As someone recovering from back pain from a car accident, back pain (or tightness) often just means there's a weakness somewhere, probably at or anywhere below that location (could be tight hips, even ankles). It's…
Kinda like how there's ads on the home screen of certain products, but other companies may opt to forgo them for a more premium experience that keeps customers coming back and paying them long-term subscription fees?…
That's the difference, he's doing his own work. Hell, around here the minimum labour charge is already more than $100. As someone who owned a Saabaru, many 4 figure shop quotes become a weekend and <$100 in parts. Just…
You attribute it's reliability to it's simplicity, but I'd argue Toyota simply builds things to a better standard. As most people know, Lexus is also Toyota, and I've been driving a fully loaded luxury sedan from 2008…
I'm only 30, but at this point a 15 year old car still feels kinda "new" to me. Up until a few months ago, I drove a 2008 Lexus, felt perfectly modern. But in regards to driving a manual in traffic, does a diesel not…
Ironically due to being unable to get the Ioniq 5 and ending up with the Tesla, I'm now in the market for a generator. If it's the quiet model and you live in western Canada, I'd be interested. The Tesla even voids your…
When I switched to WFH, it was amazing suddenly finding an extra 5 figures annually in my pocket. Commuting is also the most dangerous thing the average person does. My wife only commutes in 4 days a month, and we still…
For me I'm the exact opposite. Didn't mind working in the office, it was nice enough, coworkers are all friendly. But having to live anywhere near my office in a high COL area means I was priced out of affording even a…
It's worse than that, I didn't just gain space and scenery. I went up an entire socioeconomic class. Previously I was priced out of the housing market, renting a small basement suite. Now I own a large detached home,…
I was wondering the same thing as an infrastructure engineer making Canadian peanuts compared to my friends who moved to the US. I guess it’s mostly my own fault for being nervous about switching jobs, but hearing them…
I guess not necessarily the "most" consequences, but the best hidden (at least to me as a novice). When woodworking, I'm aware of the spinny bit and can watch a quick video on how to use the tool safely. And it's only a…
This is the same reason I moved out of the city. Rents are very high because they assume you can live there without a car, but as someone who frequently drove far out of the city I was paying for the worst of both…
Because our government doesn't understand technology and generally gets fleeced anytime they encounter it. Remember the Phenix pay system? It was an IBM project that was supposed to save us 70 million a year, instead…
He's not wrong, but the world has picked a different path. Hydrogen only creates water, and can be refuelled as quick as gas. Wouldn't have minded driving one of those Toyota Mirais, but there isn't even a Hydrogen…
> Fully charges the cars pre-emptively It gives us a choice/warning right? Because sometimes I'll stop charging so it doesn't trip the breaker as I run something else.
As a new Model 3 owner, I've been looking into how to do this. The solutions aren't particularly nice, there's the Quick220, a device which does all the safety checks of manually combining 2 circuits on opposite phases…
That is correct, although the filter location on my first gen Tacoma is also not ideal.
$25 and $65 did not include parts (the oil or filter) I use synthetic, and their markup is so much it's cheaper to just provide them with my own. Hell their price for filters is more than the parts counter at the…
Even as a rider myself, just seeing how others ride I'd agree. If you're going to go twice the speed people are expecting a vehicle to go, in a space nobody expected a vehicle to fit, in a vehicle that offers none of…
I also preferred working in office. My company had a really nice one. But due to covid forcing remote work I was able to go from renting a basement, to buying a home (and renting out MY basement). House cost me the same…
I actually kinda liked it. The issue is the cost of getting to work, and even to live near work. Just getting to work is a significant expense, parking, having a vehicle that's good enough to commute in, insured for…
If I were to attempt to re-buy any large portion of my tools all at once, I'd consider it an absurd amount to spend. But over a lifetime of things breaking, you'll get a lot of large quotes for professional repairs, or…
There are certain categories you can basically guarantee to get fakes. Brand name batteries is one of them, I guess that's one more thing pushing people towards "Amazon Basics", it's the only one that's not going to be…
> I prefer music when cooking or cleaning or whatnot. And that's where the time is found. Podcasts play in my headphones as I do any mindless physical tasks I need to get done, snowblowing, renovating something, mowing…
Have you looked at any of the Pi clones like the Orange Pi? Also if you're building these IoT things at scale, have you looked at the more simple/cheap chips like an ESP32? Obviously I ask without context for what…
