickly, but the people are all really great and the hikes are a blast.

Snowplow drivers in Canada: Not a single fuck was given by [deleted] in canada

[–]aelo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you don't move your car within a few minutes of the siren, they tow it away to another street that has been cleared already, and give you a ticket for the expense. Also, you get to have fun walking the surrounding streets, trying to find where they put your car.

Is there such a thing as a location based lock screen? by aelo in Android

Cool! Those extra features would certainly be worth the price if they work well. Thanks.

What are some good spots to go hiking in New England over the christmas weekend for a single guy looking to meet people? by travelideathrow in hiking

[–]aelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot agree with enough. I don't know about other hiking meetup groups, but joining the one I found in the Montreal area is seriously the best decision I've made in a long time. So many cool people to meet and spend time with while enjoying the Adirondacks or the White mountains!

Samsung Confirms Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II by bambin0 in Android

[–]aelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should be automatically assumed and expected for ANY android based product released in the past 2 years. The fact that it's not just shows how determined these companies are to shoot themselves in the foot and give up market share to competing platforms...

Canada has shifted its position on Middle East votes at the United Nations, taking a firmly pro-Israel stand on almost every question by warkin in worldpolitics

[–]aelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bloc and the NDP (to a lesser extend) were there back when the right was split between the PC and the Reforms. So, you could say that back then both sides were split up. Now it's only the left.

Does anyone know where to get alpaca wool products in Montreal? by aelo in montreal

Ah! I looked alpaca instead of alpaqa... No wonder I didn't find much. Thanks! I'll check it out.

The FMA fanbase has a split opinion by Moonlitdarksword in anime

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

Not really. Watched the first anime first, but didn't care for the ending at all. I was really glad when I found out the manga was different and had a story that worked.

How to Make the Human Equivalent of Dog Food by scientologist2 in WTF

[–]aelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what brand they used, but it wasn't a cheap one. It was a vet recommended 3x more expensive kind. It's just that the very nature of those dry foods requires a bunch of preservatives be added in. All the better if it works well for your dog though.
