    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    Don't be talking up China. They *have* threatened us over Arctic sovereignty. What they've done with bullying Thailand and Japan, jailing political critics, surveilling and using social credit to demoralise their society, spying and stealing IP; utilising slavery... I won't hear of any...

    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    All other things aside.... Trump was democratically elected.

    Supplements - anyone taking

    That's not how it works. At all. More likely he was taking something you didn't know about, or if his blood really was diluted then it was the opposite of taking mass drinks that caused it. Blood thickens with food intake and even vasodilators like l-citrulline just open the blood vessels...

    Supplements - anyone taking

    Nope. Most people assume that steroids work for everyone and they don't. Genetics plays a huge role. Supplements not so much - in my opinion the only supplements that are really worth it are: * caffeine for its effects on energy and minor role in raising metabolism * ephedrine for increasing...

    Supplements - anyone taking

    Creatine is the most studied and proven to be most beneficial of the dietary supplements. It's definitely not a drug, it isn't toxic and side effects are very slight. If you take creatine, you need to drink more water, and that's because it helps your cells recharge their energy and store...

    Supplements - anyone taking

    Fixed my janky shoulder in weeks. YMMV. Some people don't respond to it well, I apparently responded to it with a vengeance.

    Wait until retatrutide becomes the norm, along with peptides that simulate body hormones that grow skeletal muscle and raise metabolism (they're coming fast, probably two years) using the same chemical signals that working out does. Reta is a GLP3 agonist - GLP1, GIP, Glucagon. And it makes...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Why should they be given any leniency, when your average person would be saddled with a criminal record, massive expenses, possible jail time and a future of restricted travel?

    Carney drops tariffs to 6.9% on Chinese EVs

    I think it will be the opposite. This is China we are talking about. They'd love to step on our auto sector.

    Restaurants

    At the last gig I did, I had two pints of "guinness" - or whatever that is that they call guinness in Canada - and it was $25 with not quite 20% tip. Jeebuz wept. The best part is that I absent-mindedly set one of them on my bass cabinet just as we went to play "Radar Love" and of course about...

    Damn, a lot of bass ballers around here. I've got a fairly simple rig, that I use both here at home for practice and also at my gigs. Heads: Mark Bass Little Mark III for gigs & at home, Mark Bass F1 Limited Edition for rehearsals. Cabinets: Mark Bass 400W 4Ohm 2x10 cabinet, Mark Bass 300W...

    2026 Rides

    Anyone that wants to come East from the GTA, I'm happy to meet anywhere North and West of Bancroft etc. and run a little ride through some great roads more local to me (depending on how far North). Warning: I don't ride dead on the signed speed and I avoid long straight roads. Happy to run...

    Christmas Whatcha Get Thread

    My first day of college in Sept. '87, they played Sneaker's Pub at St. Lawrence College (Kingston campus). Most of the songs they played were covers of the Who, Pink Floyd etc. and they were flogging a few newly minted songs for their upcoming release (Up To Here, 1989). I can't for the life...

    Christmas Whatcha Get Thread

    That's awesome. I get to see a few of them out and about in Kingston, my ex's brother was friends with Rob and his family. We played four covers of theirs last night at the Tir Nan Og downtown; I think we did them justice. Seeing people hang this kind of thing on their wall makes me wonder...

    I do all my own work

    Actually true. I've used that, soaked in oil, to reseal the bottom end of a two-stroke motor before. Not only held, but held for years.

    Honda bringing back the V-4 ?

    My RSV4 - the really good V4 - with stock gearing will do 144.5kph at 13,500 in first gear, and redline is 14,300. I say really good, because nothing sounds like them... roar, bark, gurgle, scream, they have a character all to themselves that the Ducati and Honda v4s just don't match. That...
