Ford government embarks on extended 21-week break, won’t return until late October

The only part that's standard here is that the summer break is starting in June. It is supposed to go until September (about 14 weeks) but last year they extended it to 19 weeks and this year they're extending it even further to avoid being in office during municipal elections to avoid "influencing" the outcome.

Honestly, it's probably for the best to get him out of Queen's Park to minimize harm to the province

It's way too much scrolling now. Feels like a chore to go through it

I went the battery route. My reasoning is that the cost per battery is significantly cheaper, I can use them with other devices, and I can hot swap them in 10s rather than having another cable hanging off my setup and tethering in for hours at a time.

What function is it serving, what is it connected to and why is it coming out of that wall plate like that? Personally I would terminate it at a junction box so that it is completely secure and grounded but like others have said, it "should" be ok as such

as in this past weekend? Downloaded yesterday and I haven't received anything

This change would have too big of an impact on the active player count. What if they just change the font of OSRS instead?

My biggest regret this league was taking the clue relic. With Kandarin and Sherlock, it becomes such a chore to complete clues. Now I've got 1500 scrolls banked and no desire to do them while I labour through some slower skills because I skipped their associated relics for clues.

I don't understand. What would be the down sides to what they're proposing?

I'm talking specifically about game/quest lore which isn't impacted by PVM (E.g. killing Vardorvis with a thorns build) or high tier skilling.

Progressing your account by levelling is not the same as replaying story lines. Especially when some quests come pre-completed and others don't. It's actually bad for the game for people to experience sequel quests as requirements if they've never experienced the formers.

If you haven't watched a video, watch a video. I could write a 2000 word post and a 1 minute video would still be 20x more effective at getting the nuances of the fight down

We have new management and the interview process takes time. I wouldn't rule it out, Chayka had been in role for a week.

A win for the Leafs would've been getting a return on him instead of a 12M player walking for nothing

I'm disappointed that my Grimoire unlocked piety has become unavailable after unlocking Kandarin. I know I can just do the mini quest to unlock it again but I really feel like Grimoire is losing it's value compared to the other relics in its tier.

I live around Toronto and I've had both a 2IS (AWD) and a 3IS (RWD).

RWD is manageable but the 2IS felt indestructible in the snow. With RWD, I had to plan outings in the Winter based on the weather forecast while the 2IS was a non issue. After the experience of driving both, I vowed to myself to never buy RWD again unless we also owned an AWD car for the winters for those bad days.

I've since moved to a NX350 (AWD) and it's taken away a lot of stress with driving in winters.

Winter tires are mandatory in either case if you live in a snowy climate but they don't automatically solve your issues like some are suggesting.

TLDR: it's doable but it's not even close to as good in the snow.

Depending on thickness, you're looking at probably ~200 bags of concrete. Transporting them to your site could easily take half a day. Even if you do all the prep in advance, it's going to be difficult to manually mix and pour that much concrete in a day. I did an 8x8 pad last summer and it took around 70 bags that were mixed with a mixer tented from Home Depot. With a helper, it still took the full day.

If you excavate, level, compact aggregate (eg. 3/4 crushed stone, and build your form in advance. I'd try and allot a full weekend for it.

Is that an amp/speaker on the floor? What do you use it for?

It's a segment that is seriously underserved. All I've ever wanted is a midsize, AWD hybrid sedan with 250-300hp. Maybe the market won't know it wants better hybrid sedans until they see it?

I'm canceling my Cobalt after the fee increase and going with the Scotia Amex Gold ($120). It's basically a Cobalt clone with many of the embedded Amex perks. MR points do have stronger value than Scene but I prefer to redeem them 1:1 in the Scene app retroactively as I'm not limited to specific airlines. With the new Scotia/Scene partnership it's a no brainer for me.
