    RV & Trailer Discussion

    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...

    Modem issues.

    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...

    What's your time worth?

    "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...

    Murder vs manslaughter

    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...

    Casting Kindergarten

    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...

    Recommend good Hyundai dealer service

    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.

    Air India Crash

    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?

    Carney Scam, not political

    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...

    L F Quality mini lathe

    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...

    License plate renewal check

    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...

    Banks and credit cards

    I paid less than $10 total credit card interest in my life. I have redeemed about $5000 GM dollars under the GM/TD card and a bunch of gas discounts so them boosting the rates doesn't bother me other than the 19 pages of changes to terms and conditions. Included is the rate hike to 22%. My...

    Superbowl

    Where do they get tens of thousands of people to pay thousands for seats and blinding hotel costs? I don’t follow any particular team but cheer against the unethical ones. Or at least the ones getting caught being unethical. Chiefs and Eagles. Which one has nicer uniforms?

    LA Fires

    I don’t know LA but assume part of the city is heavily wooded. Those woods have caught fire and the fire department is having trouble keeping up. Evacuations are in panic mode with deaths reported. Well known celebrities are not immune

    New cell phone feature

    My most recent update installed a quick and easy feature to turn on record during a call. It does announce "This call is being recorded" and I think a regular beep. The concern being making an unwise comment that is later used against you. It's too easy to make an offhand remark with friends...

    Locked out of my Mac

    Just an old email account. I started a junk email with hotmail, using it for junk stuff. The problem is that I can't remember my password and the junk mail has built up to a sizable chunk of memory. They don't give any reset options. Any tips? Also the magnetic chare plug needs to be replaced...
