    Daily sports car?

    2030 is 60% zero-emission. 2035 is 100% zero-emission. FYI, zero-emission is a disinformation tactic. There's no such thing.

    Daily sports car?

    Wonder what we're supposed to do when in 4.5 years, 60% of vehicles in Canada sold new have to be EVs. I know I will resist buying one as long as humanly possible.

    Microsoft Teams

    Teams is not secure either. When they bought Skype, a peer-to-peer conferencing software package, they deep-sixed the software which they weren't interested in, and invited Skype users in to use Teams, which is "cloud-based," aka all communications go through an orchestrated central system...

    Microsoft Teams

    I hate Teams with a passion. I could not make it work at all on my Android devices for two years, so I had to be at home to take any Teams conference calls, of which I had many. Then Microsoft folded up the remainder of its failed tablet/phone business - suddenly Teams works on my SAME Android...

    Carney Scam, not political

    It would be funny, but just this week a few AI videos were released that I could legitimately not tell were fake. Not without hours of inspection, at least. It'll only get more comprehensive.

    KTM now part of the Bajaj group of India

    Hey, I can get parts. That's all I care about, otherwise love my KTM.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    They were definitely not fast, but the antiquated low-cost Chrysler suspension in those cars means that they'd still spin and slide with the inappropriate foot of a teenager urging them. I had some plans for my 360 but it had its own.

    VRRA at Shannonville next weekend

    It's been (just) a few years but I don't think they allow them. Teams can have them but they have to sport the rider # on the bike somewhere.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Moi ici, red interior and exterior with a 360. I had it about six months when a rod started knocking hard... which, given that I bought the car in 1986 for $500 cash and drove it like a lunatic, seems reasonable.

    #$%@ GP Bikes just made my life harder

    Yes and no. I changed the oil and not the screens (pulled the front one, though). Very, very fine and small amount of metal in the oil which is fine given that it's the second oil change and this one did Deal's Gap + some hard riding for 6K. Gives me some time to think about it, and of course...

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    For something even harder to find and relatively unknown despite being formed by Vision of Disorder founders.

    What Are You Currently Listening To?

    Great song, big fan of BCC. If you like this, try "This is your Time" and "Common Man"

    DOJ settles up

    A lot of people are still irrational about that. No offense, but if you come at me with a knife and I have a gun in my hand, you know what comes next. No apologies. I know you understand this but apparently far too many people don't.

    Covid Vacs

    I had it late January 2020. Lasted two days, came on hard day 1 and by 1am that night I had to sit on the edge of the bed and try to calm myself down, catch my breath and it was a near thing for me to wake the wife and get her to take me to the ER. About an hour of that and it eased, by next...
