Where you're making your mistake is in thinking that we're talking about small contractors or individuals. We are not talking about that, we are talking about software / IT houses with employees that have virtually no seniority, they have moderate pay, and they have neither autonomy nor unions...

Since the government made so much of their IT infrastructure into a consultant position, it should be expected. They literally set themselves up to fail at being an IT force, with everyone charging 3x what they'd work for normally and jamming as many mandatory software subscriptions into every...

I know a bunch of these people. Some of them are ... mostly ... competent. But they don't care. At all. They're coin-operated, in a union and waiting for retirement. Original thought of any kind is punished by their environs.

Guess I'll be visiting a lot less. People can just opt out, but we can't opt in. Oh well...

Just remember, all the Liberal supporters have been assuring us that there has been no further influx of migrants.

Added this to the practice room and rehearsal area. Will probably take it to gigs. I MAY upload a rehearsal song at some point. I'm no Youtube producer. :)

All whisky and bourbon ARE beer. FYI. They all start that way.

Bourbon's like cheap whisky someone poured sugar into... bleah :D

I have my wife signed up for no alcohol in October (at least). Anyone care to join us? Sign on, and relate your success (or lack thereof).

A whole lot of music playing and practice. And I'm probably going to pick this mini bass up for television practice. I have an acoustic but I've never been really happy with the way it worked as practice in that environ. And it's just (rare and) cool! It comes with both input (to input...

100% I bought some on the hotter end of the spectrum and it did the opposite of make anything better. Since that experience I buy either a blend or get actual peppers and render them down to powder or near-powder. That being said, I have learned that the secret to "hot" tasting but delicious...

Well. I have a killer recipe, but it's not for the faint of heart. I hate to say it but I'll have to get back to you, I need a computer to go back online to get my recipe. All I can tell you is that they refused to rate it at a chili contest because it was SO powerful (hot but that wasn't the...

It must, it has a larger tank and a less high-revving / cammed version of the LC8 than my Super Duke.

The power was off in Wilno on Sunday. I was a bit concerned. :) Luckily the grill and fryer at the Inn run on propane. It turns out that Barry's Bay still had power, thankfully. So I still don't know the range of the KTM but coming home I got 235km indicated out of it and still had about 1/3...

Looks like we have a guitar player that really wants to come onboard with us. And he sings. My year of music isn't slowing down. I just picked up this TOTAL unicorn in Toronto. The owner thinks it might be the only one in Ontario. A FRFR (full range, flat response) cab from...
