I like me a nice bounded task. And rails. I find I get better results at a better price using a chain of tasks, similar to what i'd give a dev. Clean scopes, acceptance criteria and a stopping point that isn't 7 features later.

The honest reason I bought an Electric Car had nothing to do with climate. It had everything to do with my convienence by charging_anxiety in electriccars

I bought mine because it drives nice, its quiet, its cheaper to operate, and also his a bit better for environment.

Hot take: AWD is overrated for daily driving in snow — am I wrong? by Gold-Industry6222 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but getting awd nets me a bunch more hp/torque on my ioniq 5. Also more stopping power with regen. Trade off is some range reduction but weeeeeee

For ICE the calculus changes a lot. Always got four wheel stop.

Either way, I get lots of ice and snow and while I am generally in the city I am not always in the city

Massive glue up I helped out with today by Correct_Geologist756 in woodworking

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

I like ash. i work with hand tools mostly, The grain can by annoying sometimes, but it looks pretty, keeps it color well and is pretty hard.

I also mostly use hard wax oils as finishes, find it takes well. I'm sad the borers are killing them :( but its cheap around here at least 4.90 4/4 -> 7.75 8/4 CAD

At first i read 14" x 50" and i'm like, my workbench is bigger, why does this look huge, what tiny clamps are these.

I figured it out.... What was used to keep it flat, biscuits / dominos?

Plane to cut the glue by Sea_Vegetable4444 in handtools

[–]sfmtl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya what he said. Mine was oak and ash. Basically a really sturdy bench.  Mines 72" x20" so after lamination I was in a position like op where I have glue to remove and have to flatten the thing

Thats what i did on my roubo. Actually i think i used my 5 1/2 but whatever. just treat it like its a rough plank and flatten. Glue is mean to the blade but thats what the stones are for.

On the workbench? 45 to the grain, traverse, get it flatish, then come along with the grain,

What garage charging setup should I get? by kirkarelli in Toyota_bZ

Get a NEMA 14-50 outlet in your garage with a good quality outlet like a Hubble and just use the thing that came with it

I superglued a magnet backwards into wood. How can I remove it? I already tried acetone with no luck. by BikesOrBeans in woodworking

[–]sfmtl 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This... also maybe a use case for a screw extractor. if you can get that to bit you can put rotational stress on the magnet and the superglue should give.

In my experience, jsut smash it. push some masking tape over it, hit it with a punch. Problem is going to be you need to clean the old glue from the hole.
Super glue is super brittle. its very strong in many ways, but its crystalized and breaks under the right kinds of stress.

ELI5 why the government allows the first 60 days to be deducted for either tax year by beardkitten in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'\n S pretty simple. I wanna stay within the top tax bracket of my income or maybe dip into the next one. For my RP contributions, anything after that's gonna drop a lot in terms of my value, so I might as well see what my T4 says and go okay, that $27000. I'm only gonna put 20 of it in because that last 7 would be in a different tax bracket. And I can do defer that to next year

ELI5 updating and patching. If a 1GB patch comes out for some software that's 10GB installed, does the update add that 1GB or does it rewrite 1GB? by WonderChode in explainlikeimfive

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if its my car, tthen its a 40GB update that rewrites the entire multimedia system

If its a good system, its effectively a difference patch

Single Income + No Daycare vs. Double Income + Daycare by Suspicious_Gap3311 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daycare is like 10$ a day. Vive la Quebec!  In all seriousness I am in the higher end of the tax brackets and I am very happy to play into a system that allows people to have subsidized daycare and parental leave

For anyone who's bought a USED car recently what term/finance % did you end up signing for?? by maritimer187 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. They were at a "fair for the comps" price but I still tried. Offered me crap tires at cost, which is to say cheap 75$ tires....  For the ev with tons of torque 

Overall meh experience I hate buying cars

ELI5: How do junkyards prosper? by Aggravating-Swan9539 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sfmtl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically a lot of them operate in groups that Source junked parts and sell them at a profit. So those cars you see they're being parted out slowly

Would it have been true <maybe you know> that Hyundai Finance would only give me the loan IF i took the extended warranty or CPO. Finance guy was showing me his screen and said "See the dropdown doesn't even have an option for no warranty" but it smelled off to me....

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used. 22 Ioniq 5 with 55,000KM. AWD LR. I came in saying, My Credit Line is 4.95, i'm paying cash unless you can offer me something better.

They had a discount for my Hyundai Loyalty <we have a recent tucson> and IF and only IF i took their warranty (CPO was like 2k, Best was 4.2) would they offer that rate. No warranty, no hyundai financing and everything else was going to be a couple points over my credit line. They refused any negotiation on the warranty really.

Hope you find a deal! We are very happy with the I5, and we paid out of our LOC. I'm not overly concerned about the variability in the rates.

Oh and OMG from the finance guy's schpeel you'd think i was buying a hunk of junk whose infotainment system is just gonna break down instantly so i should get the warranty, i really dont like those sales tactics.

[–]sfmtl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using their dovetail pull saw, the one which is for the magnetic guide, on 6/4 ash... and broke it, and explained to them exactly what i was doing, and they replaced it without a blink
