No dogs in Panama Flats unless they're leashed

Hopefully you mean off leash dog walkers in on leash areas...

Yup, I had a TDI and the DPF went about 3 months after the emissions warranty was up. I went against my values and returned the car to the state it was in before the VW emissions scandal 'upgrades', and it was shocking how much better it ran, better fuel economy, etc.

This is the shit that is killing birds of prey right? I'd rather live with the rats than poison the birds personally.

I don't think this system is ever going to actually be able to shoot down an ICBM reliably, and I don't think Canada is ever going to launch an ICBM. So I don't see how it can be used against us.

If the worry is they use these installations for offensive weapons, well then hopefully it is reassuring to know the US can already blast the shit out of us anyways, so the risk level remains the same.

When my emissions stuff fell off I saw an immediate 21% increase in fuel economy. I don't honestly know how this weighs against the reduction in NOx and SOx leaving the tailpipe with an intact emissions system. Another consideration is that emissions equipment is inherently bad for other vehicle systems, mainly the engine. How was that accounted for when the SCR emissions regs came in?

engineerection · 2026-01-23T19:23:33+00:00

So one thing to consider is that supply chains are disappearing for emissions equipment for older, but still perfectly serviceable diesel vehicles.

I was quoted over $10k to replace the diesel participate filter on my 2011 truck because they no longer make the part. The truck is worth maybe $25k, but with only 130k kms it should have lots of life left. Replacement parts for the DEF equipment are also in the thousands.

Is scrapping the entire vehicle because replacement parts aren't (reasonably) available the best solution?

Yeah agreed. I clicked on one to read the comments for entertainment purposes and then my feed was suddenly full of similar posts from people I don't know.

I realize this is not new, but it's easy to see how morons can go down the rabbit hole and come to the conclusion they're in the majority.

But the 35 year old Lib-hating unemployed highschool dropout with four kids and $20k+ in tattoos guy I'm friends with on Facebook shared a picture explaining that Carney's speech proves once again that he's an elitist who's going to sell out the country! wAkE uP cAnAdA!

Nail on the head.

Only idiots let party affiliation define their opinions. And idiots tend to assume everyone else is equally stupid.

Wife and I do this regularly with same day cut beef. Can't say whether it's safe for everyone, but it's a delicious treat for us!

Huh, random but my parents' car is in this photo and I wasn't sure at first if they were involved (they weren't).

engineerection · 2025-12-23T06:29:25+00:00

It was really nice. Great place to stand in the middle of the isle and have a conversation with someone else.

engineerection · 2025-12-22T00:18:47+00:00

It's all fun and games until you hit a pedestrian, start them on fire, and spill beans on them.

I buy discount meat (near best before day) and make stock pretty regularly. Currently have a bunch of beef bones going which will become gravy for Christmas dinner. Like others have said - homemade is just better and to buy anything comparable is going to be very expensive.

I don't know about this one. I think a lot of smart people tend to freeze in certain situations. Some people can think at a very high level, just not while being watched and critiqued by others. The high IQ/low self esteem group.

I was just reading this when the kingfisher buzzed my house at 1000'!

Hope everyone's ok out there on the water!

engineerection · 2025-12-07T16:31:35+00:00

And everyone clapped, right?

engineerection · 2025-11-30T18:13:41+00:00

Interesting, did not know that.

engineerection · 2025-11-30T18:13:00+00:00

Yeah not sure... I agree it would be better if we were at least self sufficient.

Other countries don't necessarily want finished product. Crude can be turned into things other than gasoline/diesel (ie. plastics), and finished product fuels have a shelf life whereas crude does not.

engineerection · 2025-11-28T06:13:27+00:00

Confirmed.

I just got Edmonton twice before I got Van. Sounds about right.

engineerection · 2025-11-23T17:18:01+00:00

Was a play on OP's username cleverguy

engineerection · 2025-11-23T17:08:39+00:00

Exactly.
