We’ve fallen for counterfeit Chinese bullshit recently (or maybe not so recently). I’m assuming it’s Chinese… Finished of the open roll of parchment paper recently, so opened the box on the shelf that was below it to carry on with the baking project. As soon as I touched it, I had one of those...

This video is worth watching at least once. Shelley Carroll indicated that the city required another $250 million from the federal government to help cover the cost of housing asylum claimants in Toronto. The city threatened homeowners with an additional six per cent levy on their tax bill in...

Empathy. Mines upside-down ‘cuz it’s February & a Winter dumping zone to be cleaned up in the Spring as usual. Why not? Not much extra work at the time, & buried under the top out’a sight, out’a mind, and it would never not (intentional double Negative) be strong enough, & appealed to my sense...

Trans people in the US are under more threat that Americans drafted into a Military to go and fight in a foreign country, in your example being Vietnam? In 2022, 32 (at least) transgender people were murdered in the US. I can’t pull up the same year for data for soldiers drafted to go to...

So, roughly, $88/annum/person in Ontario, regardless of age to taxpayer status.

Empathy. 64’ of shelving, not counting the 16’ under the shelf-wall itself, and always full of “stuff” beyond beyond… …with an “L” shaped attached bench at 40” height carrying onto the tool chest, with a buried reinforced block for a future bench vise…when I find the perfect minimum 10”...

I use 3/4” plywood for bench tops & shelves, & all wood screws (Robertson) with not a single nail anywhere, trussed every foot or so. Even before the tops go on, they’re ridiculously overbuilt knowing it’ll all be buried & invisible, and I’ll not regret not overbuilding them at some future...

If done right, they don’t have to be though. On the right side is a “floating bench” with no visible legs (but the weight of the bench and anything on it is still transferred to the floor) done cleanly. I know I can stack hundreds of pounds of whatever onto it without a sag or a creak or any...

Probably a shorter drive to the corner gun store with their own “open-carry” permit. “Yeah, I’d like a dozen eggs, a Glock, a 26 of Jim Beam, a LB of bacon, and a pack of Marboro’s please. Going to go home and make breakfast.”

Honestly, I thought, keeping a bat behind your door was normal? I do (nice tight, compact aluminum), & my father, kept a five iron behind his. It was the only golf club he owned, and I have no idea where it came from. Yeah, seriously, have they even thought things through? Until you’re on your...

Probably 80% of the stuff on our shelves shouldn’t be kept either… but that’s a story for another thread. Just because we have the storage space doesn’t mean it has to be absolutely full plus plus…

Ours probably improve the structural integrity of the outbuilding as a whole, & it’s a new garage within the last decade or so…& they’re background with a clean fit & finish to their construction and permanence. I just thought it funny in her question above.

Refugee status? From America? OK. …& a debt collection agency and her former landlord? So an Economic Refugee? The ex-roommate with a gun sounds like a seriously bad life choice and a US legal system issue…not a Canadian immigration issue. Both Canadian Federal election years. Interesting...

The weather is kind of cool over in Iran at this point, but it is still only the beginning of February & an El Niño year which creates weird & interesting weather patterns each cycle. I just can’t recall the exact name of the guy who interprets the Moslem God book for Torch light, & I’m too...

Good morning Torch light. It’s Sunday morning & I just can’t bring myself to read though a couple of feet of your Bible according to Ally Bin Whatever, as I’m assuming it all just circles back to Israel is bad and Jews are evil, right? How Dare Israel react to Oct 7th? What a pack of Bastards...

My Girlfriend could hear me listening to the above video and asked, “Is that the guy with the bad shelves?” Not is that the guy with the beard or is that Beau? Guess it’s not just me. 😉

Yes. I was hoping that with: When asking: That could circle back to the thread topic. Yes, they are two different things. Government corruption, leading to murder and government corruption, not leading to murder. Two very different things. Yes, I chose to post a link from a newspaper...

It was the 2019 & 2021 Federal Elections that were the catalyst for this inquiry that the majority of Canadians wanted, & the Government went to “heroic” (?) efforts to avoid. …& We’ll soon-ish heading towards another Federal Election probably about Oct 20th, 2025 but hopefully sooner: …&...

Deflection & Hitler. Ok. It is what it is.

So, there wasn’t government misinformation & disinformation then? Bank accounts & assets were not frozen or seized? Zexi Le didn’t initiate & have in place the court injunction banning horns from being used in the first handful of days of that protest? The truckers, in protesting heavy handed...
