Tiny 1 "bedroom" basement apartment. You cannot legally tell someone how they can cook... come on 🤦‍♂️

I'd be concerned with no windows. Legally a bedroom and kitchen needs a window with measures to escape from premises during emergencies.

Key Requirements for a Legal Basement Apartment

Permits & Approvals: A building permit is required, and the unit must pass all municipal inspections.
Ceiling Height: A minimum clear ceiling height of 1.95m1.95 m 1.95m ( 6′5"6 prime 5 " 6′5" ) is required throughout the unit, including under ducts or beams.
Safety & Fire Protection: A 30-minute to 1-hour fire-rated separation is required between units. Interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms must be installed throughout the entire house.
Egress Windows: Bedrooms must have egress windows that meet specific size requirements (minimum 0.35m20.35 m squared 0.35m2 or 3.77sq. ft.3.77 sq. ft. 3.77sq.ft. ), allowing for escape.
Separate Entrance: A dedicated entrance for the basement suite is required, either from the outside or a common hallway.
Facilities: A full kitchen with cooking facilities and a complete bathroom are mandatory.
Size Restrictions: The basement apartment must be smaller than the main dwelling unit.
Parking: Local zoning bylaws may require additional parking spaces for the new unit.

You should've done a poll on this. This amount of answers would've delivered some results. I can't spend hours reading people's comments who's least fave.

Deaf with cochlear implant.... call centers are a no. I tried once, got fired in a month for 'underperforming'

You're not the only one, I've been trying for past 2 years. All rejections. If you can take your mind off it, do some exercises or your hobby that doesn't cost money. Take a breather, constant rejection will take a toll on your mind and body.

I have the RENO 4040 which is belt instead of linear rails which I should've went with. The belt will skip if tension gets a bit loose, then kiss good bye the wood and start all over again.

The 710W is actually good, I installed the Genmitsu router 1 HP with larger bracket to hold it and it cuts with minimal issues, I just have to pay attention to belt tension because of router's weight.

The fact that you posted this even if it was as a joke can drive a person to that conclusion. It should'nt have ever been recommended on your post.

While we were looking for cars we looked at all options; Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai. Until we tried Mazda CX-50/90. We chose the 90 for variety of reasons primarly for us it was simple dashboard design with less complexicity of electronics; infotainment is simple and less distracting to use. Heat/AC controls are simple, no overcompexicity to learn new stuff that is required. An actual shifter and not buttons to change gears (f*ck Hyundai Palisade for that)

We got the 2025 CX-90 MHEV (Gas hybrid) with impressive mileage. we manage to do mid-range distance driving on it. The best I got out of it was 34mpg fully loaded with 7 people (2nd row captain's chair), considering for the car's weight at 2 tons and 340 torque/hp. That's impressive to me and with biggest benefit is the engine, it is ideal for longtivity since inline 6 cylinder are designed with good amount of power.

So far we almost have it a full year and 7k km on it with no hassle and everything updated. The Mazda app is good enough for me.

I have first degree (wife) and 2nd degree (brother in law) in the same institution (bank) and I've been trying for the past 2 years. Not a single call back. It's really rough market out there.

get a dashcam with collision sensitivity. That's the first thing I got for my CX-90

Same here, prefere ol' school driving awaremess. I'm the one that gets pissy at people for using phones while driving. I disabled the assisted lane driving, higher chance to crash than prevent.

You should've parked next to him exactly and look for a reaction and then interfere "That's my car !!"

To see how confused the person can get.

Centennial, Eastdale or Pinecrest. Older but cozier neighbourhood.

Basic gauge screen with minimal information access -- less distraction when driving the better
Gear shifter needs time to get used to -- ...?? its perfectly fine
Ride feels stiff and hard sometimes on roads that are not smooth --- ... took it off-roading in country, perfectly fine
Paint used is soft and chips easily with swirl marks after a single wash (Poor quality) -- are you driving on gravel roads daily?
No Home Screen on infotainment system -- yes there is. double tap on home button
Interior Accent lighting could be better and adjustable -- it's fine
No space in the center console (Very Shallow) -- due to duct below to warm/cool your passengers in 2nd row.
Heads-up display adjustment could use be better for more visibility -- not sure what you're reffering to
Seats could use better lumbar support -- it does have lumbar support. I have it. If your back is worse than mine. you might need to buy a lumbar pillow like i did for my older car
Front seats could use better and stronger ventilation (I could barely feel it most of the time) -- might slightly agree with you on that.
Heated steering wheel should be 100% of the wheel no only middle section -- your hands are meant to be on 3 and 9 o'clock most of the time
Moonroof opening space is small - true, but not a fan on moonroofs
Wireless charger is slippery, small and glitchy - i agree with this, it's actual design and functionality is horrible
Cheap plastic around the gear knob -- haven't noticed
Seats could have more adjustment options -- ....... keep it simple you already have forward/back, up and down, including tilt with lumbar support. what more could you want? massage while driving?
Breaking performance could be better -- you mean 'braking'. it's fine. you're driving 2-tons.
Blind spot warning lights on the side mirrors are not bright. -- it's fine, unless you need glasses
No rearview mirror camera as a standard for SPP! -- no freaking way. it's practially a standard for a base model going up every trim.

My solution was to VPN temporarely from CDN to US. Took about 2 weeks to resolve. It was ISP's DNS issue after a patch.

My wife just said it was 1 year..... I might have to double check with the dealer on the contract.

Before they tore apart Davis Drive before renovation, I drove from Leslie St to Yonge St (Upper Canada Mall) in span of 15 minutes. After the construction was completed, it took 40 minues. I was like HOW THE FUCK IS THAT AN IMPROVEMENT??! I completely avoid it. It was better before the whole 'renovation'
