What's the test like? I've heard wildly ranging stories, from "it feels like a Q-Tip in your nose for a brief moment" to "it was so uncomfortable I thought I was gonna vomit".

Sure, but the time for worrying about that was in May. Now it's basically out of control down there and the virus will run its course. South Dakota never had a lockdown, by the way. And last I checked, the border is still closed. This whole thread just reeks of GTAM getting riled up about...

Imagine getting this worked up over people in another country whose actions have 0 impact on your day-to-day life

Because in the time it takes to "scoop a cop" the social worker could already be dead. Nailed it. The vast majority of homeless people you see on the streets of downtown TO ought to be institutionalized. It would also help if we institutionalized the habitual druggies/junkies, at least...

You need to try other insurance companies that don't go by CC's alone and look at the class of bike instead. Desjardin or Dalton Timmis (now NFP) are good starting points.

I wonder if he was part of a later group -- around 8:40 tonight at Queensway/Islington there were ~20 stunters, not a single plate to go around. They slowed down traffic and did their usual shenanigans until they roared up South Kingsway.

Transmission is definitely a weak spot, keep it cool and full of fresh fluid -- a bigger cooler helps with this. The V8 engines are pretty solid, the 5.3 is preferable. Brake lines are known to be an issue too, check for rusty ones as they like to corrode and then just explode. ABS had some...

Even the "school zone" argument doesn't always hold true. When people think "school zone" they think of a smaller two lane street in a really residential area, with a big bustling school close to the sidewalk. Some of the school zones that have these cameras are just pure money making...

You could make the argument that some of the Bush disasters started with Clinton: total failure of the intelligence community largely under Clinton to prevent the rise of Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden, also Clinton repealed Glass–Steagall which played a large role in the 2008 meltdown. Not letting Bush...

True but those positions along with directorships are limited. If you're smart enough to be a successful lawyer/engineer/doctor/business owner/tradesman (i.e. the types of people you'd want running the government) then you won't be looking to land a cushy job for the pension -- you'd be looking...

Not to mention the pay is pitiful compared to what a smart professional could earn in the real world.

US gun stores can't sell guns in the non-residents. Sure there might be a few disreputable FFL's kicking around, but by and large most stores won't do it. The guns smuggled into Canada were likely already straw purchased in the US, then sold to the Canadian smuggler who brings it across the...

ITT Authoritarians upset not everyone is abiding by their personal interpretation of the government's "lockdown". Goofs gathering in large groups and publicizing it. There is a middle ground, use your head and find it.

Last mile logistics are the most important, yet most expensive and complicated to coordinate. Even a highly technical + advanced company like Amazon is going to struggle if their demand surges 200%. Add to the fact that delivery contractors may struggle in procuring vans (rental companies not...

It definitely happens in Canada too and it's a symptom of the political party apparatus adopting a life of its own, thus becoming too large and out of touch with voting interests. In the US it's exacerbated by their coupling of corporate interests into the political machine. It's actually quite...

I wouldn't count on it. The Democrats have yet again picked a terrible candidate, have you heard Joe Biden speak? I think he's starting to lose his marbles, he makes even Trump look coherent. The debates are going to be a gong-show.

Fake news: False claims on patents fuel novel coronavirus conspiracy theories online

I'm not so sure university even teaches you that these days. I graduated university ~3 years ago (STEM program), and it was basically a glorified high school where most students were treated like children, and a lot of the students acted accordingly. Ideally critical thinking should (and used...

I think it's a personal choice, and there is a balance to be struck. Shaming people isn't going to lead to anything. There is nothing wrong with well planned, short, solo jaunts just to get fresh air. Of course I am also advocating a high degree of caution -- ATGATT, be on high alert, ride...

I'm looking to get a new or gently used (haven't decided) bike over the winter, when do most dealerships have good sales/try to liquidate old inventory?
