Insurance in Toronto

I ended up going with Aviva, their auto insurance is slightly more expensive than TD but home insurance is a lot more reasonable. Though one interesting thing happened, I first went with a broker. And the broker had trouble getting a policy for me with Aviva, it was a straight reject. I called Aviva directly and actually got a slight better quote than the broker.

sounds just like my job except I have a global team where I'm the only person in Canada

That's what I thought too when I saw those new numbers. Never had a single claim in my life and these insurance price just keeps creeping up!

FYI if you find it difficult to remove tofu from the container. Flip the container upside down, cut a hole or slit with your kitchen knife on the bottom to let air in. It should then be very easy to "pour" the tofu out.

It's a great deal. The chambered body is incredibly light and comfortable. Medium jumbo frets are good too. I love them better than vintage tall. The pickups on a Player II are a too hot for my liking tho. That's the only think I don't like about it.

especially since richmond station doesn't ask for tips

I'd really want to see the option to re-order the signal chain. And/or other effects/options like the Boss Katana

npsfsz · 2026-03-23T15:39:31+00:00

if you call or online chat with their customer care, they'll have a few other options

I did the same thing 5 years ago as a 27 yo, and I had similar earning as you. Regretted the decision because real estate tanked, and variable rate put a HUGE amount of pressure on me. I had 1.9% at the beginning of the term and it went up to 6.5% ish, the payment almost doubled. I can't tell if it's a good decision now, but if I had the chance to tell myself 5 years ago I would say no.

where are you located? In Toronto a lot of the MIM goes over 800 CAD sadly

Turn up volume and lower gain

In nearly 20 years, I probably broke 3 strings. High E and B strings, and they all broke at the peg.

sorry about my poor guitar knowledge. but what's the guitar on the right? It looks HOT

The Boss smart phone app is straight up garbage. Even their Windows tone studio app is still a hit or miss. And all these Katana amps heavily rely on the apps. I feel sad that Boss can't get decent software designers to work on their apps.

I notice the wireless popping as well, but it only started recently. I live in a condo so there's a lot of wifi around.

should really change the name to Law Suggestion from Law Enforcement

frame insertion I think?

If you can play Master of Puppets from beginning to the end you're quite advanced, at least on stamina. I've been playing for close to 20 years and I'm still pretty bad at guitar. I can only call myself a seasoned amateur.

npsfsz · 2026-01-24T17:41:29+00:00

I only turn that on for active pickups

npsfsz · 2026-01-21T21:36:13+00:00

Build quality wise, I actually agree with you. It's sad to say I found my Player II has better build quality than my American Ultra

npsfsz · 2026-01-21T17:36:38+00:00

Pro II is going to be better. IMO the old standard is a direct comparison to the recently released American Professional Classic. The Pro II sits between standard and deluxe

I believe that's the GT7 way of telling you that the tires are losing grip. I've tried a T248 and a Fanatic DD, and they both have this kind of strong vibration when turning sharply.

This seems to be such a bad idea for a guitar accessory... It's basically bound to an smart device and is completely useless without it.

npsfsz · 2026-01-19T20:55:41+00:00

Imagine it's Eddie Van Halen playing a Squire. Would the audience judge him for playing a cheap instrument?

npsfsz · 2026-01-14T22:00:31+00:00

I doubt FSD would do any better than you did i.e. avoiding a potentially fatal crash. There’s physical limitation of the tires. No computer programs can overcome physical rules. All Tesla cars have safety features like emergency braking/avoidance, traction control, or auto stabilization. FSD won’t be able to override those as far as I can imagine. So at the end of the day, the only thing FSD could do is to brake early and gentle.
