Waiting for answers is awful. A friend died on vacation down south. He was healthy and ~40 and went from stomach pain to dead in 48 hours. His wife had to wait something like four months to get the body out and more than a year for the autopsy. Autopsy was inconclusive and had some very...

This appears to be a decent study on immigration. 20% leave again and never return. Most likely to leave are economic migrants and francophones. Those are some of jt's core groups to import...

That's about right. Like most other companies, they have way too many sku's. They should only have a couple models.

He seems to have found a nice place to ride. All of those other guys just increased the odds of wasting the day pulling someone out of the ditch.

Sadly like ServiceOntario, your answer is probably different from every person you talk to. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, hopefully they were underpromising and overdelivering as maybe cleanup is something they try to do given time and effort constraints but the frontline cop has no say...

How low is your car? My jack needs ~3". I think at one point I had a flat and that was too much but thankfully I was on a gravel driveway and I could dig a trench for the jack to slide under.

That would be nice. I don't know if any insurance company in Ontario allows that anymore. Without liability on every bike, they don't want it on a policy.

And then we question why things cost so much. It's a concrete cube. Just start again for far less money and better function. That should have been an easy cut from the wishlist.

Quickjack is probably slower if they are leaning against the wall. If you left them on the floor and could just drive over them and lift, they should be faster. Front pinch weld and run the jack all the way up and the whole side should be up on the gti. EDIT: I use an aluminum quick lift jack...

If we had to permanently stop work tomorrow, we'd sell the house and move to a small house in the boonies and be ok. Barring a significant cash injection (eg inheritance or life insurance), the cashflow math doesn't work. Money for retirement needs to grow more before draws start (selling house...

I think @Mad Mike has a decent solution. Lots of bikes in the stable but only the current one you are riding insured. His broker lets him switch more often than most would.

Chicago nail. As it went way up, it is likely falling at terminal velocity not at fired bullet speeds though. 150-250 fps is a lot less damaging than 900-1300 fps. They often remain proud on a shingled roof.

The Ottawa budget balances itself. I assume NCC spends freely on any whim. Toronto can't siphon off as much easily.

Part of it is related to the scope of work they draw up. So much BS built into most of them. If you streamlined the rfp and limited scope to what was actually required instead of every item on the cya list and wishlist, prices could be far lower and results would be similar. EDIT: Can't easily...

There is a bunch of smoke around the numbers they used for the last cut. Apparently the gdp numbers were all wrong and revised after the cut. At this point, it's blind monkeys playing darts with the team captain being Alfred E Neuman aka JT.

Amazon reviews are faked? :surprised Pikachu face: While I look through reviews, it is easy to see how many are garbage. The vine program is the worst. Get sent free stuff to review. If you give it less than five stars, you are out of the program. Garbage. I don't even bother reading vine...

I saw a clip from some rapper (maybe fat Joe?) who was flying private a lot. Want a sandwich, take the plane. Concert, take the plane. And on and on. Charter operator put him on monthly billing. First month was $600k. Big wakeup call. Pay the bill and stop flying private. Good for him for...

Billions. We would be lucky if millions was the cost of his ineptitude.

Crash at just ~1:05 in video. Hauling ass through a red. Just in front of them was an SUV that made it. Were they a team or enemies? All dirtbags. https://toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/11/18/video-captures-ttc-bus-being-slammed-by-a-stolen-vehicle/ EDIT: Just crash video...

Shapes and sizes is easy for cp to solve. "If you want to get the special flyer rate, here's the size. You get to pick the number of pages."
