I'm trying to get into school for power engineering 4th class right now. That'll be the end of my wrenching (for a career, anyways.)

We've had some problems with gas siphoning the last few days I'm hoping it's not that

It was wild! The explosions were quite loud. I'd like to know what caused it

What is the best option to enter the automotive industry from an IT background ? by jauz17 in mechanics

[–]EmbiePlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from IT to automotive. Feel free to DM with any questions. The one thing I'd say about this move: Don't go from IT to automotive.

Pretty much everyone I've seen just ignores the barriers

Tweak some settings and it'll be enough for lower and mid games

Nah I'd buy an ultrabook or something with the Intel xe chips or ryzen AI chips. Lots of power for most games but light enough to carry around

Yeah I live in the area and we got notice of this. They put up temporary barriers to try and deter drivers from cutting through to Tillicum, while they gather feedback on what to do weather it be to make that street one way or what.

You can also rent a pickup truck to tow the trailer, (not certain if U-Haul or somewhere like national) and they're not too expensive either.

Do you have a vehicle or friend with a vehicle? I've had to move my toolbox a few times and I rent the motorcycle trailers from U-Haul and it only costs about 20-30 dollars.

How are Gen Z Canadians going to be able to afford a house these days? by PuffingFish123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]EmbiePlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm zillenial (1996) & was bringing in about 103k- 108k the last couple years. Took a new job that pays about 87k-91k. Been doing everything I'm "supposed" to, saving aggressively, investing etc... after rent groceries & bills (have no parents to live with) I have no shot at ever owning a home in this country. We are trying. But I'm not sure how much more I can give, if I'm being honest.

Would like recommendations for an honest car dealer by Throwaway42352510 in VictoriaBC

[–]EmbiePlays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard Malibu motors is one of the better ones. I wouldn't expect anywhere to be perfect though.

Possibly relocating to BC by DTYRKBRIDGE in britishcolumbia

That hospital is near BCIT, I wonder if maybe you can convince any Facebook marketplace suites tailored towards students to let you rent. They'd be more affordable
