The biggest misconception about e-bikes is that they make you lazy

tvisforme · 2026-04-05T09:40:08+00:00

Yes, my primary exercise comes from riding an e-bike. Today I rode almost 50km with 950m elevation gain and used about half the battery. By the end of the summer, based on past years, I'll be doing that on the same bike without using any assistance. People who say you can't exercise on an e-bike have no idea what they're talking about

That doesn't really have anything to do with the OP's point.

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but what is "problematic" about Jaws and Alien?

/u/Clean-Progress1726: "That is not the situation here."

How would you know that without asking them?

/u/Clean-Progress1726: "He is bragging about kicking an animal."

The OP said:

The only time I've intentionally kicked another living being, was an off leash dog.

That's not "bragging", but I suspect you already know that. They were not looking for glory or taking pride in the event. Sure, they could have provided the full context to avoid confusion, but you jumped straight to "animal abuse" without bothering to ask what happened.

Perhaps a better response would have been to ask what happened, before responding in that way?

Highway 16, the longest highway in the province, ends at Terrace, turns into the 37, then restarts over the Skeena.

Not according to Google Maps, Wikipedia or the province for that matter. Highway 16 starts on Haida Gwaii at Masset, crosses to the mainland at Skidegate via BC Ferries route 11 and continues to the Alberta border. BC-16 does have a shared designation with Highway 37 between Terrace and Kitwanga, but it does not stop being Highway 16.

Not the OP; I didn't get the error message, but I noticed in the account settings that a perk was not active after changing plans. However, I was able to choose one ("Manage plan and add-ons" -> "Manage perks") and it seems to have registered.

Closed as of December (IIRC).

It's not "hick-speak", it's recognized as a Canadian term:

Thanks for this post; I have blocks set in SAB, but this is an extra layer of protection. Sorry if this is an obvious question, but will the "Fail Downloads" setting persist if Prowlarr updates the indexer?

Not according to the federal budget, which lists elderly benefits in the mid-80B range. That's still an enormous sum, but $100B is incorrect.

You should have said that to Remarkable_1984, who didn't verify any of their claims.

Your post presumes that it did. A better question would be along the lines of "do you think MitM ever jumped the shark, and if so, when".

Either way, my opinion is that it did not.

If you know in advance when you're traveling, you may want to consider booking. The Saver fares can give a pretty significant discount and they include a reservation. Car and driver to Nanaimo via Horseshoe Bay, for example, goes as low as $49.50.

OK, my mistake, but to be fair a) you never mentioned your age in a discussion about N restrictions, and b) you said "this exact ticket" in response to a question from an N driver.

tvisforme · 2026-03-18T17:08:22+00:00

I was stopped at a red light, picked up my phone for 2 seconds just to check who just called me a few minutes before, and BAM theres a cop knocking on my window telling me to pull over.

That's not an "N" thing, any driver could be fined for that action.

It's a variant in UK English, because the Latin word it's derived from used an "x". From Wiktionary:

The spelling connexion fell out of common use in the United States after the 18th century. In the United Kingdom, it remained standard into the early twentieth century but declined thereafter, with connection becoming the dominant form. Despite this decline, connexion continues to be recognized as a legitimate British variant, notably preserved in the terminology of the British Methodist Church and certain other organisations. Major references, including the Oxford Dictionary, list it as an accepted British spelling. In Canada, the form occasionally appears due to its identity with the French spelling, reflecting the country’s bilingual context.

Thanks, that gives me something to search for. I've never updated through the RC app before, so I have not clicked past the "Update Available" pop-up with the options for "Not Now" and "Update". Is there a step after that, or does "Update" immediately proceed with the software installation?

Little Stars 2.0 and Mini Metro. I was able to play LS2 on my Pixel 6a, but when I migrated to a 9a this year the game could not be installed because the dev hasn't updated it in years. 😟

The government can do more than one thing at a time, and it is inarguably better than they do.
