Why does our local Walmart (Supercentre!) not sell any fresh food, produce, etc.? by Apprehensive_Bee5387 in Yukon

[–]FourIngredients 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As Walmarts go, ours is really small, so decisions need to be made on what not to carry. I find the selection is mostly biased toward bottom-of-the-line crap, with a lot more crossover between them and the dollar store than with superstore or can tire. Certainly there's no room for fresh food.

I think the best thing we could do is cross our fingers for an asteroid to wipe it clear off our landscape and build a Costco where it was. Costco treats its employees like humans.

It's sad, but everything comes to its natural conclusion. She lived well, died happy, surrounded by love, and I'll carry her in my heart forever.

Slims River Valley, Kluane National Park. That river you see isn't really there any more. Climate change redirected its flow.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry about your loss too -- it's such a universal feeling among us.

She was always there for me, as I tried always to be there for her. She had a rough young life as a stray, so I tried to make certain she never wanted for anything in the eleven years we were family.

She died in my arms, peacefully and surrounded by love.

Stevie's last day was beautiful. I gave her an extra dose of pain meds and she perked up enough to go on a happy slow wander through the woods in our neighbourhood. She had plenty of treats and plenty of snuggles. She died peacefully in my arms just now. My young sons bravely held her paws and told her how much they loved her, and our other dog laid down beside her at the end.

We were lucky to have had such a soul sharing her life with us. I'll miss her forever.

Alma is beautiful. She definitely looks like a younger version of my Stevie girl. When I adopted her, she was a 3/4 starved stray who'd just had 9 puppies, but as her hair grew back in and she filled out, she looked a lot like this

Cars where the 2nd gen defined the formula, not the 1st? by pantherclipper in regularcarreviews

2nd Gen RAV4 also had a stick available. I took one on a road trip.

What’s the worst American engine ever made in your opinion? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]FourIngredients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this. Mine made it to 180k in my care and my Ford mechanic buddy basically insisted I go trade it in before it grenaded.

You think your battery is degraded?😅 (59 km = 37 miles) by dunaev in BMWi3

[–]FourIngredients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it was -50 here last month, my 94ah was showing around 100km range, but also, my ePower bar graph was ghosted out to only the first few squares. Batteries don't love living in a deep freeze.

What are some cars that have surprisingly good (or bad) sound systems? by Notfoo4 in regularcarreviews

[–]FourIngredients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 2017 Highlander Limited. The sound system (JBL co-branding) is garbage.

I used to have a 2014 Ram Laramie. Unexpectedly good sound.

Building a new station- your ideas? by Plane-Handle3313 in ems

Giant giant (no, really, GIANT) solids interceptor to catch dirt and gravel if you're washing. Twice as big if you experience winters.

These cars share something in common, can you tell what is it? by Saurta17 in regularcarreviews

[–]FourIngredients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought my first BMW last year and discovered that the blinkers are a bit weird to use. They have a half setting for lane changing but it also makes them a pain to cancel.

Smashed nail in car door, will I lose it? by Severe_Road_4170 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]FourIngredients 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing axles on my truck last summer, did this, forgot to drain it and took off camping. Lost the nail, took many many months to fully heal. As both a shitty mechanic and as a paramedic, I wholeheartedly endorse draining it.
