Okay, it’s getting ridiculous on the highways nowadays, and I genuinely believe one of the major contributors to crashes is people not leaving enough following distance.

A reminder about the two-second rule, it’s TWO SECONDS. Not 2 metres, not 20 metres. The actual distance changes depending on your speed.

For reference, approximately:

50 km/h: ~5 car lengths

80 km/h: ~9 car lengths

100 km/h: ~11 car lengths

I know that probably looks ridiculous to a lot of people. You might be thinking, “There’s no way I’m leaving 11 car lengths!”

But that’s exactly the point. At highway speeds, your vehicle covers a surprising amount of distance while you’re simply reacting, before you even start braking.

And then there are the people who weave through packed traffic, changing lanes and trying to overtake everyone, only to end up behind or right beside the exact person they overtook 10 minutes ago. 😂

And remember, two seconds is a minimum in good conditions. Increase that distance in rain, snow, darkness, heavy traffic, or poor visibility.

So please, for everyone's sake, leave some space. Don’t fucking tailgate.

Never, and I mean never, get a strawberry cheesecake shake. It was one of the weirdest things I've had in a long time. I actually love cheesecake ice cream, so I thought I'd enjoy it, but turning cheesecake into a milkshake just backfired lol. The flavor and texture felt... off. Definitely not something I'd order again.

Driving to work around 7 a.m. this morning, visibility was absolutely terrible because of the downpour. Yet I saw multiple older vehicles and even a few cargo vans driving with no lights on.

It's not only about helping you see. It's also about helping everyone else see you. In weather like that, a grey or white vehicle can practically disappear in the spray. Come on, people. You're putting yourself and everyone else on the road at risk. All it takes is one person not seeing you in those conditions for a serious crash to happen.If your wipers are on, your headlights should be on too. It's such a simple thing that can make a huge difference.

Hi everyone. I'm currently with Bell and kinda not like the network coverage. Every time I go out of town to rural areas, it switches to 3G and the internet barely works. Even inside buildings and malls it's very slow and sometimes doesn't even get service. And biggest reason of all, they increased my plan price by $6 a month. So I'm looking at cheaper alternatives even if I experience similar coverage and narrowed it down to the above 3 but wondering which has better service and connectivity in the GTA, KWC area? Any information or experience with any of these 3 would really help or even any other suggestion is welcome. I used Rogers in the past and like it better than Bell.

Fizz $30/m for 40GB 5G speeds

Public Mobile $35 for 40GB 5G speeds

Chatr $29 for 35GB 4G speeds

5G or 4G doesn't matter as long as I'm getting decent internet speeds. Thanks

Where do you guys go for paddleboarding in Waterloo region? I recently got into paddleboarding and have enjoyed it so much even though I'm not a great swimmer (of course I always use a PFD).

I've been to Rockwood, Wapole Island (near Sarnia) so far and planning to go to Awenda soon but I'm really curious if there's any free place around (even within 100kms) where we can paddleboard safely. I know there are a lot of conservation areas around but I feel they are expensive at $10 per person. So any hidden gems you guys suggest?
