Hey there,

I'm travelling alone with no restriction and full flexibility.

Just got an email that my flight is a complete flight and I could get a 800$ coupon if I agree to depart a day earlier.

I travel to that destination yearly and looked at a flight next year with a basefare of 950. The rest is fees and taxes.

I accepted the offer and got the coupon in my mailbox 2min after.

I then read all the horror stories on Reddit and started regretting but I don't really know why. In my situation it's actually a good thing ?
I know people say that I should have waited to board on the expected date to have a chance to get money instead of a coupon but I'm not down to have a delayed flight compared to an earlier one.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Ultra-noob here.

I got a reality check recently when visiting a friend that showed me how my money is just sleeping in my account with 0 growth and how I am wasting potential earnings through investments.

I came back home and took 10k from my Desjardins checking account, opened a RRSP on Wealthsimple and bought VFV with all the amount. Made a few hundreds in the past months already, where I made 48$ in a whole year at Desjardins...

Then, I took all my TFSA (around 15k) that was giving me 0,034% on Desjardins, transferred it as-is to a Wealthsimple TFSA. Now I am facing so many options on what to buy with it. I read a bit and I seem to be good to buy XEQT or VEQT with that amount and just let it there, grow.

I used to put 200$ every pay to that Desjardins TFSA.

I also have a RRSP with my job that I contribute on each pay, as well as a defined contribution that is percentage equalled by the company.

Is my move acceptable ? Should I continue contributing an amount on those 2 new WS accounts bi-weekly like I used to do on my Desjardins TFSA ?

Hi everyone,

trying to make my cheap daily more enjoyable to drive and I've been pushing to tackle this annoying judder/pulsation when braking coming to a stop. The car brakes normally at high speed. No vibration or movement in the steering. But when coasting and pressing on the brake pedal, the whole car feels like a really slow ABS system. The steering doesn't vibrate.

Thanks

Donc tu viens au bureau tousser tes intestins à longueur de journée ??
Pourquoi on doit aussi être malade avec toi?
Le manque de considération et l'individualisme est à son apogée.
Le pire c'est qu'on est hybride et qu'on a une politique au bureau qui te permet de rester chez vous quand t'es malade. C'est quoi tu veux absolument montrer que t'es assidu à la job en venant même quand t'es malade au boute? Tout le monde s'en tappe.

Pu capab.

EDIT : je parle évidemment du monde hybride qui ont la possibilité de travailler de chez eux, je pointe clairement pas le monde avec 0 télétravail et qui sont essentiels physiquement à leur poste.

C'est super beau. On a de la chance de notre vue c'est tout d'un coup totalement clair 0 nuages.

They have a crazy amount of stock and speaking with an advisor, they will continue receiving them. All colors available, some have the cool 20" (not cool for our Quebec potholes) and all are Dual Motors.

Thinking about going with this as my first EV after shopping for a used Model 3 Long Range for the past months.

First week using Communauto as I'm waiting for my new car delivery.

Is it normal that 90% of the cars feel like they're owned by a farmer who brings in 3 sheeps and a full cow in?
They're totally filthy and seem like they've never seen a vaccum or a wet wipe ever.

Isn't there a team that clean them up like they charge the electric ones?

Hi everyone,

I just bought last week a Lacoste polo from the store in Japan as I loved the fact they have a Made in Japan version that is slim fit, not the usual boxy fit they produce in the west.

I tried it at the store, fits perfectly.
Came back home fits perfectly.
Washed it in TAP COLD water. Hung it to dry. Put it on, shrunk 1.5 size.

I tried the conditioner and lukewarm water then stretch it and the only thing it did was make it floppy and loose shape.

Is it dreaded ?

Thanks.

C'est juste pour rire en ce Vendredi chaud, aucun but d'offense!

Voici ma version du parfait /user du sub Quebec :

- Conduit une communauto et se plaint que les gens roulent 51km/h

Encore une fois on niaise, que personne ne se sente visé ! (Sauf ceux qui défendent des raisons d'avoir des nids de poules à chaque 10cm, sentez-vous visés, oui)

Hi everyone,

as the title says. I've tried a bunch of brands of coffees from all over the world. Different grind levels but always listed as for moka pot. But recently (it was better when the pot was new IIRC) I might get lucky and have one of 10 cups tasting perfect but 90% of the time I have a bitter and terrible tasting cup of coffee.

My aunt uses a 5 cups, with random grocery coffee and lets it boil until we can hear the bubbles from far away but always ends up tasting fine.

I am not into buying grains and grinding them myself as I never did and used to have a great taste everytime, so does my aunt and other members of my family that uses moka pots back in Europe.

I'm using a Bialetti one cup, on electric stove set at 3 out of 10. I tried 6, 4, nothing changes the bitterness. I used cold, hot water. I take it off the stove when it bubbles. I pass the pot under cold water to stop the boiling. Literally tried every trick.

Is my gasket too old and pushing all the past flavors in my coffee ? I never replaced it.

Thanks a lot

Hi everyone,

I switched to VirginPlus 25$ plan that was on promotion a few months ago from Bell and while it is supposed to run on the same towers and bands, my experience has been a disaster since.

Youtube videos take ages to load every single time, I can barely surf the web to find adresses or help with Maps when I'm on a road trip with friends as the pages would either not load at all or load at a iPhone 3GS in 2009 speed.

In the middle of Montreal or Toronto downtown and I barely get LTE speed that I was getting with Bell.

I'm near Quebec city right now and Ookla shows a 14mbps on LTE.

I regret running after bucks to save with such a trade in experience.

iPhone 13 Mini.

What have been done already :

\- Reset network settings
\- Reinstall eSIM
\- Reboot phone
\- Contacted support which did a reset of my line and network config

What am I doing wrong ?

I'm just thinking of coming back to Bell but I don't really wanna pay 60+ .
Any better offers ?

Thanks.

Hey there,

I've been looking at getting a LR Model 3 since January and really don't wanna go over a budget of 25k. Some dealers have listings of 2021-2022 for high 20s low 30s but that's not counting the 2 sale taxes here in QC.

I know the late 2021 refresh is a big deal but I just found a mint looking white on white LR with Acc Boost, full front PPF, 0 rust, suspension refresh at Tesla in 2024, 76k kms for 23k. Private local seller so no need to go through dealer sales etc.

Will I regret not waiting an additional year for a 2021+?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm in a recent condo and using the GigaHub with a 3gbps plan. Wifi is stable at 500-700mbps on all devices (which is expected over wifi). I also have a plug in the living room and bedroom to have it wired through ethernet. I only use cat6 thick cables. The Bell tech wired (as seen on photos) the cables running from my unit, tested it works from my wall plugs and left.

I did a speedtest afterward over ethernet on my PS5 and only capping at 80mbps. Tried laptop, same.

When plugged directly on the router I get around 900mbps.

I guess something is wrong in the cables either inside the walls or at the setup the tech made.

Anything I can do or should I call Bell again?

Also, shouldn't I get 3gbps if directly connected to router ?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT : forgot the pictures... I shared them in the comments.

Hi everyone,

I'm used to yupoo and ordering through superbuy for reps.
I read on the Wiki that LAC actually sells retail Lacoste with small manufacturing errors, for cheaper.
I tried finding an album to search through, without creating a weidian account as I'm not in China but couldn't get it to work.
Is it also just impossible to user superbuy to buy from LAC ?

Thanks !

Hi everyone,

I'll be in KC for the World Cup game this upcoming Saturday which ends at around 11PM. The ConnectKC26 that we'll be using to get in the city from the airport in the morning will not be able to bring us back as it stops at 10PM.

What would be our cheapest option besides a most probably overexpensive and packed Uber-Cab option ?

We have a pass to go back to downtown after the game. We'll then only need to go from downtown to MCI.

Thanks a lot !

Will report on the experience. I hated iOS26 like I never hated a software before and I've been on iPhone since 2008. So I'm jumping on this one as they promised a big amount of performance enhancements (I'm still hoping yes).

I'll sacrifice my daily 512GB 100%BH for the community.
