Shouldn't this really be called "TrumpNOcare"?

Re: Canadian Forces Sniper makes world record kill shot....

That's how you take the bad guys out. A gun is completely agnostic as to good and bad. A sniper, be he employed by the military or some other group is nothing more than a paid killer unthinkingly doing some even more remoded persons bidding. So better stop the festivities. Ahhhhh bovine feces!!!! I...

Canadian Forces Sniper makes world record kill shot....

A sniper with Canada's elite special forces in Iraq has shattered the world record for the longest confirmed kill shot in military history at a staggering distance of 3,450 metres. https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/canadian-elite-special-forces-sniper-sets-record-breaking-kill-shot-in-i...

Re: Trump's Accomplishments

The most massive, and I mean really massive.... huge.... never seen before, it's the best most wonderful thing Trumpster has done is to give late-night comedians an endless supply of fresh material. Every joke needs a punch-line and the USA is now the punchline for the rest of the world as we watch ...

Re: Remembering the USA's Invasion of Britain

LOL.... didn't have much success in burning out the British on their own soil, but damn, the British sure had success burning out the Americans on their soil when they came and burnt down the Whitehouse!!!

Re: Has the US started a trade war with Canada ?

Oh hell, the softwood lumber dispute has been going on for 35+ years now, since long before Trump. It's flared up quite serious 4 times in those 35 years (this is the 4th flareup) and like the other times it will eventually resolve itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_s...

Re: When's the last time you were carded?

LOL, the legal drinking age was 18, but at 16-years-old I was well over 6'2" and about 190 lbs with a mustache so nobody ever asked me.
Size does have it's advantages!

Re: MOAB vs. the Halifax Explosion

ROTFLMAO....... the hubris of the Americans and the MOAB. I'm so sick and tired of hearing in the last week about how the Americans have dropped the largest bomb (non-nuclear) ever used in combat, blah, blah, blah, blah..... I guess when you can't be first at something, you have to be loud and TELL ...

Re: 'Trump slump' hitting air travel

I can tell you with absolute certainty that when I use the popular airline travel booking sites, I specifically look for flights that don't have layovers/connections within the USA. The absolute HASSLE of clearing (or pre-clearing) US Customs/Border Control here in Canada because I have to change pl...

Re: Need help related to my job

Is anyone else going to say words about how absurd 60 days is as a notice period? Not really. It depends on the position the person holds, degree of responsibility, ease of finding a replacement, etc. Also if you've been a long-term employee and been fairly treated by your company is it not ethical...

Re: Formula One Post Bernie Ecclestone

In my opinion, the single biggest issue that is changing in F1 and will ultimately kill the sport is pay-per-view. When people are able to watch F1 on free TV (advertising supported), then the sport develops a "following" and those people are the people who will then decide to go see a rac...

You mean like this? These run in Havana Cuba and are used for sightseeing tours. Pictured travelling up the Prado de Marti in the top photo, and along the shoreline Malecon in the bottom photo.

FBI Director Comey is Eating Crow!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!! Well FBI Director James Comey is eating crow in breaking news. Seems there is absolutely NOTHING NEW in all he emails that he announced last week were under review. At the very least, his head should roll and he should be fired for the nonsense he has thrown the election into over ...

OMG, this is so friggin FAKE!!!! Someone down front held up a sign that the guy beside him didn't like and a scuffle broke out. Some voice out of nowhere yells "he's got a gun" and of course the reaction occurs. But the Secret Service, police, etc are all reporting that NO WEAPON WAS FOUND...

Re: 1 Week To Go, Thank Goodness!

Herb Brooks got the 1980 US Hockey team to bond by being their enemy and uniting the whole team against him, and we all know what happened in Lake Placid. I can see a similar thing happening wi...

Re: 1 Week To Go, Thank Goodness!

Oh come on guys.... the real fun only starts on Wednesday morning November 9th. That's when Trump will rally his troops with cries of a rigged election that was stolen from him and that he will not accept the results and will "encourage" his troops to take action. http://i3.photobucket.com...

Re: Self Driving Cars

You'd have to include motorcycles too. That would upset a good chunk of people you probably want to avoid getting upset. Part of the joy of motorcycling is being out in the air and just driving around for the fun of it. Sure a lot of bikers ride their bikes to work or to run errands, but those same...

Re: Tread thread

While poster #2 is absolutely correct in his tread wear indicators, I also see that the OP appears to live in Minnesota. If the OP had 45k miles on the car six months ago, it's likely at 50k+ miles now and any tire that has that much mileage on it will be an abysmal failure the first dusting of snow...

Re: Self Driving Cars

Someone has to take the plunge and try to bring to market an autonomous vehicle. My gut feeling is that Apple is going to be involved; either as a partner with a major player like Mercedes or even on its own. Knowing Apple though, they'll probably remove the gas tank nozzle and expect you to fill '...

Re: Self Driving Cars

The only way that any form of self-driving vehicles (cars, trucks, busses, etc) could possibly work in the modern world is if you also banned every single manually driven car. Sure the computers can do a great job of applying rules and algorithms to programmed driving situations. But add manually dr...

Re: Updates on the US election: Who is more likely to win?

Ok, I'll put onion juice in one of your eyes and cayenne peppers in your other eye. Which feels worst? The answer is America is screwed no matter which one wins.

On the other hand, the SX-70 type polaroids were completely sealed and had a chemical pouch on one end of the photo that was squeezed betwe...

Re: F1 - Belgian GP, Spa-Francorchamps

These engine penalties are really ridiculous. They should dock constructor championship points instead. I'll tell you what the real farce is. Hamilton is reportedly using 30 grid penalty tokens for his car. But as the grid is only 20 cars deep, he starts 20th but uses up his full 30 penalties. IMHO...

Re: Car leasing - why so popular these days?

Dealers are pushing leasing because a 4 year lease payment is a lower monthly number than a 4 year payment for ownership. This is due to the residual by-back value of the vehicle. Far too many people these days don't even look at the total cost of a loan/lease, and are only concerned if they can aff...

To become PM you must first run and win a seat in Parliament as an MP (Member of Parliament).

This whole thread is beginning to have an odoriferous stench of a troll thread with no real redeemable value.

Re: Radical MALE Extremists

Sorry, but this whole thread is based on a bogus hypothesis. First off, making references to the US military is silly. Soldiers only fight when ORDERED to fight. When a higher military authority (POTUS, Congress, etc?) declares war/conflict, etc. Eighteen-year-olds don't start their own wars, nor in...

Re: Altitude to Use For Aerial Shoot

2,000 to 3,000 AGL looks about right. You also want to shoot as early in the morning as you can. Several reasons for this. First is the air is clearer with less haze, the air is much smoother before thermal convection starts, and lastly, with the sun at a lower angle you get shadowing which enhances...
