Still live here. For the last 40 years. And haven't ever seen a rat. Now mice is a different story. Dont often see them running around but dang it, by the amount of mouse shite in …

That, plus interest rates jumping and run away inflation have cooled all auto sales.

I went to college with a guy who said he was going to build a submarine. I thought it was a bit out there, but he was a driven guy. 40 years later I had a random call from his brot…

100% agree. As a former airline employee at a major airline, I've given up flying altogether. I've heard the 'but driving to the airport is more dangerous than flying' argument a z…

Am 62 and have a large Meccano set in storage. All metal pieces, no plastic, and no "kits", just booklets of projects you could build from a simple cart to a huge gantry crane. Loo…

Judging by the number of silly youtubes of bozos driving their Teslas while pretending to sleep, there's definitely a slight extra danger factor for a car that advertises as 'full …

Well, to be fair, the 'high demand' was at a much lower price, and it was also four years ago, when money was flowing much faster and interest rates were rock bottom. Things have t…

I like the design. Not quite sure how they figure its going to reduce THAT much space as the video seems to show a single motor WITH controller and inverter being removed and four …

My personal result was quitting 10 years on reddit and giving up my worthless but substantial karma. The next result is that I noticed I became less argumentative in real life and …

Ah. Its nice to know my worst nightmare has already been in a video game from 25 years ago. I guess I'll just go outside and stare at squirrels for awhile.

I'd go all in on the most nefarious - hacked data could be used to design a virus that only kills people with one particular genetic trait. I'm pretty sure there's an uber dystopia…

Even worse though, is that it doesnt even have to be you submitting your data. Several killers have been caught because their family members have submitted DNA and the killers have…

Was a principal about 15 years ago when the "whole language" approach to learning reading and writing was a fad. Had a Grade 1 teacher who emphatically refused to even try it, she …

Its overdue. As a principal I used to ban phones in our school. Back before every kid had one. If they were caught playing on them or if it rang during class, the phone went to the…

The UK has been watching Canada. Our Prime Minister had people's bank accounts frozen and their vehicles impounded and hundreds charged with mischief for attending a peaceful, albe…

Well, the Aptera may be expensive but it sounds like the Squad wouldn't be much more than a high end electric bicycle, so not really.

The Squad is a great concept. But the problem in America is not great concepts. Its convincing the public, and therefore investors, that small, lightweight road machines are viable…

My Fiat 500e has been the lowest maintenance cost vehicle Ive ever owned. And Ive had approx 50 so far (Im a collector). In 5 years of ownership its cost me one 12v battery ($80) a…

SSD drive completely failed. Two regular computer stores said their software couldnt recover anything nor did putting it into another computer, and that it would have to go to a SS…

This site (which currently wont connect) was created by some redditors. I understand the sentiment, and the reasoning but I predict it will fail as did previous attempts to create …

I couldnt have written that any better. And THIS is why thousands of people showed up in downtown Ottawa and stayed for three weeks. Because we were disgusted and DEEPLY offended b…

This is exactly what I thought of when I saw "social media-induced illness": MSMI I saw this in the school I led, especially in young girls. One of them starts cutting, suddenly we…

I dont rent often but definitely go with Enterprise when I do. They are the only one left in my city that offers unlimited mileage and my typical trip is 1800 km round trip so it m…

Canada is going through the same type of censorship, but under the guise of promoting "Canadian content" As if our culture is in danger of disappearing if we cant watch "Canadian" …

People generally dont hang out that close to where the flow is active, however during the 2018 flow into Puna, there were a lot of people who got very close to it. Some wore gas ma…
