I bought a 2014 with 218,000km (135,000 miles). I've noticed that the transmission does have abrupt shifts. I've read some conflicting things, in older forums, with some people saying their connects 6F35 shifted hard from brand new. So I don't know.

The unit I got had a full service history with regular oil changes, and I got it well below book value, however I noticed it's never had a transmission fluid change. I'm not sure if it's already too high mileage to risk doing one?

I was looking at new lower milage Connects, but I decided to go with this one, because even if the transmission goes today, I can fit a remanufactured transmission and the vehicle would end up costing the same as the other ones I was looking at, which were all 8-10k more.

Me, my worst job was I worked as a labourer on a cattle bull farm. They sold the bull genetics around the world. Basically, my job was tending and feeding, but the worst part was I basically had to extract the semen into a container, that was the economic purpose of the farm operation. It felt wrong. Very wrong.

This was proposed years back, called the "CANZUK Proposal". It's never gained much political traction, but I'm curious what people think of it. Good and Bad.

All these countries have somewhat similar standards of living and economies.

I for one, as a Canadian, would love to have the option to live and work in Australia or New Zealand.

I've been kinda researching this, some say in Aramaic (Jesus native tounge) it was Yeshua. Others say in Hebrew it was Joshua. Others still say Hebrew during that time had no J sound, others disagree. In ancient Greek it was Iesous. In Latin it was Iesus.

Finally in English it because Jesus.

I'm looking for the actual pronunciation, as he would be called in his time. Please no religious arguments. Just linguistics.

I'm near 40 years old, Ive been getting serious about finding a long term partner and have started serious dating.

This guy I was really keen on, about the same age as me, we really clicked after some dates and have hooked up, and I was starting getting feelings for, well he asked me how many people I've slept with, I just said I don't know, how many for you?

He said 6, and I was kinda taken aback, and he asked me again, and I said more than that, and he pressed and I blurted out hundreds more.

I could see he was really turned off. Now he's basically half-ghosting me.

So it's now back to square one with serious dating. Is this body count going to be a detriment to me? I mean, this is over the span of 20+ years of being a single guy.
