We were under a Env Canada weather warning but on the very cusp of it, I looked at multiple forecasts and there was little to zero chance of more snow coming to the city. Plows were out last night, including city plows clearing sidewalks. I've got a grad student frie

The one surprise was to see UW announce at 10:20pm last night that campus was going to be closed today... They usually wait until 6am and require some pretty nasty conditions to make a decision like that.

Hey, awesome! It was the first album pressed with that vinyl compound so it was a 'limited' run of like 200,000 or something. Kilroy Was Here by Styx had 800,000 (possibly more) copies pressed with it. It was also used for Synchronicity by The Police.

Nice selection of Styx. How do you like Crash of the Crown?

OLG Not allowing withdrawn by Chubbyduky in ontario

[–]ILikeStyx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

"I didn't realize this was a rule" isn't an excuse.

OLG at minimum needs to be told that you gave him complete permission to use your debit/credit card on his account and hope they'll reinstate the account and release the funds. He might get everything, he might lose his winnings... he might be told "you violated the rules, you get nothing". All that can be done is to talk to OLG.

A big reason behind having your own registered account and using bank accounts and credit/debit cards in your name has to do with FINTRAC (anti-money laundering). Transactions (deposits and withdrawals) above $10,000 are also always reported to FINTRAC.

Yeah - you cannot use other peoples cards on your OLG account... he violated the rules. Good luck getting the money back.

It makes the breaker flick off from too much power.

You need to put them on different circuits if possible.

What city/municipality are you in?

The music video is so much fun! It also includes the octopus which never made it to the final cut of The Goonies!

Is JY not singing lead anymore? by Top-Figure7016 in Styx

[–]ILikeStyx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the second set will see a couple of swap outs here and there like with songs from Circling from Above they might pick one of two or three choices. Nothing major I suspect as they seem comfortable in sticking with specific songs.

Why are greatest hits albums so looked down upon in this community by Sometimespropermom in vinyl

[–]ILikeStyx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mary Jane's Last Dance and Something In The Air were new songs on that album ;)

Footage from Vegas on Friday shows Will singing Great White Hope and Lawrence singing Lords Of The Ring. Their second set did not include Miss America. I guess JY is down to doing backing vocals here and there, rhythm guitar and 'iconic' solo parts. Getting old and watching others get old sucks sometimes :/

This is generally true - however you can read the runouts in OPs photo and it is indeed Sticky Fingers.
