    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    There was a drinking establishment in toronto with by-law issues. Fines were $20K a night and happily paid with zero effort to resolve the situation. LLBO threatened their booze license and problems were resolved very quickly. In the case of the truck, who is responsible for the fines? Do they...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    To be fair, if they throw an "ebike" plate on it, it will be just as legal as the majority of ebikes on the road. GLWS.

    Internet Providers besides Bell and Rogers

    I'm constantly amazed (positively) by Teksavvy customer support. During the ice storm aftermath, internet came back and then we lost it again. Cell data didn't work either. I called Teksavvy, got a real english speaking person in two rings and they were happy to look me up and see if the issue...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Vinfast is closing half of their Canadian stores. Not surprising. https://www.insauga.com/closure-car-company-shutting-half-of-its-stores-in-canada/

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    The number of people that move to an area with something noisy and then immediately start complaining about the noise and how they paid for quiet is infuriating. The reason the place was cheaper was because there were some issues. Suck it up buttercup. Gun clubs are complicated. They used to...

    I don't see plate charges. The cops said they pulled the plates three days ago and then again. How? Did operator just go and get new plates since the cops took the first ones? Did the police lie about taking the plates the first time? Did they miss those charges in their list? Obviously this guy...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    https://gtaguns.com/learn-shoot-in-ontario/ I was going to say crown land (carefully check the rules for the parcel you want to shoot in) but there isn't much near london. Personally, I think shooting rifles on crown land in southern ontario is ill-advised. Too many dumb people wandering around...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Big shocker. Public safety minister knows absolutely nothing about guns or licensing. Not even the most basic things. He does know enough to repeat the talking points that they are only targeting criminals and not legal gun owners. The indisputable fact that the overwhelming majority of the guns...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    For better or worse no. No Patek and I think the most I have into a seiko is low three figures.

    25'th Anniversary....and no plans. :(

    I like the concept. The price is offensive to me. ~$3k pp for the train. Add the required flights and hotels at each end and you don't get much change back from 10k.

    Instead of an ignition interlock, a claymore airbag for convicted drunk drivers gets my vote. Dance with the devil and there is a high likelihood you get to meet him.

    High speed trains

    Via is losing $600M a year. A high speed rail line will lose at least an order of magnitude more. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2025/06/04/via-rail-ceo-blames-plummeting-on-time-performance-on-new-cn-speed-rules/

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    Yeah I thought of that after. He has a pension, that should satisfy a reasonably large heloc. I think of reverse mortgages like a pay day loan. Better than the mob if you don't qualify for any conventional channels.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    Technically, you need you need to make interest payments on a heloc but it's all a shell game. You pay the $200 interest payment and withdraw $2000 and they don't blink an eye. There is no requirement to pay down principal while you own the home unless you do something to scare the bank.combine...

    Portable battery charger

    I wouldnt bother. With the new info, I would pull the battery. Properly charge it and load test it before I worry about the bike. Even if a lithium pack jump started it, the poor tiny charging system on a 300 trying to bring a battery back from zero is unwise when there are other easy options.

    Reverse mortgage...redux

    Chip rates are close to 8%. Ouch. What is the upside to reverse mortgage vs heloc? Heloc rates are ~5% and cash flow is infinitely flexible instead of a defined monthly transfer.
