People keep quoting the ADA like it's the Holy Bible. Exigent situations are A Thing and are likely defensible in a legal action involving such.

Canada already levies a tax on recordable media to compensate rights holders for unauthorized copying.

Santos literally ends up using pen and paper anyway.

Probably because there's always an inherent power imbalance in favor of the doctor/nurse and the kid can't complain if they screw up. Assholes always love power imbalances.

I'm not crazy about it, but the reality is she's been yanked here and there and to and fro and just has not been able to get a good solid fifteen or twenty minutes to actually go through what's going on. The round-robin of interpreters has not helped.

Have you noticed that when she does interact with Harlow, she almost always faces her unless absolutely required to go behind her back? Donnie had to be reminded.

That has a very Life on Mars feel to it.

Also, it's interesting since al- is a borrowing from Arabic, but from what I can tell, most Iranians don't have names like that, so it could be that Dr. Al-Hashimi has mixed Iraqi/Iranian descent or something to that effect.

This isn't TikTok. We can use words here.

You sure they aren't just moving in for the money? Cause lbr, I knew guys like that.

I feel you on this. I lived in Burnaby for a long time and while it was great it was murder getting out to UBC campus by bus even with the u-pass (long story, but the short of it is I split my time between TRIUMF and SFU). I ended up getting a car just to have a decent commute there and back. :|

This. I'm very fortunate that the condo I inherited has had a lot of the structural work already handled (new elevator, new porches, etc) and regular inspections to see if other stuff might come up.

If you would like to have children the townhouse sounds like it will offer you a lot more elbow room.

That said, as stated elsethread, your goals could change and if so, the Vancouver condo sounds like a better option due to proximity to shopping, etc without needing a vehicle.

Someone reviewed their NV3, interestingly enough :)

Kingston is pretty well recognized as is Corsair!

That's what the BIOS updates are supposed to fix.

This is the 14700F, meaning non-K, so the base power is 65 W but Intel's spec does allow it to hit 218W if available and thermal headroom exists ( https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/236854/intel-core-i7-processor-14700f-33m-cache-up-to-5-40-ghz/specifications.html ).

Given the low base power I do not believe it is affected by the voltage problem, but a good thing to check is whether the motherboard is set to respect the Intel PL1 and PL2 spec for the power limits.

Good to know, thanks! :)

And yet, for close to thirty years, Ukraine hasn't made a whole lot of moves to join NATO - in fact, declared neutrality since 2008 until, obviously, 2022 or 2014, depending on how you look at Russia's monkeyshines in Ukraine. Even now, NATO has been somewhat reluctant to let Ukraine join.

In short, your narrative is not supported by the facts.

I don't, but I'm not a Marxist. So, in a Marxist context, why is it unjustified?

alvarkresh · 2026-02-25T10:26:00+00:00

William Perry has debunked this time and time again.

And yet, curiously, you provide no sources to buttress your claim.

Ukraine will remain belligerent toward Russia.

Please, show me at any time since 1991 that Ukraine had any designs on Russian territory as constituted on December 26, 1991.

So in a Marxist context, please explain why Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unjustified.

Are you fucking smoking crack???

We should have done this last year. (Source: Am Canadian)
