    Hey MJ, I recently discovered that you can get sheets of UV glass that is damn near invisible. It looks like it is not even there, zero reflection. You should see about getting some for that beauty!

    My 5 year old just watched this with me and he says "but daddy he can break his car!"

    I don't give my kids phones or tablets. They steal my wife's from time to time but it's not often. Out at the grocery store or restaurants? Zero phones. I've trained them to point at families on their phones and criticize them. They also point out people walking across the street with their...

    Or when the government decides that a sport you enjoyed for years is suddenly dangerous and anyone who owns equipment for said sport is now a criminal until they hand it in to the government collection agency. Anyone who does not comply by such-and-such a date will have their smart home meter...

    A new guitar just showed up. I was eyeballing a model of Ibanez for about 2 years now and no local ones I liked would ever show up. Every now and then they were listed in Vancouver or Toronto, but always asking $1800 or so. I thought for giggles I would see what there is on eBay. Well holy...

    Sounds about right. I sold my old projector on a local market recently. The title was literally the model name (BenQ 4k projector, TK800), and the description was how many hours it had on the bulb, and asking them to google the model number for specs since I don't have them memorized. I had...

    When I used to do backpacking in the mountains I would walk about 20-30km over a few days with about 45lbs on my back. Good strong boots were a MUST. Non negotiable. The first did I did it with sub-par boots almost killed me. Find boots with good ankle support designed to lace up and support...

    You guys are all crazy. I am going back to slumping over a pint of ice cream (who am I kidding, its a gallon) on the couch. Don't forget the fake cheese dusted nacho cheese chips to scoop that ice cream with, and wash it all down with a few Cokes!

    Well this is interesting. A bunch of guys doing a project in USA (short term) that I work with were turned away at the border over the weekend (airport). This is work and travel we do all the time, and it has never been an issue before. I guess they were told they need a specific work visa now...

    If I want to protect myself, I do something for myself. I don't expect other people to do it for me. I'm not expecting to be healthier because my neighbor skips doughnuts.

    Lol. I like how that's a thing now. I remember when washing your hands and putting mystery substances in your body was to protect yourself. Not anymore! Whatever ad agency came up with that deserves a raise!

    Parents pretend to want what is best for their children, but then they just do whatever they are told to do. Want 100% undeniable proof? Just go spend 2 minutes in literally any grocery store in the world, and look in the shopping carts of parents. Parents pretend to care. What parents...

    I am not going to pretend that bitcoin has no top, or that bitcoin will even exist in the near future, but the rest of the quote is definitely real. For anyone who doubts that just go look at the current dollars value, and look at how eroded purchasing power is. I got big into silver in like...

    I Call BS. There is no way the 1st world has a tax ratio that low. I am guessing this does not take into consideration various mandatory taxes in the form of registries, corporate capture, departments and accountants required to be compliant with tax laws, goods taxes that are charged on...

    I think I got a salt called Baja Gold. It was what was recommended to me. I also put a shake or two of Himalayan salt in all the glasses of water that I have. I have an RO filter now, so I drink that water with the salt in it.

    Funny how the topic has shifted to salts... I just had this conversation with my family. I used to be a chronic water drinker. I would easily drink 4L of water a day, I was always thirsty. About a year ago a friend told me that the biggest single change he made in his life was taking a spoon...

    I just "upgraded" my 4k BenQ projector to a Epson Laser projector. This thing was about $7,000 USD when new, and I got it for $925 Canadian all in after selling my old one. Not too shabby I figure. This laser one is insane. It is quiet, you can barely even hear it when it is turned on with...
