While a good augering can clean out the roots, they will come back. Start saving.

That's a great deal. If they weren't coated, I'd be all over it.

I don't know the code implications, but mechanically/electrically, a manual generator transfer switch or breaker interlock could easily allow only one receptacle to be powered at a time. That's an expensive solution though. I'd install the charger where the car is most of the time and run the...

Yes. Dedicated circuits. Now is not a terrible time to run expensive cable to a subpanel in the garage. From that sub-panel, the runs to various receptacles are much shorter and easier than home runs for everything.

The major difference is a stove can't draw 50 amps for more than about 30 minutes and then load starts cycling and dropping the average load (and temp). An EV will happily pull full load for hours. There are many many pictures of plugs burned when charging ev's.

Fear is profitable. Hiring high school grads to beat people into submission and do paperwork doesn't sound like a job that should average over 120K/yr. Continue pushing the danger aspect and you can extort more money out of taxpayers. It would be infinitely cheaper to pay them the 60K that the...

Ordered some from Oz (pets-megastore). Six months for $135 all-in, no prescription required. We'll see if they look legit. It looks like ~110USD for six months at costco in the US. I didn't bother calling Costco Canada to get a price, I couldn't find one online.

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.
