    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Polestar is running some ads with beautiful snark.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    I don't know of a watch that monitors blood pressure. Lots monitor heart rate. Some have more refined monitoring so they can do something similar to an ECG. Many of the colour screen watches require charging daily which is a non-starter for me. FWIW, I have a garmin instinct that monitors heart...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    The story is the car had six people in it. It looks like four or five were out at the time of the shooting. They run off when the shooting starts (very reasonably).

    CT Article re Braking Distances

    Good description of bikes. Disappointing that they didn't include cages. A typical car gets 0.6-0.8G. A typical sports car gets up to 1.3G which is a big problem if you are a bike behind. Even with ABS, max effort braking at the same time as an emergency lane change is a hell of a pucker moment.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    That alone should be enough to secure 50% of the votes in Canada. Even if they don't got that far, Carney has pledged to follow JT's path of banning out of fear with no concerns about reality. The mind boggles.

    Did you exercise today?

    That's normal when you haven't been out on the bike.

    Daily sports car?

    That's helpful. Friends of friends have had ones with no top at all.

    I've never had a warranty issue either. Paying over $800 for a Bulova that may or may not have a warranty is a lot for me. Obviously at the right price, I don't care about warranty anymore as the money I saved can pay for any potential repairs (or more likely can be spent on more watches as no...

    I did a thing

    You've got to start getting some stuff up off the floor. Pulley near the ridge beam can get the generator in the rafters.

    Daily sports car?

    Super 7 is a cool car. Definitely not a "daily sports car" though. Lack of a roof means there are many days a year it is no fun to drive.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    I agree. They also make zero effort to convey that point. Where images or video or edited, that fact should be front and centre imo. I have no problem censoring the video of a kid dying but throw up some text on screen that the footage was intentionally altered from the original.

    building a ramp for a shipping container?

    I normally cheat Stay far enough back and over that I am driving based on what I can see in front of the truck. It doesn't always work depending on traffic and truck position in the lane.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Body cam leaked was cop by passenger door getting people out of car. 16 yo in back seat appeared to grab a handgun from under the passenger seat and swung it up towards the cop. At that point video pauses but audio continues. My guess is media did that but it could also be a camera malfunction...

    building a ramp for a shipping container?

    Most of it is crap firewood. Lots of wet pine and poplar. It needs to season for a year or two and even then, it is better as firepit wood than something you burn in your house. Municipality was cleaning up some roadside branches yesterday. They were using a normal garbage truck and packing it...

    Major breach. Body cam footage was leaked to media. Sure looks like the dumb kid pulled a gun and pointed it at a cop. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/04/23/body-cam-footage-appears-to-show-moments-before-16-year-old-was-shot-by-toronto-police/

    The AD was the question mark. As firms goes through liquidation, at some point HBC ceases to exist and "HBC liquidation inc" takes over. The second company is not an AD. Consumers don't see the change until it is on the receipt.

    What's the grey market price? I assume buying from HBC may cause warranty issues (or maybe they aren't quite far enough down the liquidation path to trigger that yet).

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    They keep pushing the "exchange of gunfire" narrative but then include quotes like " during which two police officers discharged their firearms.". Was the exchange of gunfire just the cops shooting? Wording is imprecise at best. SIU is again screwing the dog and hasn't released anything other...

    I prefer UK style. The vast majority carry less lethal only. The minority carry lethal and have much more training. If you have a gun, the lethal guys show up quickly and shoot you. If you don't want to get shot, don't carry.

    License plate renewal check

    If you file a police report that plate is cloned, alpr may help. It may also get you some courtesy stops. If plate is cloned, I would file the police report and then get a new plate. That leaves the dirtbag as the only one with the old plate.
