I am rolling around on the floor laughing my ass off at the production JT orchestrated this week. A new outlandish costume every day, inviting a radical convicted assassin to his sanctioned state activities, and forgetting that Canada is 150 years old. Dancing around on stage like the court jester. Add in the gong show he created at the APEC conference in Nov, the poor reception he received on his China trip and him stumbling around drunk or stoned on stage in Cali last week and I'm starting to feel sorry for the people who voted for him. We are BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!

I see Harper and JT wearing ceremonial head dresses and face paint put on them by First Nations people. Sanctioned for by FN's for symbolic purposes. In your other pics, I see Harper along side other ethnic people wearing traditional religous clothing out of respect to the people he is standing along side of. Everyone wears them. I do not see Harper parading around by himself in flamboyant Indian clothing that even the locals don't wear.

Our boy JT took that opportunity as well.

I've stumbled on his Avatar a few times in those comments section. Hard to miss that.

Farmers Without Foreskins?

Didn't this take place after Bhen stoved up his own sled earlier that day?

There is still quite a bit of intercooler plumbing, so there may be some lag unless they have added some fancy bypasses to help with that like Yamaha did. The 900 turbo is mounted nice and low compared to the Yamacat though. Should give it a better center of gravity.

That's asking a lot, considering it's made in tru-doo-doo land.

Y?

The old two stroke twins didn't fit in the G4 because of width. I doubt a three cylinder turbo will fit, so I would assume the chassis will be a modified G4.

I sort of get that from an employers perspective. They train you specifically to their facility. That keeps you a little more captive as an employee IMO.

That really surprises me. I would have thought with the heavy focus on safety in O&G that they would set a minimum standard for an electrical worker as a journeyman. Ben's right in that apprentices only take cursory schooling on technical equipment, but they are taught theory and are tested to make sure they are able to do basic calculations. Even things like hand signals and rigging are pretty useful to maintenance people. O&G here are JM as a minimum.

Very few of the plants out here apprentice anyone. They wait until contractors put them through school and get their JM's and then try to hire them. The only ones I knew of in Sask who were allowed to work on electrical without any schooling (other than a home owners) were Hutterites. Then, a few years ago, the government cracked down on them and they sent each colonies "electrician" to classes. They now can work on their own farm's equipment under a restricted licence. I think they still have to get a contractor in to sign off on anything 600V.

Wow, that's very different than what is done up here. As soon as a new employee makes it through a 3 month probationary period, we indenture them into the apprenticeship program. Over the next 4 years, as they accumulate the required hours, they periodically go to school and at the end, write their journeyman exams to qualify for their ticket. Our OSHA legislation would not allow us to use anything but journeymen or apprentices under the supervision of a journeyman to do much of our work.

I'm confused? You are a journeyman, but not licensed?

The current is the constant out of the equation. The voltage required varies greatly based on the environment the current has to travel through.

Ever ask him how it's worked? I was curious to hear his results at the end of the day.

Not surprising. Empty words that the naive eat up like fruit loops.

Farmers shouldn't be going near 600V period. Glad to hear you are OK Ben. I hate hearing stories like that, to close for comfort.

I remember Webba that used to be on here was installing a system on his manufacturing shop. I wonder how that all worked out.

I think whoever told them that was stretching it. The account I trust said 30 to 50. Just for perspective, 750 were called for duty, 200 actually showed up and out of the 200, the 30 to 50 were Native. The prosecution and the defense each have 14 peremptory challenges where you can toss a juror for no particular reason. So, the defense tossed 5 Native looking people before they got their 12 jurors. The potential jurors were brought up by random draw out of a hat. If more First Nations people showed up and were interested in being on the jury without implicit bias, then they could have had representation and the defense couldn't have stopped it. Also what is left out of the media coverage was that the prosecution also used challenges to toss middle aged white guys.

There's some SJW from Ottawa who's trying to doxx everyone brave enough to put their name on the gofundme page. I guess it's now reprehensible to help a person who's been bankrupted himself trying to prove his innocence in a court of law. I'm still not sure he should have got off scott free, but I sure as hell am not going to freak out about people who want to help him and his family pay bills. He's no monster, that much I'm sure of.

The driver and his buddy ran after the farmer came out with his gun. They left the two women and Colton back in the SUV to fend for themselves. Colton had a .3 BAC so I doubt he could run if he wanted to. After he got shot, the farmer's son called the RCMP and at some point, the two woman inside the SUV put a beating on the farmer's wife. I don't know if it was laid out better in the court room, but some of it doesn't make sense to me. I just went off reporter twitter feeds so lots gets left out.

Maybe they will get a tranny instead.
