I would say that Gunn has much more of a grasp on who Superman is than Snyder ever could, on his best day. As a film buff friend of mine put it Superman is a sun God and Batman is a Night God. The lighting of a Snyder film just doesn't work for Superman. The tone is way off, in general. In...

Stating lack of remorse is what did him in.

I just broke the seal on the BluRay of "Superman" that I received this week. I ordered as soon as the pre-order was available. Somewhat ironically a friend in the US, who ordered at the same time I did, received notification that his order was delayed. Something about tariffs. Who'da thought?

Oddly enough, ownership of automatic weapons was legal in Canada, without even the need to register them, until 1951. They didn't even become prohibited weapons until 1977, when laws were radically changed after the Brampton Centennial Secondary School shootings. Sitting in the soccer field of...

Get the police involved and it goes right back to you. The pawn shops around the university learned that they shouldn't be accepting stolen computers, rather quickly.

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.
