Watching today's lunar landing brought back a lot of memories. But what is really amazing is what they did in '69 with many many times less computing power than a cheap smart phone.

I watched the landing with my wife who is a bit of a space nut. We were joking while they were waiting for a signal that maybe a moon-man came out and tipped it over. And sure enough....

Shit, wished I had one of those. Might have saved the 4 locked bikes we've had stolen in the last few years.
That is SOO racist. Says Mr. Trudeau. How dare you leave out a few letters from the alphabet.

Woman who stopped to check on police spike belt damage killed by fleeing truck
EDMONTON — Officers have found a stolen car used to flee a deadly hit-and-run following a high-speed police chase on the weekend, and they continue to search for a suspect. The Honda Civic was recovered early this morning outside Edmonton.

How the hell does this happen? RCMP or Police deploy a spike belt trying to catch a suspect... but then just leave the spike belt there and this poor woman runs over the spike belt, gets out to inspect her car and then gets hit by the suspect in doing so? I'd be outraged if I was this woman's family. Such careless deployment of the spike belt and suspect is still at large.

Mom’s $820K Insurance Claim Dismissed After She Was Seen Winning Christmas Tree Tossing Contest
A woman’s insurance claim for disabling injuries has been dismissed after a photo emerged of her participating in a Christmas tree throwing competition less than a year after her alleged injuries were sustained.
Damned social media nails them every time!

I've avoided Xmas tree tossing contests for that very reason. They are nothing but trouble.Mom’s $820K Insurance Claim Dismissed After She Was Seen Winning Christmas Tree Tossing Contest

I had a college buddy who had a saying: “Beauty is just a light switch away.”Guess it's better than being attracted to ol' leatherface.
He was a dragon slayer, that fella.

So for our mechanical gurus out there, I have a puzzling situation. I can generally diagnose a few things but can’t fix shit, unless it’s pretty basic.
So, during the brutal cold snap a month ago where it got to -45 or colder for 10 days or so, my truck started to leak antifreeze from where the upper road hose is attached to the rad. Fearing the worst I had a cracked outlet on the rad, I took it in hut they weren’t able to look at it for a week due to other vehicles breaking down. Anyways, take it in…they do a pressure test and all that, can’t get it to piss a drop. Holds pressure, won’t leak. They put some new clamps on, sent me on my way.
Truck has been good but then this quick little two day cold snap hits and another f***ing puddle of coolant under the front, sure enough leaking again from the same spot. It’s warmed up today, drove it home after work and no puddle.
My next move is to replace the upper rad hose and put oem compression clamps back on to see if this solves it. Any of you mechanics or DIY’ers ever see this where coolant only leaks when it gets cold out and what the fix was? Something is obviously shrinking enough to allow coolant to bypass. I know I replaced one of the hoses about two years ago (don’t recall if it was upper or lower) so maybe I just have a shitty hose if it was the upper one.

I think you are in the right track with hose and clamp, just enough contraction in the cold to maybe open something up.

Finding Hemingway
The baked NBA continuing in their inane ways. This brought to you by the Raptors and MLSE. Only in Toronto?
The same league that had a Toronto singer CHANGE the lyrics of the Canadian National anthem in an NBA allstar game played in the US.
The same league that emblazons political messages on the court and has players wearing jerseys with political mesages.
But a decidedly different take with fans. This is somewhat old news, but the events continue.

Demanding Hamas release hostages immediately is a message that should never have led to the messenger being thrown out of Scotiabank Arena.
