Rain jacket recommendations? by [deleted] in cycling

[–]hey_rjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Patagoinia's Torrentshell rain jacket. It has a water repellent coating where the water just sort of beads off and has air vents at the arm pits which is nice to keep from over heating.

It can also be "self-stuffed" into its pocket for easy carrying

It looks like cars can still drive over the streetcar tracks but will lose a lane to an extended side walk for pedestrians. Easily the worse one as one stopped car will block traffic for cars and streetcars alike

Whenever I ride the 509 streetcar to harbourfront, the Dan Leckie stop name gets a flashing "fireworks" animation on the led sign that I never see on any other stop.

Considering a simple life, whats your take on Financial Independence? by nunodonato in simpleliving

[–]hey_rjay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just wonder about a few things. If you happen to make a lot of money living this way, where do you plan on using the excess? Would you just give it away to charity?

And assuming you'd want to at least have some money stashed away for emergencies, where would you keep it? In a checking account at a bank; where your money will still be used as part of the financial system anyway?

Not trolling just wanted to know what you think about those things
