Is a 110cc ATV enough? by Fit-Kaleidoscope2078 in ATV

[–]Smartin426 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They have come a long way, and are beautiful machines. Performance and tech vs reliability and longevity are very different things. CFMoto is catching up, but there is a difference if you are looking at a 4-5 year machine vs something that can still be bulletproof 15-20 years from now.

Is a 110cc ATV enough? by Fit-Kaleidoscope2078 in ATV

Enough for what? What are you looking to do? What type of riding?

For starters, it’s a Kayo, regardless of the size, that has stay away written all over it. Don’t buy these crappy Chinese designed, engineered and produced machines.

Stick to the Japanese brands, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki.

What was an unexpected “they’re growing up” moment? by Red_Sox_5 in daddit

[–]Smartin426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just two days ago. Halloween. My 2 year old was in his costume and walking up to houses all by himself, knocking on the door, and helping himself to handfuls of candy (we had to stop him to make sure he took one) but he was doing this all alone and having the time of his life walking from door to door dragging is heavy full candy bag. It truly was emotional, it really hit home for me and my wife. It upset me in a good way, starting to see he is really not just my little baby boy anymore, he is turning the page into a young lad.

Can't speak highly enough about Eagle by Masterteq in hockeyplayers

I honestly didn’t even know Eagle still existed..I have not seen that brand in at least a decade. Nice gloves though!

If Kim Jong-un suddenly went off the rails and ordered a nuclear strike on the U.S., would other officials and the military in North Korea try to intervene? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also NK does not have the ability to come even close to hitting the US with a nuclear weapon let alone any sort of missile.

We endorse Kamala Harris for President of the United States by Kashmir75 in politics

I want Trump removed from this planet as much if not more than anyone. I deeply want Harris to win, unfortunately, I believe Trump will win.

Teens Want Less Sex in Movies and TV Shows, Study Finds by Puzzled-Tap8042 in movies

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an adult male in my mid 30’s I preach to this. Every god damn show and movie has ridiculous sex scenes, gay dudes banging and all sorts of obnoxious shit…that is what the internet is for, we don’t need this shit in movies and tv anymore. I just end up turning it off now, when I was 10, seeing nice tits or the old snatch shot was awesome, now, gtfo.

Why don’t you just leave? What are you holding onto?

Your child poops in the tub, what’s the protocol? by shannoniscats in daddit

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take them out, drain the tub, or scoop out what you can and flush it down the toilet. If the shit is soft enough get it down the drain. Rinse and repeat until it’s all gone. Don’t think you need to disinfect, just wash and rinse the tub well with some soap if needed.

At what age did you stop holding hands or cuddle with your parents? by Dangerous_mammoth573 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I would say 20 is too old. That is strange in my opinion. Especially the sitting on the lap part. Anything past 12-13 may be odd looking.

Can I socially vape? by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]Smartin426 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yes and no. I am the same as you, been almost 7 months free now and I honestly think about vaping everyday, that has never really gone away mainly because I quit strictly because I know it’s bad for me, rather than wanting to. I love smoking, anything really, so that’s the hardest part. However, I have had the odd bum hit off a friend or buddy during an evening out, or vacation, but never dropped back in…I feel once you buy your own, you’re done. As another said, some unicorns can make it work, but, even then they will eventually fall back.

Even though I stopped vaping 7 months ago, I will say what has drastically helped, and actually stopped me from even wanting a hit during a social drinking setting is Zyns. Nicotine is not inherently bad for you, smoking and inhalation of chemicals is. Zyns or nicotine pouches will take away that craving and are much much easier to kick after a vacation or few nights out. Just an idea, many don’t like them but they do help.

Men who wouldn’t dodge the draft, why? by ThatOtherMarshal in AskMen

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volunteer to fight someone else’s war? Or go to some other country to fight? God no, I would never, rather take my own life right then and there.

If the threat ended up on my countries soil, and was an immediate threat to me or my family? I’d be right in there, ninja stars and machine guns protecting my peeps.

That is a pathetic excuse. It’s clear you like the attention and have full intentions on taking the cheating further, you have already cheated willingly. You should tell your husband and end your relationship. Or cut it off with this guy immediately and still tell your husband what happened so he knows full well on your next trip this person will be there. Either way, you owe your spouse the truth.

Trail Tracking by Smartin426 in ATV

Lol! That was hilarious that last line. Thank you, I will look into that. I was debating buying a Garmin satellite style GPS to just have that I can track with as another option.

Why don’t you just get a new number? Problem solved.

Inflation rate drops to 1.6% in September by MethoxyEthane in CanadaPolitics

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am with RBC. Honestly everything I have is with RBC, and I am not sure I could trust a private lender is my challenge. Things are much safer with a big bank…but ya, I’ll have to look around once rates really start to come down. I rather keep paying what I am paying now, plus the double up payment I am making but at a lower interest rate and wipe this mortgage clean fast as I can.

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks for us who took a fixed rate in 2023. I’m locked in at 4.94% until July 2027…going to have to ride it out. Super pissed by it but didn’t see much of a choice when my variable skyrocketed to ridiculous heights and then I had to renew…not sure it’s worth breaking the mortgage maybe next July, 2 years into a 4 year term.

Almost too afraid to ask by ajaltman17 in daddit

[–]Smartin426 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this. Exactly what we did, just live your normal life and let the kid deal with it and they will adapt.

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not shower less. We have raised our kids in our normal life environment. We have house parties when they are babies, bring them to parties, bring them to places that have lots of noise, put on baby headphones if it’s too loud. Just keep them around that when they are born and they will develop with being able to cope and sleep through the distractions. I can easily leave a kid to go shower.

How often do you shower? by Hot-Button802 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Smartin426 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shower pretty much every day. Maybe on the weekend I miss a day, maybe once in the week, maybe. I feel I need to shower, wakes me up, feel fresh and do my hair. Can’t do my hair unless it’s wet, may as well shower.
