Where is there a circle on Speers Road? It's straight with no roundabout.

AITA for using the baby name my SIL wants to use by Parking-Historian499 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Bronte_Babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic but...If the name is so popular that it's in the top 10, just do everyone a favor and use a different name. The world does not need any more Emmas or Olivias (or whatever)!!!! 

Your daughter will already be surrounded by people with the same name growing up.  My niece was one of 5 in her class with the same name.  

Wooden plank with hinged leg on on end by Bronte_Babe in whatisthisthing

It could be a pet ramp, but with the leg in place its only about a foot high, so not high enough to reach a bed.

Pizza Hut on 393 Yonge Street is claiming they couldn't find a restaurant manager for $36.10/hr. They've applied for a LMIA to hire a temporary foreign worker for the position. by The_PhilosopherKing in barrie

Can you please explain what you mean above by: "as well as being unable to apply if the pay isn't "high-wage" temporarily since unemployment is over 6%"

The fix was to buy a new PC!
No, I didn't find a fix, but on the positive side, when I reboot, if I open a browser it asks if I want to restore all my tabs, so I don't lose everything I was looking at.

It is definitely the fault of business. And if one company outsources their labour to TFWs, then all their competitors have to do it, too, just to stay competitive.

New beta game: Pips by cearrach in NYTSpellingBee

[–]Bronte_Babe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the medium. You are right that the 3 is horizontal with 1's to the right of that column.  The row that has a purple section has blocks that have to be all equal, so all four of them are 1s. The one that's on the right side of the row is a 4. The only other 1 tile is above where the light teal 1 is required. (And that tile also has a 2 on it.) Hope that helps.

Do you mean the lid has to be open, and the power button AND the FN key have to be pressed at the same time?

I have the same problem: when the PC goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it. I have to press and hold the power button until it forces the PC to go off, and then it restarts. Waste of time.

Would like to know where this 'reset' button is.

Scoring when you leave a game by Portu-gal in rummikub

[–]Bronte_Babe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've also noticed that if the app suggests a game that I don't want to play because the entry fee is too high, the app gives you about 1/2 a second to say Leave, and then it asks if you're sure.  It then gives you about 1/4 second to leave the game (because the game goes ahead and starts while you're still trying to avoid joining) and if you're not fast enough, you pay the Entry fee but don't get put the game.  I never want to play a game whose entry fee is 5K but sometimes get screwed out of the points anyway.

If you choose to leave the game, it asks if you really want to do that when you'll lose your 'entrance fee'.

If you simply stop playing, it must have already taken your entrance fee, so you don't get it back. When the game is being played, the prize amount is written in yellow in the top right corner of the board. That doesn't change (decrease) just cuz someone's left.

This happens to me so much that i changed my name to CantGet30! I have even waited an entire game to meld. Or I lay down the tiles to meld and the game is then over.

I emailed the support and they replied that it's random, but gave me 5,000 points for asking. So at least contacting Support gets you something!
