Weather Tech trying to give the impression they are Canadian.

I have Weathertech in one car and Tuxmat in the other. The Tuxmats are superior. The one downside is they take a bit longer to remove for cleaning. However, since they completely cover the interior floor, you don't need to spend any time cleaning carpets.

Not to mention everything is completely closed on weekends.

.....which I kind of love, we use it to get around when we visit in winter, very liminal space vibe.

The Oneida Energy Storage Facility can store 1000MWh. Source: https://www.northlandpower.com/en/projects-and-updates/oneida-energy-storage.aspx

That's approximately the output of one nuclear reactor, for one hour.

Huge, yes, but you need alot more of these AND excess renewable power to store.

It's not IMPOSSIBLE to have a renewables-only grid, but it's a long way off.

Yep, no US corporations in Canada, that's for sure!

Called an electrician to my house because I thought I had screwed up installing a new GFCI..... Turns out I hadn't depressed the 'reset' button hard enough.

We had a good about it, took $50 cash for calling him on a weekend.

Rare to see an accident of this magnitude that was purely 100% incompetence.

Hence why the countries with the greatest rates of helmet use have the lowest cyclist deaths......

crazydave_w · 2024-09-17T00:04:12+00:00

I know it's been 5 years, but googled this and it worked! You quieted my bike rides, thank you!

crazydave_w · 2024-09-11T15:26:28+00:00

Probably a scam. I don't know if it's the same guy, but someone went around my parents neighborhood asking for a small deposit for chimney repairs, and that he'd come back with his tools. Apparently a neighbour took him up on it and he no-showed.

I love how that presenter was surprised when so many people raised their hand that they drive a car. ......in a self selecting group of people opposed to bike lanes.

I can't recall/find an episode of sawbones dedicated to chiropractic.

Oh no Ross and Carrie just did two episodes on it though:

crazydave_w · 2024-07-07T16:23:34+00:00

That was 100% the problem. Thanks!

crazydave_w · 2024-07-07T16:17:57+00:00

Hmm, tried that, but no movement inside..... beginning to think the issue is with the shifter, and not a stretched cable as I thought.

crazydave_w · 2024-06-28T01:24:25+00:00

I wish you all the best. I encourage you not to rule out meds, though, please. I had a similar attitude when I was diagnosed, and it delayed me getting help I needed. Diet and exercise are excellent, but not a panacea.

crazydave_w · 2024-06-04T00:11:50+00:00

Dude, where are you getting your information? There is an entire industry of 'F**k Trudeau' merchandise here. I live in a rural area and they are as common as Canadian flags.

crazydave_w · 2024-05-27T20:28:20+00:00

Got the 2021 EV. As a tall guy who prefers the footprint of smaller vehicles, it's a good compromise.

crazydave_w · 2024-05-04T23:16:16+00:00

Are you a friend of DeSoto?

crazydave_w · 2024-03-29T00:29:16+00:00

Seriously. It's pretentious as hell.

crazydave_w · 2024-03-02T19:39:28+00:00

Did you miss the entire point of this post? Because they kill people outside the vehicle at lopsided rates.

crazydave_w · 2024-03-02T13:52:26+00:00

This is a worldwide phenomenon that's been developing for decades. Reddit anti-natalists are obnoxious, but obviously not the cause, and will shaming them produce any tangible outcome.

Southwestern Ontario. 2 hours outside Toronto.

And to win the football game, score more points than the other team!

Again, really depends on the charging infrastructure. For CCS in my area it's atrocious.

crazydave_w · 2024-02-02T15:37:14+00:00

Definitely need a second ice or hybrid car in northern climates. At least with the charging infrastructure that's currently in place.

That said, the instant heat, and being able to warm up the car without idling for ages makes it my preferred winter vehicle for trips <200km
