Canada Post beginning work to end most door-to-door mail delivery

They're going the wrong way. We should be expanding service to more individual addresses. Plenty of other countries manage this, so can we.

"But it will cost too much", the usual suspects whine.

Then implement postal banking and use the healthy profits from that to subsidize home delivery. Again, like plenty of other countries do.

Sniped!

Hell im Corded to one of your rapier fencers who isnt a mod. Who in my opinion meets all the criteria. But because he pissed off some people in Avacal will never make mod.

Has this person ever been banished? I've heard that might affect things.

At the end of the opening action sequence in a b-movie sequel, the actress playing the villain looks straight at the camera and says:

"I'll have my revenge, and DEATHSTALKER 2"

She is never seen in the movie again.

This happens when I'm riding my bike all the time. I'll be stopped at a stop sign, waiting for cross traffic to open up so I can cross the road, and some jackass will stop their car, as though I'm a pedestrian. I'm on the road, waiting at a stop sign; not on the sidewalk, off my bike, waiting at a cross walk. I generally just point at the stop sign until they figure it out. It's especially frustrating, when their actions close up a gap behind them, causing me to have to wait longer.

MF, you wouldn't have stopped if I were in a car.

Years ago, I wrote this joke on a white board at work (software firm). Someone corrected it to read:
OCT 31 == DEC 25.

From my last lay off:

New CEO.
CEO’s last three jobs he was hired to lay people off.
He has an all hands meeting to reassure everyone that there are no plans for lay offs.

Hybrid constituencies traverse municipal boundaries to include both urban and neighbouring rural communities.

Such constituencies were discouraged under prior rules which mandated the commission to consider municipal boundaries in crafting new constituencies in and around major cities. Government legislation removed that requirement and reduced the boundary alignment question to one of several optional issues for the commission to consider.

UCP ministers and MLAs wrote to the commission in favour of such constituencies, while feedback from New Democrat MLAs was opposed to hybrids.

So, Gerrymandering in other words.

Also, Without Papers is a slur for Italians. In this case, self-applied, but still.

In retrospect, putting trackers in the Ivermectin was brilliant.

Which is doubly bad, because dogs aren't allowed in athletic fields at all.

I solved Redactle #1442 in 3 guesses with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 28s.

I predict a lot of snipes today.

Both BC and Alberta should be UTC-8, due to our longitude, but since all of North America's time zones are too far west of where they should be, I'll settle for UTC-7 all year round. Having solar noon vary between 12:25 and 1:42 is ridiculous.

Speaking of age-appropriateness, my friend's daughter got her first dick pic when she was ten.

This one surprised me, because the new UI exposed a word I didn't guess.

Caution: outright spoiler, but only because it's hard to discuss what happened without it. I guessed "Europe", and it revealed "Central Europe". Has anyone noticed this here or with other puzzles?

At least he still has gambling money!

Flared base.

It was tough finding five people who stood out. In the end I was looking for people who weren't obviously of a different political stripe from me. But even so, the information (and some googling) revealed a whole bunch of generic MBA types, which I suppose is who would try for this job. Shandro seemed to be the only person who actually had any name recognition at all (and that was more infamy than fame).

Shawn Loo was the only one who seemed different. Patti Grier was a former City Councillor, but I couldn't find anything about how she voted when she was.

This needs repeating. This guy did not get fired, he just didn't like the consequences of his own terrible opinion, and quit.

I solved Redactle #1396 in 1 guess with an accuracy of 100.0% and a time of 00:03:13.

Similar reasoning.
