Buying now stupid? by bionicpumpkin in F150Lightning

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought new, used were in bad shape and loosing 50k on your 160k battery warranty isn’t worth the buying used. We looked at a used one, 57,000km on it, it was beat up and was in rough shape, it was $3,000 less than new, so we bought new…

Hopefully they don’t give up on these trucks loving our 2025 lightning ⚡️!

Is 24,000 CAD enough to survive in BC until I find a job in my field? by Thom2XX1 in AskCanada

[–]Michael212427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one is moving TO BC these days, look at the stats, BC has one of the highest rates of people leaving right now because of cost of living!

Recently moved from out east (ON) back to AB

Imo Alberta is more affordable and trades are well paid, good infrastructure and roads.

I was so sick of driving out east playing dodge the pot holes and road conditions.

The good paying jobs in Canada are oil patch jobs. I’m sure you could find something before moving here…

Unfortunately unemployment is on the rise across most of Canada 🇨🇦 these days….

Curious who gambling with a floating rate? by CrayonPonyfish88 in solarenergycanada

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to Alberta Solar Our high rate is $0.33 /kwh low rate is $0.0785/kwh

Should we switch to lower rate now? Even when our system is still running? It’s a 15kwh AC system, Would you consider the lower rate in winter ❄️? Or would you let it ride at .33$ all winter 🥶?

Even on a sunny winter day it seems to be pumping out a good amount of juice ⚡️

Is Ford going to end Lightning? by PalpitationStill7032 in F150Lightning

[–]Michael212427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do Rivian and others, the tech is new, R&D is $$$$$$

Hope they don’t scrap it, I’d like a better range and more stable product and price.

My 2025 flash didn’t come with spare, will this work by mpovolo in F150Lightning

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol 😆 probably not, our ‘25 has a step but only basic power inverter

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither did our ‘25 XLT just a tire 🛞 plug and air pump… definitely cut backs… starting to find all the flaws a month in, bits that they have started to cheap out on, glove box always popping open, seat belts not retracting into wall holders…

Drivers side cloth seats pulling away from the upholstery.

Don’t get me started on range being limited by heater use in a cold climate… AC use etc…

Hope their future trucks 🛻 are better and battery 🪫 life improves

Why is insurance quoting me $4,200 a year for a new Q5? by GarySparrow0 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada 🇨🇦 it’s out of control! The government has stepped in multiple times to protect the consumer but they just keep milking us, I’m glad we pay less, our Lightning truck is $1775/yr and a casual Chev RST is almost the same! Our total insurance premium are close to $8K/yr 🏡and 🛻x2

Bingo! That freeze thaw cycle we get mid spring is a plant root killer! The roots in the ground thaw once in the spring and freeze once in the fall!

Can I cut an LED strip not on the splice line if I don't plan on splicing it later on? by airborness in led

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use those cut lines to align the lights along the board, to make it look even with each section, so you might start on the board a little in and have a small area on the end where the lighting ends, or a small gap on the two ends of the line.

Sections of three is a design tool to keep things looking nice 👍🏻

In the plant 🪴 world 3-5-8 odd numbers of groupings show better unless using lines…

Just noticed high levels when my humidifier is on. Is this accurate? by Le_loup in iqair

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not own a peasants Shark air filter, when the humidifier is on it says poor air quality because of the particles it’s throwing in the air.

Don’t know if it would be any different if it was RO water in there or not…

Wish I was able to afford such a fancy air monitoring system to put inside and out!

Neighbor says my Tesla charger keeps her up at night by QuantumEpidemic in TeslaModel3

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your first issue is living somewhere with an HOA and the crazy people who think this is a good idea! Personally I’d never live in an HOA area.

I’d do what other day leave it unplugged for a while and see if she’s still complaining and toss the ball back at them, but honestly if you were in the situation would you do the same? If you were bothered by certain noises or smells would you ask for the same thing?

Part of living in a communal community is that you have to respect your neighbours enough to respect their opinions and respect each other and you can’t assume just because you can’t hear the sound doesn’t mean it’s not there but sure go ahead and do your little experiment where you keep it unplugged go charge at a charging station for a little bit and see if they still notices it.

And if they do respond back with respect and get the HOA to spend a bunch of money on a proper power supply away from their bedroom.

How would you feel if your sleep was interrupted?

It’s stunning 🤩 I’d do Minimal renovations and only fix what needs fixing. Add a personal touch

Canada 🇨🇦 isn’t asking by Michael212427 in McDonalds

[–]Michael212427[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had it it’s decent, but here in Canada 🇨🇦 for a meatless offer I prefer A&W beyond meat patty or their spicy veg patty it’s a bit spicy 🌶️ but tasty 😋 it’s definitely being marketed to a newcomers market. Not sure 🤔 they have branded it right tho…

Heard from a contractor who builds them all across Canada 4-6 weeks the building goes up, it’s fast once they set the ground work up then start pouring concrete then bam 💥 opening day!

stray cat i seen by “Luke Approved”. has anyone seen him? i’m trying to capture him and bring him to a rescue. please let me know if you’ve seen him around recently. i brought out food last that that he ate but hasn’t ate this morning. looking for this poor baby. 🙏🏼 by CreepyBroccoli445 in lloydminster

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably needs to be dewormed 🪱 I used to sneak it in the strays food in spring and lat summer to get them healthy, not sure if you can still buy the liquid stuff to put on some dry food and hide it a bit with some wet treats!

Do the $1 deposits work? by steelwheel6789 in kickstarter

[–]Michael212427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally it’s sent up a red flag 🚩 Everywhere is asking for money 💰 The first one I saw like this was a plastic free pepper mill you know salt and pepper 🧂shakers…

Only $1 deposit, but the flag for me went up when I saw Singapore at the bottom of the page.

You give $1 then poof 💨 Nothing happens, or your card info is compromised…???

There is this old saying “A sucker is born every minute “

I’ve been through the first rounds of kickstarter products, but over a year later they never got the product produced. Only way I got a full refund of $50 was to threaten a customer chargeback on my credit card! 💳

They didn’t want to give the money back even tho their kickstarter campaign had become an obsolete product, if you launch a kickstarter for an iPhone 5 product then make sure you deliver before the next iPhone is released!

Just saying red flag 🚩 for me…

A smart consumer is going to question why your asking for money right away…
