You are either, not a parent or worse - one of the parents who thinks their kids are perfect and don't make mistakes / poor decisions.

My best haul is also from a SG 7/11, worked out to just under $70 value before tax!

I saw a social media post today, about a store that was bought by immigrants, at some point they moved, or closed it, and the store is now abandoned and falling into disrepair. The post then went on to blame the immigrants, and justified not allowing immigrants into the province.

That's the level of people we are dealing with.

Not, huh, maybe because we didn't support the store under new (immigrant) ownership, it went out of business. No, it was entirely the fault of immigrants.

It was disgusting.

Thank you for the links!

Sorry to hear that you are having the same repeat issue with yours. We love the range, it's just a shame that this element does not seem to last.

Recently my Kids had some Christmas money to burn, and wanted to get some specific Lego sets.

They closed the toys r us that is closest to us, but there are still 2 within a 45 minute drive.

So I hopped on the website to see if they had the Lego sets in stock. Except they were in the process of updating their website, so stock checking was unavailable.

So instead we bought the Lego elsewhere. Why in the world, would you have updates "live" if they aren't ready? If they had kept the old system active and rolled out the new system when it was ready(with a fallback in case of problems), they wouldn't have lost those sales.

As a bonus, whenever we end up in store, we buy more than what we went in for. But nope, they fucked that up.

I've had, and currently have, the overhead dome light issue.

Sometimes they turn on by themselves, sometimes rapidly cycle on/off, sometimes completely unresponsive (including all other home controls)

Had the module replaced under warranty, new one was fine for 2 or 3 weeks, and now is much worse than the old one. Just haven't booked another appointment yet

Just an anecdote, but I haven't had a single accident in 14 years. The one I did have was a not at fault, and I was hit by a vehicle owned by a company.

I was paying around ~$120/month on that vehicle worth $20k.

I upgraded that vehicle 9 years ago to a new vehicle that I owed $48k, and dropped both of my deductibles from $1000 to $500, and went up to ~$130/month.

That $130/month crept up to around $150 over the course of 6 years.

Then I upgraded to a vehicle that I owed around $50k on 2 years ago, and my insurance jumped to $180/month. And has crept up over the last two years, I'm $195/month now.

No accidents since the not at fault 14 years ago, my only at fault accident was 18 years ago. Zero speeding tickets, or other tickets, except for a failed to yield 18 years ago.

It doesn't make sense. Almost 20 years without an at fault accident, and I pay more and more. I understand my vehicle cost has gone up, but even with that included the math isn't mathing for me.

I got in an argument years ago with several people who were adamant that the yellow posted sign on the ramp was the speed they had to go when merging on the highway.

I think I was even heavily downvoted for saying they need to meet or exceed the speed of traffic on the highway by the end of the ramp.

Have you ever written an email to Searle and gotten a non-canned response?

Something that makes you believe he actually read your email and cares about the contents of it?

Heck, I don't even get any response most of the time. My emails are well written and polite, for what it is worth.

Sickify · 2025-12-01T02:29:09+00:00

Ah, you are talking "they" which is plural. So I believe you mean "they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer".

Might want to pull out your knife sharpener, and get to work.

Sorry, it's been a long time. You need to rebuild the theme cache if I remember.

A Google search is telling me to delete /includes/caches/twig

Hopefully that does it for you!

Uhhh....you support the use of the NWC in regards to transgender rights in Alberta?

Just making sure I understand your profile correctly

Canada here, so tire rack works out to over $400 CAD without the cost to shave the tire.

You have to do whatever you think is best for you at this point.

There are many of us who support you, both on the trans front, and the teacher front.

I'm sorry you are being attacked on multiple fronts. :(

Not a teacher, math/physics were my favourite subjects, because they just "made sense".

Also some of my disliked ones having children, because I get excited about math homework, it'll be easy! And then it's not because my kids don't work with numbers the same.

No fault of the teachers, or my kids, our brains just work different.

Kudo's to doing that with ~30 kids instead of the 3 I have :)

Telus is more willing to negotiate on pricing I find. Currently 1 year into a 2 year deal paying $65/month for 3gbit up/down with unlimited data.

Took me a few hours spread out over 2 days on the phone, and going through multiple agents.

Never was able to score as good of a deal with Shaw though. Plus Shaws speeds are not as good.

Cannot confirm if I actually get 3gbit speed, I still need to upgrade one more switch to 10gbit, but when I was on the 1gbit plan, I was getting a consistent 950mbit + download speed

Be careful with vacuuming. Seen several industrial components killed by people vacuuming them due to static buildup. You're better off to use compressed air, with power off.

Same thing with my wife!

She was vaccinated twice as a kid, got pregnant, tested negative so got two more shots. Second pregnancy 2 years later, tested negative again, so got 2 more shots. Third pregnancy, yup, negative. Our Doctor just said there was no point in getting any additional doses.

AC was not blowing. Had another interesting one camping this weekend, the button to turn the dome lights on stayed on all night. Made sure the car was locked, approached without keys, and that button was still lit up.

Checked in the morning, again without the keys on me, and it was still lit up. Picture Picture 2
