    Marathons, CN Tower climb, and other Charity Runs (RANT!)

    I used to donate to Sick Kids. Being helped with a tumor when I was very small, I felt that they had earned what money I could give. Then their foundation CEO got a $1.6M golden parachute. They now get NONE of my money. I also give very sparingly to who I do give to, but I am very generous with...

    Radar Detectors and Laser Jammer/Reflectors

    They cannot randomly search your vehicle unless they have reasonable grounds. REMEMBER THAT!! If they do have reasonable grounds, they would have to justify why the detector in that circumstance was material to the search. It is impossible for them to say "i had the belief based on his change...

    Radar Detectors and Laser Jammer/Reflectors

    I solved the RADAR issue by buying a can of Plasti-dip, and mixing it with iron pellets. This is basically how RAM on fighter jets is made. I sprayed the bike with is, nice and thick. It weighs 50lbs more now, but thats fine. Had a cop buddy test-read me with his radar and it wouldnt see me...

    Mormons-What's the deal with this group?

    I'm probably wrong, but I thought Christians weren't supposed to stone. That whole Jesus Christ saying "he who is without sin cast the first stone" kinda set the bar, no? Christians are supposed to be Christ like, thus emulate the example of Jesus. Old Testament is not Christianity. It is the...

    Ultralight Flying

    I was/am still wanting one of these: $35,000 for the kit, and very inexpensive to operate. Not as fast as some of the competition, or as pretty, but affordable! I have seen a few in person, and they are quite stoutly built. Best part, you can choose to operate on wheels, skis, or floats, as...

    Weedman woes.

    I've heard grubs can be treated with beer. My neighbour claimed this. Don't know how true it is, but his lawn was amazingly green. And grub free.

    Toronto Cyclists

    Ride to Conquer Cancer. I volunteer at that event, and I share your aggravation. The cyclists were taking over entire roads, including oncoming lanes. They couldn't seem to understand that the roads were not closed to the public, and they still had to share the road. As a person trying to...

    Why Android is better than iPhone.

    Just loaded Jellybean on my Galaxy Nexus. It is quite slick! Noticeably snappier, and smooooooother.

    Ultralight Flying

    Yes, all UL/AUL aircraft must bear a sign which says "this plane is flying without a certificate of airworthyness" or something to that effect. ps: good luck on heli! Its HELLA expensive! Hence, I am still grounded.

    Ultralight Flying

    Back when UL aircraft required no training, and no checkups, things went bad. Literally anything with wings could be flyable. TC fixed it by requiring training and a permit to fly, along with ground school. Still looks like the best way to just fly for cheap, but limits you to UL aircraft. The...

    Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

    Yes, and accused COULD go back and erase evidence, but that isn't really a concern, as if the cop had a justified reason to arrest the person with the camera, then the camera could be legitimately seized as evidence. The reality is, cops are already told to act like they are on camera at all...

    Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

    The cop, assuming that under Texas law you can be arrested for traffic violations, did nothing specifically wrong. Does anyone have a copy of the Texas MVA to verify? Oh and Fastar...Texas has legalized lane splitting :-)

    Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

    I didnt see the cops lose their tempers, nor did I see any assault. They were firm, for sure, but then person being arrested was a bit agitated and resisting (and rightfully so!) Cops want cameras in all cars. They have been begging for years, since they want the accusations of brutality to be...

    UPS : if I don't pay what happens

    I make use of a mail hold service, cbiusa.com . They will receive shipments under your name to their address and hold it until you pick it up. The cost is is $5.99/package for however long it takes you to get there, so if you have a few orders, you can wait until they are all there to do a...

    Alberta's new Drunk Driving Law

    The only reason this is an issue, is that they are dealing with a Criminal Code offence, which comes with the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise in a court of law. As such, it is unconstitutional to put an "indefinite" sentence onto any person facing this charge, who is not yet...

    Ultralight Flying

    OP, where and what kind of ultralight? I've been looking into learning on a Challenger, but I have been told over and over, that I am better off to buy the plane first, then take lessons. Any thoughts on that?

    How to escape poverty

    I believe the OP addressed that with their first line. The point is, we have a certain standard of living in this society. Things like internet are considered a necessity, and has often been talked about as being a "right" for all to have. Perhaps the better question would be to ask "can you...
