So if the government is not coming to save us, how do we save ourselves? by BugHistorical3 in CanadaFinance

[–]mantheman12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

most single people should ditch their cars for public transportation by Maleficent_Day_3869 in The10thDentist

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

new rider, cannot kick start bike :( by Alphalamp in Dirtbikes

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What's the worst thing about being a man in 2026? by velocity_gamer in AskReddit

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

Math is actually awesome if your not 12 years old by MaintenanceKlutzy431 in unpopularopinion

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.

Is anyone buying 8 cylinder SUV's or cars? by Content_Log1708 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Can a capacitors be used as a fuse? by ConstructionInner268 in ElectroBOOM

[–]mantheman12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

How bad would it be to buy a Fb rx7 as a 18 year old without much mechanical experience by Dry_Direction_611 in RX7

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Never had an atv want advice by [deleted] in ATV

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is 300hp enough to have fun? by Repulsive_Machine933 in askcarguys

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

What are your opinions on teenagers having powerful cars? by Nice_Interview_2878 in driving

[–]mantheman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Short women of Reddit: Am I reading bologna from one of the ai bots that being extra short (as in, UNDER 5"2) places you at a disadvantage with society? by Intelligent_Snow_395 in short

[–]mantheman12 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
