I don't want PTZ for most cameras. I want them aimed properly and fixed. I don't want to look at something and forget and leave the camera zoomed in and pointed at a fence. The cameras I have up now are an inconspicuous as possible at the expense of not ideal coverage. I put cameras the colour...

Brakes all around, a brake fluid flush and snows on my wife's car today. What a pain in the ass. Fighting me every step of the way.

It has separate airflows for exhaust and heated air. Most people install it inside and run exhaust out through a flexible line (something like 3/4" line). Iirc some people install outside and duct the heated air. I think you need to provide some weather protection in scenario two as they aren't...

Isn't it on Netflix? Edit: Yup

In my machine shop days we had a metal bin vacuum and it was used only for metal/grinding and ended up with some water based coolant mixed in. Hoses didn't last all that long but insignificant risk of fire.

Just think about the joy you'll get when you have a mailbox jammed right full of magazines (and crap you don't want). Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that drivel. We have at least three posties on GTAM.

You also have a self-selection problem. Many of the buyers are entitled twats. Add in "full self-driving" and they are definitely playing on their phones while driving. It would be interesting to see stats over time as BMW and audi may becoming "safer" as more of the ********** move to Tesla...

IIRC, I have close to 400 watts of LED's on the switch. Separately switched, there is also 250 watts or so on the bottom of the shelf above the garage doors (makes it nice to work on car engines), another 100 watts above the ski sharpening bench and 50 watts or so on the workbench. All that and...

I'm not expecting them to clear headlights because it's the right thing to do. Once the headlights get so blocked you can't see wtf is going on, they may hop out and look at the front like a confused monkey scratching their head.

I am not at all concerned about four or six showing up. She has a history of running. Once the cuffs are on "Ok rob, you got it? I need to go back to work." Leave a couple to do paperwork and get the car towed.

I count at least four and maybe six cops standing around after a single old lady was taken into custody (after an incident in which it sounds like there were no injuries). I'm glad they finally got her but a bunch of them would be more effective elsewhere after the cuffs are on.

The last time I was on a bicycle in toronto, a bike lane was a little paint or at best a silly speed hump thing that acted as an edge trap for bikes and cars just drove over anyway. Everyone is better off when those stupid solutions are removed from major roads.

I would hope Douggie would leave those for phase two of screw the bikes (which only gets implemented if phase one is a success). At least those are decent bike lanes. He probably won't though.

Look for pictures of beds you like and then you can spin up a quick BOM to figure how much materials would be. JYSK has twin/twin bunk bed with storage for <$1000. I think it is below ikea quality though. EDIT: Another option is to build two identical four post beds and stack them. Fat dowel...

Barrie police finally got the parking lot crasher. It was at least the third incident in two days with her. She barricaded herself in the car and they dragged her out. Hopefully they have a good mechanism to keep her car in jail as she obviously is not concerned about laws or crashing given the...

What's the budget and how pretty do you want it? You can make strong but homely furniture out of 2x4's. With a little thought, you can even make them look interesting and most people won't realize what it is. I am partial to ripping 45's off each side of a 2x4 and fastening a pair of those back...

I assume the gross number advertisers pay for flyers is pretty large. I don't think the economics work though. @Evoex and others know better but IIRC postie gets a portion of a cent per flyer. If handling and delivering them was time based instead of piecework, I suspect it would be at least an...

I hate giftcards. Way too many horror stories (either straight-up fraud and the card is empty or the retailer bails). "Here is a $100 bill to spend at xxx".

My wife and I mostly try to get/give experiences as presents. We have enough crap. For nieces/nephews, that is often paying for lift tickets and teaching them to ski or bringing them to wonderland or . . . . For cool presents, I have gotten my brother a beautiful vintage hunting knife and found...

Sadly I think this will be more akin to WWF than boxing. I think everybody tuning in wants to see Tyson beat up Paul. Paul is getting double the money (and if I heard correctly is the producer/promoter). I don't like WWF and don't plan on watching this. Maybe hilites tomorrow to see some good...
