    Science news of the day

    I get the feeling that a white roof is going to be a bit more useful in climates that don’t get ******* frigid for 6 months of the year. I thought about it for our flat roof for a bit then weighed up the effort/benefit ratio.

    I have a large organ. The website has a picture size cap though.

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    Yes but soccer = 2x45 mins. Thats it. Done. Cricket on the other hand……

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    So only 5h now? Only kidding. I think it's probably a much better game for me viewed live.

    Where are the Toronto Jays fans

    I hate Ticketmaster with every ounce of my being. Pretty sure any politician of any party could win by promising to ban the fuckers. I'm not a big fan of baseball (too many stats, too long and weird rules) but I'm very glad the Blue Jays are where they are and I hope they stuff the Yanks.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    This came up when I was told about my leaking flat roof. I went looking for solutions and there’s a treatment for flat roofs and one for shingles too. Everything I read suggested this is a bandaid just like the silicone spray treatments for flat roofs. Slap a metal roof on and be done with it...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Go to an official rescue/adoption place. 99% of those Kijiji /facebook ads are backyard breeders. I don’t mind paying an adoption fee to an org that actively rescues dogs from a lifetime of breeding and poor conditions but I could never give cash to some yahoo that’s going to use it on whatever...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Mum was a bouvier, dad was a lab of some kind. Rescued from a Quebec puppy mill.

    Where to get a puppy?

    This is one of mine. He's got mobility issues now. Absolutely incredible temperament.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    I think we need a beer fridge. My wife complains about me keeping my beer in the wine fridge I bought her as a present.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    The one we ordered has bins. It was the cheapest frost free upright on the Costco site. Added bonus is the delivery includes haul away of the old freezer. It’s a Hisense one and we added a 5 year warranty for 100 bucks. Even if it's crappy Costco warranties are good.

    Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

    Garage stank of a sickly sweet chemical smell. Came on suddenly on Friday and lingered yesterday too and I couldn’t pinpoint a source. Went through all the chemicals/paints etc in the garage to see if anything was broken/punctured etc. Thought about the freezer and took off a panel to look...

    Soccer/football thread 2022

    I'm just in a bad mood. Gapko should be a carpenter with the amount of woodwork he touches plus an open header missed. Wtf was up with Salah? One sitter, one slightly less easy both missed. Ekitike started off like a whirlwind and died like one after 10 minutes. Chiesa was good, Frimpong...

    Where to get a puppy?

    Every dog is good with kids but some prefer ketchup with them.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    There's three goat heads in that lot apparently. Actual heads of goats.

    Where to get a puppy?

    I was shocked to learn Danes usually only live for 7 years. There’s a bunch of breed specific rescues around Ontario. My wife joined the Bouvier rescue group a while back and the number of times we nearly got a third dog is pretty high. Our two are mixed Bouvier dogs rescued from a Quebec...

    Where to get a puppy?

    We have a very trusted friend who looks after the dogs in the house when we are away. If she can’t do it, we don’t go away. We used to board them in kennels when they were younger but they came back bored and unhappy plus they kind of have special needs now and I never fully trusted the...

    Where to get a puppy?

    We got an SUV for our dogs but it didn’t work as well as we wanted. Needed a separate opening rear window (it's just useful, trust me) but not many SUVs have that so hunted around for one that did. Bought one used. Cost us a fortune. Bed was too high for the dogs to jump onto when they got...

    Where to get a puppy?

    It's not cheap but for us we have come out more or less even or better over the years. Vet fees are no joke. One of our guys has been on anti-inflammatories since he was 10 weeks old. The insurance covers (80%) his painkillers, a shot every month for arthritis and pain. He had an ACL surgery...

    Where to get a puppy?

    You're missing out on a bunch of potential good furry friends with the weight and fur thing. Get any young dog and train it well and it should be good with kids. Older dogs with bad habits would be harder. When our beagle died we went out and adopted two fluffy things that turned into 50lb+...
