HOV can create an oddity. Technically it is not the "fast"/passing lane the regular far left lane is. But now MANY people driving in the left lane think they are not in the passing lane as there is a lane to their left, so they plod along. The HOV itself is not intended as a passing lane...

One of the main issues is they don't address the internal "misconduct" (fired, not fired...) until after the criminal court case so they get a long term paid vacation until the court case and most (that know they are guilty) will delay that for as long as they can via legal wrangling, extending...

L'ORO sells Hamilton. They have a store in Markville Mall, check ahead if they have the watch(es) you are looking for at that location. They are responsive to inventory requests/inquires and will also hold a model for you. L'ORO CF Markville | LORO

The chief's have ability to suspend without pay now (2024) BUT going back to 2018 there was a bill put forward to also do this, Doug at the time called it “most anti-police legislation in Canadian history.”

I was thinking more in reference (as an alternative) to tunnelling under the 401... 413 would be cheaper than buying the 407 but my guess it will do little for 401 congestion.

How about just buying back the 407 and make it free? It HAS to be cheaper than this, it also has room for lane expansion....

You can always replace the switch with a lighted one.... https://www.homedepot.ca/product/leviton-illuminated-single-pole-toggle-switch-15a-120v-in-clear/1001705980

The Etobicoke Bloor lanes are the ones that have everybody raging these days... Before they existed there was near nothing in Etobicoke between Lakeshore and Eglington going east-west, that is a huge gap. There were some side streets listed as "bike friendly" but they were piecemeal as they do...

For commercial planes the owners/operators may not want them as they are additional points of failure that need to be maintained. Not mandatory, don't expect them to maintain them (so they become useless). Mandatory, plane is out of service ($$$s) because a camera is down. Cheaper to pay...

Wired Smoke/CO Alarms That Do Not Suck? I installed eight First Alert combo hardwired smoke/CO alarms and in a couple of years half have failed. Constant fire false alarms and/or they keep beeping that the battery is bad, even with new batteries (and being hardwired shouldn't use the batteries...

Does it come with a 120v charger? Given the shortish range it is likely a daily viable charging time option and could be a "plus" (or better put enough...) for anyone that does not or cannot wire in a 240v charger?

Add me as another to the I mostly hate Pearson/YYZ crowd. As someone that does not drive there often if I have to pick up or drop off the roads/ramps make me crazy. It make little sense IMO and with a missing terminal 2 (one of the reasons) more times than not expletives fly when if I miss a...

A friend of mine it was sherry that set off his gout. If he drank sherry, boom painful gout. But also any whiskey aged in sherry barrels would set it off. Now I am sure it was more than just sherry but he is a regular (in volume) whiskey and beer drinker. So maybe wine, port, brandy or something...

For resale (compared to new), most well known brands--not all (at any place of the spectrum, not just luxury) in decent shape I usually expect to get 1/3 to 1/2 selling used even years on if it is in good shape and not an odd undesirable model. But 1/2 could be the day after you bought it and...

Another Miyota powered (for the automatics) microbrand and there is nothing wrong with that, if you like the style and value. Looks like you may be able to save a few bucks buying in the US if you can avoid duty. Like @GreyGhost noted, consider it a sunk cost or what I would call a terminal...

CHCH has the old 1960s Avengers TV show on at noon. Today's episode was Dial a Deadly Number and part of the plot was using pagers to kill people (not exploding, instead a needle).

AFAIK the fad has faded and there is no scarcity at retail. Still a high price retail. I think there was a couple more "special" additions.

2013, same year as Rush (Hunt and Lauda). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_%26_Mongoose

lol, originally posted in the wrong thread. Snake & Mongoose Drag racing version of Rush or Ford vs Ferrari, I did enjoy it. Direct to video quality with TV people in the main parts. The beginning was odd as they kind of started with some background--but did not spend enough time on it...

Yes, lol. I was wondering why I could not find my post in the movie thread.... apparently user error.
