Imagine a two lane street where the west bound traffic had a 300 MPH limit but the east bound lane was limited to 1 MPH. You go to the beer store for a six-pack on your credit card and it's on your card account before you get a sip of the suds. You transfer the price of the suds from your...

Doom and gloom Canada newscasts say 4000 will close in 2026 on top of the 7000 that closed in 2025. I don't know how many new starts there were last year or the forecast for 2026. Net gain or loss year to year. Cold start up restaurants are brutally expensive and many fail. If a second owner...

I don't have any inside info on the tragedy but I got the impression the party was in a basement down a slightly narrow stairway. While not confirmed, someone may have been carrying a Champaign bottle with sparklers that ignited flammables. Forty dead and one hundred and thirteen injured, many...

In a Florida thing caught on YouTube a driver is pulled over by an ALPR with it showing an unpaid fine. The car is to be towed so the officers “Inventory” the car with the driver protesting she’d didn’t give permission to search. The police reply is “They are inventorying” because the car is...

I don't know if this is a big thing here but there are lot of YouTube videos on it. Many look staged but the question is the legality of what is a form of booby trap. Most are glitter bombs and cleaning the car interior would be hard. The blue foam is amusing to watch but not if the person...

If you think you're getting screwed by bad decisions, the used RV market has slammed the back-to-the-land types on the west coast USA. During Covid used prices tripled from $4K to $12K but if you lived in the thing, the numbers worked. Now the numbers have changed and the prices have gone back...

My new modem seems to be doing the CP rotating strike thing. My provider sent a new one a month ago when the decade old one started doing the same thing, acting like it was overheating. For some reason they prefer the client not supply their own modem but since they're not that expensive, I'd...

"We are experiencing a high volume of calls but your call is important to us....blah, blah, blah." Now listen to the crappy music or worse, ads you can't escape from without losing your place in line. They aren't experiencing a high volume of calls. They are understaffed and it's more...

Re https://www.gtamotorcycle.com/xf/threads/oro-hwy-11-and-line-15-rip.233603/ If you chase someone with a knife and kill them, is it murder or manslaughter? My impression is that murder meant the intention was to kill. Manslaughter resulting in death would be only meaning to hurt but the...

Needing to waste brain and shop time I decided to cast a small part. It's actually a part for a bicycle but I don't know if there are any motorcycle parts that would benefit from my first time experience. Part 1 was to make a plug for the oximeter holder from body filler. I taped the body of...

Is 174 PSI a problem? https://www.costco.ca/fanttik-k100-flip-portable-cordless-electric-sprayer%2C-foldable-pressure-washer.product.4000333732.html

I have a little bug with our 2018 Sante Fe and the dealer I use has a head in the sand attitude. Can anyone recommend a dealer. I'm west Toronto and don't mind a drive.

Every pilot with a YouTube channel is speculating on the event. One survivor. It seems that both fuel valves were shut off a few seconds after takeoff. The switches are designed so they can't accidentally be bumped off. Any conspiracy theorists?

A video of Carney announcing an income platform where $355 invested gets you $4,000 a month. AI is getting better but his head still jerks around too much. Too bad it isn't real. At one gets you ten, a couple of billion could eliminate the national debt in a few years. I tried a link, but it...

I, along with a friend, am looking for a mini lathe better than the Busy Bee, HF, PA ones. My BB one is ok for hobby stuff but still a PITA. My friend needs one on his service van and while I could go up a size to get better quality, he doesn't have that option. I've lost the link to a...

If in doubt, Google the above and it's a quick clicky clicky to find out when your vehicle plate is due for renewal. You can also sign up for reminders. A friend was in a crash, not his fault, and got a $300 ticket because he hadn't renewed. I don't know the details but he's also being sued...

At twice the price, do AGMs last twice as long or just twice as well.

Three tubes of gas welding rods. Pick up near Bloor / 427

I haven't been in ages and might go. My image needs some cheap leather, not gear quality.
