Ah, that was a good laugh. Brightened my day Good ole Mike Harris and the Common Sense Revolution. What is he up to these days anyway? Living underground nextdoor to McGuinty?

I was going to say, I would not want to be the CEO of Metrolinx as I think it's nearly impossible to steer the agency to success, ever since Rob Ford crippled the fledgling agency's autonomy by axing the Transit City initiative as a campaign promise. For $800K a year though, I would take that...

“And if I were Doug Ford, with his weird Teflon political luck? I’d send out two thousand dollar cheques. Just blow the budget entirely! After all, no matter how much he fucks up, the only Ontarians who vote, apparently, are his developer buddies and some weirdos whose entire personality is...

Yes, absolutely I can imagine that. It gets posted nearly daily to /r/justrolledintotheshop My personal opinion on pushing the limits on brake pads is if you are checking them yourself, and often, then do whatever you want.

Random spot checks? Surely it's logistically impossible that they're looking at all of them

Under the new system, with its enhanced documentation... Let's say you buy a vehicle and find cause to believe it should not have passed the safety inspection it received. Is it any easier to "contest" the inspection? Does a vehicle owner have any kind of access to the documentation, or is it...

New eyeballs? Edit: I am being "funny", this is from Minority Report but if you're not already familiar with the scene maybe don't watch it if you are actually having surgery. I was a little unsure what "full Monty" meant in this context. Are you getting IOLs?

The way this is being presented is a little weird. "FMVSS No. 218" is the DOT standard, therefore you would wonder shouldn't this be an immediate problem in the USA as well? The answer is that the manufacturer recalled these in the US 3 months ago: Home | NHTSA

It depends on the fine print. E.g. when I did FAST some years agos, there were two levels of insurance. Let's say one had the deductible of $2000, and the other $500. However, they stressed it was a true deductible i.e. if the cost of the repairs was less than the deductible, then that's all...

It has been more than a hot minute since I did FAST Phase 1 & 2 (Michel Mercier was still teaching) but I had so much fun doing it. I rented gear & a bike, and was completely happy with both. I think the only thing I regretted about the whole experience was a questionable ham sandwich from the...

Beer, videogames, and snacks? AND they're sending me a cheque to pay for it? Oh boy. I'll bet the call from EKOS Research comes on the same day the cheque does

At the end of the day it does represent a choice. Trucks can be an odd segment, because the "small" market is underserved, being unattractive for manufacturers to actually make them. It's not "exciting" but people want them exactly for what they are - utilitarian, reliable. You got what they...

Companies like Airalo negotiate deals with various existing carriers. I'm not sure what term applies for them, MVNO doesn't seem appropriate, but it would make sense to me that the deals would be for a limited amount of licenses and that they would have to re-up their agreements continually. The...

Right, I was just thinking about another layer. To "help" Parsons, since they had trouble meeting demand for the first rollout.

If this was rolled out January 2025 that would be an unprecedented success by the Ontario government. Although if I put my cynical hat on for a moment, Doug has established a pattern with "allying" with large private franchises to make things appear successful. Imagine say, all Canadian Tires...

I presume you mean travel eSIM, i.e. you are not looking for a new domestic cellular provider?

I once got a ticket for something or other (expired reg? out of date address on license?) and somebody advised me to get the problem fixed immediately, then schedule a first appearance with the prosecutor and give them the paperwork showing I took prompt action. I did this (prosecutor was a...
