I designed a sensor project on a land border crossing a few years ago. Cant say which one. That measured dwell times of vehicles at inspection booths. And could classify if a car, truck, etc. The calculation the per lane sensors provided was independent of the CBSA screening software on the...

I'm going to down a rabbit hole of classical music for a while. I was at a book sale on Saturday that also had CD's for sale. I picked up a box set of 36 CD's for $10. Deutsche Grammophen - CD reissue of a whole whack of Herbert Von Karajan. Directing Berlin Philharmonic from original studio...

Police have now found and seized both involved vehicles. So hopefuly the wheels of justice are turning in the right direction. The dead gal apparently had just stepped off a City bus on her way to a gym to work out, and was waiting to cross the street. So senseless a fatality.

I am just waiting for the world to go mostly cashless. And the pan-handlers will circulate with the equivalent of square readers on thier phones. Because by the time that cash has largely dis-appeared, the liberal advocates will argue that a state funded mobile phone will be a basic human...

And say the old one was working fine. So 90% chance the person asking for the move will need to pay for Enbridhge's relocation. Relocation should not be initialted until the true property line via new or old survey is known.

The OP text suggests he does not have a survey of his property. The fact that the natural gas line wanders is annoying But locates that mapped the gas line path means any new posts, up sized or not will need to be hand dug, or water jet excavated. Even if gas line was close to your side of...

Damn, I feel so old. I can recall the intro of 905 to relieve 416 running out of open line numbers, and with it the rise of 10 digit dialling. And that was back when you dialled rather than just push a button in you mobile's contact list. Hell, growing up in a smaller city it was a big deal...

Dont give the nut job any more air time.

Nah, land them all, then impose exorbitantly high landing fees, and huge catering and acomodation bills due before the planes can leave. And huge roaming fees on foreign cel phine carrier sim use on Canadain cel carrier network. And worst torture of all. Only CBC on TVs they can use.

Just a little vial of a bio agent. Then tape the vial so it easily breaks when you crash the plane. Fly the plane at your target Wait a few days, Then move in.

I'm no big supporter of the Vatican in any way. But the just departed Pope seemed like a real stand up guy. A man of the people. And not afraid to say the church screwed up in the past. We can only hope his sucessor is as progressive. If I could only say may the best candiate gets elected...

Voted Sunday advance poll at the returning office. Not busy, but it was 9:30 on Sunday morning, so not a peak hour. Good to see local sorts staffing the polling station. The two clerks in my poll were chatting back and forth in Hindi. So not the usual polical hacks that I grew up with in a...

The legal QLD brothels were being implimented just as my 4 years working there were wrapping up in 2003. I do not know if NSW ever got theirs legalized. Driving north of Noosa should not kill anyone. It is less than an hour to Brizzy. And given the volume of holidayers, I would be surprised...

Takes some of the fun out of the chase. But there are legal brothels in Queensland.

The headline lauched the issue wrong. A pedestrian, standing waiting of the bus, minding her own business, was fatally shot by a bullet. Who cares it is 'stray' bullet. Who cares her immigration status. What we should all be focussed on is that the police apprehend who was involved. And...
