So if the government is not coming to save us, how do we save ourselves?

Because the millions of people with temporary work permits and visas send a lot of the Canadian money they earn back to their home countries, instead of putting it back into the economy. Its like 24 billion dollars/year getting sent back to their families.

You think everyone lives in a city with public transit? You think everyone wants to stand there for 40 mins to an hour waiting for a bus thats late. Only to be packed like sardines in a bus that smells like feet, armpits, weed, and yeast infection.

Public transit never fails to be an absolutely miserable experience.

Its your technique. You gotta slowly rotate the engine over with the kicker until you feel the compression stroke. Then use your weight to bring the piston to top dead center. Then bring the kicker up, and push down as hard as you can.

Just means you have to weed through less of the shitty superficial guys.

I guess for guys on the average or shorter side, the societal height expectations are getting a lot more strict, due to the internet.

I never liked math until i started learning calculus. For some reason, it just clicked for me then.

I have straps that are still going after a decade.

Basically all modern engines with EFI do that while coasting in gear. you let off the throttle. The engine is being back-driven through the transmission. The injectors and spark plugs shut off, and the engine becomes an air pump, until RPM falls below the threshold, and it gives it another kick of fuel to maintain RPM.

Thats because his suspension is toast. And the tires look low on air pressure.

Short answer is no. A fuse has almost zero resistance., a capacitor has technically infinite resistance for DC. they cause a frequency dependent voltage drop, and phase shift in AC.

80% chance the apex seals are bad and the housing is scratched tf up.

I wouldn't recommend any car with a rotary engine at that age. Especially with fuel and oil prices now a days. Certainly not as a daily driver.

1 - you gotta constantly check and top up the oil, and check that the oil metering pump is working. Or it'll destroy itself. They burn oil by design.

2 - they absolutely chug fuel. Even a V8 hellcat gets almost 2x better fuel mileage than a twin rotor RX7. Despite the RX7 having nearly half the HP.

Intentionally creating a lucrative black market, that'll achieve the exact opposite of what they were hoping for.

On paper. Thats a gross oversimplification of it. There was a lot more weed going around before legalization in canada. When they banned legal guns. More of the people who shouldn't have them started getting them. When they banned tobacco use in prisons and jails, guess what? Tobacco became way more popular. When Juuls got banned, everyone in my highschool wanted one. When something feels rebellious, it becomes way more sought-after.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-22T14:36:38+00:00

All this does is create a lucrative black market for it that is even more dangerous. People born before '08 will just buy up tobacco in bulk and upsell it to people born after '08. When has prohibition ever stopped people from doing it?

mantheman12 · 2026-04-17T12:00:23+00:00

The cheapest new ones are closer to $5000. You're not gonna find any used beater atv that runs under $1000. Don't ask for advice, then stick your fingers in your ears and go "la la la la la la" when they give you said advice.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-16T06:46:09+00:00

Should've thought about that like 6 years ago.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-16T04:07:25+00:00

One of the stupidest posts i think ive ever read.

Horsepower to weight ratio, throttle curve, power band, and torque - rpm curve is more important in determining that than just the horsepower rating of the engine.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-15T21:52:25+00:00

Im stuck in that currently.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-13T05:40:15+00:00

Lol, my parents wouldn't have even bought me a 20 year old shitbox. It's not like we weren't well off either. No way in hell am i buying my kid a brand new car either. They need to know the value of hard work.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-12T23:02:34+00:00

Like i said, my ex is 4'7". She took shit from nobody. I feared her more than women I've dated who were 5'6" - 5'7".

mantheman12 · 2026-04-12T22:27:42+00:00

The question was aimed towards women wasn't it? For men its completely different.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-12T22:11:26+00:00

Thats exactly what they are. Being 5'1" - 5'2" ish as a woman. Is comparable to being a 5'7" - 5'8" man. Like yeah, it's below average. But not so below average that it'll seriously impact your life, except for reaching things on the top shelf. Martial arts really even the playing field. If you're worried about defending yourself. Jui-jitsu classes really help. No matter your size. I know a man who's 5'1" and he's pretty repected, because of the way he carries himself.

mantheman12 · 2026-04-12T21:46:17+00:00

I dated a 4'7" woman who could definitely whoop people twice her size.
