Shut down a door to door scammer type guy. Knocked on my door just now, I stepped out to meet him.

'Hi, I'm so and so from the company [I don't even think he specified...] and we are an independent contractor and don't provide services...'
"Okay."
'We've been getting a lot of complaints about rates going up, and we work with the big companies and people to help compare rates so you get the best price.'
"Okay..
'Now you're with us on the cable, right?'
[Us? I thought you didn't provide service...]
"I didn't say who I was with."
'Oh. Well you'
"Have a nice day."
As I'm going in I hear him go, 'Well I'm sorry you can't get a lower rate...'

The natural gas market was deregulated here a few years ago, and now there are constantly shitbag scammers going around with a legitimate company's name and logo on a badge around their neck trying to lock people in to $9.99/GJ of natural gas when the actual rates right now are about $1.70/GJ. They are often extremely agressive, try to push their way in, and try to get your name on poo poo before even saying who they work for. When you ask who they work for they often lie and say for the gas company, and more often than not it's either 2 middle eastern dudes or 2 russian dudes trying to intimidate old ladies into signing poo poo.

I've been playing around with dashcommand on ios, and it doesn't seem nearly as good as torque pro. I haven't tried it with the powerstroke, but in the 540 it can't pick up anything from the transmission.

Some pretty crazy northern lights happening, and the whole city smells like campfire.

I'm a camera noob without a tripod. There are streaks of blue you don't normally see this far south.

Cross the border into alberta, and you're cut down to 110kph, or 68mph, with all but the widest superhighways being 100kph or 62mph.

Highway 2 is built for 200kph but do 140kph on it and you're literally satan.

The biggest problem i see with communism is that the people who push to get into power under a capitalist system also push to get into power in the communist system, and a lovely person in charge of a communist country can do far more damage than a lovely person in charge of a capitalist country.

Going forward, we do need something that more closely resembles communism. With automation making a massive push into every career path, we can't just expect those displaced by it to starve. We've long been out of a "don't work, don't eat" world our current economic system was born from.

He should probably bring some holy water and snake oil too.

As long as you're pumping poo poo into the tire that won't do poo poo, might as well cover all your bases.

Is there something else to use to plug a tire instead? I never had to do it before, so IDK.

An actual tire plug kit. Actually removing the nail from the tire, and plugging it properly.

All slime will do is make the tire shop hate you when you go to get a new tire mounted.
