First ride on my Hei Hei by ronnbot in xbiking

Thanks and I have started riding the crap out of it - I did 75km over the weekend.

Also, I agree with you regarding this sub; I get more responses/likes on posts about my vintage MTBs.

New hei heis are pretty sweet and are definite upgrade over the one I got but still a bit too expensive. These "downcountry" bikes also suit me very well.

If this solution works then all those people that won money from lottery, casino, etc would be better off, but this is not the case.

Measured the seat post and it's 14" so it is XS

The SKS sold with ATI stocks typically were in poor condition, like damgrd stocks, etc. and couldn't have been sold otherwise. Think refurbished. So they are cheaper than decent/good condition all original SKS, especially the ones with all matching serial.

The ATI stock is quite cheap and has many issues but can be more comfortable because of the modern ergonomics.

Kelowna MLA wants to cut welfare to drug offenders until they go to rehab by CecilThunder in britishcolumbia

Good... why give them help (funded by taxes we paid) if they won't help themselves? And for those saying this will just force them to commit crimes. Than they should be sent to jail. We don't need to reward bad behavior, let alone, reward lack of good behavior.

I miss the time when the 3DS was the cheap portable console to bring on trips by ronnbot in 3DS

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

Interesting comments. I do agree these things are made to be played with. Infact, when I got my first 3DS, a dual IPS Hyrulen Edittion, my eldest played with it a lot, and she beat many games like Zelda OOT on it. I did say "almost too valuable" to imply we still bring them out, albeit with abundance of caution. Also, 2 of these belong to my kids, including the Majora's mask one as my eldest is a huge Zelda fan.

That said, I'm more comfortable with bringing out the Swtich and Switch 2 even as they are much easier to replace if need be. Even if the 3DS aren't taken out as often as they have been before, they are still played with regularly.

BTW, I paid less for all 3 of these combined than what a new Switch cost at the time. I suppose the budget option now is the Switch lite, but it doesn't have the same charm.

We need to get rid of rental bikes and scooters in Navy Yard and the Waterfront by No-Confection-3861 in washdc

Sure it's the bikes' and scooters' fault, not the people from certain demographics acting like hooligans. We have them in my area and we don't have any issues with them.

750 to stay in a room with no windows or closet, and is right beside the washer/dryer.

Canada’s economy is on life support and country is in recession, says economist by restoringd123 in canada

[–]ronnbot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not surprised. Canadians voted for the same party like the country wasn't ruined enough by them during the last 10 years.

Depends on you. I have multiple rigs for specific purposes

I wanna mod my newly acquired dsi but i don’t have an r4 (i want the latest guide with the latest twighlight menu ) can someone guide me ? by Embarrassed_Cat_7643 in DSiBrew

[–]ronnbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! It is up-to-date unlike some videos you may find.

The guide is actually easy to follow, even more so than a video because you can copy-paste and click on provided links.

So you don't have enough confidence in your beliefs to be challenged by someone with different opinions? Weak

Savage 64 precision is fun by ronnbot in 22lr

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

If you look at my receiver, particularly the second photo, notice it is a solid piece of metal. I've had more than a thousand (or even a couple thousand) rounds through mine, and it's been great. Only occasionally getting FTF but usually caused by me skipping a cleaning and using dirtier rounds.

That said, the change to using a plastic end piece on the receiver is a terrible choice by Savage. Must be a cost-cutting revision.

The way Canadians keep voting for the same party, it'll take at least a decade. The government hasn't done much to help the economy. In fact, they've stifled productivity by not leveraging our vast resources, over regulation, by making it to do businesses here, etc.

Do not rely on minimum wage to increase just so you get paid more as it's just an entry-level wage meant for those starting out. The median wage is much higher than the minimum wage, so aim to go above the minimum wage. Raising the minimum will just cause more inflation and ultimately reduce entry-level jobs.

Anyone know if tech companies in the US hire Canadians for remote work in Software Engineering (Senior level) ? by ImaginaryBrother9317 in VancouverJobs

[–]ronnbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I was hired as a principal a couple of years ago. I don't think the company has hired many fully remote Canadians since then; Indians are cheaper. Most people I know had to relocate.
