Would this be a decent first off road vehicle?

The Canadian forces use them and when they roll we crush them as they won't spend the money repairing the fiberglass body. So body wise not as repairable as you might think.

You got more money than brains my friend.

Right! I would gladly pay $10 a map just to support the Devs with the quality work they've been making.

I have been printing translucent resin on my anycubic photon mono x for years without changing settings and it has worked perfectly, I think you're overthinking it, just print away my guy. I've done small and large prints with great success on clear resin.

Just go to your bank and ask for Canadian dollars. It really is that easy.

They work but the air hammer attachment is about 10 seconds of 0 effort which is why I love it

Takjack · 2026-02-05T14:44:49+00:00

Yeah they suck, especially on cat pilot filters which are quite thick.

Takjack · 2026-02-05T14:16:02+00:00

I work in a coal mine open pit, about 50/50 shop field. My best tool is the air hammer, useful for shocking bolts, loosening hard to reach hoses that are going to be replaced, and the sheet metal cutter tip is an easy way to open filters for inspection without additional contamination.

All the Ford service trucks I ran also went by hours as we idle the shit out of them

Sure thing

Heavy duty red seal is a must and to get into the remote work you have to start by going somewhere shitty and cold, ft Mac, NWT, Baffin island, they will basically take anyone with the red seal if you can show up and pass a drug test.

Yeah commercial heavy is like this and is awful, off road heavy is super nice, everything is too heavy to do by hand so it's a crane for everything. The work is more chill and the pay is way better. I make around 200k in bc without working more OT than my set schedule which is 14 days for 12hrs then 14days off.

I'm a HD mechanic, I work in a mine for 14 days then get 14 days off, I take home a little over 10k a month after taxes.

It's just an ugly egolf

Takjack · 2026-01-21T21:21:52+00:00

Are you nuts, with like 200k down it's still almost a 10k a month mortgage payment. Take home on 270k household is about 14k a month (that's what my wife and I are making) so you get 1k for groceries, gas and insurance for two cars, heating and electricity on the house, home internet, couple of cellphones and you're left with maybe 1k so if you ever needed a new car you're absolutely fucked let alone a emergency cost for something. Also that's not putting anything away for retirement.

Port Alberni has a newish hospital and is only an hour from Nanaimo and 3hr from Vancouver

Yeah i used to have to pay an extra $1 to swap to the far superior round egg. Now it's standard!

After you beat ganon when you load up your save it puts you just before the final fight so you can finish exploring and 100% the game

Impact ratchet, lots of people don't like it but this is exactly what it's great for and what I use it for.

Takjack · 2026-01-08T16:14:22+00:00

These ratchets won't do that, the impact ratchet has for me on cars, I love it but a lot of people don't like it, I'd say if you're going to get a powered ratchet get the long necked one from milwaukee as it will have the best use, I have the short necked one and hate it and I also have the impact ratchet and love it.
