  • It’s totally obscene. I traveled to the USA recently for 5 days and my options were:

    i) Pay Telus $14/day * 5days = $70 (plus tax)

    ii) Buy a US 30GB 10-day esim for $11.27 taxes included.

    Plus in option i) I’d be using the data from my own data plan. Unless you really need to be able to use SMS and receive calls, it’s really a no brainer. Especially with how easy esims are to setup, I just had to switch a setting in my phone when I crossed the border. Crazy part is, if it was ``only" twice the price, I’d probably have just paid Telus.




  • GOG’s refund policy is good enough that preordered games can get refunded anyways if they are poor. The ability to preload was worth preordering considering the practically zero downside with GOG. I could have refunded after playing but my computer was powerful enough to push through and still have the performance not be too poor except in a select few areas.

    But regardless of the preorder situation, suggesting that this is things done right and we complain too much because there were 4 years of updates improving the state still is a strange stance to take. A game shouldn’t be released in a state that it needs 4 years of updates for most users.


  • Huh? For those of us that paid $90 for a broken game, I think we have a good reason to complain that four years later the game still needs repairing. Sure a company like EA or Ubisoft wouldn’t have fixed it but nonetheless there is a fair reason to complain. CDPR wants to salvage their reputation which is why I bet they are doing it—EA and Ubisoft don’t have a reputation to salvage at this point.








  • My experience is the opposite. The hours 3-6 feel more dangerous to me because many drivers are in a rush and very uncourteous. At night there are just way less cars on the road and in general they are much more courteous. However I generally don’t ride light enough for them to suffer from very bad sleep deprivation.







  • Honestly just need to find one that fits YOU and is safe.

    I got a Bontrager Spectre Wavecell because it felt the best on my head from all the helmets I tried and the tech is safe (MIPS is also very good).

    I wear it from -15°C to +30°C and it’s good for me. The helmet is not the problem outside this range, it’s just generally too hot/cold, it isn’t the top of my head that gets way too hot/cold. As long as you don’t get an aero helmet I think you won’t have any temperature problems.
