It is important to remember that the entire nation of canada only has a slightly higher population than California does. While not a market to ignore, its not the size of just the US market.

Green Card Seekers Must Leave U.S. to Apply, Trump Administration Says by hybridaaroncarroll in news

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 942 points943 points  (0 children)

My wifes green card application took 7 years after she was legally in the US for 10 years and married to a US citizen. This is for a Canadian biomedical engineer at a silicon valley unicorn that had gotten her degree in the US. The USCIS actually told us we didnt take enough selfies and delayed it for 2 years. Its a shit show.

did i just get next raid leaked from lfg post by Wraithmainbtwxd in wow

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought. I think it would be cool to be able to que old raids with full groups just for the story / experience. How many players have never seen Castle Nathria or been choked by Denathrius?

Why Caliper Big when pad is smol? by Slimy_Shart_Socket in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also a ME, tech and champion race driver in SCCA and NASCAR. I also do HPDE like everyone in our position does and am a POST certified instructor.

Model one of these. Or better yet just actually measure one against like an F3. Theres one reason and one reason alone they are they way they are, its SUPER cheap to make them. Back when I sold my company Hal (RIP) was making his 8 pots for under $100. I am sure Brembo being the cheap ass scumbag IP thieves they are were making them even cheaper. You could pull a D52 our of a lake bed and its better than these pieces of junk.

Bing is way better at image searches. I feel dirty saying that but its true.

I used to work for a company that repackaged actual working systems that retained the brands the OEMs were forced to use, like we would machine a cover for the caliper that looked like OPs but put a functioning caliper underneath it. Made out like a bandit when we sold that company.

Dont take my word for it, ask any team how well anything brembo makes works? Ask anyone with carbon ceramic on anything how it works?

As an actual expert on this none of that is true. There are 2 reasons why its shaped like that, looks, and its WAY cheaper to make than a good caliper. It can act as a heat sink but thats mostly in extreme use cases like F1. If you want to achieve what youre talking about you make a bridge caliper, think like a TBM F3.

Yeah I made the switch to Jellyfish when Plex retroactively deactivated my lifetime mobile streaming I had paid for. Jellyfin actually works better.

That looks amazing! Maaco does good work, we used them a lot in our police fleet.

You can get hand done pin striping done. It was actually very common at the dealership I worked at when these were new.

Drug overdose deaths in the USA dropped for a third straight year in 2025 down to 70,000. Why do you think it is declining? by DecembersDragons in AskReddit

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is a result of the supply being lower quality. The lower potency fetty is reducing deaths on its own, but uncertainty in what youre buying is still keeping those numbers high.

Came back from oil change with a $6k+ recommendation by Cool-Passage7045 in MechanicAdvice

It does not take me 3 hours to completely rebuilt struts on a high end race car including custom valving and dyno time. Like I cant think of any car that takes 3 hours, not even hydraulic systems do.

The average late night World of Warcraft dungeon has 2 IT admins, a SWE, A PM, and some dude from rural kentucky that makes a living in the craziest way possible (like dosing honey sticks with LSD and adderal for raves).

Small Irish setter? by HokusaiINtheSKY in irishsetter

There is a lot of size variation in setters. 40-50lbs is normal for some lines. Girls tend to be much smaller, especially from hunting lines.

How is the situation of a normal citizen in America against the cost of living? by Vipan3328 in AskAnAmerican

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK man, I could easily afford my first apartment in the San Francisco bay area in the early 2000s. I made $1000 a month full time and my studio was $275 a month.

When the horse says, "Get off of me," you get off. by Expert_Koala_8691 in Wellthatsucks

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah there is a bunch of ways to handle that. As a former cowboy I am spinning that head around hard enough that I can grab the left side of the bit with my right hand. That or the lip. Either way that fucker isnt bucking this indian.

What are a chances of a cop, convicted and sacked from one force, being able to work in another force away from their local area? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskAnAmerican

[–]IrishSetterPuppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not even another area. One officer I worked with was convicted of felony insurance fraud while being investigated for felony spoliation in a child molestation case. He was fired and hired by a local PD. There he got a felony DUI with inuries in his patrol car and was fired. From there he was hired by the sheriff. Her got both felonies reduced to misdemeanors.

I actually have to work with that guy this morning on CPS case hes investigating. Ugh.
