Re https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/oro-hwy-11-and-line-15-rip.233603/ If you chase someone with a knife and kill them, is it murder or manslaughter? My impression is that murder meant the intention was to kill. Manslaughter resulting in death would be only meaning to hurt but the...

nuff said in violation of forum rules. My sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased. May your hearts avoid bitterness in this tragedy and remember your loved one as he was in better times.

With our last house, 45 yeas ago, the principal, interest (5% for 25 years) and taxes went to the lender to pass on as agreed. Sometimes it was tough to come up with the $90.00. :)

Inflation will make you rich so buy the most expensive place you can, leveraging a huge mortgage. If rates go up, prices go down and any equity gets sucked down the drain followed by foreclosure costs. First time buyers get hit the hardest as their down payment is the only equity. A move-up...

I wonder why taxes are two clumps of three when almost everything else we pay is monthly. If a person is running tight the tax months are a big budgetary speed bump.

Wishful thinking can be expensive. A friend in rural Quebec may have gotten bad advice from an agent and listed high for a small entry level home with low curb appeal. After a months of no interest there was a price drop, more months with a couple of viewings, another price drop and it's still...

The problem isn't whether something will work or not. The problem is wanting instant solutions. Getting gas anywhere was a problem in the early days of cars. If you could find it in remote locations it was stale and hand pumped out of rusty 45-gallon barrels. As sales improved, service...

It is a valid point in that the poor can't afford to worry about climate change and the world is full of poor people. Many are dependent on polluting systems to feed and shelter their families. If burning a rubber tire keeps them from freezing to death in the next hour they don't care about the...

Not cars but a watch. My wife bought herself a cheap watch at Walmart because she liked it. It was $12.99. A year and a half later the battery died and the replacement battery was $16.00. She was going to buy another watch just for the battery but I found a replacement in my button cell...

IMO there's a very limited market for EV's if total financial practicality is the only factor. For too many, they are subsidized hot rods for well-to-do eco warriors. I could never get the numbers to work for me as the EV premium took too long to recoup, worse if I got a bad battery. A hybrid...

Nothing but doom and gloom from YouTube wannabees. Hamilton is getting trashed but a check of things around Gage Park shows most sales 10% or less below list. Condos could be different than detached. One property could be an exception in that the new owners got into a bidding war on the...

I wonder what the war chest looks like as the rank and file get strike pay and the executives get full salaries. At some point there has to be a revolt.

Jan Simpson told them to cheer up. Things could be worse. So they cheered up and sure enough, things got worse. Edit: I do feel sorry for the hard working focused individuals in the postal system that have been there for decades expecting their diligence to be rewarded with security in...

I don't wish ill on anyone, but I also don't want it dumped on me by me having to prop up lost causes. A 748-million-dollar loss is $18 each for every man, woman and child in Canada. Do the math. Follow the money.

My point. It's always easy to spend other people's money.

It seems Jan Simpson seems to be p***** that she might lose her job and have to actually work somewhere. The government doesn't have enough eggs to fill the CUPW carton. Maybe the CUPW members have to take on the task of stimulating more business. What if each member bought and used 1000...

I was riding shotgun yesterday in my buddy's Tesla S. He tends to keep it in hurry mode when in self drive and it can be a bit aggressive for my tastes. It can be worse when it's not in self drive and he's in hurry mode. With ICE, heavy acceleration usually comes with a noticeable downshift and...

Ended as a nothing burger but I saw a semi waiting to make a left pull completely into the pedestrian walkway. There weren't any pedestrians but the car to his right had to pull most of the way into the right crosslane to see if there was any traffic to make a right on red. Details, details

Is there a thread on bad pedestrians? Wednesday I was heading west on Eglington in the cage and came to a stop in the curb lane. To my left was a snub nose cube van stopped well over the stop line. The light turned green and just as I started to accelerate three giggling teen princesses...

Justin and Jean C both said we're post national mongrels. On that thought, maybe the local dog walkers can do letter delivery as side gigs.
