  1. First car I ever bought was used and I spent $11k for the car and the same in repairs. Once I got it paid off, I traded in for $250 (Chrysler Cirrus 2000, 123,000km) Bought new a 2008 Escape because I was covered bumper to bumper for 5 years or 80k/km, and had a battery die within 2 years. Also got rear ended good for a total of, well, my first car. Traded in for $2500 (damage was completely repaired at their fault, but would be on car fax) Anyways I went and got the 2013 Escape redesign. Engine had to be completely replaced because of an oil leak issue into the main engine itself. So it was sent back to Detroit, new engine free, and got rear ended again ($6k damage) Ever since then I’ve switched to leasing, because I get the latest safety tech included and I’m covered again because I don’t drive much, well anymore since I left Pepsi. So long winded story, I say lease new and know that your covered for almost anything that goes wrong with the vehicle. I’m currently in 2022 Ford Bronco Sport (Outer Banks Edition) It’s boxier then my ‘16, and ‘00 Escapes, and more like the ‘08 Escape (which I kinda like) Also like that the whole backing of my back seats and trunk have a rubber mat attached to them. Very handy when set flat for the dogs, and my newest guy has car sickness a lot. No idea what the cost is down there, but might be worth looking into the Broncos. I have heated front seats, wireless charging, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Sync 3. Plus I got the driver side windows tinted and are a godsend sometimes
  2. Either the Muppet Babies or Fraggle Rock guys
  3. What have you guys done. Now the town of Asbestos, Quebec will be without work because of you guys.
  4. I remember seeing the trailer for the film and so I bought/read the book. Probably should have done in reverse because it always seem hard to top the book for a movie adaptation. It’s not bad but I liked the tension building in the book better (more people and monsters being monsters) Plus I know everyone pretty much liked the new ending for the movie but I preferred the book ending. Even SK liked the movie ending more than his
  5. JACKASS 4EVER 3.5/5 First off, get yourself high before you consume a movie full of dicks. I mean it, the movie is dick focused for the guys. I like the montage of early stunt attempts to doing them now being older. Fuck does that bull make Johnny fucking fly and the slow-mob impact is painful (especially from a wrist guy myself perspective) It’s also a little uneven in pacing as all the real great stuff and the small gags. Their opening “Silence of the Lambs” gag is fucking historical and probably gave a few newbies PTSD. They have a lot of newbies and they almost seemed to be handing the torch for them as well, cause they take a good brunt of the punishment. How most of these guys are still alive or at least walking, is sometimes beyond me. Still it’s a fun watch with like minded friends and I wouldn’t be surprised if a fifth doesn’t happen either in 5-7 years it seems.
  6. I guess I’ll wait it out and see what trade-in deal GameStop Canada will have. Plus I still need a 120hrz screen of some sort in my gaming setup. I know I want a laser jvc projector but way out of my range right now. Although they do 120hrz and e-shift 8K on 2 of the models.
  7. I really liked Get Out, haven’t seen Us(own), but I enjoyed Nope. The movie has a few scenes that I don’t think were really needed but did help you understand/feel for some characters. Plus I really dug the look of everything and liked the opened up IMAX scenes being included on the 4K disc at least. The sound design is amazing/intense/creepy for especially a few scenes if you have the setup (creepier with Atmos) I say it’s worth a viewing at least and could probably see myself enjoying this more on a 2nd viewing.
  8. What can OpenAI whip up for some people? imagine how much better Shrek is Love could look
  9. Canadian viewers had Amazon’s quick “after this ad. Your show will be seen commercial free thanks to McDonald’s Canada” Then got the McD’a full anime 30sec ad and was good from there.
  10. I’m hoping for a Stuntman review. Early reactions seem very positive as a love letter to the industry itself.
  11. Don’t watch with subtitles myself, so no idea. Still WOW! on its welcome back action/consequences. Is it from our reality or not for some events with the episode one villain setup. Plus I liked the bonus credit scene with one surprise and the other one not being that surprising. Being on episode 6
  12. I don’t wanna make an account to post my result for Wordle Framed #734 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ https://framed.wtf Connections Puzzle #277 🟩🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦
  13. When I worked for Pepsi I had the last pick of the work schedules. When I got full-time, I could would work 5 days 8hrs a week or 4days at 10hrs. I took the 4 and was the best thing I ever did. Especially great during my office days when I was dealing with my wrist injury and couldn’t service in the stores.
  14. You would think with probably an older user base that watches nothing but Fox News. I think the article above even mentioned that mail-in benefitted the republicans greater than it does for democrats. Covid changed that, Trump railed against it and is pretty much doing it again with Covid now the common flu.
  15. Has some visually cool stuff, but I miss seeing the kiss white makeup face with the black eyes. Maybe I’m too stuck up on the original, but the trailer looked too bright. Wish it all took place mostly at night in the rain like the first one. I’ll wait for reviews cause I’m so-so right now after the trailer.
  16. Friendly bump and reminder that we are back TONIGHT! Well for me at least being that it’s past midnight est
  17. Wouldn’t it be funny that it turns out it was him that started the online thingy about Rogue’s ass/tits not being “sexy” enough anymore. but in all seriousness, it’s probably worse
  18. I was thinking about her numbers last night and was wondering if most were Early Voting or mail-ins before she dropped out. Unless they don’t do that for these events
  19. Wordle 998 4/6 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟨⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟨⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Framed #733 🎥 🟩 ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ https://framed.wtf Connections Puzzle #276 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟪🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪
  20. Unlike Trump, Rodgers might be able to toss those paper towel rolls to the people in the very back of a natural disaster gathering. I just really wanna know if there is something in Green Bay that turns their top QB into Republican lunatics? Favre being another one of them examples
  21. I sort of have the auto pilot on my ‘22 Bronco Sport. Use it on the more empty 407 toll highway when I take my mom to see my brother and his family. It’s handy but I don’t trust it to drive me from A to B on its own. A few times with the rain the auto assist would briefly disengaged its purpose for 2-3 secs before connecting again. It keeps you in the lane, turns the wheel to follow the lines and with adjustable cruise control. My hands never leave the wheel and if you try for like say 3-5 secs without, it will warn you to put your hands back on the wheel.
  22. Deluxe Edition $10 Microsoft Game Store Must have Ultimate Gamepass for the deal, which I did and bought this time.
