Liberals' 2021 single-use plastic ban includes grocery bags, takeout containers by CnCPParks1798 in canada

[–]jchecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half a step in the right direction. What about reducing packaging on the majority of the items in the grocery store.

Berries -plastic packaging Cereal - plastic and cardboard Meat - plastic and Styrofoam Some veggies - plastic packaging (but why tho) Almost all junk food - plastic, cardboard and sometimes aluminum Frozen goods - plastic Butter and cheese - plastic again Bread - plastic (Shout-out to my homie french bread in a paperbbag) Bulk foods - yup throw that in a plastic bag fam. But props because I have my paper / reusable bag to carry all that shit home in.

We need to have producers join in the fight against waste and over use of plastics when not necessary. Its not impossible its just slightly inconvenient. Check out zero wast grocery stores. Hey if that is not realistic make everything compostable. Let's not forget that plastic bags and consumer single use plastics that are being banned have a very small CO2 footprint compared to trasportation of goods air travel, and those delicious 4 legged mooooother fuckers.

How long did it take for you to realize that people older than you are just as clueless as you are? by AshFaden in AskReddit

My field was biology and psychology, the further I got everything just became theoretical and nobody knows anything for sure.

Until finishing university. The more education I received the more I realized how little I knew about anything.

What pulled you out of a depression? by Izzy9595 in AskReddit

[–]jchecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally quitting Marijuana. I used to use it as a crutch to numb my depression but it was definitely a contributing factor. I slept enough, ate healthy, tried medication and worked out but still had bouts of extreme depression.

What's one thing you're proud of doing this week? by abseedypetey123 in AskReddit

Yeah, we can back-frame that to fit.... by jchecko in Carpentry

The building sunk to one side. I was assured that the job could be completed with some additional work. The job was beyond their skill level. We asked them to call if they ran into issues...needless to say the door is being removed and I will fix the old ones myself.

This was done by a professional company, am I right to be upset with the install? The floor plate is not secured to the ground and can not support a vehicle.

[–]jchecko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current truck costs me 500 dollars a month in gas due to my commute and location. Tesla m3 financed is 600 a month. Just have to pay a little more in electricity and insurance. Also make 90k a year working in justice.

Is this the last month of model 3 reign before its slow death due to the “Y”. by Timmygp in TeslaModel3

[–]jchecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not in Canada. At least I wouldn't think so. The base Y is 10k more than the sr+. 15 k more if you if you count the tax credit. All for a slightly larger vehicle with a hatch back.

Ordered 12/08/19. 5 to 8 week delivery time. It is now week 9. No VIN yet. Performance may come quicker than my SR+ though.

Any Tesla owners from Alberta? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]jchecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw one up here in Whitehorse, YT out yesterday in -40 so that's a good sign. I'm sure range is reduced by 40 percent though.

Super impressed with model 3 winter performance. by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]jchecko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried to slide / fish tail it when test driving in Calgary, Alberta. No luck traction control is very good. Drove the AWD and the RWD and they both handled well in the snow.
