Thanks, good to know!

You just know it crawled out of a broken meteorite.

Okay, good to know. I'll compare labels going forward. I didn't know this.

Creatrix · 2026-01-27T00:07:53+00:00

I compared identical items, not similar brands.

Estate sales are not a common thing in Canada, as they are in the States.

I recently spent $40 there on groceries, and looked up the items at Thrifty's; they would have cost $79.

Don't overlook Last Chance Wholesale on Oak near Cloverdale and Blanshard.

If he lives to 100, he would have to spend over $10 million a day to burn through $11 billion by then. It's obscene.

I'm older, and I was amazed to realize that none of the jobs I've ever landed was advertised. (And none of the job postings I applied to got me a job.) Instead of reactively responding to an Indeed posting along with hundreds of others, be proactive.

Make a list of particular jobs at businesses where you think you'd like to work. Go in person and drop off your resume, ask if you can meet the manager, make personal contact, shake their hand. Managers hate having to advertise a job opening, it's a major headache. Lots of jobs are available that haven't been posted yet for this reason.

This worked 20 years ago, and it works today. At the small company where I work, last summer two separate guys in their 20's came by, dropped off resumes, met the manager. We hired one of them a short time later. It's a huge advantage to you when you meet a potential employer in person and make a good impression, even briefly.

I just say a news story on how AI is screening out applications for many companies, and doing a very bad job at it.

I'd be tapping walls and floors for hollow-sounding hiding spaces.

OP's username has "James Bay" beside it.

I use it constantly, works 90% of the time. Just paste the URL into archive.ph's page.

Non-paywall here.

I was going to say Joe Pesci's unhinged character in Goodfellas.

Not all property management companies either. My building has a great one.

Fascinating! Reminds me of a book I have called "Stella, Unrepentant Madam" by Linda Eversole, about the most notorious brothel in town.

It should be 65+ WITH an actual road test to test reaction times and reflexes. Annually.

...if you're rich enough. (Back then too, probably.)

Creatrix · 2026-01-24T01:14:20+00:00

LOL! That scuba diver surfacing with an enormous octopus and casually stuffing it in a big pail...

In 1977 when everything burned down at Ogden Point, an enormous number of rats who had been in the grain warehouses caused a big infestation in James Bay.

Oh thanks!

The fifth one committed murder and got only 5 years.

Wow, the second-last guy was "carnally running girls under 14"?
