Welp thats to bad. I liked popping in to the GDT threads to see what people were thinking. Been many years, pretty sure I was in highschool when I first started on an old account I lost my password too. JOINED June 29, 2006 Well nope same account I guess. Yea just finished grade 11 when I first signed up.

Yes, society has become charmin soft now.

Does anyone here have Mini-Splits in their homes? I was eyeing up them again after this heat wave (plus my bedrooms is electric forced air anyways with one of them having no heat in winter). Seen some of those Senville branded ones on farms for their stores, etc. so just wondering what some peoples experiences could be with them. Reading up on them again (did it last summer) and on Reddit seems like most people are happy with the DIY models for the most part, some complain it can't keep up with extreme cold but we don't really see less than -10 here in the Fraser Valley anyways and I think most of those people were more in the -30 range but wasn't sure.

Lots of jobs in trades. I knew some ironworkers in the past and they were great guys.

Now you're just waiting for the government to find even more ways to tax us. If theres a will theres a way the government will get a cut unfortunately lol.

Good, needed a suspension, puck was no where near the play so that hit shouldn't have been tolerated at all.

No facebook marketplace is too handy.

I bought some waterproof "military" style pants for work, those extra pockets come in so handy for sharpies, knives, tape measures, etc. Didn't realize it until I actually got them.

I wear whatever the basic costco ones are, comfy, good bang for buck. I couldn't wear skinny jeans even if I wanted to.

Some people seem to complain about that, some say its a non issue with how the water beads off. I have never had a vehicle with a rear wiper so I probably wouldn't notice it plus the car wash stuff I got has rain-x and that beads rain off pretty darn good. Definitely isn't a picture perfect car but it was one I was heavily considering. I would like to go for the Ioiniq 7 since its bigger but I think it'll be out of my price range when released. Oh well wife can stick to her older EV, we drive that thing a ton.

If I was getting a vehicle in the market right now the ioniq5 would be my choice (maybe model Y). Has a nice blend of space and size compared to others. Plus I love that older boxy look with the square LEDs in it. I think that one floats between 400-440 depending on rwd or AWD model which is more than enough for 2-3 days driving for most people.

Ford does have the etransit but its only at about 170-200kms depends on the model. Its great for say a vancouver contractor, less so for someone in the Fraser Valley as we tend to travel a bit more. If they got that to the 250-350kms with hauling the average amount of tools those things would be flying the Valley. I have seen a few of them in Langley and Abbotsford but not many (I don't really look for etransits like I do other EVs). Yea the Buzz has something like 400kms range which isn't bad if thats after the ineffiencies with the body style. The biggest issue with the Buzz is I believe (don't quote me) its still built on the MEB platform which is only a 400v system, they aren't upgrading to the 800v system like Hyundai/Kia have (I think Ford went 800v too now with Lightning). Our Ioniq EV gets less than 300kms (advertised but we float around 300 in this temp, should be like 320 by later spring) but thats more than enough for day to day driving and we love it, we wouldn't change it for the world. If work didn't pay me for my truck I would consider a second EV for us but right now makes zero financial sense.

Lordstown had promise when announced, but even if produced I would be afraid to buy it, just don't have trust in the company if something went wrong (and things are bound to go wrong with first handful of batches). Same with Atlas (who just finished up their funding) and canoo, etc. These start ups will be so sketch. Atleast the Cybertruck and Ram/GM/Chevy will have some sort of dealer behind them. I want that ID Buzz, looks wicked but that price point is stupid high.

Ja goes for those highlight reels and every time he lands I cringe a bit. Each had their own insane abilities, their explosions were something else. Its just to bad Rose knee blew out so early on. I gotta go Rose/Ja/Westbrook.

Toronto and only toronto is the answer.

Comeon snow in Chilliwack today! Lets get a dump of it tonight!

I would gladly take 2nd if that was the case come draft time.

If only that was young children friendly, so much easier for kids to find netflix or disney channel on the firestick Wonder if its improved much in the last few years. I miss IPTV, was really good when it worked.

Theres a work around for mobile devices I believe, thought I read something if the mobile device is normally in the "primary" location then it can be used elsewhere. Its more like the devices that are permanently at a single location, like my parents who has it built into their TV and have been using mine the last 5 years or however long its been. Pretty much my kids go over there for weekly sleepovers and they use it then for them, I just ended up paying the extra $8 to make it easier.

Amazing how LA only had to ditch one 1st rounder too in all of this.

Dang Lakers going in now!

They have actually had an increase in subscribers in the last quarter. If people want access they have to pay now, if they don't, then well chances are the original account holder will still hold the account.

Anyone who hasn't listened to the UNREEL podcast Scotty is doing right now really should, first 2 episodes were great.

How? He comes into NHL on a 1 year ELC. Unless magically he wanted to play for less than a mill for long term.... And how do you think they will lose Horvat for nothing? You think they will go against their word and not let UFAs walk? The dumped Motte last year, whats making you think a 26th place team won't unload Horvat for nothing at the trade deadline?

The breaking Canucks news of the day.....
