Company I work for tried switching an asphalt plant from diesel fired heat to hydrogen. Heating asphalt takes a massive amount of heat. They went through tens of thousands of gallons of diesel a day There was a hydrogen filling station 30 miles away, so they bought a trailer to bring it in. The problem was the heat generated in compressing the hydrogen to a liquid. When it reverts to a gas it demands the heat it lost in the change of state. When the demand came for the hydrogen, the decanter they had to decompress the hydrogen was quickly overwhelmed, even in the summer heat. They really needed a decanter that could effectively reheat the hydrogen. Toyota is not a stupid company. They will figure it out. Perhaps they use the energy generated by wind and solar to heat the hydrogen, maybe use the already decompressed hydrogen to heat the incoming supply. A visual representation of this can be seen in the space shuttle boosters on the Columbia. Anyone who owns an air compressor can see how this happens. If the air gets compressed and used immediately, it’s hot Use that air tomorrow and it’s cold. Trust the science!!

Very sad, but its first degree murder, period. He should spend the rest of his days in jail.

Defamation is easy to avoid. Don't lie and make shit up.

I live in Ontario and have watched the rental market. Big landlords have good legal teams. I personally don't care what happens to them, maybe I should. The bigger issue is what happens to the mom and pop landlords who get a professional tenant. It is so hard to evict a tenant who doesn't pay rent, sometimes for years, few want to get into the rental game. I could easily rent out a room or two, even bring in modular housing and all that entails. Cost me hundreds of thousands, but would bring good homes on the market. Without the the ability to collect rent, how would that make sense.

Smartest thing I've seen you say....but there is still a housing shortage.

I own 4 GM's. Front hubs are chronic. 3 of the four all take the same hub. 1500 series AWD vans, same as a 4x4 pickup truck. I now buy in bulk. The cheapest shit I can find. Air hammer. One of the best tools I ever bought. Has yet to fail getting a hub out, without heat.

We pay tax on mortgage interest , you do not. We can sign a mortgage for no more than really 5 years, and then are subject to the new rate at the time. We do not pay capital gains on a primary residence. All else is subject. Our dope, yesterday made the capital gain rates %66.7, after a $250k exemption, in an effort I believe to get people to sell a second home. My entire net worth is tied up in my primary residence, and an RRSP..what you would call a 401k. It won't effect me, but it will others. When a boomer sells his second home, say a cottage it's usually to pass the money down to his children. That additional tax will just take money from a gen Z or younger. Our idiot just doesn't think.

Nice little compact gun. Can't conceal carry, so I doubt they are in demand up here. IWI Jericho .45 acp. Bought a bunch of blammo when it was cheap. Haven't fired it in a while. As I age I'm sure the .45 may become unwieldly. She's big and heavy, especially with the flashlight and laser. Better start working out again.

Our government has made the purchase and sale, even privately, of handguns illegal. No Glocks, unless you already have one...or you care to get one brought in through a reserve and sold by your friendly neighborhood shit rat.

Coined by me, in my snowmobile club we refer to them as Satan's chariot.

And you thought you were #1 in the election of idiots. Canada FTW!!

Ontario is balls deep in this fucking mess. Our "conservative" government watched the green energy fiasco go down under the previous liberal government and railed against it. They then throw tens of billions into EV's and batteries. Might as well have burned that money and got some heat out of it. What is in the bloody water at Queens park?

I didn't hear him say anything about Joe, good or bad? He just called some asshole a cock sucker..

It was quite liberating, not having to socially interact with the lesser humanoids. It really honed my skills at avoiding people and retail shopping. As soon as skip the dishes and grocery delivery get to my little berg I will achieve the rank of Covid Jedi Master.

I’d wager no one here can claim to own nothing made in China. Needed a cheap dirt bike for the nieces and nephews. I bought a Drz 400, lowered it, regeared it…still too much bike. I’d have loved to get a CRF 80, but the TSC Coleman was $800. It’s actually a pretty fun toy. I was already too deep in the Drz my wife said. Bought new 2020 SM, was just shy of 10k. She is correct. Bought another Suzuki Eiger 400 full auto for them, in addition to the same in semi auto I already have. That I got for a great deal. Needed a full front end rebuild. Same as my other Eiger. Front wheel bearings are shit. The one I got the bearings went, the previous owner kept riding it so bad the rotors chewed up the callipers. Might buy a CRF 125, but they are 4K new, and still stupid money used. I’m seeing the toy market come back to reality, but so far it’s really slow. The “need to sell” hasn’t happened yet.

It’s a gas, tears of Chinese children hybrid.

Good idea on the fan. Air cooled gasser in an enclosure, guess that keep the costs down. Probably cheaper than renting one for a month. I picked up an old Allis Chalmers I 600 hoe, late 60’s. Leaks hydraulic fluid like mad, power steering fluid too. 3 grand. Paid for itself long ago.

If your public education system is anything like ours, a strong democracy is the last thing it builds. Socialist indoctrination camps they are.

Healthcare spending in Canada is out of control. It’s the number one item of federal and provincial budgets, yet it keeps getting worse and worse. Years long waits for surgeries, ER’s closing all over. Canadians gladly head to you guys to buy healthcare.

What do they do if you over value your real estate assets?

X2 My wife is unhappy with the gallon jar of pickled eggs I bought last week.,

Canada needs a castle doctrine. I want to get my wife more comfortable with weapons. Been a while since I showed her how to load the 12 gauge, aim and fire. She did not like it. I doubt she remembers any of it. We live in a rural environment, and the risk of similar is low, but it’s never zero. I technically live on a farm, so the storage rules on non restricted don’t apply. All firearms get locked in a cabinet, and safe however. I bought a Byrna a while back. I’m going to get her comfortable with it. It’s as close to the Jericho .45 I have, as fuck is to swearing. Like to get her to try it out. The buckmark .22 I have would likely just be as effective a deterrent, without the recoil. Trained memory is all one needs. Canada however doesn’t allow for the pepper or CS gas rounds yet. I hope that changes. I’ve zero problem assessing a threat and dealing appropriate force, quickly and efficiently. I think she’d hesitate. The Byrna hopefully changes her attitude. Non lethal. It should be a given it’s a free and ready option. I think Canadian attitudes are getting more in line with judged by 12 vs carried by 6.

Not combat per say but good on him. Still don't like his politics, but everyone is entitled to be wrong.,

Bill Clinton was the last President that had a balanced budget. No party's hands are clean.

My question is, when are those on the right side of the political spectrum going to start punching below the belt too? It's fine to be virtuous, but in this case it's better to be victorious. Trumpy bear said, this is a fight for your country. Start fighting dirtier than your rivals.
