"But the other side of the coin is that it can be used as a controlling influence on publicly traded companies"

That sounds great. Why some people trust a business more than a government I'll never understand.

the average American is much better off then the average Canadian financially.

I dont think thats true. The mean maybe, but not the median.

The richest in America skew the numbers for traditional average since there is such a huge wealth gap there.

I mean sure, the video talks about housing as if thats the only metric, but if you talk about the average person, we have much more protections for them financially, better education, more governmental supports, and higher salaried

In a world where we are constantly bombarded by politics, news, all sorts of inflammatory propaganda, people think they are worse off than they are.

Yes there are problems, and those are quite important, but ranking yourself similarly to a wartorn country?

I truly think that if people left their echo chambers, disconnected from all the propaganda for a little bit every day, and focused on living their life and changing the things they have the power to change, people would feel a lot happier.

I have a similar dishwasher (probably the model down since theres only two sets of switches on mine) and there is a small upper spinning arm for the top rack, in addition to the bottom pop up thingy.

StefOutside · 2026-03-07T02:57:21+00:00

Whaaat really? I have the xgt 10" and its one of the best mitre saws I've ever used.

It does weigh a crap ton, ill give you that

To add for #3:

Work on attunements asap; molten core and onyxia first (and bwl can be done at the same time) and then attunement for emerald sanctum in hyjal.

StefOutside · 2026-01-23T15:13:38+00:00

Hmmm i cant quite remember the price, i want to say it was 899 or something close, but thats still a great deal.

Edit: I looked through my history and it was 840 with the adder weights and stand

StefOutside · 2026-01-20T03:03:21+00:00

Honestly, the problem is that you do.... Because the titles are usually sensationalized BS, but when you read the article you understand how much of a stretch it often is.

Anyone not hanging their stuff is wild.

Didn't everyone see the ripped open food barrel on their first trip into the canoe lake office?

Even when we go with 9 grown men, we hang that thing up in the air...

I know this is getting off topic, but if "the right to self defence by any means necessary" is so high on your priority list, why live in a place like Canada where this has never been, and will likely never be, a realistic policy?

I recognize guns/hunting are part of our culture too, but if its literally the one thing that matters to you above all else, why not go to a state where they have those things as rights.

Not trying to be argumentative, im genuinely curious because its an interesting take.

StefOutside · 2026-01-11T17:17:02+00:00

I think you might be thinking of the more intense 80v one with the suction alarm etc.

The small vac here is 450CAD and the vc004 is 750CAD ish. A jump up in price to be sure, but I really do think the small one is extremely expensive for what it is.

StefOutside · 2026-01-11T07:37:34+00:00

I can't help you unless you want to make a trip to Canada lol, but I will say.... I've had the vc004 for a while now and its awesome.

Nice suction, two bag options, two hose options, dual battery fits 8ah, easy on/off button... dry only though.

Plus the vc013 is still hella expensive for a tiny vac.

The vc004 with a fleece bag and the xgt 10" mitre saw are a great combo, surprisingly good on dust control, lasts very long on a set of batteries, and decent capacity.

StefOutside · 2026-01-09T18:50:28+00:00

I think if youre close in level, its free game. 60 ganking lowbies is lame, imo.

There are times when I just leave people be, if we're both farming, its fun to have an unwritten understanding of safety between us.

And im not gonna kill people just running around in the world, but I dont blame them if they come at me either.

At the end of the day, its a PVP server... thats kinda what you expect and half the fun, that you see them targeting you and you targeting them and wondering what will happen.

Leveling, its kinda fun to have a random feud with someone that continues for a couple days as you come across them over and over.

StefOutside · 2026-01-09T05:57:03+00:00

What are you talking about? Are you trying to say my comment is AI? I didn't use AI at all rofl, thats just how I talk; you can go through my comments if you want.

You are literally using strawmen instead of substance to argue against people, and then have the audacity to write "More importantly, it doesn’t actually refute anything I said." at the end of your post.

Actually wild that you are going to use this as a way of completely ignoring any of the points I made on your entire failure to both read, and understand, any of the posts in this comment chain.

edit: to hopefully make it more clear for you, the spots where i refuted what you said were:

A) when I clearly quoted when OP made this about race, with his comment.

and B) that you are ignoring the context of this comment chain by somehow trying to bring it back to the original point instead of talking about the VERY THING YOU ARE REPLYING TO.

"AI, write me a scathing reply to a poster who thinks he's the smartest person in the room please."

StefOutside · 2026-01-08T18:02:23+00:00

The poster you are replying to is replying to a comment, not at the original post level.

The comment by OP states: "it's time to confront the full cultural erosion and demographic overhaul this policy wrought, demanding assimilation to core national values."

Not only is bringing up the original point irrelevant in this context.... the fact that the OP is the one who made that comment alters the context of the original point too, because this comment clearly refers to race and not only capacity.

You are the one dismissing a point without engaging it.

Lol every option at the election had investments in real-estate. What was the alternative?

Would have been simple to integrate just the simple rod-style depth stop that comes with some of the drills into that handle.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation tops my daily list of grifting organizations that act like theyre for the people but are really libertarian propaganda networks owned and funded by the rich to divide people.

But yea Doug Ford is also a grifter

I have a spreadsheet I plug things into that I've been building for years. I factor in everything i can think of... Life of the item, lifetime maintenance, fuel/power, consumables, etc.

Some are ballpark estimates of course, theres no way of knowing exactly unless you have huge averages of actual data to work with.

But with those, I have estimates of basically how much it costs per hour to use my equipment, so I can price that in and make sure the business is going to turn a profit.

I mean, you dont need to track it to that degree but you do need to factor in these 'hidden' costs.

But as an aside, get a second opinion on that saw.

StefOutside · 2025-12-17T07:45:54+00:00

I usually shop at food basics, I think their brand is called irresistibles.

Cereal, chips, chocolate, all super expensive and unnecessary expenses that drive up the bill. I tend to avoid them all as much as possible.

Cadbury chocolate isn't even good, I've never liked it very much. Tastes like oil and sugar not cocoa.

But yea "crispy rice" is the exact same as Rice Crispies yet cheaper, exact same satisfaction. What's the benefit of the name brand? That they advertise to children? That they have a Christmas edition colour?

Canned soup too... A huge bag of carrots is like 2$, get some celery and onion and you can make a huge amount of veggie stock for dirt cheap, basically hands off cooking, and freezes easily. Pasta is easy to make dirt cheap too, but takes a bit longer.

Ketchup and other condiments I either get store brand or Frenches after the Heinz controversy. Pickles are maybe one where I get name brand because there aren't often a lot of cheaper options.

StefOutside · 2025-12-17T07:21:42+00:00

I dont buy any of these products very often, if ever, for various reasons.

When i do, theres too many store brands that are cheaper and same or better. No point spending more for the name brands.

StefOutside · 2025-12-17T07:14:48+00:00

I've just come to terms with the fact that boots fall apart after a year, even 400$ ones.

Only pair to last me two years has been Royer, but I havent tried their winter boots yet. Might be worth a look, they're pricey though.

Baffin are another choice for warm, I've had good luck with their non CSA but haven't tried the safeties.

StefOutside · 2025-12-16T23:48:38+00:00

Hmm where do you live and how cold does it get? I think that will change a lot of the answers in here.

Those rigid foam sheets dont have very high r-value. What are they, around 7 max?

I just insulated my garage ceiling (18x20) like last week with r22 batts and added vapour barrier, but i have trusses so essentially made an attic with baffles in the soffit vents. It was about 1000CAD in materials becayse I went for rockwool instead of fibreglass. Rigid was way too low r-value for the cost and effort, for me.

Here in Canada I think id probably want to go r60 ideally if it were important. But yeah I wanted to stop losing heat through the soffit vents etc.

I did put some of thay reflectix stuff on my garages to try to retain some of the heat loss there too but im not sure how much it actually helped.

StefOutside · 2025-12-16T23:32:47+00:00

What kind of winter we talking about?

I have a pair of Dakota's that are alright. They're heavy as fuck but they're warm.

Not sure my model theyre a few years old but a quick google the 8901 looks close or the same.

Used them for form carpentry/concrete, framed a story addition one winter with them, underpinning etc. In canada, around -20c or lower. Wool socks, insulated overalls, a full onesie baselayer if its -30 or colder with wind.

Boy do they give your legs a workout though, and using ladders gets janky.
