    And this is why we still need thermal generating capacity

    Every one I have seen the details for is setup exactly like that. Eg. Grey County West Phase 1 Wind Inc. Grey County West Phase 2 Wind Inc, Grey County East Phase 1 Wind Inc. etc etc. A handful of turbines that turn public money into private profits and any corp can be easily mothballed. If they...

    And this is why we still need thermal generating capacity

    Wind power is clean but generates the most at night when we don't need it. We still need conventional plants online to cover the lulls in wind. Batteries may be a solution to cover the lulls but cost is rough by the time there is sufficient capacity and lifetime still ha a question mark. Build a...

    And this is why we still need thermal generating capacity

    Wind concerns ontario is a good place to start. Lots of scientific study too. Basically, most people within the shadow zone that aren't being paid to have the turbines there are ****** off.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    It needs thousands in modifications to pass a safety. Sadly, it is worth whatever someone will pay for 250cc art for their living room.

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

    I know how to do it if I have time. I don't know how to do it in 5 minutes at somebodies house. Offer to cut their lawn before you take it home? Find a deep patch of weeds and drive it in to see if it powers through or gives up at the slightest resistance? Most have shielded connections so...

    In his case, he obviously has some spark as it runs. Whether the spark is strong enough or at the right time is a harder question to answer. He replaced the carb with minimal improvement so a stuck needle valve is unlikely. The rest of your points make sense for this motor.

    What is the morse used for? Just a cool historical oddity to keep around?

    What's up with my dehumidifier?

    Fwiw, I run dehumidifiers on timers not humidistats. Most have shite logic and turn on compressor every few minutes when checking humidity. Plug your humidifier into a smart plug (or old-school dumb timer), set it to run for 2-8 hours depending on what it needs to do and keep using it for...

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

    I see them around my neighbourhood and when the batteries die, they leave the mower where it sits and carry the battery back to charge it. Afaik, none have been burgled yet. I sure as hell wouldn't be leaving my expensive mower near the curb. For most homeowners, most of the time, if they can...

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

    So it was running when parked and then the next time you started it, it ran like crap? Did you check flow out of gas tank and make sure that isn't plugged?

    Did you check compression? What was happening when it first started acting poorly?

    Decent buy on some SPIDI jackets.

    Ha, I'm glad you think I'm that small.

    Decent buy on some SPIDI jackets.

    Who knows? They are seizures, hopefully someone tried to "gift" them to dodge customs. I would hope Government doesn't seize things because they are counterfeit and then sell them at almost full retail.

    Decent buy on some SPIDI jackets.

    They are in Montreal but shipping isn't a disaster ($30-50). The jackets are only $300 at GP and Fortnine so you are only saving a couple dollars, losing out on any chance of return for issues or fit and likely having no warranty as well.

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

    For a simplified guide, there is a lot of ambiguity in there. Sheds don't need a permit but cabanas or enclosing a deck do.

    REV'IT! at Canadian Tire

    One is on sale. I am assuming they are doing a postal code trigger for the sale and one of the IP's is mapping to a different postal code. For those that don't want mesh, they have the Accelerate jacket on sale for $200. It's also absent from the Rev'It website...

    And this is why we still need thermal generating capacity

    Your blind fanaticism is impairing your reading comprehension. You were talking about 1.5km setbacks being enough. Ontario didn't use 1500m setbacks for wind, they used 550m for most turbines. That allows a ton of turbines in southern Ontario (and a lot of ****** off people 551m from turbines).
