To know that you would first have to know how many people break the law with respect to plates. Annual inspections, anyone? Simple question: What is the purpose of hiding a plate, which is against the HTA, if not to break the law? You can have a "clean" looking bike without obscuring the plate...

It could also be mannerisms. I got in a collision a few years ago. Hit a truck from behind. During the discussion about fault (all mine, I freely admitted), he asked me if I was in the military*. My speech patterns and saying "Yes, Sir. No, Sir" must have given him that impression. Again, no...

I had a similar experience with OPP, north of Lindsay. He said, "Thanks for stopping. I didn't think that you would." Got a warning, only, for a truly ridiculous speed.

OK, that cop is wrong for making assumptions that the rider would run, before even contacting him. With that said, I'm tired of people who have "runner plates" (my term). The place where the plate is mounted, from the factory, is the only position that you can be sure is legal. That plate...

In the Netflix series he always had trouble with doing what he did, because of the Irish Catholic guilt. He wanted justice, but had difficulty reconciling the sins that he committed to obtain it.

I also finished it up, last night. A good description that someone made, on another forum, was that it didn't know if it wanted to be a continuation of the original, or an MCU show. Very good, but a little uneven. And the blood in the second to last episode was a bit over the top.

Currently doing a rewatch of "Trailer Park Boys" and suddenly realized that Treena Lahey, who appears in the first two seasons, was played by Elliot Page! How did I miss that before?

I was thinking the same, myself, about the vest hit.

Europe tends to treat adults as adults.

The sadly comical point is the redacted videos will still almost always have dire warnings about violence, etc..

These days media almost always ends or blurs video of this sort of thing. I almost never see unredacted video anywhere, anymore.

Yup, that sure looks like a gun.

At the time of release we hadn't seen any Star Trek since the animated series, in 1975, so it was more than welcome. They kind of overdid it, though, with what felt like 15 minutes of flying around the new Enterprise when I saw it in the theatre.

If I remember correctly one of the controversies, at the time, was that they swapped through multiple SFX companies during shooting. ILM is listed as primary, but it seems to me they were the final one used.

They sure do. On their colour corrected and light balanced editing rigs. Not on the sort of stuff where it will ultimately be played.

It does get better as the seasons go on. I'll disagree on the shadow detail though, at least in a recent episode. So many shows, these days, don't consider the medium they're using. There was a whole episode that was pretty much a wash for me because it mostly took place at night and I couldn't...

The new season of Doctor Who started last week.

This one was a bit too close to home. I left campus a couple of hours before this one. https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/04/15/4-pedestrians-injured-in-downtown-toronto-hit-and-run-say-police/ For the record, the Mandela walkway is what Victoria Street becomes, in the area where it's...

I doubt they have anything of the sort. In fact I would be more than a little surprised if they have anything approaching brakes. It looked sort of like this...

I almost saw someone on one of those stupid single-wheelers get taken out, in SEATAC, when he jumped the gun on an advanced turn signal. Pity I didn't get it on my travel dashcam.
