Elaborate? I stopped contributing to RSPs a long time ago because I don't have any meaningful employment income to contribute from. But mathematically, wouldn't compounding growth in any tax sheltered account (RSP, TFSA, etc) be better than getting axed every April? Is "tax planning" having a...

Sounds boring... 🤷‍♂️ Was going to give you an infraction for hijacking another member's thread, but: Thread back on topic. All good... (y)

Logo on the crankcase is the James motorcycle logo. Writing says Villiers. Gonna guess it's a late 1940ish James Villiers: Closer to this one 1951:

Holy fork! Is that MP's house and truck and boat and bike?!?! Sorry @oioioi, yer instabanned for trolling such a baller! I know who I want more as a friend when we're going out for dinner!!!

I just carry a couple of these and I was fine all over Europe: https://www.amazon.ca/Kioosdinfely-European-Adapter-Type-Adapters-Universal/dp/B0B88317BW I dont have any devices that have three-prong plugs.

You're stronger than I am. I break just looking at pictures on the Internet... Motorcycle porn addiction is a real thing.

This was back in the early-90s. I think I got the very first model they made before they rolled them out company-wide. The dept I was in was customer-facing, so they made sure we always got the newest toys to casually pull out in front of the customer during presentations and meetings. I...

Interesting. Thanks! Will check out the Lenovo lineup to see if there's anything that matches my requirements. Funny thing is, I used to work for IBM, so I had Stinkpads coming out my wazoo. That came out wrong. Also that too...

I just want a Windows machine. Is that ok? please?

I'm very old-school though, very much a keyboard and keyboard shortcuts kinda guy. I find it easier opening up a terminal window and performing command-line interface stuff, getting access to the guts of the machine that way. If Windows doesn't work the way I want it to, I'll write a startup...

My friend is an Apple guy, I swear every time he comes over he needs special Apple-this, special Apple-that. "Oh, I can't use that cable, it's not an Apple cable" "Oh, I can't use that USB key, it's not formatted the Apple-way" "Oh, I can't eat that apple, it's not from Cupertino...

It's totally religious. It may be faster, but I'm old and resistant to change. I'd much rather prefer Windows over Mac. No offense intended... 😬

OIC. Use a Mac program instead of my Windows editing apps. I guess I should amend my wishlist. I edit videos like maybe 2% of the time. It's not the primary function, everything else is just typical Windows productivity. Are Macs *that* much faster for video editing? Honestly, I can't see...

Not sure why you would do any of that if all you are running are Windows programs? Why not just get a Windows machine?

No, they stopped allowing client-side release/renew a few years ago. It's essentially static IP, and it seem like they only re-assign a new IP every few years. I've read accounts of customers claiming that they've turned their modem off for 14 days and they still get the same IP address assigned...

@Jayell's had the same IP address since the beginning of all of this. Rogers keeps the same IP address for a very long time. It's effectively static IP, which they have the audacity to charge an additional $5/month for...

Over the weekend, Neda's bike suffered a broken fan out on the trails in Ottawa but we managed to limp it back to Toronto to source a new one. On Tuesday morning, we ordered the fan from one of the Husky dealers in town, Studio Cycle, and they said the part would arrive in 3-5 days. The fan...

I use a lot of "freeware" programs. Afraid that it will be very expensive buying the pay SW for Apple?

Water-cooled?!? Not A Real Harley! On a related note, I've seen mineral oil-cooled PCs. Less chance of a short circuit compared to water. They submerge the whole motherboard in a fishtank or tub:

LOL. Google AI returned: "If your laptop has gotten wet, try placing it in a bag of rice" Thanks a lot, gAI. :rolleyes:
