    Boeing whistleblower found dead.....

    NASA has decided not to use the starliner to return the 2 astronauts to earth and will instead wait for the next scheduled SpaceX rocket in February. https://apnews.com/article/boeing-starliner-space-defense-business-nasa-8e5f6414629efcc0a78d43fb9c778333

    rotella t6

    Supposedly there is a $40/pail rebate on T6 5w40 as well. But I've never tried it.

    Rail Shutdown

    Look at the wages on the table CN is offering. They get paid a hell of a lot better than most people in Canada, yet they are holding all other industries in this country hostage. https://www.cn.ca/en/news/2024/04/20240412-tcrc-update

    Jasper is on fire!

    And that doesn't include lost tourist revenues, for this year and at least a couple more to come before the town is rebuilt. Not to mention losses for the next 25 years because no one wants to come and see a burnt out wasteland. Insurance rates are going to see a jump again for next year...

    Rising costs prompt Canadians to rethink vehicle ownership

    To be honest I enjoyed not having a vehicle when we were in Europe last summer, granted public transit there is way better, but it was nice just having a bag full of belongings and a small backpack for day outings. Not having to worry about parking or any of the other stuff that goes along with...

    Jasper is on fire!

    Same thing happened with ATV bans under the Alberta NDP, they got away with it once to reduce fire risk, and then kept using it.

    Jasper is on fire!

    Unfortunately the town never will be the same. Nor will many of the attractions. Mt Edith Cavell was by far my favorite spot in that area, came across these pictures yesterday, heartbreaking to say the least. Hopefully the Alpine was spared, but not holding my breath.

    Starlink Mobile Questions

    The other issue is it sounds like all the version 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 satellites don't have Starlink to Cell capability. It's only the V2 minis that do, which at this point in time is less than 1/3 of the constellation. And given that the Falcon 9 rocket can only launch 24 of the V2 Minis at a...

    Rising costs prompt Canadians to rethink vehicle ownership

    I get that, but with the age of the internet and YouTube access to repair information is easier than ever. Short of the expense of owning a scan tool to diagnose engine lights and DTC's. Don't get me wrong, I'm in no rush to go out and dump $110k on a new truck or a $70k SUV for the wife, but...

    Rising costs prompt Canadians to rethink vehicle ownership

    Maybe peoples expectations have changed? Vehicles are definitely more expensive, but it seems a lot of people are reluctant to buy older used vehicles. There's almost 1800 cars for sale within 150km of Edmonton for less than $5000. If you can't scratch up $5k for a vehicle purchase you have...

    Crypto currencies 101.....for us neophytes.

    I'm still not convinced this is over, while it did break out below the support it rapidly bounced back. That volume is insane though, 158k in a 24hr period.

    Power outage

    You can, it's just going to lack the autostart capability of a generac, at least not without setting up your own kind of auto start transfer switch setup. Depends what you get too, some welders like an old 300D are limited to about 2000 watts AC power.
