    If there wasn't a red light camera they'll do absolutely nothing, unfortunately. I submitted a video to Peel of a pickup passing in the bike lane, using right turn lanes to accelerate ahead of traffic at lights and doing 80+ in a school zone. Never heard a word back.

    "Becky" on Netflix - Think "Home Alone" with less comedy and more Neo-Nazis. Pretty formulaic, but I think I'm going to immediately start watching the sequel right now.

    Criminal Code charge, huh? Anyone else and it likely would have been just Careless.

    You'll find that many things, claimed by Apple, were released by other manufacturers before Apple did. Sometimes LONG before. https://www.macworld.com/article/668532/11-innovations-apple-copied-but-not-from-the-firms-youd-expect.html Specifically, when it comes to iPhone, Apple cribbed several...

    There's a clearer picture of the parking lot curb thing in this video, plus a nice brief clip from Brampton.

    If it's like so much else that's Apple then they likely stole it from someone else and slapped a new coat of paint on it.

    I know, from painful experience, that you can slide a car at least 100 feet during freezing rain, with the brakes fully applied, with snow tires mounted.

    I drove down to my brother's new house, near Chatham, on Dec. 23rd. The snow/rain/freezing rain started when I was maybe 1/3 of the way there. I only saw one vehicle that had gone off-roading, much to my surprise, though it made it a good 50 metres off the road. I was wishing that the idiot in...

    It's just an idiotic design. It's Canada. In winter a 2" curb is called... nothing, because it's invisible.

    I stand corrected. I blew the pic up to 300% and can now make out shallow rectangular grey curbstones. They look to be maybe a couple of inches high and there's a similar lip on the concrete wall around the lot. There might as well be nothing there, as that's not going to impede anything.

    I would put at least half of that on the design of the parking lot. What looks to be a 2 foot drop and no curbstones? That's dangerous.

    You just can't trust anyone these days, can you? Either bank design has changed over the years, or they aren't training their people very well. Way back when tellers could tell police how tall a suspect was within an inch or so, because there were marks on the walls they could use to estimate with.

    I watched "Borderlands" a few days ago. It was... not good.

    Only the ones who have been employed forever, before getting in trouble. The number of trained teachers who are waiting for a position to open is staggering.

    The only information that I could find stated "first degree assault" and that he had just been transferred into that facility, shortly before the beating.

    Fortunately this is slowly going away, with State and Federal law enforcement registries. Some still slip through the cracks, or find employment with backwater agencies.

    I've rewatched "The Orville" maybe three times now. Never gets old. For not being Star Trek it was the best trek since DS9, until "Strange New Worlds" came along. Now it's tied for best ;)

    I still want them to make this a constant thing. These days it seems like a quarter of the plates on the road are obscured in this way. I still haven't swapped out my dealer plate covers, because I need to modify clear covers for a two bolt fit, but I have most of what I need to do it.

    I hate to see "Lower Decks" go but better on a high note, than dragging it out until everyone is sick of it. And perhaps we'll get another animated show to replace it, now that it's been a proven performer.

    Now look up "Kids for Cash Scandal" and get REALLY angry.
