Once it’s been contaminated with hydrocarbon sludge, what’s it useful for next?

It’s not like it’s rail, where after we’re done with it we’d have excellent track going from YEW to YVR.

pointless toys which just give $ to the USA.

You spell ‘sweden’ and ‘germany’ weird, but I know you meant to write the name of the places from which we made the last two significant military purchases.

atleast

Not a word. Never been a word.

everytime

Not a word yet. It may never be a word.

That’s when you hold the phone to your face - like a phone - so you can talk at a normal volume and hear people really well.

phones were designed to be used, well, like phones. People holding them like a slice of pizza and shouting into them like some narcissist ‘reality’ TV contestant are carefully defeating all the optimisation and annoying everyone on the same city block as them.

We were at a restaurant just tonight next to a table where a man had a FaceTime on speakerphone for like a half-hour.

Remember when that was impolite?

I hope they can drop a fix for voice chat in wow. I’m not thinking blizzard will refactor that to be built properly.

24 years working remotely. I cannot start work without being dressed in street clothes, at least. It’s a self-respect thing.

The exception is overnight incidents when I have the pager, but those are rare.

cutoff shroud

Without the space in “cut off” it makes it sound like a special kind of shroud.

We didn’t elect him for what he was. We elected him for what he was not. He was not Pierre Polievra or Harper or oToole . And he’s doing VERY well at not being them.

… a FOREIGN party. That’s data sovereignty and unchecked spreading of P-I.

We don’t sue much for that - thats for Americans - but it should be a career-limiting decision.

It’s neat to condemn people as criminals on a simple timely accusation.

Many American LEOs can operate here, as long as it’s within 100mi of the border. Somehow, we let them, although the current state of America could see that change.

American law enforcement has come to Canada to arrest a Canadian in Canada for doing something that is not illegal in Canada, and taken that Canadian to America to stand trial for that thing which is illegal there. Yes, it is about marijuana, why do you ask?

It’s not viable economically. Orchards with decades-old trees were uprooted for something else. Sometimes that ‘something’ is shitty wood-frame housing (fire’s favourite food).

There’s some BC products we don’t see in BC! Near Vernon they’re making some bourbon-like spirits (that we can’t legally call bourbon when not made in Kentucky) that we can’t buy in Burnaby, for example. Same province. Same LDB/LCB. Same time zone.

Our liquor distro is a fine example of something in need of serious tuning.

The community has a clear ask

Nope. It’s a request. The only thing I want to know from people using salesbro jargon is the price on this used Buick.

But it’s so sloooowwww

shear

“sheer”, here.

Nazi country

Wow. Do you get paid directly in roubles or is it changed over in Edmonton’s laundromat?

Yes but the standards are listed somewhere, so, uh, that’s job-done, right?
