If the EV industry wanted to take a big kick at the ICE market they could standardize battery sizes. The concept is simple but patents, copyrights, engineering concepts all differ but transfer that to the flashlight market. Imagine if every flashlight maker had its own proprietary battery. You...

Electric motors are tough. My beer fridge is well over 60 years old hasn't had a service call since we acquired it with the house 45 years ago. The wiring system consists of a light switch, a bulb, a thermostat and compressor motor. Imagine a Tesla with just an on-off switch. It's the controls...

Recharging at home is comparatively easy if home is a single family dwelling. Even 120 volts gets, IIRC, 100 miles overnight, good enough for grocery shopping. The nice thing about EV's is that when stuck in a gridlock the motor isn't consuming power unlike ICE. But the air conditioning and...

How would a tariff free BYD compare pricewise to ICE, similar size? If they sold like hotcakes the infrastructure issues would become apparent. Then the loss of gas tax revenue. The comes a per KM tax to compensate. Then the shift on refinery outputs to other products.

Lightcycle, I had to chuckle at your interior BC comments. I had a cousin that moved there to escape creditors. Had about a dozen kids, all delivered at home. Junkyard front yard. Get the chickens off the table, it's time for dinner.

GWS Regardless of cause.

As would his legal bill. Apologies and contrition are a lot cheaper.

DD in my mind is choosing to race or engage in an activity that is reasonably likely to injure someone. The assault is obvious but to what degree. Denial in the face of hard evidence should maximize the penalty.

Good point. Maybe he's done it before. Maybe he'll up his game. It doesn't have to be corrosive. Soapy water in your eyes while riding isn't a harmless prank.

For that one I'd go with Bicycles STOP as well

In court the "Get off the road" is he said they said, or I said "Watch the road" Sometimes we all screw up. Denying it means you have no intention of changing your attitude. Loser! If charges are laid, would it be assault, dangerous driving or???

Is this a variant of gravel spread in corners?

As stated, what was the motorcyclist's intent? "Touched his shoulder to avoid a collision." Why did he get so close that it was necessary? He could have taken the other track. Push steer is amazing in these situations. Didn't see but what about his pals riding behind him. Any moral thoughts.

I'm waiting for his "Upon review..." speech or will it be a "Due to the tariff situation..."speech.

CP is in a somewhat different position than a factory. Wally at Widgets Inc is expected to make 100 widgets a day because that's how many they sell on average, over a year. On a slow sales week the excess goes into the warehouse to be on hand when sales boom. Peter the Postie letter carrier...

Where does she live? A lot of downtown workers live in the burbs. Job security and seniority. When my wife was working near Burnhamthorpe and 427 a coworker came via public transit from near Scarborough Town Centre. Then the company moved to near Erin Mills and the QEW. Longer commute and Go...

EV performance is great. So taxpayers pay to subsidize expensive high-performance vehicles being purchased by the wealthier set. All while the government throws billions on not-yet-fully-developed technologies dependent on foreign sources. To the buyers: Some of the free courtesy charge points...

Kudos to people that look at what they have instead of weeping over what they've lost.

Go back to my previous post. People with high incomes setting the rules for those making less than half the amount. Those in the upper crust don't have housing problems, they drive company cars, dine on expense accounts and get lavish perks. Civil servant underlings don't bite the hands that...

I notice the shingles in the lower picture protrude further over the edge. My problem.
