Header picture dedicated to the memory of my late mother (1920-2013), who in the last months of her life picked her brushes one last time to prepare a beautiful tombstone for our friend Ti-Gars. #RIP #LoveYouMama #cats

@QuothByRaven @Timcast Canada has it, definitely.

@K3TripleR I had the Heathkit JK-1022 when I was twelve. Only 25 experiments, but components could be moved around to optimize layouts. Lots of fun and lots of transistors needing replacement... The transistors were two 2N3393 and one 2N3416. Went on to study electrical engineering.

@YvanDutil Le document cité (page de l'Assemble nationale) indique bien 2009, mais quand on ouvre la page on voit bien qu'il s'agit du dépôt de 2026. Bizarre.

@YvanDutil Ce projet de loi semble courir depuis au moins 16 ans. Quelle persistance de la part de ses promoteurs!

@legrand_djipi Je trouve la même chose que vous notez ailleurs dans cette enfilade.

@us_connie AI generated image. What car had the cigarette lighter closer to the driver than the ignition switch? And a radio without control knobs?

@penguinusa1776 @EiraCollin19 Did you read the original post?

Charles: divorce
Anne: divorce
Andrew: divorce
Edward: no divorce

The statement in the original post is true.

@legrand_djipi @maujulien En 1960 : Valiant = marque distincte de Chrysler (au même rang que Dodge, Plymouth ou Chrysler).

De 1961 à 1976 : Plymouth Valiant

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@maujulien Je me souviens d'une édition olympique (pour les Jeux de Montréal) de ce modèle, en blanc avec détails rouges. Il ne doit pas en rester beaucoup.

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@maujulien @RGarneau1963 Il s'agissait en fait de quatre familles de moteurs. GM était (et reste) une très grosse compagnie.

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@XploraSpace Plutôt 1966, ne pensez-vous pas?

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@Cruzy189001 Beautiful model and picture, but car looks like a 1974 Plymouth Fury to me. You can make out the H above the grille. Anyone else?

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@TheBrianMcManus My father had one from 1988 until his death in 2000 (aged 70 to 82).

About half the footprint of the device (containing the power source) had shielding that showed as completely white on X-rays.

@holisticnut33 The real question is "Why did the eclipse predicted by those using a round Earth model happen exactly as announced, if the Earth is flat"?

No camera of any kind is required to see a total solar eclipse happening.

@lippyent Drive it, yes. Finding a mechanic able to adjust the linkages might be the problem.

@Vfabry Engine was I8, not I6.

@legrand_djipi Pas de rapport direct avec Danielle Ouimet, mais j'ai eu le plaisir de grandir dans le quartier où se trouvait l'atelier Dumoulin original (rue Mistral). J'ai encore un téléviseur Toshiba fonctionnel, acheté là en mars 1977.

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@AleteiaFR Très beau texte inspirant. Merci.

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@hkb73 The picture is definitely not of the 1953 XP 21. Looks like a modified Ford Thunderbird from around 1970.

[GrosChatdeMtl @GrosMtl]

@RetroCoast Never produced, but miraculously came back from the scrap heap...
