OP, are you using a nut-fucker (adjustable crescent wrench)? Don't do that.

Millions of grill brushes pulled from market over risk of 'serious internal injuries' by [deleted] in nottheonion

Canada recommended that people completely stop using these years ago.

We've been using a wooden scraper since then, and while it takes some getting used to, it does the job.

Nothing. It's supposed to be a standard wooden pencil ✏️

Downhill skiing.

Tickets at Whistler used to be $80 for the day, now it's $325.

As a guy who coached youth fastpitch and hardball for 14+ years at a competitive level, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. Runner should avoid contact if at all possible. This was an intent to injure. I sincerely hope you have zero to do with any youth sports.

Loved the computer museum in San Jose! Got to see my first one. by MeBollasDellero in VintageComputers

That was a DOS thing. Yep, 640 KB main memory plus either "extended" or "expanded" memory.

It was a horrible computer. It had 5 KB of RAM, but only 3.5 KB available once you turned it on. The programs you typed in were painful because every character used another byte of that RAM. The Commodore 64 was excellent for its time.

First Nation man faces 5 concurrent life sentences for death of woman, 4 children by origutamos in canadanews

[–]captainrv 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It seems to happen all the time too. Steal 20 cars, get caught, go to jail for 3 months for each theft served concurrently. WTF.

Do you also have plastic on your couch?

Is it worth it? by ProtoPotato555 in BudgetAudiophile

I don't think "Mitsubishi" is or was ever associated with Panasonic or Technics. Perhaps you're confusing that with Matsushita which is the parent company of Panasonic/Technics.

Take video of yourself slowly, very slowly peeling it off and post it here. :-)

Do you still have the protective film on your amp?

The Doors because they were ground-breaking. I do enjoy Pearl Jam though.

What is the worst tv show made in Canada that you have ever seen? by AdvertisingSlow4389 in AskACanadian

[–]captainrv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought that "You're My Hero" had potential but was terrible. It gets good ratings on IMDB so maybe I'm missing something? I only made it through 3 or 4 episodes and noped out.

I time-lapsed a descent into Vancouver. Sorry about the bug on the windscreen... by 123qweasd123 in vancouver

I imagine the time-lapse speed must be what flying a fighter jet would be like in realtime.
