    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    We just had someone else, who was on bail but had been threatening his victim, kill her a couple of miles from my house at the place where I get my groceries, it would seem. People who can't keep to conditions need to be locked up and we need to fund the system to the extent that it can do so...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    The way that things are going I don't think it will be long before the camera proponents have reduced the school zone limits to 25Kmh (15MPH), like in many US jurisdictions, and cameraed the hell out of them.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    All that the Opposition Parties can do is delay, with debate. With a Majority it's a done deal. Then come the court battles with Brown and Chow.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    I'm now at the point that I ignore Waze's alerts about traffic cameras. With how often they get called out and how speed limits are being monkeyed with, I'm pretty much assuming they're everywhere now. They got me once. Could have got me twice if I wasn't normally a conscientious driver on...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    "And you will see our presence in locations where speed cameras were targeted by vandals." Interesting. So they have enough police to watch for the people who are cutting down the speed cameras, but not enough to do active enforcement in those same areas? Sounds like they could get rid of the...

    No season 3 yet, at least, but Gunn has already said that some characters will make an appearance in another series. EDIT - And I'll be ****** if we don't get to see what's in the forest.

    "Chad Powers" literally sounds like the worst ever superhero. "I'm Chad Powers. I have the powers of a college frat boy!"

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    A quick search shows me that it's a Winchester SXP shotgun. The pipe clamp further to the front would likely be because it's missing the magazine cap. I guess the owner jerry-rigged a replacement. I would guess the second is because the bracket between the barrel and the mag is cracked. If not...

    I still don't know how I didn't see episode 6 of "Peacemaker" coming a mile off. Surprised the hell out of me. Then again my middle name is 'Chris.'

    Surprise, surprise. My neighbour is riding his new motorcycle without a plate on it. That says pretty much everything I need to know about him.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Brampton is resisting Ford's ban. Be warned. Over 180 cameras around here now. https://www.brampton.ca/EN/residents/Roads-and-Traffic/Road-Safety/pages/automated-speed-enforcement.aspx

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    I never got past the first movie. It made me want to put a bullet into the head of every male character.

    The trailer has many elements of "The Fugitive."

    The Bad Drivers of Ontario Thread

    I just had someone force me into the oncoming traffic lanes because he decided that he really, really wanted to make that left turn in the last 50 feet before the light, while I was right next to him. Would have probably been a lot messier if the light hadn't been red at the time, meaning no...

    Transports do that all the time when making left turns off 410 north to Steeles west, which makes it dangerous for vehicles looking to make legal right turns on red. I have no idea why people do this. It's not like the vehicle to their right is blocking their ability to see what's coming so they...

    I absolutely hate when drivers stop past the stop line. It almost got me killed on my bike once. You can technically be ticketed for "failure to stop" for that. And oh, the many bad pedestrian stories that i have after working in downtown TO for almost 30 years. I haven't made one of these in...

    She's a pretty generic Hollywood blonde, so that tracks.

    I put "Lower Decks" into its own category. If I was to have to slot it in with the rest then it would be between SNW and DS9. TOS would come after DS9. So... TOS > SNW > DS9 > STTAS > LD > TNG > Voy > Ent > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Disco ST: Ent was a wasted opportunity. They went into that stupid...

    I would put it above Next Gen. "Orville" was the best (off-brand) Trek in years, until "Strange New Worlds" came along. Now it's close but I give SNW the nod there, if only because it's actual branded Trek. There was also S1.E8, "The Elysian Kingdom", when it comes to silly stuff. Seems like...

    I would say that, overall, "Strange New Worlds" is the best Trek since TOS.
