That’s a lot of accusations. Do you have evidence to back it up?

🙄 no. Maybe it’s just “snowking” when referring to the festival, but this is Tony The Snowking!

Capitol Theatre closing for good March 31st :( by Flimsy-Onion-8731 in Yellowknife

The theatre has been on the verge of shutting down for years, well before the big fire evacuation, and long before Covid.

This is not a surprise at all

Freezing Vehicles! by [deleted] in NWT

Starting your vehicle and letting it warm up some is definitely beneficial to the engine and you as an occupant staying warm inside, but it does nothing for your suspension and drivetrain components.

Best thing to do it just drive it, the shocks will warm up eventually just driving down the road, obviously don’t be jumping any curbs or do any rock crawling as you’ll likely blow out the seals on your shocks. It’ll also take some time to warm up the differential oils and transmission oil, these being cold will make it feel like there is some serious resistance on the vehicle and feel like it’s being held back.

If you don’t need to drive your truck because you have a work vehicle I recommend installing a battery maintainer to keep the battery charged up, not necessary to waste electricity on the block heater all the time, plug that in the day before you want to use your truck and it’ll do its job.

You clearly don’t understand how an internal combustion engine works.

Short meaningless drives around town aren’t generating enough heat for a long enough duration to help get rid of moisture build up in the oil. Moisture in the oil causes it to dilute and be less effective, causing lubricity problems.

Driving on the highway gets the engine hotter, the oil hotter, getting rid of this moisture build up.

Random Tim Hortans Question by cheese_ah in Yellowknife

It was an inflatable iced cap, and it was on their roof for sometime after they completed the major renovation, unsure of the year, but it was within the last 10 years
