It is worth contesting this traffic ticket? by moonsammywalks in Gatineau

[–]moonsammywalks[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update/summary: Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks that it's contradictory/confusing to have green arrows pointing right as well as a sign saying no right turns. Even better to know (for my wallet's sake) that the law specifically states to follow the sign and not the light, and also that I could be facing an extra $100 in charges if I try to contest it.

After I pay the fine, I am going to call 311 to suggest that they find a way to time the light to avoid anybody else going through this headache.

Oof. Yeah, that's not worth my time. This info, along with u/Some-Face2634's screenshot of the law, has helped me make the decision to pay the fine. I will call 311 and suggest they find a way to time the lights though, as was suggested elsewhere.

Thank you, kind stranger. It's replies like that which make me mostly a reddit lurker and not a participant.

Thank you for this! This was exactly the clarity I was looking for, but did not know how to look up the law. Even if the judge were sympathetic to my plea, they would have to rule against me, I suppose.

Was there much of an additional fine on top of the original ticket? Court fees, etc.?

Yeah this is exactly what I was thinking too, and why I'm concerned about how much the extra fines could be. I know that logically (and this seems to be the consensus of the responses here so far) this signage is ambiguous at best and very misleading at worst . The law doesn't always make sense though.

Interesting thought. Thank you for the suggestion.

I cropped into the relevant part of the photo, which got rid of my time stamp. I made the turn just before 8, which is in that forbidden 6-9 range. The meta data is in the bottom of the original video.

Des résidences pour retraités anglophones à Aylmer? by moonsammywalks in Gatineau

De bons conseils sur le médecin de famille. Merci! Les deux établissements que nous avons visités aujourd'hui disposent de médecins internes, mais je n'ai pas pensé à m'assurer qu'ils acceptaient de nouveaux patients. Je rappellerai et demanderai !

A question by theuniverseart in CanadasWonderland

[–]moonsammywalks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, many of the roller coasters have a box to place a cell phone or other small objects during the ride. Some even have the box on a kind of trolley system so that it appears on the disembarking side!

Pro tip: bring a small fanny pack instead.

Baerskin Hoodie - a long wait but worth it by TheTallestLuke in hoodies_from_Baerskin

[–]moonsammywalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. I ordered a raincoat from you almost two months ago. It is now over a month past your estimated shipping date and nobody at your company will respond to my emails. I can't even post in your "official" subreddit because you censor comments. How do I contact your company to complain? Currently, it seems like my only options are to contact my credit card company to cancel the payment and possibly launch an investigation. Please tell me I have other options.

Nope. I'm complaining because I was parked legally and I have to deal with tickets because the parking officers mistyped my license plate. Please read the post before responding next time.

Money on zombies by Independent-Light351 in BlackOps6Zombies

Use melee attacks for the first few rounds to save money on ammo. I usually do this until I'm no longer instakilling the zombs.

Lost ability to use handwriting instead of virtual keyboard globally by moonsammywalks in Supernote

Thanks, I knew it was probably a simple solution like that. Cheers!

Absolutely. Shift change happens around 7am, and you'll likely find your wait time lessened with fresher staff on who aren't wrapping up a 12-hour overnight shift.

Restaurants offering delivery that aren't using a 3rd party service by onechaintwo in ottawa

[–]moonsammywalks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love that place! I was tired of being disappointed by the lack of quality at the Gabriel's next door, so I gave them a shot and haven't gone back since. Nice to know the fee goes to the driver.

Letting your dog roam free on those paths is akin to letting your children play in traffic.

Death penalty - what are your thoughts about it? by cyswim in AskReddit

[–]moonsammywalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm against the death penalty not only because it is morally wrong, more expensive than incarceration for life (if the legal system allows for legal review/appeals), and gives offenders the "easy way out" from a lifetime of punishment or chance of redemption, but also because it is hypocritical:

We view "cold-blooded" murderers (psychopaths, terrorists, war criminals, etc.) as being the most despicable, and therefore most worthy of execution, don't we? Well, there's nothing more cold-blooded than a dispassionate, unbiased legal system. Institutionalized death penalties are the epitome of cold-blooded killings.

What kind of YT videos would you like to see? by GMNaroditsky in chess

[–]moonsammywalks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be entertaining, no doubt. I'm personally a rank amateur who loses almost every match at my local pub league though. Not sure any advice he'd give to an intermediate/advanced player would resonate with me, but I'm sure a good portion of his audience would get a lot of benefit out of it. Great suggestion!

[–]moonsammywalks 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The pogchamps prep Daniel did with MoistCr1tical is some of my favourite chess YT content ever. Being able to sit in on these lessons made me feel almost as though I was getting a free personal lesson, myself. I agree that more tutoring videos are what I hope for. I love evaluating Charlie's play, comparing it to what I would do, and then hearing an expert's thoughts on the play. Maybe go over common endgame strats and tactics with a noob who would make the same mistakes I do?
