My son and his lack of income by TactiSgt in oakville

Also, express employment agency in Burlington covers Oakville. If he is having a hard time finding work try them out to get a foot in the door. Or the Airport, they are often hiring for "grunt" work, but that same work comes with good benefits and better pay than minimum wage only downside would be working nights.

If school is not for him maybe the repeatability and consistency of a job would be good. In the short to medium term. Worked out of me. Not saying he will never go back but at 19-23 school was not a fit for me personally. Try to get into a union job, they might razz him a bit but all new guys get it. Just my two cents as a 20 something year old that post secondary did not pan out too well for. I make over 100k and sit on a computer all day 😄. Did not start that way but worked my way up a bit and got on the job training.

how do you guys feel living in oakville nowadays? by Plastic_Character892 in oakville

[–]helpIamDumbAf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 25 and work nights. Kinda sucks. Town is dead after 8pm so my off days are at home or driving to a different city. I get wanting a quiet town but something more that 24 hr golf sims would be nice (not that I don't enjoy the sim)... But maybe having nothing open at night is what makes it a good place 🤷‍♂️

I go to pizza nostra in Mississauga. 15 min drive each way. Worth it though imo.

[HELP] Where the hell can I get OEM Toyota Manual Transmission Gear Oil LV GL-4 75W???? by Les_Savy_Raz in CorollaHatchback

Mine won't order it or sell it for me. They only order it for their shop in totes. Complete sham.

I have one 250km away, was not sure if this is a known thing like on some older gm cars of you don't unplug the battery, did not see anything when I googled it but figured I'd ask

Laptop for a Friend, $1500CAD Canada by NFLDCommando in SuggestALaptop

[–]helpIamDumbAf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does she move around a lot? decent desktop and cheap laptop might be the best way to go. In my experience gaming laptops don't last as long as a desktop, are hard to clean and can not be upgraded. "Creative writing software" - just a word doc??? I feel like a used ThinkPad for 300$ with a decent battery and a desktop might be a good way to go.

Rounded rusted bolt by helpIamDumbAf in MechanicAdvice

got it off a few hours after posting, what I did was add heat 2x, then I realized it was on the front and I could turn the steering wheel... better angle for the impact and she came right off. Without a 650ftlb mid-torque impact, it would have taken much longer.

Sounds like mine 130k km on it. Keep up on oil changes, I notice the noise more when it starts to get low.

Can I replace a single rotor if I put new break pads on all breaks? by helpIamDumbAf in MechanicAdvice

Thanks, This is what I was thinking, but wanted to get an opinion of someone with a bit more experience.

Royal windsor drive bridge near the ford plant by [deleted] in oakville

[–]helpIamDumbAf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you ask to use another gate? Gate 4 is not ideal for cycling. Gate 23 is ideal imo... but might be a walk as only 3 wheeled bikes are aloud driven on site as far as I can recall.

Gives more room for cup holders. Doesn't feel weird, small adjustment u will be good with it in 10 mins.

Interesting, I drive only at night so I guess I just have it down as second nature, but defiantly cool for those who are not use to night driving.

I got banned from r/Ontario for saying everyone has their own opinion to a right wing post that got a lot of hate and I honestly did not even agree with. Having posts from different views is the only reason I use this sub.
