I never thought of the municipal docks etc. During Covid a friend sold his dilapidated 28 foot cruiser for about $4K. I assume it got used as a floating cottage for a few years but now it would be a liability, pay to tow and scrap. If the buyer never changed ownership they could motor up to...

Here as well. A coworker's cousin was IMO murdered in the Kingston area a number of decades ago. Late at night and he may have rolled a stop sign then pulled up his driveway. An OPP cruiser pulled in behind him and shot him when he got out of the car. No witnesses and an OPP investigation...

The ICE attitude towards anyone that doesn't wear a MAGA hat seems rough. I don't know what the hiring screening is like but assume it's got a roid rage / intimidation component.

Can SSBs go from 100% to 0% charge without affecting battery life? That changes the range reality. If they discourage using the top and bottom 20% of the maximum range they advertise, it drops from 500 KM to 300. My gas tank doesn't fail sooner if I top it to the brim or run it dry. How would...

I practice recycling

Aren't 90% of the trailers on the road home built? :)

Sit in line 20 minutes for gas, sipping a $5.00 coffee, saving $0.01 a liter on a 60 liter fill up. Spend two minutes of your time filling out a contest application with 500,000 possible entrants. So collectively a million minutes of time are consumed to potentially win ONE $1,000 prize...

So where's the influencer?

I did that once sending TC two copies, a letter and a self addressed envelope. I got a rubber stamped copy back.

Re the above selling without seeing the transfer: You sell a boat for $30,000 taking a $3,000 deposit and exchanging the paperwork. The prospective new owner shows up with the balance and a trailer but doesn't want to do the transfer because it will cost him $3900 in taxes. That saves him the...

I never leave anything in my name once it belongs to someone else. All the receipts and agreements written on scraps of paper are IMO worthless in a lawsuit. If something registered to you causes a liability the injured party doesn't give a rat's ass about you selling it to Joe who sold it to...

And what noble honourable person appoints the head of the RCMP? Why none other than our PM, Saint Markus of Carney, patron of all things wise, frugal and fair.

Full presidential pardon probably already written. Note to Greenland: Do you want to live this lifestyle?

Three degree camera angles would help establish actual risk to the ICE agent. From my point of view it wasn't a big deal. The threatened officer could claim he was moving out of a potential crossfire situation. (Which would be an admission of an intent to kill without identifying a victim)...

In a lot of US videos of police interactions the profanity from the police is 180 degrees from deescalation. "GET OUT OF THE F****** CAR." IMO the use of profanity indicates a low level of intelligence and is an escalator.

A friend's son bought a car out of Quebec, wrecked it and did well with the insurance settlement.

A lot of EV math is monkey math. Yes the max range is 500 KM but to save your battery they don't recommend you use the top or bottom 20% so for longer battery life it's a 300 km battery, less in winter, worse still, towing. One huge problem with the poor man's car is that few people want to...

Total number? 40 dead and 116 injured = 156 PLUS those fortunate to get out uninjured. Total is likely over double the occupancy limit of 100. Ticking time bombs A friend who is very knowledgeable on fire safety and laws went to a Christmas church service with his elderly mother and got...

I don't have any inside info on the tragedy but I got the impression the party was in a basement down a slightly narrow stairway. While not confirmed, someone may have been carrying a Champaign bottle with sparklers that ignited flammables. Forty dead and one hundred and thirteen injured, many...
