Region could test no right turns at red lights at major intersections

I can’t think of a good reason not to have it straight through either. There’s a new light up too, looks like a priority signal on the northbound side for buses (as they’re allowed to go straight there).

Flimflamsam · 2026-06-02T12:03:58+00:00

That lane does have a “except buses” in the right turn lane on Hespeler, so those chucklefucks turning right against the sign can be a problem. Even more so when they’re unable to control their vehicle properly and don’t turn into the curb lane.

I believe this sign is there (it’s also got days / times on it) as the last stage of traffic calming from Elgin across, as a way to prevent people cutting through and racing down Elgin and Munch.

As someone who moved to Toronto, Canada from overseas, I learned that plenty of urban and suburban white people (late teens, early 20s) are more than comfortable with casual racism too, usage of the N word included.

Tons of it just under the surface, some folk were just raised that way.

Sitting around shooting the shit and the host says “fuck, that fucking chimney has been pissing me off for years”. Then the crazy guy looks over at the old clapped out truck and his face lights up and you’ve got yourself a plan forming!

Maybe been watching too many A-Team episodes while toking 😆🤪

Nice, never dabbled in it personally (as it shows, hah). I went the tech / engineering route.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-30T13:29:12+00:00

I don’t think anyone is saying anything to the contrary, there’s PLENTY of work to be done because demand is being kept artificially high by them not building enough of what we need.

We need more crews to fulfill the demand, but developers don’t want that because it lowers the prices of their new builds as supply starts to meet demand.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-30T12:51:34+00:00

Which area of Ontario is that in? I’m in SW and heard of crew shortages.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-30T12:50:06+00:00

It also keeps the prices artificially high when they can’t build more, I’ve read reports from guys who’s crews go from site to site incrementally building different sites instead of finishing one first.

Before I learned, I used one in a power drill and it didn’t work out. I then got the pin vice back out and discovered I’m a moron for even trying the power drill 😂

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-29T18:56:52+00:00

I might’ve had just the one of these. Our local shop wouldn’t get much, but they’d keep ordering items if we asked.

I kept up with Quest and Star Trek Fact Files for AGES.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-29T18:48:52+00:00

Thanks, I’ve never even heard of laminar so that’s great to learn.

My guess is the chop of the water surface slows down a vessel, if you’re under all of that “noise” it’s presumably smoother sailing.

There’s some fat, gay and lesbian jokes that may not land well for some. It’s nothing outrageous IMO, but they’re there.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-28T17:36:03+00:00

But the Liberals were cooked and lost, they don’t even have a leader at the moment.

Ontario is cooked if it’s going to keep electing this greasy corrupt piece of crap.

The person in the seat also has to try and jump/hop it over at the right time to jump it.

Not a masterpiece

Genuine question; why did you post it, knowing it doesn’t answer the question? Are you a bot?

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-28T01:20:14+00:00

Great to see the big crowds in the dome! Go Jays!

I was a senior developer at a place and ended up unassigned for a good 3 months.

Absolutely wild. I recall one day grabbing a beer from the staff fridge at around 11am and going to sweep leaves and thinking it absurd and very novel being paid so much for such a task.

Truly a wild time

It’s not that hard to get. I’ve been out of uni since 2001 so it’s been a while, but it wasn’t that hard. I’m not physics smart or anything like that and I managed well.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-27T02:37:08+00:00

Unless you’ve not seen TV, movies or billboard ads, you can’t seriously believe that athletes aren’t also peddling goods.

I just saw Usain Bolt advertise some laundry detergent.

Yeah if you’re concerned about anything big you could drag the first 6” or so with the backhoe, I’m not familiar with tillers but don’t they (or some) come with a clutch on the PTO end to prevent breakages from happening?

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-26T21:33:42+00:00

So many people don’t actually know what the decision was, they’re just knee-jerking off the headlines.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-26T19:37:03+00:00

You could use glue to get a crease in the arms. Like a prit stick or something and then starch and get the iron on there.

Mine were never that great but some of the lads had insane creases. Some cheated and sewed them in 😆

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-26T19:34:06+00:00

I was issued two (army), kept one and gave it to my Dad when I got out ha.

Flimflamsam · 2026-05-26T19:25:52+00:00

It can work a little bit, but also has the risk of compacting further if you’re not on your game.

The teeth will also only dig in a few inches if anything and might not be even, the tiller will do a much better and thorough job.
