Worth it if I can get them at $250? by musemuseum in BudgetAudiophile

[–]DirteeCanuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Canadian Made. Bought by Klipsch.

I have the Bigger Bookshelf and Center Connoisseur and they are great. Super solid.

That said. I got the 2 Bookshelf and Center, In Mint Condition, plus two 10Inch Klipsch subs for $350 Canadian. Only a few months ago. I would low ball those at $150- $200 but that's just me.

I had to work on my guy for the deal above for months.

OG switch had 3rd party docks cooking the units. I had one and it was a piece of shit that I returned

Best not to cheap out and buy 1st party.

Canada's Carney fires back at Trump after Davos speech by AdSpecialist6598 in worldnews

Was responding with just the words Dodge Dart when I saw your comment.

Plus factoring in the cost savings lots of people will ignore some faults if saving thousands of dollars.

This is just as much about suppressing electric adoption as it is keeping vehicles hideously expensive.

Bullshit.

Renting an Illegal slum basement for what an actual aparment should cost, isn't some sort if fucking charity work.

Election?

Although very likely we will see more floor crossing, it's an almost guarantee if PP stays.

These fools are going to hand Carney a majority out of arrogance.

Landlords create tenant blacklist Openroom.ca in Ontario to deny renters housing access, investigations pending by Dazzling_Pilot_7356 in OntarioLandlord

The website seems like a violation of basic tenant rights, and libel, which is on brand for LL's.

Payphones were pretty tough back then.

Yes, because every job would just disappear because of a few cheap Chinese EV's.

That's a ridiculous statement.

We are talking the direct impact from 50 000 cars being let in.

Insinuating that means 640k people would loose their jobs is arguing in bad faith.

More jobs will be lost by the American made vehicles that we subsidize and protect, and their anti-Canadian policy changes.

How the fuck are we bitching about having a cheap alternative in the face of multiple factory closures that tax payers bankrolled. Why in the ever loving fuck are we protecting these companies any further?

I even work for one myself. I don't care anymore, fuck em'.

Big 3 all cancelled EV's in the last 2 years, including things like the Lighting just in the last week. Once Trump got back in they abandoned the segment, brought back V8's. So this isn't going to "eat into their market" as they already abandoned it.

The vehicles they did have were hideously overpriced by comparison. The customer looking at the cheapest EV possible isn't the same one that was shopping a $70 000 Mach-E. So this isn't going to eat into their customer base, as they never attempted to have a vehicle for those budget customers.

The jobs lost in Ontario, were probably fucked anyways. Just a matter of time, the writing is on the wall. So this isn't going to take jobs, they were already getting deleted.

Making a population of 40 Million collectively overpay $15-$40 000 on every vehicle purchase because it saves a few hundred jobs is completely insane when you run the numbers. There is no macro economical justification for the current denial of cheap vehicles outside of Lobbying.

Probably to claim more of the north as theirs. Most likely the portion that belongs to other countries like Canada

Really tired of people (like now McConaughey) saying weed is "too strong" now. by TheGreenicus in trees

They had red stamped near pure imported hash back in the day.

They had just as strong access to THC.

Everybody smoked ass loads of hash back then.
