#Manufacturing #China #ToolAndDie This is an old video, and done in the typical propaganda style of American exceptionalism of the era, but is interesting to watch. Even in 1953 it was understood how important tool & die makers are to the manufacturing industry. youtu.be/QU6nsfoNWDI?...

#Poilievre #MichaelMa No he wasn’t you ass. He was elected to best represent the people in his riding. And clearly they aren’t being represented by slogans and rage farming.

#MicroPenis #PavementQueen I found the smallest penis in BC and I didn’t even need a magnifying glass to do so.

@tinybeaches.bsky.social Time to brag a little. Burnaby recently installed this pedestrian/cyclist bridge to cross the #1 highway. A significant expense at around $25 million. youtu.be/wCtmyYrymqs?...

What a fucking god damn piece of shit. 🤬

WTF is it with Forbes recently posting all these BS “security” articles? Too much in this article so I’ll only comment on one: Their claim Apple is dragging their feet on RCS encryption and that Google has encryption. This is false. Google uses their own proprietary version of encryption added…

I hope they’re stupid enough to release them with the names of people they hate (like any possible Democrats) while protecting their own and watching it backfire on them. I’d bet $$$ that anyone named would spill the beans on others who were redacted but they know were there.

Repost: There are 400+ vehicle fires resulting in 1.5 fatalities every single day in the US. You never see them on the news. But a single EV catches fire it’s suddenly front-page news. It’s the same with Waymo and accidents. There’s a coordinated effort to prevent these technologies from adoption.

Not for the next 30 days. Canada suspended EV rebates but GM has their own until Jan 2, 2026. $7,000 off most models. A base Equinox EV (513kms range) is now $41K, $2k less than the EV5 Light with only 335kms range. But the real deal is the Blazer SS at $70K. Cheapest 600HP car around.

QTP with an album you’d rate a perfect 10/10.

@behindbluesk-eyes.bsky.social Seen this one yet? 😉

Absolutely disgusting. They shouldn’t just think about criminal charges. They need to file them. This is outright fraud lining their own family’s pockets at the expense of the vulnerable. 🤬😡 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

These articles don’t tell the whole truth. It’s EXTREMELY difficult to hack or break into an iPhone, esp if you’re updated to the latest version of iOS. So difficult it can cost 6 figures just to get into a single iPhone. The idea authorities can simply plug your iPhone into their machine and…

#280SL #Mercedes 1969 Mercedes 280SL engine bay.

#EV #ICE #InkjetPrinters Gas powered vehicles are the automotive equivalent of the inkjet printer. Once you buy one you’re locked into purchasing gasoline (at ever increasing prices) for the rest of the life of the vehicle. 😉

#Dashcam #Tesla Another asshole Tesla driver. Vancouver. SN9-74H

Sure. And truck drivers could travel further & make more money if they didn’t have to stop to sleep.

What could go wrong? Tesla is light years behind Waymo.

#Tipping #Coco Picked up some bubble tea at Coco tonight and was surprised by the tip options on the payment terminal. With so many places having the minimum at 15%, 18% or even 20% (requiring you to manually enter a smaller number) they had tip options of 5%, 8%, 10% and 15%.

@behindbluesk-eyes.bsky.social Crossing the SeaBus bridge downtown this morning and saw this. Looks surprisingly clean for a locomotive.

Such a simple drawing and yet we all know exactly who it is.

One can only hope, but I’ve seen far too many things that should have ended Trump and they had no effect. His base is so radical even when faced with evidence many will just believe it’s a Dem ploy using fake AI pictures to smear their deal leader.

Well, my father was an alcoholic and my siblings and I avoided alcohol so we wouldn’t up like him. Just sayin’

#PrinceAndrew #Epstein Out of the all the men who raped/assaulted underage girls the only one who’s really paid any price is Prince Andrew. He settled out-of-court with Giuffre and has now faced additional consequences (like giving up his titles). The guy should just come clean. It’s not like…

#EV #Recall So there’s a recall for our Equinox EV. A bad batch of Continental tires. We’re just over 40K on ours and knowing our luck they’ll find our tires aren’t faulty. Here’s to hoping for a free set of (expensive) tires. 😉

#TallShips Saw this on my way to work docked in North Vancouver. Did a quick search and found it’s the Norwegian Statsraad Lehmkuhl.

Some great stuff in this…

#CarterHart #VegasGoldenNights Vegas agreed to sign Carter Hart after acquittal in his (and 4 other players) sexual assault trial. This is a bad move. Being found not guilty doesn’t absolve you from any wrongdoing. Waiting for fans to show up at games with signs like “Believe Women”.

#Thanksgiving #Stuffing The start to a great turkey dinner. Grandma’s 80+ year old recipe for stuffing. No raisins, apples, peaches, bacon, fat or any other unnecessary ingredient to fancy up a perfectly good basic dish. Onions, celery, butter and seasoning. Making an extra large batch because…

#Rush #AnikaNilles #Tour So it was mentioned Rush is also going to add a keyboard player for their 2026 tour. Any guesses on who they might pick? My guess is Gowan.

This is great news, but don’t forget the other Carney announcement. 😉 The school food program is also now going to be permanent. “This is Canada. No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from”

#InjectorBarbie Two unlicensed sisters are doing Botox and other filler procedures without a license. You have to read this article to understand the absurdity of it all. Like Uber’ing over some super glue from 7-11 to glue shut a skin puncture leaking fluid. WTAF? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#ScottMoe #DanielleSmith Fuck you Scott Moe for your stupid comment that there’s no BC coast. If that’s the case then there’s no Alberta or Saskatchewan “prairies” and we can start building wind & solar. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#Poilievre #Religion #Violence Poilievre trying a Republican tactic of getting evangelical support by making a claim they’re the most persecuted. Oh, and that he’ll do something about it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

#Cyclists #Pedestrians #Drivers After my first few days of commuting to work on an e-scooter, I have some observations about the behavior of others. Basically, Vancouver is filled with assholes. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians all guilty. For this rant “cyclists” refers to all rideable devices.

#QuadLock #3M Don’t trust a quad lock mount that uses 3M adhesive to attach to your phone. Cleaned my Pixel 8 Pro thoroughly and applied the lock as per directions. Riding over the Second Narrows bridge at 30km/h when my phone detaches from my scooter and skids along the path. 🤬😡

#Apple #EU #Fraud You can’t make this stuff up. First the EU forces Apple to allow third party stores (where history has shown bad actors often go to get around rules). Now they want to know what Apple is doing to prevent fraud AFTER forcing less secure third party stores onto consumers.

My annual complaint about pumpkin pie. You could take a piece of cardboard and add pumpkin spice, sugar and whipped cream and it would be edible. Without those ingredients pumpkin is gross.

#Android #Pixel #Scooter Planned on commuting today with my new e-scooter, but f&$king Google/Android decided to throw a wrench into things. iPhone pairs and works perfectly without issues. Pixel 8 Pro? Appears to work until you mount it to the scooter. Then, in typical Google “let’s suck up as…

#Tesla #Doors Funny, I was one of the people who investigated a fire in North Vancouver 2 years ago where the occupant couldn’t get out because of the manual release placement. Now they’re going to do something? insideevs.com/news/772636/...

#Kimmel #Strike The entertainment industry has several unions. We all remember the writers strike awhile back. I say all unionized staff at ABC & CBS should walk off the job. Shut down every show they have. See how they feel when someone takes them off the air.

#CharlieKirk #NHL So people are being fired for simply telling the truth about what a disgusting person Charlie Kirk was while 5 NHL players who committed actual disgusting behavior are reinstated. Make it make sense.

I had to look up who NOLS was and spent some time looking at what they do. Based on that I have no issue with them taking an extended camping trip through Canada. A few things I learned about them: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

#E-Scooter #Apollo Finally decided which scooter I wanted and ordered the Apollo Phantom 2.0. Yes it’s a larger scooter and a bit pricey, but for my longer commute it’ll work great. I plan to rack up a lot of mileage on this.

Poilievre is worried for his safety. He can fuck off all the way to hell. It’s people like him and his party that sow discontent. You make your bed you lie in it. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Hillary Clinton’s “when they go low we go high” slogan is pure bullshit. That only works when you’re dealing with civilized people who follow societal norms/rules. Dictators don’t get removed by strongly worded letters and speeches. It’s going to take violence to remove Trump. Dems better realize.

Need to repost this as much as possible. Those f&$king Republicans barely said a word when Melissa & Mark were murdered and Yvette & John Hoffman were shot.

So stoked to see this. An absolute must-buy for me. So much smaller/lighter than my Z9, uses all my existing Z lenses and has a great built-in monitor so I don’t need an external one. I can fully deck this out with all my gear and still come in well under the weight limit for my RS4 Pro.

#Apple #iPhone Tomorrow Apple will announce the new iPhone and likely several other products. Besides the usual discourse the most important announcement will be the prices. Does Apple increase prices due to tariffs, absorb tariffs to hold prices the same or split the difference somehow?
