I was actually thinking of Ringworld when I wrote that. I don’t remember hardly anything about the plot but the world itself was a cool concept.

I got it figured out. First, you use an alloy of adamantium and mithril for strength. Then, instead of one tower, you put them at intervals around the equator and then link them with a ring at the top. That puts us in the cool-planet with Saturn because rings are badass. You might now be worrying that one ring is not…

At least the money made from beer sales could be used to fund more security presence.

The problem is that if there is no real controversy, then there is nothing to scream about.

I would like to see a lane discipline campaign. There’s nothing worse that somebody trundling along the QEW at 110 kmh in the left lane. That just irritates the folks who are going to speed and they make risky maneouvers and pass on the right.

Small town judges are paragons of virtue and are NEVER complicit in traffic ticket writing for revenue schemes.

Excellent narrative. 

I’ve seen a company that is doing this with a semi trailer. Its a huge battery and the sides are solar panels that fold up. The idea is to tow them to disaster areas or possibly large outdoor events.

Good analysis. I remember finding an old Gov’t fleet report on the merits of gas trucks vs. diesel and the gas came out ahead. It’s an interesting read, and actually not as old as I had thought.

That’s fixed in later Subies. In my 2019, the rear camera overrides any other screen functionality or messaging.

Niagara, down near Ft. Erie. If you’re ever in the area let me know!

I didn’t realize you were in Ontario! What region?

We don’t have to rent. I certainly don’t, and never will.

Exactly, most folks know that a 535i is bigger and better than a 335i. In all reality, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer ride on the same chassis and have the same body (roughly) so they are more like trim levels than separate models.

In Ontario, it has been common for people to rent water heaters. They charge you $40-70/month based on size and type and then guarantee replacement if it ever quits working. They make it hellish to get out of the agreements. I had to work to get out of agreements in houses I bought. Yep, they transfer to the new…
