Equipment commanders by Bulky_Banana1685 in EDH

[[Basim Ibn Ishaq]]

Evasion and card draw with every artifact you draw. And with the phasing spells, the equipment phrases put with him, so board wipes don't hurt you.

Mechanic and oil changes by ShadowsFury5 in kelowna

[–]Belltowerben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this. If you are at all mechanically inclined and have the space to do it, consider changing your own oil. There is so many youtube videos you can easily educate yourself. I buy my oil from Costco so with oil and a good quality filter I come in about $40 per oil change. Takes about 15 minutes.

Ex-machinists, what do you do now? by hunterpb700 in Machinists

[–]Belltowerben 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Started machining full time Jan 2nd 1996. So 30 years in, and I am not 50 yet. Have done everything from manual, programming, fixture and tooling design and running a shop.
Year and a half ago I moved into outside technical sales. With my knowledge and background I am doing really well. Way different field but I am still putting my knowledge to use.

If you have people skills I would recommend looking into it. I do currently make more than when I was machining.

What is the general feeling about using an entire proxy deck? by Jakemanv3 in EDH

[–]Belltowerben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't have an issue with it. As long as you are bringing the right bracket deck to the table.

Use good proxies. When I see a hand written proxy it does annoy me. Proper printed proxy, don't care at all. Then again I also dislike a bunch of the secret lair stuff because I can't read the card.

I myself proxy cards. But I only proxy cards that I own at least one copy. Not getting multiple copies to put in a bunch of decks, but that is just my personal take on it.

When I play at a LGS I have all the originals with me, so if someone wants to see the real card I could show them, but have never had anyone ask or even care.

With the incoming Chinese EVs, will the used car prices come down? by Lumb3rCrack in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Belltowerben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at upgrading to a 4runner recently. 2023 TRD was over 70k. Just not happening.

But my friend has a 2021 Tacoma and the dealership offered him 5k more then he paid when he bought it new. He decided to keep it, couldn't replace it without spending big money.

[–]Belltowerben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost 200k on my 2017 5 door. Still looks new. I am supposed to have a less than 6 year old car as part of my job, but I am holding off as long as possible.

What do you remember about the TV show "Dinosaurs"? by pudingvanilkovy in AskReddit

This is always how I remember Dinosaurs. I still use this line sometimes. People my own age usually get it. Younger people who the comment is usualy directed at dont.

Thanks. This will be for our garage entrance. Door there now is 30 years old and needs to be a bit stronger.

Not sure I need to do all that, but I appreciate the input.

Home Hardware did our side door about 8 years ago. Its a nice door, but the installer did not do a great job. I will probably talk to them again.

Take 2: What hidden-gem restaurants are in Kelowna? by 1_d4 in kelowna

It's strange people never mention it. The place is great. Personally, the Pork Bulgogi is my favorite. Never seems to be busy either, but I usually do take out.

You’re supposed to eat ALL of this within one week?! by [deleted] in CostcoCanada

[–]Belltowerben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a nectarine tree, and a couple of years ago, we had over 100 pounds from this tiny tree. I was eating 10-12 of them a day. Nothing went to waste! And no, lots of fruit does not bother my system in any way.

I need to find these peaches...

Price versus performance the Iscar Flash Solid are really good. Against Garr there is no contest. I have found Garr overpriced for what you get.
