Seat Safety Switch posted:We fund it through taxes and duty, yeah. UPS asks for a little more sometimes for their trouble. The last time I got something shipped over the border, UPS asked me for $32 at the door to cover the bother of having to give my government the money I already paid them to ship it. Then they took that $32 back to America with them where they probably spent it on cocaine or Goldman Sachs bailouts or something. You know if Glorious Leader wanted to score some political points, he should go and fix this duty situation. Tons of Canadians shop online in the Starss and ship back to Canada, yet like you said the only reason why the Brown Clown charges such exhorbitant brokerage is to fund his blow habit.

Seat Safety Switch posted:The border also gives you the exciting opportunity to be interrogated by various border guards as to your nefarious activities. We also watched a guy in front of us in line pick up a discarded box of beer from the side of the road and put it inside his car before driving up to the border terminal, which made the border guards freak the gently caress out and search him with dogs. Wow that is pretty stupid. I guess that guy really wanted to be waterboarded with maple syrup (which I'm pretty sure is what CBSA will do to you if you're bad).

Looking back on last night I think the 30-year old Chinese whiskey I finished Beerfest with was a very poor idea. Pretty sure it was made with 100% authentic smelter tailings.

Seat Safety Switch posted:When I was in high school it was all Honda Accords. I guess the oil boom really is back. Geez when I was in high school, pretty much everyone either drove beaters, like Sunbirds and Cavaliers, or their parents' cars (as in, what high school kid would go out and willingly buy a minivan?). Also, a TON of kids would take the city bus to school - probably 30-50% in total. I didn't drive to school because I was a 10-minute walk away. E: How many of you ding dongs who own Automation would be willing to play a regular (monthly or something) contest where you're given a set of criteria and you're to build an engine/car to best fit them? I've been half-thinking about setting something like that up the past few days; just doing an interest check to see if it's worth the effort.

I remember when one of my ex-girlfriends asked if I could teach her how to use a manual transmission, the lesson ended with an "Ohhhhh......" (you all know the kind of "Ohhhhh......" I'm talking about) before it even began when I suggested she should wear proper shoes instead of her favourite *~cute~ flip-flops.

Remove basil sprig. Purée tomato mixture in a blender until smooth; strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, whisk in oil, and season with salt. Season halibut with salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook halibut until golden brown and just opaque in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Serve halibut with tomato-cherry vinaigrette, drizzled with oil. This pairs nicely with white wine, a lager or wheat beer. MrChips fucked around with this message at 05:30 on May 28, 2014 |

Well if you put hot sauce up there I don't know what to say, you're most definitely going to feel like poo poo. Also this guy: Nidhg00670000 posted:Best hot sauce; Sambal oelek. ...knows what's up. Good enough flavour to stand as a condiment by itself and it's hot enough for pretty much any purpose. Anything hotter is just the ~*~sick blue LED casemodding ~*~ of cooking.

While it would definitely cause some rage, a rotary engine here in North America is enough of a novelty that people would be interested by it. If you really want to piss off E: Or an electric motor.

Motronic posted:Wasn't that the 924? Or were they both built there? Both the 924 and 944 were built in Neckarsulm, though Porsche moved 968 production to Zuffenhausen, presumably because they were broke as gently caress at the time (and farmed out convertible construction to Karmann in Osnabruck).

There isn't really one thing I listen to when I drive; I'll listen to whatever my iPod comes up with...could be The Black Keys, could be The Heavy, could be The XX...could be Scooter (which is surprisingly appropriate for driving my douchebag-mobile E46 ). Pink Floyd is pretty good drivig music, especially if you're driving at night, as is Kraftwerk. I also listen to the Red Sox on MLB Gameday Audio if they're on, but that often just makes me angry.
