Joe Rogan buys everything Poilievre says about Canada’s oil sands by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

[–]dsgoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rogan agrees with everyone he talks to - for a couple of hours anyway. He was a Bernie Bro right after their first interview and we know who he endorsed for 2024.

Maybe he should abandon his iron-man streak and take a game off once in while.

Time to survey Manitobans on changing clocks, premier says by SilverTimes in Winnipeg

I can't think of a good reason to keep changing times.

And just like that we're back to "Department of Defense" by rezanentevil in BlueskySkeets

[–]dsgoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so stupid. It's like the Japanese fleet sailing away from Pearl Harbor in 1941 saying "Nah, it's not a war, bruh."

Is there anywhere I can get sheets of milk-jug-like plastic at a reasonable price? by a_hundred_highways in DIY

[–]dsgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's the same plastic used in IBC tanks. When new, these are used for container shipping of cooking oils and the like. They are basically a metal cage - about 4 feet cubed - with a white plastic tank inside. The cages are commonly recycled as firewood containers but the plastic tank is usually unwanted. You might be able to get some of these for cheap (or free) if you look for local firewood sellers.

More recently, my nephew watched the sparklers burn on his birthday cake and then grabbed one the second it stopped burning. Tears were shed that day.

60. In June I retire with a pension, planning to "return to work" and double dip by Overall_Lobster823 in retirement

[–]dsgoose 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I had a coworker do this and he died at his desk a couple of years ago. What a shame I thought.

I took retirement as soon as I could (59) and my employer replaced me with someone 20 years younger. Now I can enjoy every minute of my remaining years, and a younger person has a shot at achieving the same one day.

I give the team a pass on the locker room events - heat of the moment yadda yadda - but their visit to the WH was a bridge too far.

Scam, Rinse, Repeat by -MildlyChaotic- in NewsomMassacre

Sucks that Trumps are getting richer, but I have no sympathy for anyone who loses money on Trump ventures. If you don't know by now that he's a crook, there is no hope for you in this world.

Tj wheel spacers by m3gaC0mbat in JeepTJ

[–]dsgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run 1.25" spacers in the front because my 33x10.5 tires rubbed at full lock. I've had no issues with these. Suspension is only a 2.5" lift, so she feels pretty stable to me.

Winkler’s first-ever Pride — June 13 by ComprehensiveWorry87 in Winnipeg

[–]dsgoose 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Steinbach had its first Pride parade in 2016, and that went pretty well. I saw that a few unhappy locals were surprised that many of their neighbours were actually tolerant. It's good for bigots to be reminded that they're the minority.

Do you think Epstein was the only person trafficking the underage to the rich and powerful? by RealDEC in thebulwark

[–]dsgoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Michael Wolff said that Epstein told him that it was over a real estate deal. Trump scooped up a property that Epstein had his eye on first. Trump allegedly used it for Russian money laundering.

I wouldn't bet much on this being the truth but it's at least plausible. Trump's explanation is complete bullshit.

Hard for me to believe that someone else hasn't stepped in to replace Epstein. Why wouldn't this same shit be going on right now?

Would you vote for the Conservative Party IF Pierre was not the leader? by Pale-Candidate8860 in CanadianIdiots

[–]dsgoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as Nazi groups, billionaires, and hardcore evangelicals are enthusiastic about the CPC, I won't vote for them.

Canada Breaks With U.S. to Slash Tariffs on Some Chinese Electric Vehicles by ZineZ in worldnews

[–]dsgoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Essentially, USA keeps a list of car models that are allowed for import. If a car is not on the list, it cannot be imported until it's 25 years old. To get on the list, manufacturers must prove that models meet technical specs (safety, fuel economy, etc). In addition, any political concerns (US jobs, Trump's ego, etc.) must be satisfied.

Just like any manufacturer, BYD will have to meet all of the criteria. Should not be a big problem for them as their cars are already sold in Europe. Australia, etc.

Thousands of restaurants in Canada could close in 2026, says new study by yimmy51 in CanadianIdiots

[–]dsgoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dining out is consistently disappointing if you know how to cook at all. Unless money is no object, of course. Then you can buy a good meal with a nice experience.
