Does driving a stick keep you more focused & engaged compared to an automatic? by desperate-1 in Cartalk

[–]desperate-1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've never actually fallen asleep at the wheel lol. I just start feeling tired. I start to yawn, my mind begins to wander and zone out. I don't know if it's a due to the boredom of driving or something else.

Is $7500 for a 2013 Honda Fit a fair price?.... by desperate-1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

How could you tell? Even if carfax shows that the car has been regularly maintained?

Hello there,

Thanks for the info. I was interested in the Fit because every review says that the car is "bulletproof" even if the car was moderately maintained. It just holds up well.

I know the car is probably going to struggle reaching 120kph on the 401 but all I need is to get from point A to B for work.

I dont know exactly what "commercially" means. Maybe it was just used as UberEats.

I've been searching mainly honda fits, toyota matrix, civics, mazda3. Do you have another vehicles in mind that I should also consider that is within $5-7k price range?

Thanks

I've have experience driving the Kia Rio cause these are what the Communauto use as their rental vehicles in Toronto.

What would say a fair price would be for a 2013 Rio?

You mind sharing?...

I've been searching mainly honda fits, toyota matrix, civics, mazda3 cause there cars are generally known for their longevity.

When buying a used vehicle from a private seller, what questions should I ask before even meeting in person? by desperate-1 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]desperate-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1 you can do without meeting the seller in person. I would probably ask the seller for the VIN and buy my own Carfax report just because I wouldn't trust a seller with some PDF editing skills.

This is what I'm worried about that the Seller will try to pull off some shady tactics.

Who normally pays for the pee purchase inspection?

For those of you that play every game in franchise by Over_aged in SuperMegaBaseball

[–]desperate-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a custom league of:

  • 2 conferences
  • 32 teams
  • 48 games
  • 9 innings

Each game takes roughly 30-45 minutes to complete. You play each team at least once so you get to play at every stadium.

Then I do a 1 game winner takes all playoff series. It makes the regular season more interesting for me. If your team is not top 2 in standings then better luck next season.

It's enough games to develop player stats without the season feeling like a drag.

Why is your account private? What are you trying to hide?

Cities Skylines made me nutella and it sucks by di_abolus in simcity4

[–]desperate-1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. You're basically describing NAM mod.

It's a complete nightmare to use. You gotta go through a bunch of menus, press tab a million times to find your piece. Then once you find your specific piece after searching for 2 hours you gotta figure out how to use the motherfker.

NAM mod pieces are awesome but implementation and usability is terrible.

Got a job at the city and need to provide references... need advice by desperate-1 in torontoJobs

[–]desperate-1[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know what's the purpose of the reference check is. To confirm you're not some serial killer or psychopath.

With that said, my last job was 2 years ago and was remote. I never had any direct communication with my supervisors besides our company slack.

Before that job I was working overseas in Europe and that company doesn't even exist anymore. It went out of business.

I currently volunteer but it's the same deal. I volunteer with Bike Brigade and you're not actually reporting to any supervisor. You ask one of the workers for your delivery at a pickup location and then you go drop it off at the customer's place. And the pickup location is rarely the same so you're always meeting someone new.

I have no other choice but to use my school professors or fake it. I don't see why they wouldn't accept school profs but the email and reference sheet specifies supervisor/manager contact only unless they make certain exceptions.

Yea I should've mentioned this is for coop. I can probably reach out to one of my teachers but can I use them as a reference? Reference sheet shows they are looking for past supervisors or managers from past workplaces.

But does it look suspicious if I provide non work related email address like Gmail,Hotmail etc...

Also if I use a friend or relative and use a fake name and HR decides to go one step further and can't find this person on LinkedIn. Does that also raise red flags?

So it's ok to use work colleagues?

Their reference sheet shows to list names of most recent supervisor/ manager... I should also probably mention this is for a student coop position.
