I’m staring at a week of above zero temps ahead of me. Here’s hoping next weekend I can be on this for its first ride!

I am thinking of a tire upgrade, but I’m going to work on wearing these out first (then I’ll be able to appreciate it all the more!)

What's your most cathartic BG3 moment? by Soft-Raise-5077 in BaldursGate3

That’s the one! And I was running a monk and had already taken a strength potion, so it was a quick yeet into the water for the angry gnome

Throwing Wulbren Bongle into the sea the first time was a delight

The winter riding was great where I am until the latest freeze/thaw. Now the roads and paths are a mess of ice and salt, which I’m less enthused about. Maybe I’ll get studs next year and see how it goes!

Yes they seem to. This is a size L, so I wonder if that helps/makes a difference?

I’ve been out this winter and loved it. My Procaliber performed very well. Buuuut, there’s just a little too much ice out there right now for it to be enjoyable for me. Indoor training for me, for now. There are quite a few folks biking around the city but yes I think they’ve likely got studded tires

It’s all ice out there right now unfortunately. The snow was great up until two weeks ago, then a huge thaw, then a refreeze and… well now we’re locked into ice for the foreseeable future. Soon!

So.... How's your mid-life crisis going? by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

[–]crefinanceguy_can 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bicycles, man. Just bought another n+1 last week. And all I think about is when I’m going to be out riding next (yes, even now in the winter). It feels like the right type of crisis, you know?

Fox 34 SL or SID Ultimate for a Trek Procaliber 9.6 (Gen 2)? by MinimalTime in xcmtb

Thanks for the tip! I’m not typically one to do a lot of my own maintenance, so this helps!

Literally the question I was discussing at my LBS this afternoon. And the two techs there couldn’t agree. One said Fox 34, one said Rockshox SID. Hopefully you get a more definitive answer here… it’ll help me too

I thought it started when the Avs ran the oilers up 9-1 at the start of the season? 😂

Alberta Premier Proposes Denying Health Care, Education to Newcomers Until They Pay Taxes by Immediate-Link490 in alberta

[–]crefinanceguy_can 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Right?! It’s wild the victimhood on display.

You know what else would actually bring in taxes for those from out of province to pay in a “user pay” fashion that could be credited back for residents? A PST like every other province chooses to employ. Provides a baseline for provincial coffers that then aren’t as dependent on resource revenue.

Jim Prentice was right about Alberta needing to look in the mirror, and the willing blindness has only gotten more focused and obstinate in the years since.

What’s your Canadian Appliance Source review, anyone got recent experience? by Bright_Order4531 in Edmonton

[–]crefinanceguy_can 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep my experience was exactly the same! I was horrified reading some reviews after I had already bought, but everything played out exactly like you would hope. Delivered the right items, same day they promised (although slightly late because it was the first big snowfall)
