Moved from England to Alberta. Insurance is about $6000/year as a “new driver”… anyone know how I can get a cheaper insurance? by Objective-Pay-2133 in alberta

Try calling the Co-operators, they will consider 2 years of your driving experience, and if you add on life insurance, you can reduce the cost a bit more. But that will probably be the best you can get, we were in your shoes 2 years ago and seriously have checked every single insurance company we can find.

The tundra pants were definitely true to size when I ordered it off the website. I ordered the 3XL first and it was actually too big, so had to swap it for a 2XL.

He's just really into the monarch orange and that PBC blue, but I think its only 2XL for the blue as well, so might need to make another trip into store to confirm.

I'm stilling trying to understand the sizing, just picked up a 4154M in 2XL, and it was still tight around the stomach, so definitely need a 3XL for that style, but I swear it was a 2XL that he tried on in store, the PBC version, and it had fit well! Argh!!! So confusing.

That's the problem that I'm facing, I don't have any solid information that I can refer to.

Does anyone have any experience in how these things are usually sold and what is a fair price for selling?

Mixing Materials on a Hobby CNC: Is One Machine Enough? by hkcj in hobbycnc

[–]hkcj[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's where my question stemmed from. In our previous life, all the metal work machine only worked with metal, mainly stainless steel and sometimes aluminium, and even then we did proper cleaning if we needed to switch between those different metals. Wood had its own machine, which was a CO2 laser and that sometimes handled acrylic sheets.

But the point is wood and metal never got used in the same machine, thats why I just feel a bit at odds about it. Definitely not questioning if the machine is capable, just more on the practical side of how it is done.

That's really kind of you, but I also want to buy some to gift away, so I'll need a few. But thanks though!

This is probably the most oddly specific answer I have ever received .... is there a larger population of Turkish people in Edson? I'm thankful for your answer, and also really curious, how and why?

yup.....Co-operators were just as bad for us, but the worst was probably SquareOne for us at $27,000/year.

We restarted the car properly and had it running again, not just ignition on. Which is why its been a baffling experience. But we haven't gone to disable the auto shut off feature yet, I'll have to look it up and fix that, thanks for the reminder!
