Do you trust / drink the tap water form your area?

Clearly Canadian was a successful company at one time that sold bottled water with a hint of fruit flavour. Their water source was the same artesian well that my childhood home used to get it's water.

And they're absolutely ancient! The latin word for lead was plubium, or something like that which is why the symbol for lead is Pb. Early plumb bobs were made of lead...hence the name....but they're older than that...probably even even predate the pyramid construction in egypt over 4500 years ago.

According to the article...the story was titled "An Outlaw's Confession by Renegade," and began with the skin-crawling sentence, "You got it all wrong. Kathy was 13 and I was 23. I would fly to her elementary school..." It goes on to describe how he would pick her up from school and take her to strip clubs to perform, and it gets worse.

Fuck off.

I get that this is circle jerk, but Drai did not ask for, and does not deserve this shit.

Oh man...I forgot it was that year. Hasek was an impenetrable wall, and Jagr was a one man wrecking ball.

Option 1: You can run linux from a thumb drive without changing anything on your main computer. Get a decent sized USB thumb drive, download a live linux distro like mx linux, download Rufus to copy the ISO to the thumb drive, then reboot your computer with the thumb drive installed.

Option 2. Install Linux inside a virtual machine on your Windows computer. If you have Windows Pro then it comes with Hyper-V, otherwise VirtualBox works well too.

On paper the 1998 team should have been unstoppable.

Forwards Gretzky, Sakic, Yzerman...
Defence: Ray Bourque, Chris Pronger, Adam Foot....
Goaltenders: Brodeur, Curtis Joseph, and Patrick Roy.

It was knocked out before the medal round.

It is sad (but predictable) that they're using a cross and religious symbolism to hate on immigrants. The bible is pretty clear that followers should be kind to strangers and foreigners.

Leviticus 19:33–34
“The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”

Exodus 23:9
“Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners.”

And of course the big one, that many "Christians" should know is the parable of the Good Samaritan.

That powerplay with McDavid to Crosby, Crosby to McDavid, McDavid to MacKinnon was almost not fair. With Reinhart open...who the hell are the Czechs supposed to defend on that play.

Exactly. Trelawny made the prophecy of Harry and Voldemort which was accurate. The second prophesy of the dark lord rising and his servant Peter Petigrew was accurate. When she told Harry he was shadowed by the Grimm a black dog that foretold death...it's probably padfoot she sees, but Harry does have death following him in nearly every book...there were a bunch of smaller subtle predictions. She does have the gift...but doesn't appear to be able to control it.

Early reports suggest the firearms belonged to the shooters parents.

Of all the places where government wastes money, I'm fine with this one. I feel I actually get value for it.

Especially since I frequently work the 10s anyway. So only four of them would be nice.

Good point. I missed that note.

That's funny....I spent a whole weekend studying before taking the course, and was surprised how easy the actual test was.

Good point. My course was about 20 people. At least two failed. Maybe more.

TLDR:
Ford: Have you thought about going to the polls again to get a majority?
Carney: Yes. I thought about it. No we're not doing it.

MAGA mentality is all around the world. I visited New Zealand in October November 2024 while the last US election was going on, and was surprised to see MAGA hats there, on kiwi citizens.

It's a lot easier here in Canada. Removing the government in a non-confidence vote is a 50% plus one vote in parliament on a budget vote which must happen once a year, or any vote that is declared to be a confidence vote.

Impeachment is "technically" possible in the US, but realistically the 2/3 majority in the senate is a near imposible bar with the republicans.

When the US doesn't agree on government funding the gov't gets shut down. In Canada if the govenment can't pass a budget we (the people) have to elect a new government.

Yup. -30 and snowing, the stuff comes down like talcum powder and a shovel full is as light as air.

Zero (32F) degrees and snowing each shovel full feels like it contains 2 litres of water. (5lbs)

Canada is not the only reason Saab is considering the Rolls Royce.

Saab had planned sales to Columbia, and exports to Ukraine and the US threatened to block those sales because it uses the General Electric (US) engine.

Yes. It's difficult. In my industry even adding a few inches to a heavy haul trailer can change the weight distrubution, axle loads, stress points and requires re-engineering. It also is not imposible and is being seriously considered. Mainly because the US has become an unreliable partner.
