    Used Market Change?

    Yes, absolutely I can imagine that. It gets posted nearly daily to /r/justrolledintotheshop My personal opinion on pushing the limits on brake pads is if you are checking them yourself, and often, then do whatever you want.

    Used Market Change?

    Random spot checks? Surely it's logistically impossible that they're looking at all of them

    Used Market Change?

    Under the new system, with its enhanced documentation... Let's say you buy a vehicle and find cause to believe it should not have passed the safety inspection it received. Is it any easier to "contest" the inspection? Does a vehicle owner have any kind of access to the documentation, or is it...

    Trump Guilty

    Neither. It's telling him what he wants to hear

    I don't think it's posturing at all. I don't believe he understands or cares what the impact of the tariff will be on either side, he just thinks tariff is "the most beautiful word in the dictionary". He continually re-iterates that Americans won't bear the cost, that the cost lands on the...

    Trump Guilty

    This was generally expected to happen. Furthermore, assuming Trump survives his second term as president, I would expect his administration to have a durable enough impact on the federal justice system that it will be extremely unlikely he will be investigated for anything he does during the...

    Anyone do the laser eye thing?

    New eyeballs? Edit: I am being "funny", this is from Minority Report but if you're not already familiar with the scene maybe don't watch it if you are actually having surgery. I was a little unsure what "full Monty" meant in this context. Are you getting IOLs?

    Helmet Recall

    The way this is being presented is a little weird. "FMVSS No. 218" is the DOT standard, therefore you would wonder shouldn't this be an immediate problem in the USA as well? The answer is that the manufacturer recalled these in the US 3 months ago: Home | NHTSA

    Best way to get started riding track?

    It depends on the fine print. E.g. when I did FAST some years agos, there were two levels of insurance. Let's say one had the deductible of $2000, and the other $500. However, they stressed it was a true deductible i.e. if the cost of the repairs was less than the deductible, then that's all...

    Best way to get started riding track?

    It has been more than a hot minute since I did FAST Phase 1 & 2 (Michel Mercier was still teaching) but I had so much fun doing it. I rented gear & a bike, and was completely happy with both. I think the only thing I regretted about the whole experience was a questionable ham sandwich from the...

    GST/HST Holiday

    Beer, videogames, and snacks? AND they're sending me a cheque to pay for it? Oh boy. I'll bet the call from EKOS Research comes on the same day the cheque does

    Does the car you drive...

    At the end of the day it does represent a choice. Trucks can be an odd segment, because the "small" market is underserved, being unattractive for manufacturers to actually make them. It's not "exciting" but people want them exactly for what they are - utilitarian, reliable. You got what they...

    e-sim recommendation

    Companies like Airalo negotiate deals with various existing carriers. I'm not sure what term applies for them, MVNO doesn't seem appropriate, but it would make sense to me that the deals would be for a limited amount of licenses and that they would have to re-up their agreements continually. The...

    Motor Vehicle Fitness Certificates

    Right, I was just thinking about another layer. To "help" Parsons, since they had trouble meeting demand for the first rollout.

    Motor Vehicle Fitness Certificates

    If this was rolled out January 2025 that would be an unprecedented success by the Ontario government. Although if I put my cynical hat on for a moment, Doug has established a pattern with "allying" with large private franchises to make things appear successful. Imagine say, all Canadian Tires...

    I presume you mean travel eSIM, i.e. you are not looking for a new domestic cellular provider?
