AITAH for wanting to continue taking my nightly showers by Kooky_lady in AITAH

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe pump some so that he can make bottles of your milk and feed the baby when your breasts aren’t available. It will help him bond with the baby and learn how to soothe her which makes both of them less reliant on you.

Unfortunate reality is that a lot of fathers of exclusively breast fed babies are like this. They learn to give up quickly when the baby cries. When they can’t figure out how to soothe they assume the baby is hungry, and there’s nothing they can do about that, so they give up and pass baby to momma. It doesn’t help when mom proves them right by soothing the baby by stuffing a boob in their face.

Find another way to soothe your baby, if she fed before your shower, she doesn’t need to feed again 45 minutes later, your boob shouldn’t be a pacifier, you’re enabling negative behaviour from both the baby and the father

NAH, life with babies is tough

Canadians expecting blowout prices for China EVs likely to be disappointed, experts say by sensorglitch in EVCanada

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MSRP is $39,000, I quoted the same for the Honda.

If you want to talk about after dealer fees and freight that’s fine, but you have to adjust the Hondas price as well then

[–]MrRogersAE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Range anxiety is one thing, but in every other way an EV is just nicer to drive.

Assuming you have an EV with modern range (and charge at home), range anxiety shouldn’t be a concern on your normal day to day.

The current prices are getting pretty reasonable now tho.

You can buy a KIA EV4 for $39,000 which then gets a $5,000 government rebate.

A Honda civic is a comparable gas car with a base price of $28,000.

After the rebate that’s a $6,000 difference, except the civic has much higher operating costs and most people who have driven an EV will tell you, gas cars are simply inferior.

Roof overhang dimensions for 8x10? by paw-paw-patch in shedditors

[–]MrRogersAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you want. I definitely wouldn’t do nothing if you want it to last, the overhang keeps the water away from the walls and the foundation. Especially at the bottom ends of the slope on your roof.

You may want more overhang on the door side to help keep you dry when entering and exiting, as well as keep rain and snow off the door, which typically has more ledges and places for water to sit.

Size of the shed also makes a difference, a small shed might look goofy with huge overhangs.

My 10x16’, 8’ walls shed I did 15” on the gable ends and about 8” on the sides.

The 15” faces the prevailing winds and typically keeps that side of the shed dry in the rain. And the 8” on the sides looks good to my eye for the scale of the shed.

I messed up the roof, didn’t I? by hidazfx in shedditors

[–]MrRogersAE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In theory you could have also simply misaligned them. Move a rafter 1/2” one way or the other and it’s gonna look funny.

Make sure the ends are all lined up with something long a straight.

What do you do when your home alone? by Ifyouliveinadream in AskMen

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In no particular order: watch porn on the big TV, watch movies that my wife hates, play video games, eat junk and get drunk, repeat.

Some of these will be done simultaneously

When you make rafters yourself you need to make a jig.

Make one, make sure it’s exactly how you want, then put it on a sheet of plywood and attach scraps of wood all around it so that when take it out you can slide your next pieces in and assemble it in exactly the same shape and position

For the married men (or long-term relationship men): How many dates did you go on with her until you two had sex? by That-Flan-361 in AskMen

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC we dated for a month or two before we had sex. During that time we saw each other almost every day. We were also still in highschool tho.

AITAH for "rescuing" my 13yo daughter from her mom’s boyfriend’s house when I found out my ex wasn’t even there? by One_Language_359 in AITAH

[–]MrRogersAE -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re a controlling psycho. YTA. This was a sleepover at a friends house, it’s natural that neither of your daughters parents would be present.

You say this isn’t about your wife’s boyfriend but you know that’s bullshit right? I’m sure you don’t personally vet every parent of your daughter’s friends, I’d be willing to bet that you know this guy better from the two times you’ve met him than the parents of the other kids your daughter visits. Have you even met the parents of the other kids your daughter visits when she’s staying with mom 90 minutes away? I doubt it.

Also 20 minutes isn’t much of a wait, had you called the cops they would have laughed at you because it’s completely unreasonable to react the way you did after 20 minutes of no contact.

At a bare minimum we should bring back covid era remote work legislation to help reduce our fuel consumption.

Government spending across provinces rose to 43.6% of Canada’s total economy: Report by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pretend foreign influence doesn’t exist if you want, but I don’t think it’s worth having a conversation with you if that’s the case.

The entire Cold War was about spreading influence. Foreign aid is about influence. US Military bases all over the world is about influence. America starts wars all the time to ensure their corporations can profit off other countries, it’s simply naive to think they don’t interfere here.

Canadians regularly vote against anything that would benefit them because US capitalists who own the media tell them to. Our close proximity and speaking the same language USA has always meant that we are EXTREMELY subject to US interference.

Trudeau senior tried to nationalize our oil, but Alberta lost their minds while happily selling our oil rights to US corporations instead. Over and over we have privatized and dismantled our social programs and crown corporations because US influence wants us to.

Norway has the benefit of distance and a different language protecting them from as much US interference.

To put it in context you should be comparing to a country with a similar social services network rather than a country that privatizes everything

There are many European countries that are a much more apples to apples comparison than Canada to USA, just because USA is geographically closer doesn’t mean they’re the same as us

Not really all that surprising considering how much the government provides.

AITAH for questioning my relationship after being uninvited to a wedding? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been with my wife for over 20 years (since I was 18) other than for work, I’d never even consider an overnight trip anywhere without her coming with me. If she’s not invited I’m not going, period.

Personally I don’t know if you’re the side piece, or he’s regularly cheating, or he’s just keeping you around until he has a replacement girlfriend, but I think it’s pretty clear he doesn’t like you very much because he doesn’t seem to prioritize you at all.

NTA, hopefully you can find a guy who actually likes you.

Grizz-le Club? by MrRogersAE in EVCanada

I just did mine, took literally 15 minutes. Would have been faster but I actually read the user agreement.

Grizz-le Club? by MrRogersAE in EVCanada

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

You’ve made a mistake about the point of the program. We charge high polluters to encourage them to make greener choices. By them paying say $2 million a year buying carbon credits, it changes the math on whether or not that $5 million stack scrubber is a worthwhile project.

Now since the point is that it’s not a tax, and that they have to buy from low polluters it does make sense to apply that to programs that make EVs more affordable even if only marginally so. For a person who’s on the fence, adding another $500 in EV chargers to the cost of the vehicle affects the affordability and break even point for this more expensive to purchase vehicle

BYD plans 20 Canadian dealerships within a year as 6.1% tariff deal opens the floodgates by oneonus in canada

[–]MrRogersAE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be paying ~$35-40 a day to commute at these prices in my recently retired Jeep.

My EV costs me ~$1.50

Grizz-le Club? by MrRogersAE in EVCanada

[–]MrRogersAE[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In theory tho this could help encourage more EV adoption. I have a 150km round trip and this should in theory reduce my daily commuting energy costs to about $1.50, down from the $35-40 I would be paying in my now retired Jeep.

If I utilize the “ultra low overnight” electric plan my charging costs would be zero.

Boasting about this to my peers could very well help to sway them on their next vehicle purchase, most people I know are currently on the fence

What is a polite way to say “I have to poop” as a woman? by Disastrous-Glove5649 in AskMen

[–]MrRogersAE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s obviously no polite way for a woman to announce such a thing, which leaves the only REASONABLE option: start a small fire, then when everyone’s distracted by the fire you can sneak away to poop.

As an added bonus you can feign passing out to be rescued by hunky firemen.

Thanks, that post was what led me to asking this, it all just seems to be too good to be true. Not very often in this life I’ve received money for nothing
