    Why you can't trust peripheral vision ...yours other the other guy

    The picture on post #1 is not about peripheral vision, since you are looking right at the picture. It's about a blind spot in the eye where the optic nerve connects. The lesson is the same, though. You have to rotate your head back and forth esp. if you are only looking with one eye (e.g...

    Age discrimination and severance

    terminated at age 30 is earlier than people on this forum had in mind, I think. Which highiights the problem - "too old" is only for people older than me and who are in way of my advancement.

    Age discrimination and severance

    I don't think we are designed to retire, any more than we should stop exercising. Work makes us happy. When the original age 65 retirement age was set up, that was about people's lifespan. Retirement is something you're supposed to want to do, but unless you are really miserable in your job...

    Age discrimination and severance

    TD Insurance rate hikes?

    FYI if you cancel TD (Meloche) after the automatic renewal, you get penalized. If you cancel before the automatic renewal (to shop around) and then later apply to TD for a new policy - the rates may not be the same, and - (this is the biggie) you lose all your years of riding experience for the...

    Failing to stop

    Well exactly. Sometimes that just means you saw his plate long before trying to stop him. Then it doesn't matter how fast he runs.

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

    Re: Toronto Cop causes accident Pretty straightforward. It's the guy who hit from behind who is at fault. If I hallucinate a bear in the middle of the road and slam on my brakes, the guy behind me is at fault - bear or no bear.

    air guns for self defense - legal?

    About the Ian Thomson case in post #16, I don't get why you have to have your firearm 'properly stored' if you're home? Suppose I feel like running barefoot over them, can't I? Why can't I sleep with them? About evidence of your perception of the threat, I have it on good advice to dump into...
