On me mind... time for oil change on the 17... and woke up thinking I was having a stroke or something - total tightness in the chest, I think it's a back pain though, I'd be dead by now if it wasn't lol Anyway I need to move a ton of lumber this afternoon, if my ticker is weak, it will pop today for good.

local radio station hosts, last world cup, and during another local event. "I just wish they would let bars serve alcohol earlier so you could go with your buddy's and watch a game while having a beer." "it would be nice if they would make a rule for these type of events so bars don't close as early or can open up earlier, think about it it would be a good bit of extra revenue"

same hosts this am. "I mean who was even asking for this hour change for alcohol? why does it even matter? you know what it was, just Doug Ford sitting around drunk with buddy's, complaining cuz they want more beer"

Tried to wash the car this am and had one of the new 10’s with the women’s on it. Car wash machine was being sexist and would not except the bill. Had to put in a 20 and take a bunch of change back

aaaaannnywaaaay...

Gonna have to take a rip in the Coyote today, get it off the hoist. Need to get an oil change done and whatnot too. Can't wait to daily it to save on gas money and reduce risks of speeding tickets. I'm terrible in the G37 because I feel like no one suspects the car but I've been hovering over 170kmh on the 407 and I've pushed my winter tires near 200kmh on an offramp. It's ridiculous, I don't normally do that. In the Mustang I put the cruise at 120 and enjoy my V8 sound from the comfort of the slow lane LOL

So messed up!

In a post on social media, Bouman emphasised the collaborative efforts that had made the imaging of the black hole possible.

“No one algorithm or person made this image, it required the amazing talent of a team of scientists from around the globe and years of hard work to develop the instrument, data processing, imaging methods, and analysis techniques that were necessary to pull off this seemingly impossible feat,” said Bouman. While their discovery was made in June, it was only presented to the world by all 200 researchers on Wednesday.

Huh? What is a very large number? Majority?

[RedSN]

As reported by labour organizations, the total number of workers paying dues to a union in Canada was 4.83 million at the end of 2015
Union dues-paying workers comprised 31.8% of all employees in Canada in 2015
https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/collective-bargaining-data/reports/union-coverage.html
So no, not the majority.

And the eastern provinces skew the average higher so Ontario is under 30%.

[92redragtop]

I suppose it can be called a large number while the flipside of it (1-X) is much larger.

Unionization rate, Canada and provinces, 2016 %
Newfoundland and Labrador 36.1
Quebec 35.5
Manitoba 33.1
Saskatchewan 30.9
Nova Scotia 29.6
Prince Edward Island 29.5
Canada 28.4
British Columbia 27.4
New Brunswick 26.7
Ontario 25.2
Alberta 23.1

[5.4MarkVIII]

Huh? What is a very large number? Majority?

Union folk plus there family’s. Plus all their students

Don’t know how many but enough to get us 15 years of liberals despite reckless spending and horrible mismanagement


I’m not the one who said majority. I said a lot. Don’t put words in my mouth then throw stats out to “prove me wrong”

30% of people are unionized When only around 60% actually vote and the unions they follow are some of the biggest donators to certain political party’s and the unions tell their members how to vote.

I’d say it’s kind of relevant

Can't find anything locally that doesn't cost a million dollhairs.

Excuse my noobie question.

[NickD]

I have one just like that, I like it better then the hammer blocks and think it does a better crimp. Only thing to make sure is that it does the right gauge wire, for some reason some of them don’t have a 4 gauge insert. In the past for 0 i soldered but used the crimp this time and its 80% the result of hydraulic crimpers

You have to pay CRA XXX dollars now that you could have paid last year? The fact that you kept it for so long means they lent you the money for that period - there is a cost of funds both ways.

[92redragtop]

If you're getting money back, or only owe a small amount you've given the government an interest free loan.

payroll tax is like the frog in the pot, you don't feel it nearly as much as if you have to pay the whole nut at the end of the year. Paying a big chunk all at once makes you think a lot harder on where those tax dollars are going.

Oh, it's felt when you see how much goes out to them every month....and it's not spent well.

[stangstevers]

Getting money back which doesn't mean much I maxed out my RRSP contributions which is about the same as a decent little car and the money I paid in taxes for 2018 makes me feel suicidal. Like what's the point of working 12+ hours a day to move ahead in life only to support governments that throw it away at life-long welfare shit and programs I could give a rats ass about.

[5.4MarkVIII]

I used to get money back, then I became self employed, now it seems all I do is pay.

funny, my last year working for somone else, vs first year self employed same job same house, same pay, same wife and kids, and went from getting a small mount back to having to pay. tax stuff stresses me out so I pay an accountant to deal with it.

[Das 5.0]

I always get back due to some RRSP contributions anywhere from 5 - 10 k back. But yes it should be zero and use my money monthly not yearly. But it’s nice getting a check once a year like this.....

[stangstevers]

RRSP's are tax deferral. You'll eventually need to get that money out. Trying to get it back at a lower tax rate isn't easy. Also consider that the tax rates will most likely be higher when you do want to get that money out. Tax rates rarely drop.

My wife is a highly qualified and trained finance person with all the designations much to my chagrin. lol I trust her to do what's right, but at the same time I'm upset that she won't let me get a 150k car lol

Could just mean your employer was deducting too much from paycheck (or your credits, etc outside of employment tipped the balance in your favour) whereas now you just borrow the money from taxpayers interest free until it's due...your tax return when filed is like an invoice you have to pay whereas paying the taxes during the tax year is essentially "pre-paying" before you have to.

If your not setup on payroll or if you draw more than what you are set up on payroll for, you will owe - all write offs are percentage based - so what percentage is not written off will become income the account will determine this - either way we pay lol sometimes you can share income with your wife and other family members

These rich people giving away hundreds of millions of dollars are fools, that money could be spent to actually help people, not restore a building. Yeah it's a historic building and it's sad that such architecture and engineering went up in smoke but it's more sad that some people can't even afford water.

[stangstevers]

So I really over did it with my deck plan. The upper level platform is roughly 13x14.5 only but the way I designed it, it should be able to carry over 40,000 pounds of weight. Oops and it's only 4 feet off the ground. But like I say, I can put a hot tub with 3 fat chicks, or no hot tub and 5 fat chicks on there :D

My wife is mad that I spent too much on material but it will outlast us and I can't stand any sort of flex under my feet.

[RedSN]

40,000lbs / (13x14.5)sf = 212 psf.

Is the deck made of a structural concrete slab?


40,000lbs / 5 "fat chicks" = 8,000 lbs each. Heaviest woman on earth was approximately 1,600 lb.

Copy and pasted from a Facebook post Mike Rowe shared

“The Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris caught fire and the world watched it burn. The only word that comes to mind is “tragedy.” A real tragedy.

I never got to see the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Though, I had a chance once when I was nineteen. A girl I was dating from Dothan was going to France on scholarship. She asked me to go with her.

It was a bad idea. I am a small-town American who has never traveled overseas. The idea of leaving U.S. soil makes me break out in hives—I wouldn’t survive the Turkish toilets.

I told her to send me a postcard. I never saw her again.

But I always wanted to go. In fact, there are only a few things I’d like to see in person before I die:

The World Series. The Dixie Belle Riverboat. And the spires of Notre Dame de Paris.

I guess I missed my chance.

Today, my wife and I were riding through the Arizona wilderness after spending a weekend at the Grand Canyon. The local radio station interrupted George Strait to announce that Notre Dame was on fire.

My wife turned up the volume. A reporter with a heavy French accent said:

“Ze greatest relic of our civilization is engulfed in flames.” The announcer’s voice broke with emotion. “It is a tragedy, people, a true tragedy…”

My wife covered her mouth.

We pulled over at a burger joint outside Flagstaff, not far from historic Route 66. And in the all-American diner we watched the corner television broadcast a scene from Hell.

A flaming cathedral roof, falling to pieces. Dante’s Inferno.

“I been there once,” said our waitress, filling my coffee mug. “My family’s Italian Catholic, we saw the cathedral last year and my grandpa was holding my hand all along the tour, crying at the relics.”

“We’ve been there, too,” said another man who was eating lunch with his daughter. “Visited one summer, took my breath away.”

The man’s daughter nodded in agreement and kept working on her French fries.

“I couldn’t believe the rose windows,” our waitress went on. “I probably took a hundred pictures of the windows alone.”

The windows she’s referring to are the famous circular stained glass works, adorning the cathedral’s main portals.

The waitress showed us pictures on her phone. Those at the lunch counter craned necks to get a glimpse. We marveled.

The waitress replaced her cellphone in her pocket and made the Sign of the Cross.

“Just think,” said the waitress, “that building dates back to the days of Saint Francis of Assisi.”

It was sobering. My wife couldn’t eat her hashbrowns because she was watching the devastation. I saw a tear in the corner of her eye.

My wife tells me she once stood in Notre Dame, looking at its rafters, and she felt something deep. Awe, maybe.

“Uh oh,” a man said. “Look.”

It happened. The television showed footage of Notre Dame’s French Gothic spire, falling downward into a blaze. It toppled headfirst.

People in the restaurant let out small gasps. An old man sighed. So did the waitress. So did I.

I suppose we all knew what this meant. It meant the wooden lattice work that predates our surnames is gone. Certainly, it might be rebuilt someday, but it will never be what was lost.

Thus, on a quiet Monday afternoon, somewhere in America, my wife and I ate lunch in the company of fellow mourners.

We were five thousand miles away, in a side-of-the-road eatery, but in our hearts we were standing in the City of Lights across the Atlantic.

We watched, shaking our heads, biting our lips, and a few of us wiped our eyes.

Images of flames. European reporters wearing looks of disbelief. An eight-hundred-and-fifty-year-old holy monument, reduced to ashes.

It was not just a chapel, our waitress explained.

It was a subject of Impressionist paintings. It was a muse for Victor Hugo’s literary masterpiece. It contains what many believe to be the crown of thorns from the Crucifixion.

After our waitress served her last customer, she removed her apron and walked outside. I could see her through the diner window. She sat with hands clasped and head bowed.

I paid at the register. I took a final glance at the disturbing scenes on TV and realized I will never get to see it. At least not the way it was.

In the parking lot, I passed our waitress, seated on a bench. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, but I caught a few words.

“Áve María, grátia pléna,
Dóminus técum…”

It was a tragedy. A real tragedy.“

I know that it's a Cathedral, and obviously a lot of religious significance attached to it, but to me i view it as a tremendous architectural loss. I would feel the exact same loss if the Blue Mosque or Angkor Wat were destroyed.

I studies art history thru high school and a bit in college of course we touched architecture as well - it was pretty amazing the engineering in the old buildings and the size. If I remember correctly it took several decade to completed this building. Every era was known for it contribution to structure. I belief this building in particular was most known for the flying buttress structure. It's fascinating stuff an I'm motivated to revision my old studies and relearn how great arch lecture was and its importance. I'll new forget my art teacher Miss Clarke fascinating a patient woman. We studies art history during the spilt class and ever time the slide projector started up I would always fall asleep. Miss Clarke's response was always "don't brother him, let him sleep, he must be tired" lol she was one of those great teachers you new forget

I lived at Oxford and Cherry Hill for a couple years while going to Western - that was a while back so I'm sure it's changed a lot. My wife's uncle owned Shorten's of London (men's clothing store) on Richmond for a few decades - not sure if it's still there as he sold it a few years back after some health issues.

Boss is sending me to my hometown of London this week for a site visit. One of the locations is at Richmond and Oxford. Sent me down memory lane, feeling a bit nostalgic. When my allowance would allow, I would hop on the Oxford bus and go to McCormick's Hobby Centre. Sadly, it's no longer there. :(

Against docs suggestion, been pushing my knee exercises / stretches harder, seeing improvements. Felt good enough, stroll around the block seemed like a good idea, knee said otherwise at about the half way point n puffed up like a balloon by the time I got home. Maybe regroup with more exercise push n try it again in a day or so. Still a bunch better vs where I was a week ago so life is goooooooooooooood.

Listen to your body, it will tell you when you've had enough. Don't be a hero though, the only one that will suffer for it is you.

Speaking of exercising, I do very regularly but I don't feel like I need to share that with the world. It has nothing to do with your post ZR, just made me think of something that pushes my buttons. What the fuck is it with people that post after workout selfies? They don't look a bit different, just a sweatier version. It's a pet peeve of mine. I have many.

How the fuck does one get a license and not know how to keep in their lane? I say this because in my condo there is one lane in and one lane out.

He wants to come out exactly in the middle of the ramp so what does he do? He fucking leans on the horn to tell me to move and I am in my lane! I will post a video shortly. Sorry for my rant.

2 years. I am now trying to fix all the issues that made me hate driving it in hopes that I can finally find some contentment with the damn thing. Steering/front end feel sucks, drivability fucking sucks, all the unfinished stuff or rushed together last minute odds and ends on the car drive me nuts. We'll see, if after button up all the loose ends I still don't like driving it I'm buying something else.

I think once the fox is sold... I'll sell some tools as well. I don't enjoy tinkering that much anymore. I dread having to pull the motor to fix an oil leak, which is an easy job since I have all the tools to do it easily.

Today dropped off the mustang at Bruce's to get the hood painted and then my brother and I went to the states and picked up my new trans. It was incredibly well packed and CBI was awesome.
Had lunch and came back, boarder guy was into cars and somehow waved us by even after being honest with the value.
Can't wait to get a couple more pieces and go visit Rick!

I remember when so called climate scientists said the great lakes would dry up in our lifetime... now they're saying flooding is due to climate change? lol Easier for me to compare climate change to religion than treat it as science (from both perspectives).

But man, I don't want to bitch about the rain because it's an inconvenience for most of us while for some it's a disaster however this is starting to get depressing.

Good thing I don't have time and/or space for another project

What happened to the SNC scandal and how did the Libs make it go quiet so quick? What happened to the woman Trudeau groped? how did they make her go away? Where's Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott? How did they get so quiet so quick? No i don't make a habit of following the news because it infuriates me do much.

The two girls are still active and may likely form their own party for the next election - last week it seems like JWR was campaigning at a function out west. The rest havent a clue I think SNC is still active but not much happening yet there... It drives me nuts to but I'm really interested to see what happens to SNC and JWR....

I'm waiting to see how David Lametti tries to slip the DPA to SNC without anyone noticing. I don't envy his job.

So I don't drive like a douche too often in the stang. Basically within the speed limit 90% of the time. But I find cops in unmarked cars follow me for a bit. One this morning felt like he was baiting me by tailgating.

On the 407 I was going 115 and an unmarked charger followed for a bit too, he kept it at a pace that was about 4 cars behind me, pretty consistent until I exited the highway. Maybe he was waiting for me to race someone or something lol

Law of averages. For every mild mannered Mustang man (fuck I love alliteration ) there's at least a dozen lead foot's who wouldn't hesitate to drag race 95 year old Mildred in her hover round.

Aren't a lot of the flooded homes built on flood plains?

looks like global warming got a local head start at the Chaudière Bridge

Rivers gonna Rive... it's all normal. People will build houses next to active volcanoes and blame climate change when it erupts. lol

Don't get into debt folks, we may be part of a great depression era financial crisis. Trudeau getting re-elected will certainly seal our fate. That's on my mind... that and WTF is that glowing ball in the sky?

At least u r getting paid
I’m thinking maybe it would have been better if I went in to work today even for free, High Commander had an endless list of duties. She should be careful though; cause that 25 yr old is looking more and more attractive at this point lol ( u know I’m just kidding)

Crashing in a hotel before a training seminar tomorrow. Can’t for the life of me figure out why the person in the floor above needs to make a trip from one end of their room to the other ever 3.5 minuets or so at 11:50 at night I also can’t figure out how they manage to stop their feet so hard while doing it.

Starting to think it might be an actual giant up there

I really don't miss living in apartments lol

Stompy neighbours upstairs, stupid large wet dogs in elevators, loud neighbours left and right, kids running and screaming in the hallways, stupid people clogging the garbage chute, cigarette smoke coming in from the neighbours balcony...

Nope, I'd suicide if I had to go back to an apartment...

Saw a big Mustang cruise in Niagara area yesterday. Was doing a wine/food pairing event in Twenty Valley area and saw at least 40-50+ stangs cruise by while I was at Vieni Estates. OMC event I believe?

I don’t know if understand the etiquette to this stuff , do they shuttle you around and is it all you can drink lol & do they limit you to the pulled pork samiches :hammered: and I guess you need a place to crash :D

See I think they’d ban me

LOL! They offer a "driver's passport" so they get the food item with a mocktail/non-alcoholic drink so others can get the regular food/wine tasting passport. They are mini-servings (about the size of a slider). Most places will gladly offer you extra wine tastings so as long as you're not driving.....



This looks like a good service but it doesn't appear they offer weekend service yet ::waiting:

That's my name....so yes?

Nah, the passports are $45 and $30 (driver) each on the west side of the St. Kitts skyway and a few bucks more on the east side. It's a great deal and not well known yet - same type of thing in California would run well over +$100.
