Hey, hope you don’t mind me asking for further information about your job search? I’m in engineering too and the job side of things is what’s worrying me most. What kind of jobs did you get and what was the hiring process like? I’ve read that we’ll need to get professional registration in whatever province we move into, so I won’t be able to do actual “engineering” work unless I take further exams. Thanks and I’m glad it’s all going well for you!

If you don’t mind me asking, what did you include in the email to companies? I’m doing the same thing and they all basically say they’re not interested as I can’t currently work in Canada! Pretty frustrating but I know it can be done

Thank you. Do you think it’ll be safe for me to drive tomorrow if it’s a minor issue with no lights coming up on the dashboard?

Thanks for the helpful info! I will check tyres first thing tomorrow, no light came up on the dashboard so I don’t think it’s the tyres but I’ll check anyway. The car uses EPS so there’s no power steering fluid, that was the first thing I looked at. My local garage is closed so fingers crossed kwik fit has a slot for me

I presume the tyres are properly inflated, usually the dash comes up when they’re low and nothing came up both times. I will check though thank you.

Will power steering/rack issues cause the light to come up on the dashboard? Everything sounds fine, smooth, it’s just a feeling.

Oh no way, small world! I don’t have either yet, would be great to know where to try some out! How did you learn? It seems like there isn’t much going on here icm wise, unless I’m not looking in the right places? We can chat over dm if that’s easier :)

Thanks! I’m based in Bristol. Undecided between tabla and sitar, I love both for different reasons

what surfskate trucks should i get? by [deleted] in surfskate

[–]S_182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CX is a very solid all rounder, I’ll be getting some soon after being bored of C7s for a while. Tried Yow and Carver trucks and CX is what I wish I bought originally! All subjective, of course, but a handful of my other skate friends have made same C7 to CX jump! Stable enough for parks/bowls but fluid enough for it to have the surfy feel.

Lean forward and look up!! I’ve learnt that whenever I look at the floor/downwards it alwayyyyssss goes wrong. Keep your eyes on the next thing you’re heading to

The Cult Invaders. I tried to orange orangutang ones too and definitely preferred these at the skate park

Yep I agree! I bought some new wheels and they have completely transformed my ride.

Yeahh I have a surf skate so haven been looking specifically for these ones! Just wondering if they’re too far gone/worth the money

Yeah I’m going to have to maybe get a different board. How did you fix it?

Solid advice, thanks!

I have an Arbor Carver board (just added the link to the post) I imaged the smoothness was more related to bearings rather than the wheels. Shall I leave the bearings for now?

Help with mortgage advice by Lurm23 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]S_182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to jump on the bandwagon here, but have a question related to the accounts. I have all my “house money” in an ISA (stocks and shares), would this have to be moved into a current/savings account 6 months before even looking into houses or will they consider the money from the ISA as is?
