    Is it summer yet? Dreaming of Bethany

    Is it wetter than usual for this time of year, or are you referring to the forecast? Anyone been out on any of the road allowances that way yet this year, are they still super swampy?

    Ai future?

    These large language models are very prone to error it seems. I was trying to remember a movie name the other night, and ChatGPT had an "oversight" I asked it about: Link to conversation: ChatGPT TLDR - I asked which movies had a dog named "Maya". ChatGPT reported there aren't any. I...

    Newtonville pits

    I haven't been there for many many years... it gets discussed here every now and then and is a great spot, but illegal to ride there and police visit there periodically to issue tickets etc. https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/newtonville.153465/ @sighless - been there recently??

    What are you currently playing?

    Counter-Strike, PUBG, and Dota2 still reign supreme on Steam... Counter Strike has been basically the same for over 2 decades. Dota 2 is an 11 year old game, and PUBG was released in 2017. We PC gamers like what we like!

    Pickup Trucks

    I'm glad I got a 7 year warranty on my 2020... I'm gonna hang onto it as long as I can at these prices :/

    Pickup Trucks

    I had a "bedslide" on my last truck; handy that it allows you to easily grab stuff you've packed in the far back, but like @crankcall mentioned you lose at least 4" of depth thanks to it. For my current truck, I didn't bother getting another one. I will say they are well constructed and handle...

    Considering an ATV

    I've gone through a LOT of small displacement ATVs over the years, and my favourite by far is still the Suzuki Quadrunner 250 or King Quad 300 - the models with the 5 speed semi-automatic, 3 range transmissions with manual locking front differential. No other small cc ATV will plow better or...

    What are you currently playing?

    I've been giving CS2 a try recently, but it's still pretty buggy. My system seems to crash at least once an hour not to mention in-game issues.

    Vespa on the 401, totally do-able but...

    15 years ago I was crusing down the 400 doing about 120 when a vespa passed by me... I was so surprised at the time, I had my wife take a video on whatever crappy device we had handy at the time:

    Starlink speeds

    Ain't that the truth... here's a shot of a speed test I ran back in May 2022 after opening the cottage: Upload speeds have particularly dropped since I first subscribed.

    Starlink speeds

    Yes - signed up Feb 2021 as soon as it was available in my area and was put on waiting list for a year. Order went through Feb 2022 and we've had uninterrupted service since then.

    Starlink speeds

    Yes, streaming works no problem - the only times I _sometimes_ have issues are when both my wife and I are video conferencing at the same time (so both using upload pipe) or when I'm video gaming during prime time. Gaming is workable (counter strike, pugb, etc) but I do get packet loss at...

    Starlink speeds

    I find it fluctuates quite a bit at times, but generally speaking I can expect 100-150 Mbps down and 15-20 Mbps up. Right now these are my speed test results (from both dishy and ookla) on a drizzly Sunday afternoon half-way between Haliburton and Bancroft:
