What is finished floor on stairs? Can you access stairs from below? Can you see that step move more than others when MIL walks up the stairs? Watching someone bounce on it may give you an idea where the motion is happening. Putting your fingers on various parts of the stairs can help you find...

I thought about that but decided it was a bad idea. My cameras are set to capture very little off property. In the chance they catch something, I don't mind checking and passing footage to the cops but they don't get access. For municipal supplied cameras, unless they become really popular...

Small tires equals small air volume equals small leaks quickly becoming big changes in pressure. Vespa tire is something like 25-50% of the volume of a car/truck tire. Same leak changes the pressure at two to four times the speed.

The list of mayors is a whose who of the wankers in Ontario, Brown, Horvath, Parrish, Taylor (newmarket started their program with about 14 cameras plus another dozen or so from the region) stand out.

What novel ideas. Facepalm. Mayors that are afraid of losing their cash cows have proposed a number of ideas on how the program can continue in a modified form. If they had implemented these options before, the chance of them getting canned would be low. It's all about the graft. Losers...

Chatgpt was being annoying and wanted me to login. Gemini was happy to make an image of justride.

First generation of speed cameras in Ontario were in vans. I saw them on smaller highways but not expressways (maybe they were there too but I didn't see them). They were also killed as they were pretending they were safety but used them for revenue. Would "Not a speed camera" stickers help or...

If that was the goal, there is an end run but I have less than zero faith in useful implementation. Speed camera revenue > addiction treatment frees up some municipal money (thousands less ambulance rides) and some health care time and money (less stupid trips to the hospital that just waste...

Spot shotter was cool. I have no idea with it was economically reasonable. Put a few systems around and based on arrival time of gun shots, they can locate the source quite quickly and accurately. To me, it makes a lot more sense as a temporary system at events like rally's or festivals (eg...

Every OPP and many municipal cruisers have had them for a few years. Afaik, we run zero (or very close to that) fixed LPR cameras.

I don't know? If they see them as a threat that's a good start down that path.

I'm not grossly opposed to some uses of the cameras. For instance, the more license plate readers, the better IMO. Get the dirtbags (no insurance, no plates, stolen plates, etc) off the street. If they see a no-plate vehicle leaving an area at the same time every day, it would be easy to post a...

I agree with your first point. I don't believe CUPW is the root of the current mess though. Management has been crap for years. Politicians (especially JT) get a lot of the blame as they ensured the ship crashed into the reef. Politicians allowing a pseudo crown corp to hand out millions in...

The contracts are between municipalities and providers. Not douggies bill. IIRC Brampton built a processing centre and is a service provider to other municipalities. That's part of the reason Brown is pushing so hard. He gets all the money from Brampton cameras and cut of other municipalities...

Like most of douggies ideas, this is half-baked at best. Douggie wanted to repurpose speed cameras to monitor entrances to neighbourhoods. Most municipalities don't own the cameras. The company that owns the cameras currently gets ~30% of ticket revenue to pay for the cameras and their service...

Casting doubt as to whether its bikes will ever hit the road? That has been as close as you can get to an absolute certainty for years.

CP should be mail focused. Adding them as homecare agents or bank tellers is bleeping insane. Like government bills that are called one thing and then incorporate many other completely unrelated things, it's just a way to bury more waste and point fingers. If the union wants to be in the job...

It can make a huge difference. Torque sticks for wheels are just various diameters (and often lengths) of bar to limit torque at the far end. On a steady pull, torque passes through. On an impact, the bar winds up and absorbs some torque. An impact driver is using a pretty small cross section...

If you think it is going to suck, some grit paste on the bit can also buy you some luck.

Does it have a center stand? Easiest quick tests have you get the front wheel in the air (center stand and sit on the seat is the easiest). Move bars back and forth. Often old bearings have a click in or near the centre where the balls have made a home (caused by sitting in one place for a long...
