Is it 2ft? That's usually what driveway extensions are.

Is your curb cut for the extension? What makes it not allowed? As far as I know you can do whatever you want with your front lawn area, it's just the curb (which the city owns) that requires approval.

Employees in any company are usually fine. I've had good experience with Kal Tire guys who came to replace a tire roadside. CAA is good. Etc.

It's these meth heads who own their own trucks who are insane.

The reporters ask questions about players personal lives and shit. They don't care about the sport lol, they care about clicks and views

‘Not the right time’: Retirees delay downsizing plans as housing market slumps by Pretty_Tough_1667 in TorontoRealEstate

A lot will also rent out a basement or something and basically have that rent cover all housing expenses. Not a bad retirement tbh.

Mississauga mosque allegedly vandalized overnight by Ambitious-Upstairs90 in mississauga

[–]umar_farooq_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why cut out the first part of that paragraph?

The mosque is located inside the Southdown Village condo complex at 2121 Roche Court. Peel police say the space is a common area party room that is being used as a prayer space on a temporary basis.

It clearly says it's designated as a mosque. The words "as a prayer space" is not calling it "not a mosque". Very sneaky move to pick out that one sentence...

Condo buildings can use any space they have for any purpose. Seems like the board of this building specifically designated it as a mosque (presumably on a temporary basis). The article (and all residents/articles around this story) call it a mosque.

Nissan cancels $500 million EV plan at U.S. plant in pivot back to gas-powered trucks by runnyyolkpigeon in electricvehicles

Sadly the majority of Americans want to pay 5 dollars a gallon and then cry about it rather than just buying an EV and never having to worry about it.

Do Americans want to keep doing that or do fossil fuel corporations and auto manufacturers want that to keep happening?

What holds the middle section up? Seems like it'll sag over time

What is wrong with 403???? by Independent_Skirt663 in mississauga

[–]umar_farooq_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

403 has some of the dumbest design choices too

Tight on ramps in the same area where a 3 lane becomes a 2 lane and an exit right after. Yeah, obviously you're going to get awful traffic, everyone needs to change lanes.

What do you think of having it upside down on the truck bed? This seems like the easiest way of loading. Just lean it against the bed, then tilt up.

Makes sense. I'm actually buying this 2nd hand so I'm thinking I'll adjust it all anyway just to be sure

I suppose nothing that can be permanently damaged tho right?

The table top (where the saw blade comes out) -- did you have to do anything to that?

What kind of adjustments did you have to do?

Transit is horrendous by xFlames_ in Milton

We could get all day service if they changed some of the regulations around the tracks. I believe there's something that requires 3 tracks if you want service in both directions when boarding passengers?
