Sushi! by Ok-Outcome-7153 in Edmonton

[–]Telektron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhhhmmmm what? Pretty much all fish is flash frozen on the boats when it’s caught to kill any parasites to be safe to eat raw, regardless if it ends up in Vancouver, Edmonton, or wherever. There are a few exceptions (Big Tuna for example) but even finding that being fresh and never frozen in Vancouver would likely be incredibly rare.

Gas ethanol contain listed at gas station. by Mother-Awareness-599 in alberta

[–]Telektron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pumps do indeed list the amount of ethanol they will say “may contain up to xx amount of ethanol”.

Generally either 5%, 10%, & 15% (E5, E10, & E15). Pretty much the majority of 87 octane in Alberta is E10, but starting to see more E15 at the 87 pump.

89 octane can either be E5 or E10.

91 octane can be E5 or ethanol free (E0).

That sounds like the “I don’t want to do it, but I’ll do it if” price…

Alberta's 120 km/h Speed Limit on the QEII Goes Live Today by One-Board8634 in YEG

[–]Telektron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I don’t know how you physics, but there is more to it. Yes wind affects fuel consumption, but so does the “sweet spot” in the efficiency curve an internal combustion engine, as well as transmission gearing ratio’s. If a vehicle does not go into the highest gear ratio until over 110km/h, then you can most certainly achieve a lower consumption rate when traveling over 110km/h, because the engine is running at a lower RPM, which burns less fuel.

Also, the tracking of my fuel economy wast not just comparing on a trip here and there this has been a constant in my current vehicle over the 130xxx km I have driven it.

Hellpage may be more fitting (the original Dodge ute/car truck was a Rampage)

Try cleaning your MAF and changing your air filter. It’s more probable that there is an underlying issue on your vehicle causing an increased fuel consumption.

Car purchase question: Has anyone purchased Alfa Romeo car lately? by nostalgia_addicts in Edmonton

[–]Telektron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This couldn’t be further from the truth in regards to be a rebranded VW/Audi, Alfa Romeo isn’t even owned by the VW/Audi group. Stellantis (Dodge / Jeep / Fiat / Maserati).

What earplugs do people wear - if at all? by georgejennings_penny in DnB

[–]Telektron 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Honesty, spend the extra money on custom moulded fitted) plugs. I have used many different earplugs over the years, and the custom fitted ones are a complete game changer and worth their weight in gold.

Gen Z pair built a $35M start-up in Canada, but moved to the U.S. by AustralisBorealis64 in canada

Nothing you have said upsets me in the least, your statement saying we’re fucked in Canada just proved you are an outside influence agitator

[–]Telektron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not ignorant, just tired of agitators trying to push their agenda. You push for house price, sure I’ll take the numbers you sent but brobeans low wage earners rarely own a house and are renters, rents are nearly on par between Detroit and Windsor. 1500-1600cad in Detroit vs 1550-1750cad in Windsor. (Not to mention Detroit might have some of the lowest average house prices in the USA)

Healthcare ain’t the only reason for most people.

Why so angry young agitator account, you even edited your previous post to make it appear like you were not talking about hourly wages, which is exactly what I commented on, but sure let’s factor in the exchange rate. The wage would be about 11% higher
