    Coyotes

    There's a huge difference between killing something humanely, and just causing pain and torment for entertainment.

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

    I really wish more people would understand this. What chance does a kid born to drug addicts have. Even if the kid is born without physical/mental issues, that kid inevitably falls into gang life and gets sent to a facility. Then when they get out, the cycle just repeats back, because it's...

    Are you a "Save every penny for retirement" or "Live life now" type person?

    I lived my first 40 years as a "live life now" person, and that's why I had nothing. My ex and I would buy stupid crap all the time and never think about the debt. About three times during the 20 year relationship, we consolidated with the mortgage to get back to zero, and that's why we owed a...

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

    I have someone close that has been in the front line of youth corrections for the last 15 years. They work closely with kids that need mental health support. I cringe when everyone just says to lock criminals up and throw away the key. People really don't understand the conditions that lead...

    Power distribution blocks

    I bought this battery in 2018, so there's no link for it. But the title of it was (aceyoon 50000mAh USB Type-C Power Bank Laptop PD Charger and USB QC 3.0 Battery Voltage Adjustable 9V - 24V Type C PowerBank Compatible for iPhone, HP, Dell, Asus, MacBook, Samsung, Google Devices). As for the...

    Power distribution blocks

    Interesting about the CPAP. The battery I use is able to change from 5 to 24v, but it charges with 12v (according to the print on the plug transformer). I've also had an inverter fail on me while I was camping, so I know how much that sucks. That's why I figured out how to use the laptop...

    Power distribution blocks

    I'm curious what CPAP battery and heated vest batteries your using that require 120v? For my CPAP I use a laptop battery bank and was able to find a cable online that charges it from 12v. It's a cable that has SAE and the right bullet connector. I have a Fired Up X heated vest that both...

    Bluetooth, where to start!

    I don't want to read all the replies, just give my experience. I bought set of Cardo Freecom 4x for my partner and I a few months ago. I would say that they work perfect 95% of the time. They will randomly drop connection with each rider maybe once on a four hour ride, but it is just a quick...

    Tipping

    I can't imagine having a sit down meal in a restaurant for $15, but yes. A server brought me that $15 meal, the same as a server bringing me a $95 meal. Say the server is making $17 an hour and covers four tables an hour. Now they are making $37 an hour if everyone tipped like me. I know...

    Tipping

    I basically stopped tipping a few years ago when they stopped the different pay scale for servers. I would rather everyone make a living wage, but at this point, the kitchen and servers are making the same, or close. I never tip percentages, because that just doesn't make sense to me. Just...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Auto loans are open, so you can pay them off anytime you want without paying the interest. Most things I've read has been dealerships asking people to keep the loan for at least four months before paying it off. Assumingly they get some kind of bonus if you do.

    Getting custom ear plugs made

    I bought these this past summer as well. I used foamies for years and never had an issue, but I wanted something that was quick and easy to put in. These fit the bill very well. My only disappoint was my expectation that I'd be able to hear voices better, but they sound absolutely no...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    I learned this when I took my MINI to the dealer for some red dash light. They wanted to replace the whole motor. I got it towed to a local shop and, if I remember correctly, it was plugs and coils or something like that. Less than a thousand bucks and I was good as new. The dealer straight...

    Dear America: GET A GRIP !!!!

    How about at their friends house? You could do everything right at your own, and then their friends parents are morans and leave a gun out. Changing the laws to try and make it safer for everyone should be a no brainer. But then here's your comment.

    Grocery store boycott

    I was a huge Loblaws shopper. I would constantly buy things on the Flashfood app, and of course, pick up other stuff while I was there. I came across the thread on Reddit and have been boycotting them since May 1. It probably won't do anything in the end, but I just feel like I have to do...

    1+1=RACIST!!!

    I got 30 seconds into that video and it just screams trucker convoy to me. Sorry, but I can't watch that stuff. I don't know, both my kids took math all throughout their schooling. One had no issues whatsoever, and the other one is struggling a bit in a grade 12 course. I helped them with...

    TV shows currently watching

    I enjoyed it. But it was basically the exact opposite of what I expected to happen.

    PickAxe Loop, top portion north Barry's Bay, clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?

    My partner and I rode the Pickaxe loop last year on our Groms. I'm a decently experienced dirt biker and she's a complete noob. If you watch this video, we did the Paugh Lake section all up to the 16:13 mark. I did have to help her get her bike up one of the really rocky climbs close to the...

    When does a bike have too many hours?

    200 hrs wouldn't be an issue to me. Especially on a 2T. I had over that on a KTM 200xcw that was still on the original clutch. Changed the top end about 3 times and the bottom once. You will probably want to change all the bearings and seals though.

    This makes me angry

    Yup. Factory farming. The more I learned, the more I was disgusted. But because they're not cute little puppies, no one gives a ****.
