did you know that you basically cannnot purchase a ferrari or Lambo stick anymore? Basically the only way to get it is through a very custom even more so expensive order. Paddle shifting in F1 completely changed that process...you know why...because just like the rest of the thread A computer is capable of depressing the clutch, rev matching your flywheel and engaging the clutch once again to make perfect gear shifts in a milisecond. Just watch an F1 drivers cockpit view they shift...the speed at which they can change gears going into and out of corners is stupid. You dont have the abiliity to do this, but a computer sure as heck does, and thus its faster. It sucks because I friggin love driving stick, but i havent driven a stick car since i sold my protege 4 years ago. It sucks but thats the reality of technology.

I think watching what has happened down south has sobered people up a bit. I dont think a single person here could imagine the horror (If we have any war vets reading this I am not referring to you)

I do have to chuckle at the pro gun enthusiasts that say we need less restrictions on fire arms and more abiliity to "defend" our homes by using firearms... Then we have the liberals proposing new legislation that works to make it more difficult to obtain registered legal weapons on people with valid gun licenses underogoin the apporpriate checks. Can anyone here please provide a statistic or example of a person in Canada being murdered with a legal valid weapon? The closest thing was that guy in Saskatchewan that shot intruders on his property. I would say that is a very far cry from a school shooting. I dont know the specific's of that event...I dont think anyone does, but I think we can all agree that your personal possessions like someones tomatos, or even a used car are not worth shooting and killing someone over...thats what insurance is for. Regardless...can we all not agree that as it currently stands Canada's gun control laws appear to be working almost perfectly? So why the hell do we even debate it? Why change anything. the system is working...it may not be perfect, but gun owners have guns and people aren't dying. No one here is dying from legally purchased weapons, meanwhile our friends in the states have multiple mass shootings per year with legally purchased weapons. The evidence is clear that we have things figured out pretty well apparently. Dont try and fix whats not broken. Illegal handguns are a whole other issue...they need stricter mandatory sentencing for these clowns...lock em up for 15 years on an attempted murder charge...plain and simple...you get caught carrying an illegal handgun...your intent is clearly to kill someone...boom 15 years bye bye. Iron i could only imagine what an SS soldier's pistol and holster collected from a european battlefield would be worth at auction. Holy crepe

faster, and more precisely. Its sensors and processor react faster than your brains capability to see the cow, realize that you need to brake, and then subsequently physically apply the brake. It would do all of this in a fraction of the time.

you lucky son of a gun!

pretty sure i have seen one at bass pro man, either that or id order one online. Just be wary that I wouldnt suggest running one fast down the lake. my 15hp tinner going 20 would knock it off regularly if i hit a wave etc. better to just toss it back in the boat when not stationary or going slow.

speed kills man on that matthews goal, forget how nice the finish was, look at the puck movement into the zone before that...if thats not a line clicking with a stupid amount of skill, I dont know what is. And the Leafs powerplay is getting close to impossible to defend. Marner is a puck distribution wizard. He forces you to make a read by pretending to shoot but then does the opposite of your read. winds up...you decide to defend shot or pass and he does the opposite. Because you have a man advantage theres always 1 outlet available and he gets to decide what one to choose. How do you defend against that? Its a beautiful thing to watch a guy process the game faster than other players. The most impressive guy for doing this kinda stuff is mcdavid, his goals are all scored where he just does something so fast that either the goalie or d man cant react quick enough. Last night he got a pass in the slot and stick handled so fast that the goalie was still in the process of flinching but the puck was already in the net. Youd think mcdavid had hit a one timer, but he collected the puck, stick handled to make the goalie begin thinking about making a save but then just put the puck in the net while the goalie was thinking for a half second.

look at those chemtrails

Finally the cold hard truth about my concept of why Toronto weather is friggin annoying in the winter. I always noticed that it seems to be windy as hell in Toronto all winter and then as soon as its gets stinkin hot and you need a breeze to cool you off mother nature cant even spare a fart to cool you down, Toronto is like a massive dead humid airmass. Sure enough this chart proves exactly what I thought. I gotta laugh at the kawartha anglers that complain about wind, on simcoe and georgian bay, wind is the rule not the exception. Anything under 30kmh during the afternoon in the summer is a nice calm day. Biggest game changer when it come sto wind is having a good spot lock on your trolling motor and subsequently having a powerful enough trolling motor to hold you there. Some of my all time days were the windiest. Bait balls stacked up against a wall with 20+lbs of bass lurking below it.

It actually sounds like a little enforcement could fix the entire problem. If you want the program to be self funding, introduce grace period of 1 month, and after that month introduce a zero tolerance policy. You trespass, litter or whatever else, you get a ticket. You can easily pay the wage of a semi-permament by law officer if you hand out a ticket every time you see someone litter or trespass over the course of a couple summer months. In addition you enforce the parking restrictions very strictly for a period of time. Once you instill the fear of god on everyone, people will start to adhere to the rules once again. Whats the maximum fine for littering $500? A couple of those tickets i guarantee those folks wouldnt be throwing their fishing line in the lake anymore.

lmao har har har

no need to even go that far, weve got over 30 inches of ice just north of parry sound. plus the crappies are biting...wish we had a little more snow, but it looks like ice off is at least a month away.

Has anyone here travelled to vancouver...you do realize that their entire skrytrain system does not have human's controlling it...Has there ever been an accident? Nope. Are there delays due to "driving style" or "signal issues" aka gridlock forming on the subway lines due to the variability of the conductors? Nope Ever ridden the TTC??? enough said.

man...its brutal when you check his instagram too, dude was beyond pumped to have a son. Every post was about him and his baby...dude should literally hang em up and regroup for next year. Althought maybe playing hockey etc might help him get back to a normal routine, either way..absolutely terrible after dealing with all of the uncertainty at the trade deadline and its implications on his family, now this.

Seriously though, computers can think and react at speeds far exceeding that of the human brains capability. Even more so, they dont get distracted by phones the radio or their own personal problems. Have you ever heard of an aggressive computer? I definitely have seen plenty of aggressive drivers. ive also seen countless people who appear to be scared completely chitless behind the wheel driving in the fast lane on the 401 going 70kmh causing everyone behind them to nearly crash. If we had 100% automated driving during rush hour each day we would literally completely rid the entire city of gridlock...pretty crazy to think about right? The implications of that would mean cheaper insurance, better for the environment and more time with our families doing what we want.

I trust a computer more than I trust drivers in Brampton...just saying

sorry its not a real "cap hell" its a financial hell imposed by the cheap A$ owner hahaha i guess you gotta fill seats to make money right? maybe he can ask them to schedule more games against the leafs so that you guys can untarp some seats.

hahaha dammmmmm I just love a team that is in cap hell, with 0 prospects being the classic "pesky sens" of old where they win the last ten games of the season and ruin and chance of getting a good draft pick. Dont worry douchene will go right back to being a bum come October, he better get his rounds of golf in with erik quick, because he will be gone come july.

the good news for me is that I am actually fishing a fishery that got decimated about 10 years ago. I finally figured out the story for a local a couple weeks ago. When i first moved to the area in 2008, there used to be permanent shacks where i fish, I alwasy figured people were just trying to catch walleye, sure enough the shacks dwindled, 3 years ago there was 2, last year there was one until this year there hasn't been a shack on in the area at all and only the odd other person trying to fish, no one with any success from what weve seen. 2 weeks ago a local stopped by to say hello and asked how we were doing, it was early in the day so we had only caught a couple so far and the guy said, "20 years ago, we hauled them outta here by the bucketful, then the local resort put huts up and got their guests to also bring a pile home and now you cant catch any" Suprise surprise a fishery with a limit of 30 fish per day was getting absolutely hammered on a commercial scale. Well last year our sled broke so we wanted to fish somewhere within walking distance, we went out set up and sure enough my buddy hooks into a crappie (the first one we had caught in my area ever) well, we caught the bug and kept going back and sure enough march was a banger. I failed to mention to the guy that last year we were on them pretty good, but the fishery has had a couple of years now with basically no pressure, i think things are starting to turn the corner for it again. If we keep our mouths shut and our internet posts ambiguous and hidden, i think i could end up with a very very nice fishery. We took a total of 4 fish to eat this entire year as a special treat, and aside from that I dont think a single fish has been taken...im sure the numbers will keep increasing every year, and thank god for us because March/april used to be a painful deadzone waiting for May to be able to fish, now weve got some fantastic fishing to tie us over. Being a great lake...i have 0 doubt that we could end up with some stupidly massive slabs in a few years. Ive noticed the best action weve had is on bluebird days at lunch time...The bright spring sunshine might have the plankton on fire? not sure?

ladybird was really good dunkirk was possibly my fave war movie ever...still not as good as the pacific tho but thats a miniseries...so it is what it is black panther was cool but i friggin hate marvel movies so thats partially why it dampened it for me. Get out was one of my favourite movies ever. The most recent star wars was a bit of a dud for me.

Ok size, not absolutely monsters like they get in the kawarthas, we caught a few 14 inchers last year, this year the numbers have maybe been better but the consistency in size is solid as well. nothing under 8 inches and the biggest one caught was 12.5 so we cant complain. 30+ saturday (We lost count, i personally caught at least 15 of them myself) and then another 15 Sunday...the bite was a lunch window too, basically nothing happening early, 11 rolled around and it turned on...1pm my screen was full of crappies and every time i dropped my lure i caught, then it tapered off and totally shut off around 2.

the bite has indeed been hot as of late. We iced 30+ this weekend.

any good deals on the terrova?

Hey Ron, Where are you located?

the crappies are starting to bite, and weve got 3 friggin feet of ice and counting...brrr its cold this morning, when is ice off? may? Enjoy the river fishing!
