    Total eclipse - April 8 2024

    Drove from Barrie to Waterford this morning. Took the 400 to 401 and 24 South to avoid the traffic s**tshow on the QEW. Sky cleared up 25 minutes before totality. Totally awesome sight!!! Worth the drive to Waterford.

    Knives - What are you using in the kitchen??

    I bought this diamond plate based on this Youtube review. Works flawlessly. I've struggled over the years trying to get a sharp edge on knives and woodworking tools using Japanese water stones and Arkansas oil stones but with no great success. Totally different experience with this product...

    Some Service Ontario locations closing

    Peculiar that the government is moving towards a self-service kiosk-based solution when many retailers are moving away from self-serve checkouts, primarily because of fraud and theft as well as bad customer experience/feedback. Most self-serve lanes at retail locations have at least one staff on...

    Bad boy furniture bankrupt

    @Mad Mike , you're absolutely right with that advice. The probability a successful chargeback being processed in the favour of the cardholder depends on all those factors you mentioned -- card, issuer bank rules, card brand rules, country and sometimes merchant vertical. @GreyGhost 's question...

    Bad boy furniture bankrupt

    The issuing bank is on the hook to settle the cardholder's dispute, and then they work with the merchant's bank to settle the chargeback. Reference: Chargeback: Get Your Money Back When a Company Goes Bankrupt (Update: Travel-Agencies).

    Is there a special way to charge a lithium battery?

    If the charger used had no BMS to talk to the battery and this resulted, the bike's charging system is probably even dumber. So why doesn't this kind of battery damage happen on the bike?

    Post up your liquor/spirit talk ?

    I found a cocktail recipe about. a year ago. This was the 2015 Bacardi Legacy winning recipe and is now my favourite. It's called Father's Advice - 1 shot white rum - 1 tablespoon Amaro - 1 tablespoon sherry - 1 tablespoon vermouth - 1/2 tablespoon banana or similar cordial Shake with Ice and...

    Starter relay: I chose violence. It worked... but why?

    Well, you may challenge my explanation, but it's what happens. Read about it in any of the BMW K-bike forums. The starter relay has a pickup voltage (the minimum voltage needed to engage the relay and close the contacts) and dropout voltage (the minimum voltage required to keep the relay...

    Starter relay: I chose violence. It worked... but why?

    A common problem on older BMW K-bikes is a sticking starter relay which results in continuous cranking of the engine even if the ignition is turned off. The cause usually is a weak battery. The weakened battery is not quite strong enough to hold the starter relay closed and the relay chatters...

    Angled Tire Pressure Guage

    +1 Agreed. I have a Jaco Elite Digital and love it. It's calibration is traceable to ASME Grade 2A standard and accurate to +/- 0.5% full scale. Fits in tight places with its swivelling angled ball chuck, for instance on the front tire valve with brake disks and spokes in the way.

    Any Ebay savvy folk help with currency question

    Hi, UPDATE: I found the exact same switch on AliExpress for cheaper and ordered it from that store. Still would be interested in an answer to my question though. Hit a situation in Ebay that I haven't seen before. Need help. I've signed into eBay.ca with my ID and put a motorcycle switch...

    Bike won't start after winterizing

    Terminal voltage you're showing during cranking is too low. Yes, it is indicating a ruined battery. Confirm it by taking the battery to a Canadian Tire store and they will be able to load test it for free.

    What's the shelf life of conventional motor oil? 18L is enough for 5 years of oil changes.

    John Tory C'ya! Another Toronto Mayor bites the dust

    Bad choice John. I've been in an age-gap relationship and there are tons of issues to deal with. Doesn't end well, believe me.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Agreed, I love watching repair videos. Another couple of YT channels to watch in addition to above are Watch Repair Channel and Stefen Erich Pahlow. WRC is conversational, detailed and instructive, and he offers a course through his Patrion channel. Pahlow is an old school watch restorer. His...

    Jeff Beck, Lisa Marie Presley RIPs

    That's true. The vaccines were developed in record time without enough long term effect study. I received two injections at the beginning, and then on the third, my first booster, the vaccine triggered a dormant condition germaine to my DNA that caused polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). PMR...
