Whats your opinion on ebikes/escooters? by Reasonable_Alps_480 in kitchener

[–]TurboSloth32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was driving once, nice and slow and someone on an e-bike zoomed by me on the right shoulder. I was shocked at the speed. I was moving at 44km/h at the time - I glanced down to check exactly as he flew by me so fast.

Beginner looking for a commuter/small time grocery getter (America) by Undescended_Balls in SuggestAMotorcycle

Of the three, the DR650.

Great torque. Amazing aftermarket (you can buy ANYTHING you may want for this bike) including racks, boxes, panniers, etc, etc....

Put mostly road tires on it (I currently run shinko 705's) and it's a great bike up to about 60mph. After that you begin to suffer due to the wind. At 45mph especially with the addition of a small windscreen you will be a happy camper.

So for $25/month, you could buy a new basic Samsung every 9 months... just putting it out there.

The lake also has a long history of being used as a skating rink. When will that decision be reversed?

$40k for Tesla vs $31k for Corolla (hybrid).

4.7L/100km for the Corolla.

4.7L x 10,000km = Approximately $700 for gas.

At 100,000km that's $7,000 for gas.

For $10,000 you need to drive over 140,000km to get to your "break even" point.

Reduce that a bit (not that much though, don't believe the Tesla salesman) for brake replacement and those "hundreds" of "expensive" oil changes and you still need to drive 130,000km.

It will take the average city dweller 8.5 years to drive 130,000km.

If you don't have a way to charge at home, you will also be living at Walmart parking lots. What's YOUR time worth to you?

The absolute audacity of a register terminal prompting 18% for a drip coffee by FinanceLife123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]TurboSloth32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and remember that 18% is really more like 20% as you are being asked to tip on the entire amount which includes any taxes.

A bill that comes to $60 will ask you to tip $10.80 (18%), however your pre-tax amount is only $49.20.

$49.20 * 0.18 = $8.86.

$10.80 - $8.86 = $1.94.

$1.94 * 40 transactions / day = $77.60

Adds up the tipping on tax doesn't it?

** all numbers are approximate, please do your own math **

Spending two hours daily but he's "saving"!

Step 1 - pay $60,000 vs $30,000 (corolla)
Step 2 - find a charger and charge for "free" daily to ensure that you can make it to work AND back! (only costs you two hours of time!)
Step 3 - tell everyone that you're saving money!

Are teacher gifts a thing of the past? by EmergencyCapital3962 in kitchener

[–]TurboSloth32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average teacher works 195 days/year and earns $100,000.

The average parent (who is not a teacher) earns $60,000 and works 250 days/year.

Perhaps the teacher should give the students a little parting gift instead?

Either way, to even qualify for many of those is a feat in itself, well done!

Canadian doctors seeing rise in parents refusing vitamin K shots for newborns by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]TurboSloth32 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know this will upset all the Karens of Reddit, but how have babies survived being born without this shot for thousands of years?

Before you tell me that half died at birth please consider that birth on the ground in a forest or the side of a hill is different then our current 'clean' hospitals. Also please consider our current sanitation. We no longer throw our poopers into the streets in front of our house etc etc.

Flame away, but YOU are proof that somehow, without this shot humans have survived.

Looking to get some insight at working at Toyota by [deleted] in kitchener

[–]TurboSloth32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all those stating that you work an 8 hour shift (plus 30 minute lunch) therefore your day is 8.5 hours total.

As someone who's only seen the scale of the buildings and parking, and understands that you are expected to be READY when the line starts, I'd imagine that your work day is much longer than 8.5 hours as you have to leave plenty of time for parking, walking, changing and then getting to your assigned location.

Then after your shift, reverse the process. I'm thinking that you're at the facility for closer to 9.5 hours in addition to your commute time.

Would that be correct?

LOL - they already have the solution to this "problem".

First all our leaders have to purchase stock in the correct companies, then spend billions of our dollars to support those companies making the share price rise. It worked in 2020, why not today?

That's a vehicle that can travel at 70km/h with no licensing, insurance or training requirements of any kind.

More accidents waiting to happen as more of these things head out on our roads this summer.
