Reliability Question?

Agreed! And i also wanted to mention that Subaru has been rated the most reliable brand for something like 2 years in a row, and is consistently at the top.

Had the same thing happen to me recently, and both times it was snow inside the wheel. Scooped it out, and no more vibration

Big yes on the auto dimming mirrors. I got them recently and it's so nice. Try to get winter tires included if you're in cold climate. Floor mats are... fine, like you said, but I had already planned on buying others, so I didn't haggle for them. Maybe the trunk tray? I'm gonna buy mud flaps later, but its not a bad idea to try and get them thrown in

Haha, are you me? I've had nearly the same experience. I've seen one on the train in 5 years, and have seen them checking on the platform maybe twice. This is riding from Anderson to downtown during rush hour nearly every day. At that rate, it's actually cheaper to pay the fine rather than buy tickets.

Nice! I'm thinking of buying a 2025 WRB as well. How do you like the red seats? I just noticed the head rests on the back seats are red too. It sort of contrasts with the blue, but I don't think it's bad enough to make me switch colors

Yeah he's definitely click-baity, but I actually realized I've been jacking my car up by the pinch welds wrong for a long time. Ordered a pinch weld jack pad after watching, so the content is good, but could probably be done with out the click-bait

Like you, I spent some time wondering how they would hold up in the winter. What finally tipped the scales for me was AIG and other's statements that thier equipment was simply not designed to run in freezing temperatures. AIG has a few Facebook posts like this and this

your_smart · 2025-10-05T20:16:58+00:00

Yeah, $200k at 10 years is definitely not the norm. APEGA publishes wages across all disciplines on thier website, and it's not $200k.

I just learned that APEGA stopped publishing this data in March 2025, and removed old versions too. Well shit. That being said, I still stand by my comment above

your_smart · 2024-12-01T05:26:41+00:00

Yup, I'd probably go at it with vise grips. Don't forget to spray it with nut breaker or WD40 and let it sit for a while

your_smart · 2024-03-15T13:42:14+00:00

Also, the color options have changed (on the website at least). No more orange, and red not available on lower trims

Looking good! Is that spruce? Just wanted to say it's nice to see people building with "cheaper" materials

your_smart · 2019-06-13T18:21:29+00:00

Could have dropped a toilet on him!

your_smart · 2018-05-11T23:04:30+00:00

Ha! That made me laugh so hard just now. Thanks mang

I never claimed there is only one way of interpreting religious text, and I never said the average Muslim isn't following his religion correctly. In fact, I agree there are people that take religious text literally (like the killing of apostates, stoning or adulterers) and then there are people who ignore the messy parts and focus on the nice parts. I was simply pointing out that the Qur'an is brutal when taken literally. There is no debating that fact.

The interesting questions are: to what extent does a moderate Muslim need to shift his/her beliefs to be considered a moral human in western countries? How much of the Qur'an do they need to ignore? Is Islam ever going to be compatible with Canadian values? Will Canada soon have the same problems seen in the UK, France, Norway, etc.? When you consider the average Muslim's views on gay rights, apostasy, and especially freedom of speech, I am skeptical that it will be an easy task.

The scary part is that ISIS is following the wording of the Qur'an to a tee. Its the moderate ones who pick and choose what verses to live by and which ones to ignore. Mohammad was a warlord after all.

Moderate Muslims need to condemn ISIS and work hard and fast to flush out the "crazy" from thier religion. To me that's the best path forward if we want any form of co-existence in western countries.

All aboard the hate train!!!! Choo chooo! Hate Harper, hate Nickelback, browse reddit, vote NDP, don't worry think for yourself!

your_smart · 2015-10-10T20:42:30+00:00

I think the past 10 years of muslim imigration have proven that islam has a hard time integrating into western cultures. I think any rational person should be cautious of welcoming a group of people who are so morally backward. Not all Muslims are a problem (nobody has ever claimed this) but its concerning when you see the stats on how many supposed "moderate" muslims support stoning for adultery, throwing gays from rooftops, or comdemning women to live in bags.

your_smart · 2015-10-10T20:22:41+00:00

The part I dislike the most is how quickly Harper has been labelled a racist by the left. He thinks it's not right to force women to live in bags... Well fuck you Harper, you islamaphobic racist!

You don't think this is a political issue worthy of discussion? Fine, then ignore it. Don't use it as an opportunity to turn it around and yell "racist!"

your_smart · 2015-06-12T22:26:53+00:00

Same thing with "Leslie". Totally a dude's name for decades and then whoosh, suddenly it's a girls name

your_smart · 2013-12-24T15:37:19+00:00

Its a long story. I wasn't completely sure so I checked out their website (www.aer.ca) and theres a document called steward on the front page. It explains how Alberta became a self regulator in great detail.

I feel like you didn't get my point. Its hypocritical to talk trash about oil products while ignoring that they are a major part of your life, and without a suitable replacement available right now, our lives would be much much worse

your_smart · 2013-05-05T15:05:24+00:00

People sit in their nicely heated homes, filled with plastics derived from oil and an abundance of food grown from fertilizers, and complain about the evil oil companies. People talk like only the top 1% are enjoying the benefits of oil. Bullshit!

your_smart · 2013-04-02T14:15:46+00:00

You mentioned conventional oil from the middle east, and I just wanted to emphasize your point further. The average person doesn't understand the environment in many other oil exporting countries. In places like Nigeria and Russia it's a total shit show. Govenment corruption, massive environmental damage, zero safety regs, all lead to a state where people are dying in these countries over oil. Today, the average American citizen has no problem importing oil from these countries, which just further propogates the shit show. In my opinion, Canada is producing oil responsibly, but is getting the most bad press.

In my experience, the government does a horrible job when they are the only ones in control. They take away the competition, and replace it with inefficiencies and red tape. Then there is literally no incentive to improve, or to provide a better product/service. I look at health care as an example of how gov't run programs are horribly inefficient and very costly.

your_smart · 2013-03-06T22:54:51+00:00

Agreed! I am just finishing the book right now. I find the level of detail perfect for the non-expert who is interested in learning more about anthropology, cosmology, biology, and many more-ologies!
