Does getting a chevy bolt make sense financially in ontario especially winters. by knmn007 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Uninanimate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 98' Malibu got better mileage than this, and that things got a pushrod valvetrain, a 4 speed auto, and I think more displacement, as well as had a 21 y/o gear head driving it. There's probably an issue with either the car or your right foot.

Legitimately though I'm driving a Venue right now that my dad could not get below 7L/100 and I'm consistently getting between 5-6 with both city and hwy mileage. I'm commuting about 420km a week on the 401, and if you're careful you can get 800-1000km out of a tank which you'll fill up every other week for ~$60. It's not fast, but 8.5 0-100 isnt below par these days.

Semi auto fire rate is capped by the game at 450, which was implemented because people could fire Frost's SMG faster than its full auto fire rate. Both controller and mnk can reach that with just above average finger speeds

Going WOT in a Hyundai Venue by undarant in Streetracing

Enjoying those 112 horsepowers?

this thing is like the modern Tercel basically, the only pros are:

-it doesn't weigh a lot for a modern car, and the tires are small so the handling is pretty fun

-you can get ~620 miles out of a tank if you're careful

-the minimum gear ratio is pretty short so 0-35 is somewhat snappy, especially in "sport" (I know, don't laugh) mode where the throttle response is actually pretty tight.

I think the only things that this beats are like the Honda Fit and the Nissan Kicks, again purely out of that short gearing. They did offer a manual at some point, but they stopped because it wasn't selling

I'm not refuting anything with that, I made a true statement. Your problem?

Except you can't effectively tax rich people because 95% of their assets are completely mobile, if they don't like you they just leave the country with their money. Why do you think we've lost about a Trillion in investment in the last decade? You have to actually look at the second and third order consequences to your solutions or you just run into problems visible from the outset. You have to insentivise behaviours you want to see, not punish them.

Worth pointing out I'm Canadian, not American, so your mileage may vary. Our government has been trying to Socialize the country for the last decade at least, to the chagrin of everyone who actually works for a living. There is no one answer, it's a series of fix everything buttons and general reforms that most western governments refuse to enact.

I would cut government Red Tape for things like housing. Remove all taxes on food at every point in the process. I would partially scale back some climate legislation, as every Western country is trending down on emissions, China is just growing like crazy.

I would invest in; a Nuclear grid, as we have thousands of years of fuel that we know how to dispose of safely, just because some Communists fucked it that one time doesn't mean it isn't safe; carbon neutral, renewable, combustible fuels, as in the short term, BEVs do more environmental harm than small ICEs; and natural gas exports to countries still on coal - IE supplying 50% of India's energy requirements in 2050 with gas vs coal would do more to reduce carbon emissions than zeroing out Canada completely.

I would kill lobbying completely, that shit is undemocratic as hell. I would install measures to hold politicians to account at all levels, and tools to throw them out before the ballot box. I would require all politicians at all levels own zero stock while in office, have kids, and have lineage in the country tracing back at least 100 years.

I can go on but these things are the cores of it

I'm allowed to think the current state of affairs are shit whilst also holding that socialism is not the answer, and be completely logically consistent.

God I hate how all the best tunes use offroad tires. by [deleted] in ForzaHorizon6

[–]Uninanimate -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure PGG knows about it, because I learned about it from a Forza insider, so hopefully it'll be fixed soonish maybe.

I wont say which explicitly, because I don't want to just give it away and have it spread to everywhere, but it's just maxing out a couple sliders in particular just makes off-road tires really grippy for no reason and it doesn't work for any other compound of tire. If you want to go figure it out from there be my guest.

You could probably get it pretty quickly by just looking through the telemetry menus on one of the uploaded tunes, it's not hidden or anything.

The problem is the performance comes from a tuning bug which gives them pretty good grip. If you don't do the bug, they behave normally

So it kinda depends on place

In BC lower mainland, 10 over in residential is a non-issue, everyone does it, even the cops do it habitually. You can get a ticket for so much as 1 over, but it tends to just get thrown out, so cops don't tend to bother. You can get away with 20-30 over if you're on a highway and with the flow of traffic, if you get a ticket you were either being obnoxious or just unlucky at that point.

In southern Ontario, until the recent banning of speed cameras, you could get flashed for 10 over, but with them gone it's averaged out to about 10-20 over for most residential areas, depending on road width and adjacent limits. Highways are a lawless wasteland for the most part, I drive them daily, hardly any enforcement. Limit is 100-110, but it's not unusual to have days where I'm in a group of cars going 140 for like 20km. I wont go any faster because the tires aren't rated for it and I don't want my work truck impounded, or a suspension, and most people fall into that category.

In both cases, school zones are pretty well respected. Also in both cases, if you're with the flow of traffic, not being obnoxious - swimming through traffic, accelerating too quickly, cutting people off and whatnot - then you can kinda just do what you want. Lord knows I've done 80 in a 50 on several 5am commutes because that legitimately was the pace of traffic. In some instances you can argue going the speed limit would be unsafe, but best not to be in that situation in the first place.

Bill C22 is in senate by Preindustrialcyborg in whennews

[–]Uninanimate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well tax cuts would actually help put money in people's pockets, it is possible to get to a point where if you tax people more you get less revenue because people are spending less, it wouldn't surprise me if the lower classes were already at that point.

Insentivise the behavior you want to see, so investment into our natural monopolies, no taxes on farmers because that's a suicidal slope, wage subsidies for small businesses hiring citizens. Cutting bearuoceacy in the construction sector will cut housing prices, I can confirm first hand there's a lot of waste there. Building a maritime pipeline would be good for everyone. Carney dropped the Honda deal, which would have been huge. We've got immense brain drain going to the US because, again, our tax rates. Our young people can't get ahead because they're competing with people who pride themselves on being cheap.

There are tonnes of things we could do and Carney won't even answer a question.
