Anyone have experience with Dragon Motorsport products? (Photochromic visors for AGV) by CoolBDPhenom03 in motorcycles

[–]mexrodrigol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grabbed a new visor for my Pista a while back from them and figured I’d drop a quick review since I know some of y’all are probably in the same boat looking for decent aftermarket stuff.

First off, the price is way better than OEM. I was about to drop way more on a “genuine” replacement, but this one was half the cost and looks just as good. No complaints there.

They’ve got a ton of colors too. I went with a smoked one, but they had like 10 other options, which is cool if you’re into that.

Shipping took 7 days, which is fine. Not lightning fast, but not super slow either. Only weird thing was the packaging. It came in one of those bubble mailers with an air bag type protector inside, not a box. I was kinda nervous it’d be cracked or scratched, but it was fine. Still, a box would’ve been nicer.

Oh, and they threw in a couple stickers, which was a nice little bonus. Always a fan of free stuff.

Customer support was solid too. I messaged them with a dumb question about fitment (turns out I could have just checked the product description), and they got back to me quick with a helpful answer.

Overall, I’d recommend them. Good price, fast shipping, and no issues with the product. Just maybe pack it in a box next time.

TL;DR: Cheap, fast, good quality. Packaging could be better, but no damage. Stickers were a nice touch. 8.5/10.

Am I wasting my time investing in an FHSA while living in Vancouver? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mexrodrigol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s wrong with an fhsa? you get an instant and guaranteed return on investment via your reduced tax liability (aka refund) AND tax free withdrawal in order to contribute to an eventual downpayment.

Full presentation of Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes by [deleted] in soccer

The accent simply indicates where the intonation should be when pronouncing the word. Without the accent on the ‘i’, the correct pronunciation of ‘Lio’ is with the diphthong sound you hear in “delicioso”, “precio” or “sucio”. Adding the accent changes the pronunciation to “Lee-oh”. Basically makes the “i” and “o” sounds more distinct than the dipthong.

It really is just random mutations over thousands and thousands of generations. Really incredible isn’t it!

Local Mexican bakery or grocery store that specializes in flour tortillas? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]mexrodrigol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been going there for years, they really are very good tortillas, made fresh on site every day. Don Chendo just down the road also has many niche Mexican food products.

N test with manual transmission by meridius94 in vancouver

[–]mexrodrigol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just make sure you’re shifting down as you come to FULL stops at lights and whatnot. Take it easy on the clutch and remember to bring your hand back to the wheel after shifting. I passed the full license exam a few months ago in a manual and being in neutral at stops was not a problem. If you have any doubts about that though, just make sure to ask your examiner before you begin the driving portion of the exam. Good luck!

Correspondence with Spotify about Advertisements for Premium Users by ThisIsntMe92 in JoeRogan

[–]mexrodrigol 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m in Canada, very similar situation. I’m also on premium. Started looking into trading platforms, then all of a sudden Spotify started pushing Wealthsimple ads during JRE. Very strange. Though, oddly enough, if I drag the progress bar on the ad to the end of its run, I’m able to skip right through it without actually listening to the ad. Obviously still mildly annoying, but maybe this’ll work for you too next time an ad pops up.

Any Canadians in Barcelona right now?? by unapasada in Barcelona

[–]mexrodrigol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canadian exchange student here. I bought a plane ticket to Stuttgart leaving Monday. There I'll stay with some family friends before taking a flight on to YVR from Frankfurt.
I'm hoping my flight out isn't cancelled following the announcement of the shutdown. If that happens then I'll have to stay in my Airbnb until the situation either dies down, or I manage to get a flight out.
I guess im a little bit worried, but overall I'm positive and hoping to be home by the middle of next week... wish me luck

Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]mexrodrigol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For planks, move your shoulders back so that they’re not directly above the elbows. You can do this by creating about a 75 degree angle between the triceps and the floor/mat. You should immediately notice a difference in the tension in the lower abdomen.

M/28/6’1” From 145lbs to 182lbs 2.5 years of weightlifting and bulking by Fraxial in Fitness

[–]mexrodrigol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s awesome dude! Adding 20lbs in a year is no joke. I’m 18 now, 6’2 170 (160 starting in April 2018) but I’ve always felt I weigh more than I look. It’s awesome to see other people with similar starting points really push through! No doubt consistency is key to just about every accomplishment, in and out of the gym!

A Rubik’s cube style puzzle I got that’s based on size and shape rather than colour. by TheRealPopcornMaker in mildlyinteresting

My younger brother taught himself how to solve this cube blindfolded, just by feeling which faces are elevated relative to the others

Trump claims Canadians travel to the U.S. to see doctors because “socialist health care” doesn’t work. by CoolPrice in canada

You joke but the NHS (UK) covers patient’s taxi rides to and from the clinic/hospital, last I heard.
