    Air Canada

    The normal flight speed will be a combination of fuel efficiency and desired time. They can always pour the coals to it and go faster to make up some time at the expense of more fuel...within limits.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    You will find strong opinions both ways... great idea, terrible idea... I sit in the middle, it just needs to work for your situation. I do see it as a shorter term solution and not a decades one. Keep in mind they will likely have fairly strict home maintenance requirements to maintain value...

    25'th Anniversary....and no plans. :(

    So someone is impacted by orange stupidity, maybe more than most of us, and they should just live their life? Is that suck it up? Personally I hold everyone in high regard that is standing up for Canada with their actions, on their own accord, in anyway they can these days. We need more of that...

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    There are many variables but impaired drivers tend have a higher survivability rate because they are totally relaxed at the time of impact.

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    If the battery is too tall I would just cut it to make it smaller. Don't be stupid... cut it from the bottom not the top. The top is where the terminals are and if you cut it there you won't have a place to connect up the wires! :ROFLMAO:

    North shore of Lake Superior

    Beware of animals and avoid dusk and dawn if you can. If dusk or dawn is necessary stick behind another vehicle, let them take the hit... Even in summer the weather can be miserable (heavy rain) so if you have some flexibility to wait a day or so it can pay off. Plan fuel stops if your bike has...

    Getting a bike from Quebec without lisense

    I see one in Mississauga for sale for a couple grand more with lower mileage. Factor in hassle, trailer rental, fuel, risk, etc... seems like a no brainer to skip the Quebec one??? As others noted, if you have limited riding experience, it is a bad choice for a first bike. ALSO, get an...

    Blocked IPs?

    Mine is working again, did something change??? For when is it not working... My home ISP is Rogers, their WiFi, Gateway etc. no VPN--no devices work from this location. My cell is also Rogers when using data it works, also any devices tethered to it. Any other location works. But as noted, it...

    Blocked IPs?

    My access via my home connection is blocked or just not working again. Any other IP everything works fine, same machine etc. It is odd as my home IP started working for a couple weeks shortly after bringing this up but then the same thing as before....

    Jokes

    It's an airport bus (900) and that is the luggage rack... assuming you were not on the way to or from the airport maybe it is being used on another route.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    If you are running a new wire you can decide 120v or 240v as the motor does both. As it is temp I may lean 120v 12/2 on a 20amp breaker. That extra 120v plug may come in handy, plus you only use one spot in the panel. 20 amp to cover 15amp load (80% blah, blah...), and having the motor trip the...

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    One can get into the weeds regarding the type of breaker etc.... As usual @oioioi sums it up. A little deeper, if the draw is actually 15 amps, breakers and circuits are typically rated at 80% load so 20 amp breaker (20X80%, 16 amps), 12 gauge (20 amp) wire and you are set. 12/2 unless a...
