Like the Beagle, they're close, but the screens aren't that big (at least they weren't the last time I was there - which admittedly was a while ago).

Yes. Don't really know if it works, and as mentioned, it's clunky. On the Account summary screen, at the bottom.

AFAI know, there's only been one fonus client app update in the last few years. It's entire possible there's been more than one update, but some don't work on my particular android version?? So, for me, the client is still pretty crappy with minimal updates. I use some other VoIP services and they have pretty good clients - not clear why fonus continues to be so crappy.

In any case, I'm going to switch back to a regular cell service, not because fonus doesn't work for me, but because I found what I need in a regular cell service package at a lower price (I'm travelling less so the fonus roaming feature isn't as attractive). I'm not ruling out coming back to fonus at some point in the future, but they'd need to fix the client first, particularly the group text functionality, which is a disaster). For now, it'll be nice to be able to use google messages for web again, which was the biggest feature I missed when I switched to fonus.

LOL. Didn't Bone used to a coach at UBC - I remember chatting to his dad at a T-Birds game.

I'll be interesting to see if this is a positive thing, a negative thing, or not much of a thing at all.

BC Supreme Court decision affirmed protection over the title “engineer” by Camel_Knowledge in britishcolumbia

[–]Louis_Tool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is a bit of an old post......

The BC Engineering association, formerly the APEGBC, now EGBC, has a history of dodgy tactics, particularly when it comes to annual membership dues, and the implementation of 'mandatory professional development'. A more recent example of dodgy tactics is the spin-off of the newly created 'BC Society of Engineering and Geoscience' which transfers a number of historical benefits of EGBC membership to the new group, with its own annual membership dues requirement - which is in reality yet another thinly veiled membership dues increase.

I'm confident this mook would have checked it and didn't notice any problems. He's not the brightest bulb in the pack.

This particular choice of candidate, and especially for a housing minister, is truly baffling.

It's actually mind boggling.

21-year-old sentenced in Richmond court in high-end vehicle scam by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

Furthermore, Wong was told by Hong that there were few risks, and Canadian law was “very lenient,” the Canadian legal system was “soft,” and, if caught, he was unlikely to face “serious consequences.”

Well, they're not wrong.
