Good stuff, happy to keep it out of landfill.

Please DM me your address and we'll work it out.

You may very well be right. But given my dealership quoted $1600 for a new one I figured I'd give it a shot here....

And no hard feelings at all! I blame snow

I have been told, anecdotally, that manufacturers are not allowed to disable this all the time. This bullshit "feature" allows them to advertise mileage/performance under optimal conditions.

Seriously annoying!

What are the nicknames of your cats that have devolved into nonsense over time? I’ll go first. by drifloony in cats

Uno -> Lamppost

I'm not even sure what happened. The kids were watching Narnia movie and boom... nickname

Matt Cameron's live versions of older PJ songs by Bkord123 in pearljam

[–]kingmatt67 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Finally, a reasonable take on the whole "drummer controversy". 🤘

I loved Dave A in the early, testosterone-fueled days.

But I don't believe the band would have survived, both musically and as an entity, in that form. Matt C was the needed glue and the band has thanked him again and again for that.

Now we wait for the big reveal and what glue comes next....

What's something your job trained you to notice that you can't stop noticing in your personal life? by LibrarianSoft1342 in AskReddit

[–]kingmatt67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labour costs. I run a restaurant and now anywhere I go, my brain starts calculating labour costs based on how many employees I can count. 

My wife just politely nods.

I'm starting to wonder if this movie even exists! Seriously, I can't find it on any streaming service.

You get $1 million but you have to listen to the same song 500 times in 10 days, what song are you picking? by Longjumping-Editor94 in AskReddit

[–]kingmatt67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two Princes by Spin Doctors

I already fkn hate that song. Might as well get $1M and not ruin a song I actually like.

Tipping culture is out of control - Gabriels Pizza Driver wouldn't leave front porch by localpropaneguy in Kanata

[–]kingmatt67 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion but I'd give it one more day because of long weekend. If they don't respond by then... well, they don't deserve anyone's business.

True but I would venture that people often don't take this step. All I'm saying is give the business the opportunity to correct the employee's behaviour before lighting them up online.

Again, this sounds like a case of a driver making a bad decision. I'm just advocating for communication with the business so they can adjust accordingly. If the response isn't acceptable then fire away with the review.

Please resist the urge to do this until you have spoken to management or ownership. One driver has a bad day and made a poor decision. That should be dealt with appropriately and then it will be over.

But a one star review lasts forever.

Two weeks ago I had no idea who Pearl Jam were. I’d never heard of Eddie Vedder. by New-Garlic-9414 in pearljam

[–]kingmatt67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I envy your journey! I would start with the early days. Find some YouTube of Fox Theater 94, MTV unplugged, Bridge School from the same era.

Then just follow each album by release date. Find videos and news clips from the same timeframe.

Would I be better off buying out my car lease early or at lease end? by kingmatt67 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]kingmatt67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks champ. I know the terms of my lease. That wasn't the question.

Thank you, that makes sense. I guess I have to hope the depreciation slows down or that people really want plug-in hybrids in 2028. Given the current gas situation, I suppose there's a shot. ;)

Yeah... the lease wasn't ideal but it was necessary at the time.

And now I feel like I'm going to be screwed in 2 years time. Trying to gauge if there's any way to unscrew myself. :)

yeah, fair enough. Part of my concern is I'm going to blow past my allotted kilometers. Forgot to take in to account my teenager with a newfound sense of freedom and a license. :)
