Hahaha  Great fight with good friends.  So glad to be a little part o of it.  Headed to Vagina town tomorrow.  Vegas has some pussy for sure.   

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.

Its not worth the 3gs here for maybe a couple weeks tops.

Screw that. Our has ran a lot already this year.  With a two story, I wouldn’t go without it.  

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?

Quite a few...last i worked in the factory was 09...but still.

Ft Mac'ers could get into that kind of coin, but it wouldn't be no cushy gig.  Lots of hours for sure.  

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.

It wasn't the only way. All they had to do was promise to get the hell out of the way and enforce the law.

BUt no. Trudeau sees it as an election win. 

This will turn into a 22 billion dollar disaster. Or they will just sit on it while charging us through the hoop.

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.  

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.

The in car camera stuff this morning from Hamiltons car looked scary, thinking they are pushing over 100mph with walls constantly on either side.

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.

It's the history of the place...I agree the racing blows.

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.

Crashed sometime before qualifying. They were putting his car back together and decided it needed a gearbox change. Didn't get it done in time for Q1.

I walked a bit of the Monaco track years ago.  Holy hell, TV doesn't do justice to how tight the track is.

Yet its at historical highs for Canada -   

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.

But the stock Market is up and the unemployment rate is low.  I thought that was all Trumpsters cared about. 

The TSX performance has been pretty dismal in comparison to pretty much every other index.

The Coquihalla is the road featured on that Highway Through Hell show correct? Looks like that baby can get nasty.

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.

Recreate? Wtf???

 

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.

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.

I have a couple of friends with 2017 Dodge 3500’s and both have super nasty death wobble. One of the trucks has been in the shop for 2 months and they still cant figure it out. They have had service techs up from HQ to try and solve the problem with no luck. 

Its not just a Super Duty problem. 

My Uncle just put a $17,000 dollar long block in his Dodge.

My friends truck is a 2017 F250 XLT PSD, 30,001 miles, the tech who took the truck out for a ride came back and the truck is not safe to drive at any speed.

What sucks for Todd is that he owns a residential remodeling company and they gave him an Escape for a loaner, how the fuck do you deliver cabinets and other items to a job site???

Ford pays for a loaner if a truck is in for warranty work.  They give me another pickup if I want one.

If Energy companies paid the true cost for their products, solar would look cheap in comparison.

Sprinkling chemical to make a pipeline spill sink to the bottom of the river is not a clean up.

Congress protects the oil companies by limiting the amount they have to spend on clean ups.   That should not happen.

You fuck up, you clean up or go bankrupt trying.   That would reduce spill very quickly.

 

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.  

Had an iP 8 since last fall.  Good battery performance and it does everything I need.  It just works.

DIY grid tied kit...  pretty cheap 6-7 year pay back.  Solar install company are there to make a profit

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?

This is how we've been cucked by capitalism. Nothing is worth doing unless it has a positive ROI

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?
