I needed a vacuum pump for an experiment and didn't feel like spending a lot of money. Then I noticed an old tire inflator and figured if it pumped air out it had to suck it in. I made an adapter that bolted over the intake sealed with a dab of silicone. I messed up a bit as I destroyed the...

Away from the doom and gloom, housing and drug issues. A high school in the USA recognized not everyone likes gym and the competitive atmosphere but gym was mandatory for graduation. Students can get their gym credits by doing chores for seniors and disadvantaged people. Lawn mowing 101 has its...

I'm watching the California game play out and it's developing unintented consequences. SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Lost in the hubbub surrounding California’s new $20-per-hour minimum wage for fast food workers is how that raise could impact public schools, forcing districts to compete with the...

I've seen the Elon Musk one where AI has his pitch guaranteeing floodgates of money. Then a Justin Trudeau one where the government guarantees your investment and fabulous returns. AI again. The latest was Kevin O'Leary saying he was putting up $2 Billion to guarantee his get rich quick scam...

The ship apparently lost power and hit the bridge supports. The rest of the structure went down like a house of cards. Six MIA last I heard. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2024/mar/26/moment-bridge-collapses-in-baltimore-after-cargo-ship-collision-video Traffic will be chaos for the...

I don't know if the rain tax has been mentioned. If not here's the primer. https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/kinsella-torontos-overlords-pondering-implementation-of-a-rain-tax The hard surface would theoretically hit a 1000 Square foot bungalow at the same rate as a 3000 square foot...

The GPS is a phenomenal device but has a major problem with long term scope of a trip. Maps are superior for an overall view of a trip but clumsy even when parked. Is this the answer? I'm heading over to CAA for a couple of free maps.

According to a YouTube video a couple was scammed out of $100 000 plus by an Elon Musk get rich scheme that was AI generated. It seemed well planned as they took their time grooming the pair to avoid spooking them while figuring out the maximum take. I recall seeing part of the video and while...

What happens when we lose faith in our leaders? That includes family, church, financial, military, business and political leaders. Are we more susceptible to self appointed leaders that we figure couldn't be worse. Aided by the internet and social media, little Hitlers and Jim Jones types use...

Fraud is a despicable crime. It targets the weak and they are often to ashamed to report the crime. I have a problem in that a friend has specifically told me to keep my nose out of his situation. Unfortunately he is dyslexic and goes in circles with paperwork. While he knows he's dyslexic he...

Kudos to his son, claiming his father was worse than Epstein, Cosby and Weinstein put together.

The no fault system as we know it is screwing car owners. While we make noise about ALL the bad drivers, in reality most aren't that evil and would benefit from fair treatment by insurers. 1) Bring in diminished value coverage. If your never before damaged car is damaged by a bad driver you...

A senior citizen kills two bikers and has now been charged with two counts of careless driving causing death. The punishment will be a pittance. How can we use this tragedy to stop the carnage? Executing the senior wouldn't change a lot and could make things worse due to unintended...

If there was to be an intelligent discussion on the subject it should have happened 50+ years ago. Our medical system was in chaos and Covid blew it open. It is still in chaos but we are getting used to it like we get used to hour long commutes that should be 30 minutes. We found out that LTC...
