  1. Watched it at the neighbors. Dana was doing a pretty good Vince McMahon impression with some of it. Still, kept me pretty entertained I suppose.
  2. Screw that. Our has ran a lot already this year. With a two story, I wouldn’t go without it.
  3. I never even heard about this case until today. Has Trudeau and the justice minister tweeted their support to the dead man's family yet?
  4. Ft Mac'ers could get into that kind of coin, but it wouldn't be no cushy gig. Lots of hours for sure.
  5. I looked this up before. The US produces 85% of the steel it consumes. Of the 15% they import, China was a 2% bit player. I looked Canada's stats and only 10% of our total steel imports come from China. ie: a drop in the bucket compared to the US market. Therefore, there is literally next to nothing for Chinese steel that could possibly be funneled through Canada to the US. The US may be getting fucked in some trade practices, but steel is a piss poor example of it.
  6. If it ever get's built at all. Remember, it's now under control of a political, virtue signaling, environmental zealot. It could very well get delayed and then cancelled eventually. I'm 50/50 on that scenario.
  7. It's a friggen disaster on about a dozen fronts. Sadly, it was the only option left after being bungled so badly by Government. and I'm still pretty skeptical it will get built, certainly in any near time frame.
  8. Wasn't sure if they geo blocked it or not.
  9. How could you cheer for that raging CUNT Schumacher?!?!!?!?!!? Hate to speak ill of the guy now, but back then, man did I hate that guy.
  10. I'd be shitting my pants trying to push a shifter cart hard through the course, never mind the fastest cars in the world. With it being a street course, the pavement is quite a bit more slippery than a closed track surface. I think a lot of it is image. Monaco is home to the absolute richest of the rich and F1 wants to put out the narrative that they are the pinnacle of all sport.
  11. I walked a bit of the Monaco track years ago. Holy hell, TV doesn't do justice to how tight the track is.
  12. So what? If we were being competitive, the companies on the TSX would be seeing similar growth to companies in other countries. We are lagging, and badly so since the end of 2016.
  13. The TSX performance has been pretty dismal in comparison to pretty much every other index.
  14. Yeah. The road itself isn't bad, just really long grades to pull and brake going down. No big deal in the summer if you have a good rig. Winter is a different story though.
  15. I can just imagine my wife screaming bloody murder at me as the pots and pans are flying around in the back. I was generally impressed with how my Bro's Ford V10 motorhome climbed the Coquihalla. Just chugged it's way up pretty effortlessly, I passed a ton of pickups pulling trailers.
  16. Just wondering if you bought from the Oak Center or whatever they call the RV place here in town. I've never gone in, but they sure seem to have a shitload of RV's there.
  17. Did you change your last name to cologne?????
  18. My Uncle just put a $17,000 dollar long block in his Dodge.
  19. Ford pays for a loaner if a truck is in for warranty work. They give me another pickup if I want one.
  20. You spend a ton of time reading granola muncher propaganda websites and then run around claiming them to be absolute fact or what? You are making yourself look pretty gullible. As far as solar goes, terrific that the costs are coming down, although don't think for a second that the figures stated in the OP aren't skewed in favor of solar. Fact of the matter is, solar could not constitute more than 10 or 15% of our current grid generation without causing major reliability issues. Technology has yet to be developed to address the inconsistent nature of renewables or we will need to get used to 3 world country esque random rolling power outages. Right now, forcing the shut down of reliable base load generation like coal and NG in favor of renewables is not smart policy. Ontario's power system fiasco is pretty much the poster child example for doing this.
  21. Had an iP 8 since last fall. Good battery performance and it does everything I need. It just works.
  22. Do you think Cali even allows DIY? If the Gov mandates you have it, why not mandate that it's installed by one of the companies that are one of their favorite political contributors? No, people spend money on all kinds of things that have negative ROI every day. Pool, hot tubs, home automation, you name it. That's because the WANT it and it's their choice. By mandating something like solar installations, they are ramming higher costs and pain in the ass factor right down your throat. So who's the cuck again?
