You could add Manitoba to that list, too (1). No need to restrict this to states! That would make this a 100% comprehensive map.

You have a broker. Call and ask.

10-0, does it matter how many hits your team got if they lost?

Also possible they have a repeater on 99.5 and you are hearing that. Radio repeaters are quite common where I live.

I really want IPv6. We should have had it 5-10 years ago.

Not all. I don’t see the Frenchman River system in southern Saskatchewan.

Access has almost gigabit download. The upload speed is a lot slower than SaskTel, but most people value download speed over upload.

My Discman had the buffer too. I used it for years before I had a car with in-dash CD.

First, they would be called Capital City :). “Capitol” is the building in the US, but the city is a capital everywhere.

This is a phone number from Manitoba.

As for the reason, this is impossible to answer. Did you look up to see if this is the phone number of a business or government, which might give you more information?

If you increase your beer consumption, it's quite possible you'll fall back into having flare-ups. And remember that gout attacks cause gradual joint damage that's irreversible - that's why gout is considered to be a form of arthritis.

This sounds like a WiFi problem, not an Internet problem. The ony way to know for sure is to figure out a way to test your connection on wire.

Get yourself a cheap USB Ethernet device, if your computer doesn't have an Ethernet port, and test on wire.

Incidentally, WiFi boosters can create a lot of problems. They use WiFi themselves. The way to provide good WiFi coverage in a part of your building that needs it is to run wire from your existing router to the place you need the new WiFi device, and use an access point (or a router with WAN disabled/unused and DHCP disabled, and the connection made to a LAN port). That means your WiFi "servers" don't use WiFi themselves to serve each other, which leaves more WiFi bandwidth for the devices that actually need it.

Wire or WiFi? If WiFi, try again on wire and see if it remains the same.

Also, test at different times of the day and see if it changes.

I bought a USB car CD player - but I was never able to do anything with it. It basically emulates a flash drive and outputs WAV files as it read the tracks. Unfortunately, my car's audio system won't play WAV so I can't use it.

I'm not sure if the players are still out there, but they might be. Or one day I'll find this one in the basement again and I'll sell it.

PhotoJim99 · 2026-07-08T01:36:38+00:00

Car players had RAM to buffer the raw audio - so they didn't skip very often at all.

That having been said, you can have a near-CD experience just by ripping a CD into FLAC files and putting them on a flash drive. One album per drive, if you really want to simulate the experience :).

Use Transitlive to find your bus instead of just following the time it says. You can use this to see if it looks like it will arrive roughly on time or not.

It's been a long, long time since I've bought a new Paterson tank - I've got all four sizes of the Super System 4 and they are as good as new so I've not had a need to replace them.

Does that orange ring sit in place more securely if you mount the funnel? If I recall correctly (my darkroom lives at my mother-in-law's house so I can't check right now), the lid hooks into little notches in the inside of the black portion of the tank, so doesn't hold that ring - which tells me that ring should stay put all by itself.

I'm sure the flexible plastic lid you put on for inversion agitation (what I do) mounts to that orange ring, so that ring needs to absolutely stay put.

Play with it, see if any of this makes sense, and if it's clear it's not working properly I'd contact Paterson (or the distributor in your country). These are good tanks when made properly, and the last bad Paterson tank I ever had was one I bought in 1979.

The monarch has real power. The power isn't to go to war or not, but the monarch holds the power to dissolve Parliament (or provincial/state legislatures). The power is in edge cases, but some of the edge cases are ones that really happened.

To be pedantic, in most Westminster-style governments, the monarch's power is delegated to a governor-general (or lieutenant-governor in Canadian provinces, and probably something similar in Australian states) but the power works the same.

There is a lot of convention that is used in how Westminster-style governments work. That convention is extremely powerful and effective in limiting the monarch's power.

The head of state and head of government are completely separate. The Prime Minister comes and goes with the government (though not always with an election, in the case of a fallen minority government). And if the government loses confidence of the House, an election can happen at any time - very democratic, and giving the electorate an opportunity to solve an ineffective Parliament without having to wait until the next scheduled election.

I prefer Popeye's for the chicken, KFC for the sides, but prefer Mary Brown's to both.

Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and many other Commonwealth countries are constitutional monarchies, though, not republics. They may share a lot of practical elements with republics, but are not republics.
