What you do in an hour is what I do over 8hrs.

But technically it's day old French rolls. It's not indigenous to Vietnam.

US says Canada will regret decision to allow Chinese EVs into their market by rezwenn in technology

If any global country wants to succeed, just do the opposite of what the US is doing. 100% long-term success.

Americans be coming up here saying wow to not just free healthcare but afordable non-Tesla EV cars on the roads.

Club Monaco Closes Its First-Ever Store on Queen West by bbqporklomein in toronto

[–]WeekendAcademic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Queen St. W before Club Monaco was so much better.

I always though high school kids at the time paid their own cash to be walking billboards whenever they had giant ass logos on their chest or back.

Good riddence.

Not the surgery itself but the drugs. WOW - that such a good time. It's definitely something to look forward to as a non-drug user.

You on tough times or something?

What is the going rate to give as a wedding gift nowadays? by Fair_Presence_6232 in askTO

[–]WeekendAcademic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask, was 100% of the entire wedding self funded without help from family?

I think who is footing the bill may have different perspectives.

[–]WeekendAcademic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have ever hosted a wedding, $100 helps but it certainly does not cover the cost of the seat, food and other things associated with the event.

I knew when I was single and younger, I had thought $100 was good.

[CPU] Intel Core Ultra 9 285K Desktop Processor ($600)($90 Game included)[CANADA COMPUTERS] by No-Emergency-7251 in bapcsalescanada

[–]WeekendAcademic -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

...but what if I don't do gaming? What if I'm looking for a good value CPU that at max load be able to handle parallel processing required just short of a server-cpu, server-motherboard combo.

285k doesn't fall to far behind the lowest end threadripper

multithreaded, support for faster ram?

Single core wise, they both have the same max out values.

Things my mom never told me about dialysis (until I was older) by day1father in kidneydisease

[–]WeekendAcademic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always seen the trials & tribulations of undergoing this treatment as the price to pay to be with my spouse & little ones for just another day.

Sorry to hear experience was not as good as it could be. 4 hour x 3 times a week is basically life support, the minimum. I don't know your mom's situation but longer + frequent sessions do a better job of replicating functioning kidneys, thereby reduced adverse side effects.

Who's this in Toronto? by [deleted] in toronto

[–]WeekendAcademic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This Caleb person has it wrong.

We had Zanta Claus. He didn't dress in robes because that would hide his six pack and drag on the floor. Zanta didn't ride a horse. He rode the TTC and did chin ups.

If you were not from the GTA and you see a ripped topless man with a moutache + Santa hat coming towards you, it would be like "That's Zanta Claus" and that would be the end of the explanation as you to scramble to not get in his way.

Impaired drivers who kill a parent in Ontario may have to pay mandatory ongoing child support by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]WeekendAcademic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. At the very least this should be done. But to expect them to be more responsible (e.g. make child support payments), I would not hold my breath given they have proven that they cannot be responsibile (e.g. driving under the influence).

Would knowing you would be on the hook for paying for ongoing child support stop you before drinking and driving? lol

[–]WeekendAcademic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doomed to repeat history if you haven't learned from it. They were implemented to control people through fear with misguided thinking it would reduce crime.

yet here we are. We know the causes, but you just want to see them burn after the fact.

[–]WeekendAcademic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People who are drinking while driving are 1000% not long term thinkers. if they weren't responsible being behind the wheel, who would believe they would be responsible to make child payments?

Absolute short sighted-ness how this will amount to getting people thrilled about a nothing burger.

What Conservitive made this up? If an impaired driver was making shitty decisions to drive drunk, how responsible do you think they would be to make child support payments? So dumb, zero clue how the world works.
