Fiber Internet service has been going down like Freeland's cocaine-high every few weeks; sometimes every few days here in South Frontenac and that's JUST South Frontenac. Bell lashed alot of the fiber trunks to their existing copper assets (which essentially is being done sly on government tax...

As long as the NDP insist on racist and sexist policies at their conventions and meetings, I will definitely not support them, and will definitely tell anyone that asks why. As for Jagmeet ... he's a champagne socialist, do you really want one of those?

In the 90s, Bell took a "business of the year" award away from my company by announcing just a month before the award event that they were opening a call center in Kingston, with 400 new jobs. They never opened it. I later learned that they did the same thing with other companies in the...

I have owned many Aprilias and they've all been quite reliable for me. My Tuono started having the occasional old-bike problems at around 12 years in but that's to be expected from any manufacturer (stuff like fork seals leaking, some composite tank distortion that needed attention, et al) and...

If you think that's true of the Tuono, you can see why after 12 years of owning RSV4s, I switched to the big Katoom.

Heating issues definitely overblown. They're amazing bikes that handle well and have a great mid/top end power rush. They look good, they sound good, they're overall an excellent bike if you like backroad noodling and maybe some track work. It's not what I'd call a great city stoplight bike...

It's supposed to anyway, but two winters past, I had my truck slow down gradually and not want to run over 1500 rpm for some period of time when I went down into a valley one morning on my way to Ottawa @ -36C average. At the bottom of the valley west of Maberley it was -41C and not long after...

Makes sense, I would guess in that arctic environment they'd have natural gas available and other such fuels. Also, you'd have some issues with crude or diesel in very low temperatures (though that's not so hard to deal with within the context of the ship).

Roman concrete - Wikipedia weirdly fascinating

Yeah. Fortunately I can walk out into my back 8 acres and there's a treeline between me and the houses. Very dark out there. (my house @ top, everything behind the row of houses back is my property... a bit odd but works for me)

I don't see why they couldn't run the thrusters off local motors, though. I mean, if there's a will, there's a way. That said it's obvious why they are doing it in the era of electric motors that put out huge amounts of torque (and from rest). It's certainly much more practical and...

There's nothing really stopping you from doing this with an ICE motor. It would be more complex, however.

Sorry, no. I watched a documentary about Roman times not long ago, released in 2021 IIRC and they talked about how the exact chemical components that made Roman concrete are still not fully understood. It's lasted many centuries now, some of it even in ruins of an old bathhouse, partially...

Personally, I use a solar panel and light multiple lights around my pool and rear yard with battery storage. Until the batteries die, they're quite pleasant and zero-maintenance. Are they carbon-neutral, though? Not a chance... made from plastic and whatever makes up the batteries... and...

It's torturous to see you tie yourself in knots to lie to yourself about this, much less us. Let's just dissect what the first person said: You could get a yellow card if you do not identify as a man, if you're a person of color, or a if you're a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community. So, if you...

The Mayans had aquaducts and nobody even today can figure out how Roman concrete is so good. But like the Middle East, what they did not have was a global empire that changed the entire world. Global Empire. Global. That's why those two empires over 2500 years not only had their own...

That's not a problem, it's just a fact. The Roman Empire followed by the British Empire built everything we consider to be modern. That they used innovations from other parts of the world and from other races is only tertiary to the overall. So, I don't feel that the public detestation of...

In this video? No. At the conference? Yes. NDP policy convention in Hamilton devolves into SJW gong show Take a look at 5:30 when a male member tries to use the yellow card - listen to what she says. Just for added fun, note that she then says that a male that is not presenting as a man...

What exactly do you think "enforce gender parity at the mics" means, Tim? Not that this was the only video I've seen, others had the actual lineup for the mic where people were yellow-carding male speakers. Edit: Youtube has done what Youtube does, they've scoured the site of just about...

If that's problematical for you Brian, then so is reality in general. Honestly, I thought better of you. I even posted one of the news sources for it (guess what, most of them were foreign, not Canadian... I wonder why?) If you really want to do a deep dive on it, there's video of the...
