You're a smart cookie. It is in limp home mode, according to the transmission folks, caused by some sort of electrical malfunction.
The truck is a Frankenstein, and a lot of stuff that was mixed and matched caused electrical issues. It has an engine in it that isn't the original make or model.
I never took it to 50mph, only 50km/h, as I didn't want to highway drive it. It didn't feel like it shifted once between 0 and 50km/h.
No power starting from a stop. Takes like 60 seconds to get up to 50km/h. Without getting too exciting here, it has a background of electrical problems. We have a pretty great transmission shop near where I'm located, so hopefully another kick at the can and they can solve it, because it's out of my league to fix myself at this point.

On Monday, council received an offer from Westhills to sell the building and 186 spaces in a parking lot across the street. Now it’s asking residents to weigh in
Agreed it could save a ton of money. However, Westhills Development still owns the land, so the city could purchase the building, and when the contract is up for renewal in 25 years, Westhills Development could theoretically bulldoze the building and redevelop.
Sounds like some shitty backdoor deal made under previous mayor's administration and his cronies. Pretty typical in Langford.
It was supposed to be the "universal language". According to Wikipedia, up to 100,000 people speak it globally.
If I remember correctly, it was adopted by the League of Nations, a precursor to NATO, in the early 1900's.
Here's the article if you're interested. I didn't really read through it to fact check myself cause I'm poopin' on break, but there you go.

Friend, I am no Linux shill, but I switched to Mint last week on my secondary laptop, and let me tell you, it's kinda cash and pretty easy.
I had to verify the integrity and authenticity of the Mint download itself, but it's straightforward and tells you how to do that. Once you're done, you install the OS just like you would with Windows.
Full disclosure, I don't use the laptop for much, so no fiddling needed for me.
Edit: I guess I am shilling it, but I mean I'm not a Linux fanboy
Police on southern Vancouver Island are issuing a warning about the dangers of deer rutting season after a dog was gored to death by a buck earlier this week.
Male deer don't fuck around.
Victoria has been crowned the fifth rattiest city in Canada, and the fourth in the province, according to pest control company Orkin Canada.
Where I live, this comes as no surprise. I've found rats crawling inside the engine bays of mine and my partner's vehicles the last couple weeks.
Apparently putting a few bounce sheets in the engine bay can deter them. Just remember to keep the sheets away from heat, and don't leave them in there if you go for a drive.
My girlfriend rubbed some cat toys on our cats and put it under her hood for a couple nights. No sign of rats going back in since!
If anyone has any other tips for fending them off, drop it below.
The result of B.C.'s election will come down to the wire on Monday when absentee ballots are counted after a tally of mail-in votes failed to resolve a handful of undecided races.
Thanks for the heads up. My guinea pig laptop will not be having games on it. I may try out Factorio down the road to see if it'll run, but that's more to test than to play. This machine will be pretty much a Crunchyroll/web browsing machine.
I suppose one things I forgot to include in my main post, now that I think about it, is protection. Windows typically has a lot of safeguards built in, so I'm pretty comfortable torrenting stuff online. How does this work with other Linux distros? Do they all have their own systems already in place, or is this something I need to set up myself? And how careful do I have to be about download stuff online, or browsing the web?
I have issues right now with fast boot on my Windows machine. If I disable it, I can't shut down my computer, it just restarts. Weird problem that has somehow survived a re-image. Likely some issue I'm going to have to sort out prior to starting the Linux process.
Awesome. That's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I'm sure I'll tinker more down the road, but this is perfect for now.
I don't play any MMOs, and this laptop won't have any games, other than maybe Factorio to test down the road. It's pretty much an extra laptop I have laying around to see if I can get a Linux OS set up.
Thanks for the link though. If I do ever set up Linux on my main gaming rig, I'll be sure to refer to the link.
Amazing write-up, thank you so much. Put into terms that I can easily understand.
I'll digest this and take everything you said into consideration when setting everything up as you've provided a TON of valuable info. Cheers!
Yeah I've seen that.. Embarrassing that someone like that got elected. Embarrassing for Albertans that they would elect someone like that. My experience of Alberta over BC, especially Victoria, is it was much more conservative, and tended to be more racist. I spent some time working in Edmonton, and I saw more racism in a year there than in my 30 years in Victoria.
I agree with your statement about things getting better. There seems to be a lot less racism in younger people than old.

Thinking about making the switch and need some advice.
Hi all,
As the title states, I'm interested in making the switch from Windows to Linux. I know absolutely nothing about Linux, other than that fact that there are distros that exist under Linux, and Linux itself isn't an OS, or so I think.
I have 2 laptops and my main home office PC, which I use for my job and gaming.
My plan is to switch one of my laptops to a Linux distro, and test it out. This laptops only purpose is web browsing, so I figure getting Linux set up to do something as simple as opening a browser is something I am capable of.
Down the road, once I've sort of learned on this laptop, I may work my way up to using other distros and dual booting my main PC. Who knows, maybe I'll even switch over completely prior to Windows 11 rolling out.
I've heard getting games to work with Linux can sometimes be a hassle, and can require some fiddling, so I won't be doing gaming on a Linux distro until I feel quite comfortable.
So with the above context, I'm looking for recommendations on a distro I should use, any guides that any of you may have found helpful, and generally any insight on things I may need to be aware of.
I am fairly tech savvy (probably not compared to most of you), and am not afraid of tinkering with things until they work. Any help would be muchly appreciated, and if this isn't the correct place to post, please let me know and point me in the right direction.
