What’s an appropriate punishment when your 8 year old cracks your 75 inch screen?

Everyone is dropping to their knees over Carnage cozying up to the UK and members of the EU. But answer me this, "How is it cheaper for the consumer to ship product halfway around the world than it is to simply truck it across our border to the US?" 🤭

@JoMacFreedom @PrairieVeteran @xpmike Is that your answer to any difficult question? Canada is at the behest of the US. The US sets the main terms. Canada cannot power from the bottom. Saying elbows up is a good illustration of your position.

@PrairieVeteran Tariffs are obstructive. The US doesn't want our shit anymore. It's better to ship somewhere than nowhere. Why is this so difficult for people to understand?

@NoFrankingWay Plus install. I doubt that it would ever recover its own value. I had a guy pinch a $20 bill in his fingers, I was instructed to setup an open pinch at the lower end of the bill. If I could catch it with the pinch when he released it, I could keep it. 100% failure rate. Same.

0% change you get 60% recovery on shower drain heat - your drain pipe is 4” with a shower head flow of 2 GPM. Your pipe isn’t full. So the heat you’re regaining is from 90% air in the drain pipe. Air has 10-100 heat transfer value compared to liquid at 500-10000 (units are W/m²·K) For this to work you would need a liquid trap on the order of 4 feet tall. Good luck keeping that clean.

I’ve built a school and a couple of industrial projects that use this methodology. Interesting to see it going residential

@ShangguanJiewen Oil should be used for more productive things than heating and hauling our asses around. A gasoline crisis is incredibly foolish at this point in history

He’s winding down the war and looking for an off-ramp but will blow up all their power plants unless they open the Strait which we don’t need and will open itself anyway which is why he might send ground troops to the country he already blew off the map.

@MoneyJrod I have bought a number of smashed vehicles and have had years of low cost reliable transportation. I bought this non running, smashed FJR for $500. I had it running well within 30 minutes. A few bolt on parts and it's a killer bike

Whatever, you said you worked i a support industry, in CANADA. Not the U.S. again, dont care. Like we couldnt make the exact same shit here and just embargo them from Canada.... In fact we DO make all the same shit here. Why the hell are we buying shit from Canada that we make here already? This is why Democrats shouldnt be allowed to vote.

@billsmachine @ZacksJerryRig Are you shitting me? Right to reapir is non existent in America. Your industry is why it costs an American farmer $13,000 for a "Tech" to come and push a fucking button, because a "Sensor" told them they needed to.

@GeorgeRoush I work at a skilled trades school in Ontario. This is such a great story. It looks like they did a solid job on your car. Well done.

Oh this blew up. Little more about this car and why I have it: The Car: This is a 1971 Lincoln Mark III. It was the final and highest of the 1960s Lincoln continental coupes. Designed by Lee Iacoca, it is a 1930s throwback and set the standard for american luxury. It has a Ford 460 V8 at 365hp with 500lbft of torque. It seats 5 with two doors. It is black with a brown interior, and notably has anti-lock brakes and a power sunroof. This car was purchased new from a dealer in Troy Michigan by a World War II (Europe) veteran in early 1971. He used it to take his wife to church and to the gentleman's club he owned. He passed in 2018, and this car was slated to be scrapped if not sold. It sold at minimum bid to a Ford enthusiast who didn't have anywhere to store it, so he put it in his back yard. In 2021, the city of Pontiac allegedly declared the car a nuisance and ordered it removed or destroyed. I bought the car, previously non running, got it running, and drove it to Ohio through a snow storm. That was December 2021. About me and why I bought it: My grandfather bought a Mark III in the 1990s, and he ultimately gave it to me when I was 15. The car was a wreck, and I couldn't afford to keep it. I sold his car when I was a teenager and deeply regretted it. I promised my grandpa that I would buy it back, and when I found out I couldn't, I promised to buy a *similar* car. I bought this one while I was a cadet at USAFA and showed it to my grandfather. I promised him that I would restore it and that he would ride in it to my wedding. He agreed that he would stay healthy until my wedding. I loaned it to the school so that students could have the same opportunity I did. Unfortunately I am still unmarried, and my grandfather died before the car was finished. I will bring it home next week and continue restoring it so that someday I can do for my grandkids what my grandfather did for me. The school that restored this car was Toledo Public Schools, Waite Highschool Auto Body Program. Didn't they do an incredible job?

I loaned my 1971 Lincoln to a highschool as a teaching aid. They were learning classic restoration on it. Look at the miracle they pulled off:

@TheTyronus @CTVAtlantic The government has always been in the affordable housing business except for the last couple of decades. Maybe we would be in better shape if they would have maintained the policy

@NoFrankingWay I always thought that Mueller just did a report. I didn't realize that he charged and/or prosecuted Trump.
