Here is what Ford wants to rip out. In a city stuck in debilitating gridlock, nothing better than removing bike lanes and getting more people driving. 🙌🙌

I'm getting extremely close on the colours in the service menu! Did NOT think I would get it this good. Going have to watch BTTF all the way through to test. Darn. 😏

I knew this would happen but I can't leave things alone. Highlights on one of my CRTs were always very yellow so I started messing in the service menu and despite being excruciatingly careful I've bunged up the colours. Now I'm using an old THX Optimizer to try and get back to normal.

🛞Here's who came out on top: 1- Nexen 2- Vredestein and Nitto (tied) 3- Kumho 4- Maaxis 5- Pirelli 6-Hankook 7- Goodyear 8- Firestone 9- Yokohama 10-Michelin

FYI we imported our Insight to Canada new. My wife can't drive manual so we bought a CVT in Ohio on our way back from the 2006 Chicago DCS (DeLorean Car Show).

TIL the fellow who sold us our Insight in 2006, Gene DaGiau, was honoured this summer by Honda of America for being the longest continuous Honda salesperson in the U.S. sanduskyregister.com/news/1037145...

I just realized I left out an important piece of information. The reason we had to import the CVT is because it wasn't offered in Canada.

Watching my 1981 Media Halloween Beta and the 2007 Anchor Bay DVD side-by-side. Was surprised at a few extended scenes on the DVD. Literally just a few extra seconds here and there which makes it one minute longer than the Beta. #NowWatching

Beautiful fall days are coming! I'm excited to take the Jetta out to apple orchards, pumpkin patches and all the little butter tart stands in the country. #Mk2Jetta

select cities October 16, wider release thereafter... start telling your friends, block off an evening on the calendar, the Epstein Class couldn't have made it more clear that they don't want us watching this movie, which means it's now our duty

Spooky season starts early in our house. Tonight, From Hell on a temporary setup in an unfinished room. I'm moving everything out of the garage in preparation for garage reno. #PhysicalMedia

Maybe this'll be the year I finally watch Beetlejuice VHS and Beetlejuice Beta simultaneously to see if the VHS is actually 2 mins longer, or if it's just an error. #PhysicalMedia

I worked at a daily paper when 9/11 happened, involved in the layout of the paper. That morning is probably the opposite of how you'd imagine a newsroom; silence. For hours everyone in Editorial gathered around small TVs watching it all unfold. The only sound was from radios on people's desks.

This is insanity

So to summarize: One of the largest private corporations in Canada that’s been found guilty of fixing prices, is using drones to pollute the night sky, to promote the use of an AI chatbot to disclose sensitive personal information, and is part of the privatization of the Ontario health care system.

The remote for one of the CRTs in my collection suddenly stopped working so cleaning time. Bizarre situation where the batteries (that I shouldn't have left in) showed exactly zero signs of leaking, yet the board underneath was covered in acid. Can't figure it out, but no permanent damage.
