Here's a real winner. Banned x9. https://www.peelpolice.ca//modules/news/index.aspx?newsId=d650bc33-ebed-4be8-a82d-57d43f4a2f6d&utm_source=social&utm_medium=combined&utm_campaign=newsrelease

Yup. Role playing games turned it into some sort of uber-gun, in the same way that they always over estimate the katana as a sword (European swords, of the same vintage, were made with superior steel). Funny thing is that in Canada, until the ban on new purchases of pistols, I could buy...

Things developed pretty rapidly from caplocks, to cartridge firearms but as usually happens with such developments, stuff tends to get used long after better tech is available. During the civil war they also had paper cartridges, that were powder and a proper tapered bullet wrapped in paper, to...

You should be able to make out more in this pic.

The powder flask has a thumb lever, that opens a valve to deliver the powder. The spout is sized to hold 24 grains of powder so you put a finger over the opening of the spout, thumb the valve open and then release the lever to close it. That gives you a measured 24 grains of powder to pour into...

As counterpoint, I loved the movie and subsequent TV series that it spawned.

Done.

Lack of process to handle mental health issues.

Far too often a surety doesn't take their responsibility seriously, likely because the penalties have been so rarely applied. The breach must have been ridiculously obvious.

The reduced lanes on The Gardiner are currently a limit of 70 Kmh (though I question the legality of the signage) and I doubt anyone is doing less than 100 through there.

And on to the final piece.

Local parents, picking up their kids from school, are some of the worst drivers (and parkers) that I've seen.

Addition to my warning: Because of the ticket I recently got for doing what I thought was still the limit in that stealth reduced limit area, I enabled limit warnings in Waze. This change was so recent that Waze was telling me the limit was still 50 Kmh. EDIT - Oh, and if anyone here listens to...

A follow-up to my "I'm the idiot" post in this thread, from a while back: If you drive in Brampton and don't want to be the idiot, like me, be aware that I just saw another stealth reduction in a speed limit. The limit on Balmoral past Bramalea Secondary School, at Balmoral and Bramalea Road...

Rewatching "Corner Gas" on Tubi. Six seasons of great Canadian comedy.

Use your imagination. ... then make both parts 150% worse.

Today I saw two Lamborghini Aventadors on The Gardiner. The first went straight onto the QEW. The second took the ramp onto 427 and damned near took my front bumper with him. Thinks that horsepower and paddle shifters are a substitute for shoulder checks and driving skill. I still beat him to...

Powder flask holder finished.

Just watched that this morning :ROFLMAO:

True. I had to go through the normal process of vetting for my restricted license, in order to purchase a pistol that takes 10 minutes to load. Back when I bought it you could buy exactly the same pistol, in New York State, with just your driver's license. EDIT - I know a place that's currently...
