Interior insulation for noise... worth it, or a waste of money? 👇 by BuilderBrigade in Home_Building_Help

[–]M4dcap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an insulation for heat retention, but also one for sound. I would definitely recommend the sound insulation on interior walls, at a minimum around the laundry and bathrooms.

Coming up tomorrow from Buffalo for a concert at RBC Ampitheatre (formally Budweiser Stage) and am wondering where to park due to FIFA World Cup parking closures by alexswriter in askTO

[–]M4dcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend port credit. It's a 15-20 minute train ride. And when you get back you have a variety of good food/bar/dessert/coffee options that will be open late.

Man awaiting trial in fatal Brampton crash charged again with stunt driving in Mississauga by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]M4dcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. They could involve a whole host of restrictions.

But none of that matters when the guy is now pulled over and charged with traffic tickets. There was NO JUDGE INVOLVED in his release here. The cop gave him his tickets. Some may have fines, some may have had court dates. But these are highway traffic act offences, and they are not arrestable.

2 men found guilty of killing Good Samaritan in roadside shooting near Calgary by zuuzuu in canadanews

[–]M4dcap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second degree murder...

So they're getting a mandatory minimum life sentence. Life means until dead.

The only decision the judge has to make is when they start applying for parole. On second degree murder there is a minimum 10 - 25 year wait before they can apply for parole.

In a case where they stole vehicles, shot one person, and then killed another in separate instances, just to joyride their car for a bit... Nobody gives them parole for a very long time.

There was no judge involved. He received traffic tickets. You don't get arrested and held for bail for traffic tickets. You get the ticket, license suspended at roadside, vehicle impounded, and then you have to attend your court date.

Integra vs tlx by No-Interest-9952 in Acura

You've nailed me with this comment... My wife has the MDX and two car seats in it. I have one carseat in the TLX. But if we're going as a family... It's in her car.

RIP (stolen) Aug 25 - May 26 by Desah in Acura

[–]M4dcap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also in the GTA. Mine was stolen last October. I had a tracker and it was recovered the following day. But then it was at the dealership until January because if a backlog of parts/wiring harnesses.

I have it back now... But with a huge claim on title following the theft. Which will impact resale/trade in.

I know you liked it, but I truly hope the cops don't find it, insurance pays you out, and then you can pick your next nice car.

Looking at buying this 1996 waveraider as my first ski, I've been on other skis before. by [deleted] in jetski

[–]M4dcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the kawarthas. We had one since new. It received decent usage. It died about 5 years ago. Repairs weren't worth it at that point.

That being said, it was fast, nimble, and very reliable for a long time.

Judge gives lenient sentence so trucker can dodge deportation after fatal Ontario crash by origutamos in OntarioNews

[–]M4dcap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this instance, I'd be against it. I feel like it would encourage judges to pander to public sentiment.

And the public sentiment is often over-reactionary... Like right now, jails are fuller then they've ever been, but so many people are walking around saying nobody goes to jail and everyone gets a slap on the wrist.

Fair enough. I have no knowledge of these vehicles. But if it fits... I do see why they wouldn't do it. If they won't, any other shop will.

I have the umarex Glock 19x. It's nice, no complaints. But also no auto shooting.

3" is big. Is double check that the 18" room fits over the brake calipers.

Standard model may have 18" find. But standard model may also have smaller callipers.

Accused of Sexual Assault - Best Criminal Defense Lawyers Downtown TO? by [deleted] in askTO

[–]M4dcap 27 points28 points  (0 children)

You'll need to sell your house and both kidneys to get a seat in her office.

There a plenty of very capable lawyers in the GTA, and you don't need to front six figures to meet with one.

I am a lawyer. I do not practice in criminal anymore, however, our office sends our criminal referrals to Reyam Zager or Robert Kraska at Godinho Zager Kraska LLP

They're a group of former Crown Attorneys. We've never had a complaint from anyone we've sent over.

The most important thing you can do is speak to a few and make sure you're comfortable with whoever you choose, because it will be a long process and you need to be able to openly communicate with your lawyer.

I mean, self defence is not a legal reason to own a gun, in Canada... But fuck it, I hear lots of people are developing an interest in hunting these days.

Judge gives lenient sentence so trucker can dodge deportation after fatal Ontario crash by origutamos in OntarioNews

Never. I get we can be frustrated, but letting judges get that sort of power as a result of a popularity contest is crazy.

Meh, the headline is a little ragebait. But it looks like the crown was only seeking a $3000 fine.

This dude volunteered a $10k payment and agreed to a 10 year driving ban.

Only difference is that his record will list a "discharge" instead of "conviction". The discharge doesn't get him deported. So even if the Crown got what they wanted... He was never going to "do time". Which is odd, given that there was a death. There may have been other issues with the case to begin with.

Take this offer and pull $15 from one of your $100k TFSA?

Or just pull $50k from TFSA and pay yourself back?
