I am so far behind on the current major projects the wife would not dare add to the list. She also knows my response will be you know where the tools are.

My guess is they went to the raised ones (vs the ground mounted boxes/pedestals) to prevent vandalism (painting and stickers on the cameras). Doesn't look like that is working out.

I realized it pretty quickly and did not get burned but I used to do more or less the same (just type into Google). Once on Google searching TD the first one that popped up (sponsored ad) was a phishing site, looked legit. I noticed the URL was off but I am sure many got burned. I would expect...

Assuming they are not bought up... Looking at the automotive market. Some after they fail will see a small spike in used prices as aficionados of the brand buy knowing this may be the last ones they will own. This is true for current but longer tooth models as there is a parts base. A recent new...

There are still B&M appliance parts places around, the one I use has good customer service and I never get an incorrect part...

LV was total incompetence he didn't even ram into the building through those glass doors. My guess is the cyberturd would have plowed right into the building if that was the goal.

Red light cameras, photo radar and even the ETR take rear photos, not front. Many jurisdictions outside of Ontario do not require front plates on cars and of course vehicles like motorcycles in Ontario do not have front plates. I also vaguely remember there was some case law about front photos...

WTF! It is 364 days to Christmas and my neighbour has their Christmas lights and decorations out and turned on!

Thanks, picked one up (blanket) for the kitchen. They also had a small spray can fire extinguisher so I grabbed that as well, I already have bigger ones near the door and fireplace....

Fire blanket is on the new year's shopping list. What was somewhat scary is most of the family had no idea what to do. When the fire hit I covered it up with a large t-towel (poor-man's fire blanket) that slowed it down. I was yelling at my wife to get the baking soda... when I pulled the...

I still remember them doing this on TV when I was a little kid, interrupting regular broadcasting. They were scrambling jets to intercept an unknown object coming from the north (still cold war back then) and I remember being freaked that they were going to shoot Santa down.... until the pilots...

I put out a decent kitchen fire.... does that count? Luckily I was right there (some could say I was the cause....) and caught it fast so no major damage.

It does not need to be a mandatory sentence but there should be a fat add-on (2 to 10) for involving a minor OR committing a crime with a minor. Many of these smash and grabs, carjackings, etc. have "adults' (early 20s) and minors all in that group. Catch them, another fat charge for those that...

Maybe we will finally get buck a beer /s

As time goes on priorities change, right or wrong. But in all the below I never lived beyond my means and even though priorities shifted there was always some money going to other things... When I was young and single, I spent too much and did not save as much as I should have but I have little...

It is easy, at those hourly wages it should not be too hard to find a labour or delivery job somewhere else that pays more, so why not? It is sort of a free market economy thing, supply and demand. If Canada Post had a real labour shortage, like any company that experiences such a thing, they...

Was there noise with the old computer speakers?

Are the monitors balanced input, sound card unbalanced? A simple solution is an ART CLEANbox, I have fought and loss the unbalanced RCA to balanced more than a few times (sometimes it is NP, others' need intervention), this or something like it saves a bunch of headaches when intervention is...

We have been running with one bathroom for a few months now, two adults and two teenagers.... it always takes way longer than expected.

The old structure was fine but I am putting in a larger tub = more weight. I figured it was all open so sister them all up, I might even triple a couple before I am done.
