I don't love the 50A plugs for ev charging, especially inside. Obviously the commercial ones are better but they seem to build too much heat with the constant power draw.

Just for convenience or you think fire risk is higher with L2?

There are at least three ebike crashes with injuries today in the GTA that have been reported. Posting them all would be exhausting.

Barrie police have openly said they don't do property crime anymore. You can file a report and they will give you a file number. This happens even when you identify the dirtbag. That is the extent of their involvement. Why bother filing reports when all it does is waste your time? The police may...

This has it all. Brampton, ebike, rider plus passenger, 15 yo's (not legal). Best wishes to the riders in their recovery. https://www.cp24.com/local/peel/2026/04/28/2-teens-injured-1-critically-in-e-bike-collision-with-vehicle-in-brampton/

I found it at an auction. Otherwise I would not have it. It's a copper core 5 qt at $750 MSRP. It's ok but nothing special imo.

Some people pinch the cable under the door. Some people put a proper pass-through into the wall. IIRC, code has something to say about this. I know of more chargers inside than outside. I would be installing the charger inside for lots of reasons (weather, theft of EVSE, no wankers can charge...

While I have many issues with police, it has to be so painful for them when they spend more hours doing paperwork on a crime than the criminal spends locked up. I think the courts are a much larger problem than the police.

Agreed. I use a carbon steel wok, cast iron pan and All-clad stainless saute pan for 90% of what I cook. If I am doing something with red sauce on meat, it normally goes in a coated pan (pampered chef, rock or a paderno that won't be replaced when it eventually flakes).

Sounds bad. Not many details out. At least one car, two OPP cruisers and an OPP motorbike in a crash. Entire highway closed. One person died. Condolences to the friends and family. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BC8KPgC6m/ Edit: Sadly, as expected, OPP officer on bike was the fatality. RiP...

I was seriously considering it for my wifes next vehicle. She'd love it. That was when price was ~50K. At the price they actually wanted once they became available, it's a hard no for me. There is no way it ever makes economic sense for us. Once they get old and depreciated, I'll think again but...

That is a cool idea. So many variables though. An individual insurance company could conceivably do it as the rider and rate are entered as fixed data and the choice of bike that meets the criteria is listed. I would be shocked if that was ever consumer facing though. Too easy for competitors to...

Damn, while Honda has never been the choice for exhilaration but a few of their recent bikes that seem interesting at first glance (Transalp and 250 Rally) seem to be lost to the bean counters. Some more money in suspension and they may have been acceptable out of the box.

Tragic update. She didn't make it. Condolences to her friends and family. "The motorcyclist has been identified as a 29-year-old woman from Markham." EDIT: Plate is visible in this video in case anyone wonders if it's a friend...

Get them delivered onto the top of the scaffold and/or rooftop staging areas.

Scaffold rental will be much cheaper than the labour/profit you pay a contractor. Scaffold the bottom of pitches so you can't slide to the ground. Use fall restraint so you can't fall off the side. Feels safer and is safe. The scaffolding is an unnecessary expense as the rope can do the job...

Best wishes to all the riders.

I don't want to pry into too many details but what is the main issue? Pension not indexed? Cpp indexed to Canada but oz inflation is higher? Cpp indexed to cpi which is bs and barely related to real inflation? Investment pool shrinking quickly? Lots of ways for retirement to get harder, I'm...

It's through Inova. Costco charges companies to be associated with them. I have no idea how the rates/claims experience compare. MC insurance is chat/phone only, you can't fill out a form and get pricing at midnight. https://www.inovainc.ca/

Pulled one out of my wifes leg today. Tenacious little bastard. It did not want to let go. etick.ca seems good. You upload pics of tick and they log the exposure and identify the tick for you and list things it may transmit to you. It took a few hours but she had a blacklegged tick. It used to...
