    Power distribution blocks

    I'm curious what CPAP battery and heated vest batteries your using that require 120v? For my CPAP I use a laptop battery bank and was able to find a cable online that charges it from 12v. It's a cable that has SAE and the right bullet connector. I have a Fired Up X heated vest that both...

    Bluetooth, where to start!

    I don't want to read all the replies, just give my experience. I bought set of Cardo Freecom 4x for my partner and I a few months ago. I would say that they work perfect 95% of the time. They will randomly drop connection with each rider maybe once on a four hour ride, but it is just a quick...

    Tipping

    I can't imagine having a sit down meal in a restaurant for $15, but yes. A server brought me that $15 meal, the same as a server bringing me a $95 meal. Say the server is making $17 an hour and covers four tables an hour. Now they are making $37 an hour if everyone tipped like me. I know...

    Tipping

    I basically stopped tipping a few years ago when they stopped the different pay scale for servers. I would rather everyone make a living wage, but at this point, the kitchen and servers are making the same, or close. I never tip percentages, because that just doesn't make sense to me. Just...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Auto loans are open, so you can pay them off anytime you want without paying the interest. Most things I've read has been dealerships asking people to keep the loan for at least four months before paying it off. Assumingly they get some kind of bonus if you do.

    Getting custom ear plugs made

    I bought these this past summer as well. I used foamies for years and never had an issue, but I wanted something that was quick and easy to put in. These fit the bill very well. My only disappoint was my expectation that I'd be able to hear voices better, but they sound absolutely no...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I learned this when I took my MINI to the dealer for some red dash light. They wanted to replace the whole motor. I got it towed to a local shop and, if I remember correctly, it was plugs and coils or something like that. Less than a thousand bucks and I was good as new. The dealer straight...

    Dear America: GET A GRIP !!!!

    How about at their friends house? You could do everything right at your own, and then their friends parents are morans and leave a gun out. Changing the laws to try and make it safer for everyone should be a no brainer. But then here's your comment.

    Grocery store boycott

    I was a huge Loblaws shopper. I would constantly buy things on the Flashfood app, and of course, pick up other stuff while I was there. I came across the thread on Reddit and have been boycotting them since May 1. It probably won't do anything in the end, but I just feel like I have to do...

    1+1=RACIST!!!

    I got 30 seconds into that video and it just screams trucker convoy to me. Sorry, but I can't watch that stuff. I don't know, both my kids took math all throughout their schooling. One had no issues whatsoever, and the other one is struggling a bit in a grade 12 course. I helped them with...

    I enjoyed it. But it was basically the exact opposite of what I expected to happen.

    PickAxe Loop, top portion north Barry's Bay, clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

    My partner and I rode the Pickaxe loop last year on our Groms. I'm a decently experienced dirt biker and she's a complete noob. If you watch this video, we did the Paugh Lake section all up to the 16:13 mark. I did have to help her get her bike up one of the really rocky climbs close to the...

    When does a bike have too many hours?

    200 hrs wouldn't be an issue to me. Especially on a 2T. I had over that on a KTM 200xcw that was still on the original clutch. Changed the top end about 3 times and the bottom once. You will probably want to change all the bearings and seals though.

    This makes me angry

    Yup. Factory farming. The more I learned, the more I was disgusted. But because they're not cute little puppies, no one gives a ****.

    Agreed, but I wish they left Elvis at home. Absolutely no comparison to Band of Brothers either. But still a really good watch.

    Water damaged drywall

    I will never never never do drywall again. I'd done bits here an there in the past and after watching some videos I felt much more confident. So when it came time to finish my basement, I was gunho to do it. I did the framing, electrical, plumbing, and hung all the drywall. Easy peasy. The...

    Knives - What are you using in the kitchen??

    I would never support an MLM, so cutco is definitely out. I absolutely love cooking, and do it all in my household. I bought a Japanese Nikiri style knife from SHARP Knife Shop, online. I really really wish I would have done this much sooner. I love the feel of the handle, and the blade has...

    Possible Paving Scam?

    Right? I thought those posts were someone joking. You're right on the money here.

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

    Unfortunately a breathalyzer isn't going to detect anything other than alcohol. I work with someone who, it's pretty obvious, is high on pills from time to time.

    Wanting to try trail riding, any suggestions on bike?

    Great point! I didn't even occur to me that one might try to ride offroad on something other than a 21" wheel. In my mind it was a given that even if it was an SM, it would have proper size rims and tires for offroad.
