    New Scam

    I heard about one on the radio this morning and a colleague in my office already had someone attempt it on them. Selling a vehicle on FB Marketplace, Potential buyer wants a car history but says carfax isn't good enough and asks for a report from a different site where they steal your credit...

    Getting old sucks...

    On top of everything already mentioned, my Dad always tells me to drink more water.

    Help shopping for skis

    I just bought a pair new. I used google shopping search as it let me cross-shop all the vendors. There are still great deals on clearance at may places for last years models but finding the right size can be difficult. Again with google shopping search I was able to quickly check the sizes...

    I agree with everything here except my opinion has gone up a notch (just one) +I liked that part about needing to focus on supply rather then more demand. I've never taken an economics class but this seems obvious. At least someone is saying it to the government. +I like that our economic...

    I would agree that that is part of the problem but I believe they were also involved in Justin's IOUs

    900,000 students coming in…

    Yes, but they are able to get other funding because their children have a disability. My in-laws put alot into not working for money. My wife's grandma took care of her finances when we first met. She was working full time/ about to go back to university + getting monthly cheques because her...

    Don't forget the autism bonus. (If you neglect your kids and they act out of control then you get a bonus)

    900,000 students coming in…

    Nothing new. My sister in-law has been on welfare 99.9% of her life. I got her husband a job with me years ago. Unfortunately it cut into her welfare check and there wasn't anyone around to help her with all of the kids. Better off having him paint cars under the table. After the pandemic she...

    900,000 students coming in…

    Max Bernier said that he would limit it to 250,000 when numbers were at 300,000. He was immediately turned into Mad Max the white supremacist racist. Listening to him in the French debate he was actually really good. I couldn't imagine trying to be politically correct in a second language...

    California - Pacific Coast Highway

    Going into San Fran from the south there is a road that follows the top of the mountains so that you can see the bay on one side and the ocean on the other. There are some large trees and twisties on the way up. I did it on a fully loaded roadglide 2up no problem and you are far more experienced...

    Philosophical questions

    If done by the dealer, stock parts are saved and then sold later at swap meets. If done at home then they sit on the shelf forever. The supply/demand for stock HD pipes is not great for sellers. I may try to get $50 one day for my full sportster or Dyna exhausts.

    Elon is killing it

    I know lots of rich kids who don't become Elon Musk. Lots of rich people invested in companies and failed. He's an excellent salesman/conman but there are lots of those too. He didn't personally design the cars but I don't think Steve Jobs was personally soldering circuit boards or coding...

    Emissions and the car industry

    Fun Fact: The original 2008 Camero was too pointy for Europe. A new mold was created specifically for Europe that was slightly less pointy. Before the European camero launched, one of our nightshift workers bypassed something on a molding machine and destroyed the camero mold. GM worked with us...

    Long Term Care

    I personally am not a fan of other people so communal living is a no go. I have never had a neighbor that I liked anywhere I've lived. They hand out dilaudid to homeless people now. As it stands I think that I would rather be blissfully numb, camping on the shores of little lake over LTC or...

    Long Term Care

    Long term care (and hospitals) are in significantly worse shape now then before the pandemic. The staffing shortages are constant even without illnesses going around. The staff is far less experienced due to retirements or switching areas of work. If the pandemic hit now the way it did 3 years...

    When I was looking it up yesterday the initial investment includes a bullet proof room and I think some kind of safe as well as security system (and signage, office furnature,etc) Realistically I'll sit here at my desk on gtamotorcycle for the next 10-15 years but it seemed like a good time to...

    DoFo

    EV sales have already plateaued. Either way I don't see Canada or the US being able to compete with Asia due to costs and regulations. The company I work for is ready to pull the plug on a $35m battery assembly facility due to commercial viability. Ford (cars) just paused work on a battery plant...

    DoFo

    My personal perspective: They say that they will be building batteries in 2025. You often can't build a house in Ontario in 2 yrs. Who's going to staff this mining operation hours North of any roads or small towns in Ontario? We can't find workers in Peterborough. Not to mention the time needed...

    What's everyone's thoughts on opening a Money Mart franchise? Beyond the morality reasons. Some googling shows it's pretty cheep to open a payday loan franchise but also I see some articles that are nearly 10 years old saying government regulations has made the industry a lot riskier from a...
