    TAFB/Jamie

    I have no idea if this was relevant to TAFB or not. After the grenade launcher incident I highly suspect he had a firearm prohibition.

    Harley Happenings - Jochen Zeitz "retiring"

    I went into Poole's in Hamilton 25 years ago. It was very clear it was a place that I wasn't supposed to be. Mackie's was much friendlier (although I listened to them drawing up a deal for a guy that would have made snap-on proud).

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

    I wouldn't go that far. Even without withdrawal symptoms people can be addicted. If it's negatively affecting your life or relationships and you are unwilling to stop, that gets close to the bar for addiction. Like almost everything, it's a continuum, not a clear pass/fail. Addicted to working...

    Is it technically insider trading when he posts "buy" on truth social before making his announcement? Rantings of a lunatic.

    Four years. Mental health is no joke. Take care of yourselves.

    COVID and the housing market

    In the 80's. Sorry. I'll see myself out. Good luck in your quest for comfort.

    Harley Happenings - Jochen Zeitz "retiring"

    On that path, having a separate sales structure but leveraging the existing network for service/warranty might be an acceptable hybrid. A lot of people want service close by. An entirely separate brand with only a few locations is destined to only sell a few bikes (see livewire).

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Looks like admin staff. May not be as big a deal as I first expected. I was thinking this was the major union. Only 1600 employees in this one. https://psacunion.ca/canada-post-1

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

    A few municipalities have started to crack down on public drug use. It seems to be working. Walking around downtown barrie you see cops chatting with users while you try to figure out if you are breathing in secondhand meth or crack. When users threatened residents with knives, bps tells the...

    Harley Happenings - Jochen Zeitz "retiring"

    I take no delight in anyone or any company getting beaten down by the cheeto. HD makes some cool bikes. They have been unable to escape circling the drain for decades. Panam was a good try.

    Harley Happenings - Jochen Zeitz "retiring"

    KLR and Panam aren't competitors. They were hoping to win people cross shopping vs Super adventure, Super Tenere, R1300GS, etc. I don't think they were successful in that quest.

    COVID and the housing market

    A breakfast bar with cabinets below would cover the hole in the floor. For the ceiling hole, I'd be inclined to install short uppers suspended from the ceiling. Something like 2' tall to they were out of your line of sight. If you want to be fancy, glass doors and lights in the uppers. Not the...

    Daily sports car?

    It can also be a cake that is a huge prick to make well.

    COVID and the housing market

    I can't see a way you could add a second floor without permits. Everything about that project triggers a permit.

    COVID and the housing market

    If you want to get fancy and get some more space back, pushing out dormers gets you a lot more floor space (with reasonable ceiling height) and light. I've done that before. One dormer became a full bath, The other was left as part of the room.

    Daily sports car?

    I agree. I got so bored of silver. I really dislike most of the beige/taupe options. White gets dirty faster than silver but much slower than black.

    COVID and the housing market

    Have you measured ceiling deflection below the water bed? Damn. It's hard to have a bigger load and you have had it there for a long time resting on joists that are likely not even supposed to be floor joists.

    Daily sports car?

    Most of the new barrie police cars are battenburg. I appreciate the visibility. I think the particular implementation they picked is ugly. Imo, a smaller pattern looks better. They also went for gross green instead of hi-vis yellow in their pattern. Their trunks are pretty much just white or...

    COVID and the housing market

    For the second floor to be comfortable, it's a pretty major job. Unless you are installing separate hvac upstairs, the staircase and duct work cost you about a room of space on the ground floor. On the upside, you could do it properly which no builder even attempts to do.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Wtaf. Bargaining postponed until 2026. Just keep kicking the can, if you can't find a solution today, dealing with it in the future is sure to be easier. /s I had to double check that this wasn't an April fools post by psac. The mind boggles...
