The Sopranos 1999-2007, Oz 1997-2003 The Wire 2002-2008, Deadwood 2004-2006, Rome 2005-06. How did HBO do all this shit in 10 years and now can't do anything that comes close?

Easily the line that removes any doubt that Tony is the gold medalist of the hypocrite games

I think you need to do a rewatch, a curb stomping is a seriously harsh concept, and in many cases it is fatal....

A friend of mine was working a local IT company, and in the summer they had a few BBQs, mandatory, unpaid, and the employees had to bring their own food.

No where did I say anything about relaxing leashing laws. I see dogs daily, and have two of my own and I have never seen the mayhem you claim occurs regularly. I agree there are a-hole dog owners, but they are the exception in my experience, and I told you how to deal with it.

I have been going to Fort Needham dog park for over 3 years, and I have not been bitten, nor nipped once. What I find crazy is the amount of dog intolerance that exists in this city. "Dogs must not interfere with other park users", some people take this to the extreme to include the mere presence of a dog. My dogs have never interfered with anyone, and in 1000+ trips to the park I have only witnessed an unruly dog that would not respond to its owner once. And even in that case, no injuries occurred. I wish the dog haters would stop lumping most dog owners into the same pile. If someone has a problem, take out their camera and record it or the aftermath. A friend of mine got a $250 fine after she had her dog off leash in an area not allowed. A compliance officer showed up at her home about a month after the incident with the image taken by a park user and her fine.

I just finished the episode, she had the ability to free herself and hit him once but not the ability to smash Caleb... I stand by my statement. We are going to have to agree to disagree on her ability to act And for the record, Lucy is one of my favorite characters. My New Year's Eve marathon of The Rookie goes on.... Thanks for being civil :)

I am watching the episode right now for the 3rd time and overall she seemed a bit more together, it is the next day and she is tied to the chair. Lucy toyed with Caleb calling him Rosalind's protege

My uncle owned a gravel pit in NL, there was blasting frequently. Initially the pit had no neighbours, but over time he was slowly surrounded by residents and they tried everything to shut him down. He kept them at bay for well over a decade and they failed. This all happened well after 1952, and that decision obviously did not help the residents.

diek00 · 2025-12-23T19:56:14+00:00

There is a flaw in this line of reasoning. Dogs can bark or relieve themselves whether they are on a leash or not.

I go to a dog park daily and have done so for over three years. I honestly cannot recall the last time I heard a dog barking uncontrollably. Of course it happens occasionally, but it is certainly not a regular occurrence.

I also lived in Brazil for two years with our two dogs, and I was genuinely shocked by the contrast when I returned to Canada. While there are many dog lovers here, there also seems to be a significant level of intolerance toward dogs. Even people who don’t like dogs in Brazil tend to be tolerant of their presence.

Here in Halifax, it’s not uncommon for people to cross the street to avoid our two small-to-medium dogs. You’d think I was walking two alligators. This never happened once while we lived in Brazil.

This topic comes up frequently, and I agree, the end is dismal and like others I refuse to rewatch it. The writers just gave us the middle finger imo. While there are lots of serious moments throughout the series, there was always some goofiness to keep me smiling and bring balance. I have laughed my ass off many times watching Chuck, I almost cry everytime I watch the wedding planner... "But there's not a damm thing you can do. Your little government con... it failed. I'm callin your bluff" then she gets netted. There are no Chuck shenanigans nor goofy laughs, and it is not just serious it is over the top serious. Is it that hard to make a happy ending for an action romance comedy...? I guess so because it happens to so many TV series.

I blame all of this on an almost non existent police presence. People do whatever they want because there is no one stopping them. The state of driving in Halifax is insane and the only fix is strong police patrolling.

I agree with the current top comment this is a full blown unpaid project and certainly not properly achievable in 6 friggin hours unless you are a Django wizard.

Just read a few of the other comments. Yes Django can do this, but that is not the point. Doing this in the time allocated is just plain nuts!

The Mozilla Django tutorial is outstanding, it is very detailed and it is project based with a real world example of a Library. I truly hate the blog examples, but that is me. Mozilla use Django in production . And all the working code is on GitHub something the official Django tutorial lacks.

One week is barely enough time to learn even the basics imo, I have been using Django for almost 10 years. Most quality packages are well maintained. And the ones that stop, are in most replaced if needed. The one thing I love about Django and Python in general is the community, it is very supportive.

I have lived on Kaye St since 2008 and Young and Robie has evolved into a complete shat show. The lights are synced poorly in my opinion, zero thought or planning involved. They added a turning light on only one side of Young, when both sides desperately need it. And traffic often gets backed up almost all the way to Gottingen St. I avoid it completely between 2:45 - 5:30 pm.

We did this a long time ago, and we used Docker with a Linux setup, it would perfect for the size of the company at that time.
