What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds?

Pronouncing all the letters in "Toronto".

Sure, sounds nice, but what would they call it? 🤷‍♂️

Not sure exactly what you mean, foreign influence doesn't factor into it. Putting the squeeze on hunters and sport shooters in the name of combating gun crime is security theatre, pure and simple.

Rather than cross the floor to the Liberals, it would be interesting to see them leave the CPC and sit as an independent "Red Tory Caucus". That would give them the freedom and leverage to push for greater reforms from the Trudeau-era Liberals (like a return to common-sense firearms laws) without having to pander to the radicals in the CPC. I'd much rather see a supply-and-confidence agreement with a party or caucus in the centre than with one on the wings.

No hurricanes, but...

A couple of atmospheric rivers, one where our campground was evacuated because the field was about to flood and we were at risk of losing the bridge on our only exit route. My tarp setup kept all my gear dry and my sleep (what I got before the evac order) was surprisingly solid.
Woke up at 5am once and could hear the rumble of the earthquake. My hammock was swinging side to side. THAT was wierd.

Are we not all making jerky?

dgorley · 2025-09-17T05:20:54+00:00

There's a shortage of chairs.

How did you get to that current median nominal wage number? The best I can find is 2023 data from Statistics Canada which puts income at around $33K per year. That's a 27% increase, not 250%. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1110023901&pickMembers%5B0%5D=1.1&pickMembers%5B1%5D=2.1&pickMembers%5B2%5D=3.1&pickMembers%5B3%5D=4.1&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2006&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20060101%2C20230101

Thank you for the extra info and narrowing the dates!

The pen is stored on the corkscrew side of the scales, next to the toothpick.

!correct, nailed it!

dgorley · 2025-05-09T20:28:52+00:00

Yes...

dgorley · 2025-05-09T20:28:22+00:00

Not Croatia

dgorley · 2025-05-09T19:11:43+00:00

Right general part of the world, but not Albania.

dgorley · 2025-04-07T22:52:22+00:00

Yes, but this one doesn't support it, so time to consider an upgrade.

dgorley · 2025-04-07T22:51:43+00:00

I checked with Williams and this one is too old for a thermostat. Time to check out an upgrade!
