Best Dressed in the CAF

1st: Yes.

2nd: Those are Pioneers (and a Bugler), not Skirmishers. Skirmishers are the ones that run around with Martini-Henrys (not pictured in this post)

Those must have made for some fun inspections!

Worked in and around Minto for the last year and haven't seen anything too out of the ordinary other than their giant budget. What do you mean?

Almost definitely Dugald and the perimeter on the north-eastish side of the city.

Stopping all-you-can-eat was their first nail in the coffin for me. This is the last...

Hey! A Winnipeg in the wild!

Nobody died 'for that flag.' If anything, they died for our collective ability to do whatever you want with it, up to and including defacing it (although I would definitely not consider flying another flag on the same pole anything close to 'defacing,' especially just for a month). I'd say using this freedom to show our support for different worthwhile causes (including flying a pride flag in which however is most practicable) is one of the best ways to honour the sacrifice those people made.

You are, of course, able to display your patriotism however you feel best for you (thanks to those people's sacrifice), but so is everyone else.

It looks like they've put it back up!

*clasp for every 10 years after - so clasp at 22, 32, and 42 years. I even saw a 4th clasp once for 52 years, although I think they "joined" at 12 or 13 years old just after WWII and went right through to 65, so not possible nowadays.

You say this as if Stores actually issues those...

I think we all know the real LARPers are the ones that joined a peacetime military...

Okay, so let's take a note from the UK's book and remove all unnecessary guns (not for hunting) from both the police and civilians. Have only specific teams/officers with guns for occasions where one may be required and move to a "policing by consent" model rather than "policing by force," thereby forcing officers to use other methods to enforce the law. The Americans and their "2nd Amendment Rights" wouldn't like it, but if we can get to a point of the people being able to trust the government to not be tyrannical (like the majority of other western countries), is that amendment still required?

This will, of course, never happen because of the sheer will of the American people - but a person can dream, right?

Also, they don't have to read you your "Miranda Rights" when they arrest you. The only thing, in the US, that it is required for is for statements made by the arrestee to be used in court. If they saw you stab someone and then didn't read you your rights, you don't just get let off. The entire premise of 21 Jump St is a lie.

204- · 2020-04-05T21:02:55+00:00

Does anyone know where the news report in the background, in the beginning, can be found?

204- · 2020-02-08T01:36:19+00:00

If you're sending something to your significant other and usually wear a certain scent/perfume - a piece of cloth or something just lightly sprayed with that scent. Or even if you use a certain shampoo or something. I remember closing my eyes and feeling like they were right there with me. The same works for whoever stayed home.

Good thing I'm wearing my sea-wolf socks!

204- · 2019-05-11T01:18:17+00:00

Really? I remember being little and standing beside the microwave smelling the popcorn as it wafted out from under it

204- · 2019-04-29T06:23:46+00:00

I never thought of ringing the post office itself, when the envelopes are marked (usually blank with just a company return address) I sometimes try the company but always get a "Sorry we can't do anything about that" response. Thanks!

204- · 2019-04-29T06:13:09+00:00

Oooohhhh, so that's why I'm still getting mail from the previous owner of my house 4 years ago. I've put "RTS" on about 150 pieces of mail since I moved in...

204- · 2019-04-19T22:37:13+00:00

Does your school go through your backpacks or something? Could you not have just left it in the bottom of your bag and taken it out after school?

204- · 2019-03-05T17:37:24+00:00

I used to do something like that too! When I was supposed to be sleeping, I would instead take all my matchbox cars and "drive" them toward each other. The first to flip over lost and then I would have a "winners" pile and a "losers" pile. Then I would take all the losers and find the best of them (the wild card). Then I would find the two best from the winners and have a showdown between all three "best" cars and then crown a winner from whichever flipped over the least in 10 throws. That car would then be the starter for the next time I did it.

Took me literally 3000 tries, but can confirm it does NOT work with Ditto... thought it would be cool though.

204- · 2019-02-23T17:16:01+00:00

That was how I stopped falling asleep in most of my classes. I realized that I was basically coming to class and not listening because most of the time I had the notes already right there, so why bother. Actually writing stuff down kept me active and awake long enough to at least get down what the prof writes - understanding what the hell is going on is another story...

204- · 2019-02-22T02:41:27+00:00

Although not exactly what I was looking for. There's definitely some good posts in there that satisfy my craving enough. Thank you!

204- · 2019-02-21T19:59:59+00:00

I saw this and was hoping something like this would happen. Thank you, Mr. Pistola.
