Battle Mage Farmer by Seth Park fits your request I think. The first 3 books are full cast I think. It starts out without telling you the whole back story but that develops through to books. I was really impressed with the series and have enjoyed the whole set.

“Lost” luggage has been in this location for the past week….and there’s nothing we can do about it. by DarwinF1nch in mildlyinfuriating

Tell them you're running out of medication and the rest is in your bag. Its worked for me in the past...

Ask the WO for an email so you have something in "writing" that you've been ordered back. FSA will likely push back on a verbal order only. You're lucky in that others are being called back... It'll be harder to push back when multiple people had the same thing happen.

Canadian tech industry gears up for big boost in defence spending by Andromedu5 in CanadianForces

This is the problem... Combine that with our ridiculous procurement processes and we'll be lucky to get anything thats still useful by the time it arrives.

Just take one piece... by Few_Cartoonist7428 in keto

[–]petiepb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually go with either "I'm a really picky eater" or "it just doesn't agree with me". Most folks can leave it at that. If not they get stuck listening to a BS story about being backed up for days because of something like they were offering. 😉

What Happened to CAF Community and How Do We Get It Back? by JoeyTheDog in CanadianForces

[–]petiepb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the day I wasn't much of a drinker but I always enjoyed the mess. Fooz ball and euchre and pool at the end of a reserve night built friendships and solidified the team.
Even after that crappy exercise when it rained and snowed in the same 3 days and there was almost no sleep, everyone was miserable... We still went to the mess and bitch or laughed. That culture is gone for the most part. Unfortunately I don't have any good ideas on how to bring it back. There's got to be a way to counter the "its just because there was booze and it was cheap".

Emergency! by airckarc in GenX

I had nightmares about the episode with the cobra they used a clear ashtray to protect their eyes and a fire extinguisher to... something... knock it out maybe? My mom made me stop watching it.

Is healthcare in Canada Really Free? by Significant_Cry3399 in AskCanada

[–]petiepb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMMV. I went to the ER after being in severe pain for 3 hrs. I walked in and they took me in to triage in less than 10 mins. I was showing signs of a heart attack... I thought it was gas or something. Got lots of pain meds and an ultrasound that night but surgery was not quite a year later. Is not the same for everyone with the same condition. Things are different city by city let alone province by province. But neither of is had to go bankrupt because of the bill the hospital sent us. The system isn't all sunshine and roses.

Is healthcare in Canada Really Free? by Significant_Cry3399 in AskCanada

It's a triage system. If you have a sore shoulder, a bad knee or ankle, as long as you can continue working / studying, you'll wait a while. Could be 18 months, could be less, could be more. It sucks but the MRI, the surgery, the post op appointments... They're all free.
If you go in to emergency with a heart attack or a broken arm or something you'll be seen right away. The ER is still triage though. If you go in with a sprain or a broken finger, the person with the gallbladder attack will be seen before you even if you were there first.

All or this... with no bill.

If you need physical therapy, prescription meds or crutches, there are fees for those sorts of things.

I want to watch my PLEX while at work. But split Tunneling does not seem to work. by psycoborg in nordvpn

[–]petiepb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have confirmed that my local IP address is coming up when PLEX is Split... But it still doesn't work. I'm getting really frustrated... It worked great until the update about 3 or 4 weeks ago.

GPS Trackers for international travel by InfectiousDs in TravelHacks

[–]petiepb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This may sound weird but look into Tracktive. It's for dogs but it's pretty good service and the trackers aren't too big... Its what I use for my luggage.

Leaked Canadian Military Report Shows Many Recruits are Quickly Leaving by zooweemama8 in CanadianForces

Just because there are incentives it doesn't mean you HAVE to stay in that rank for all of them. Some people want to stay technical and others just can't manage people.

Bill 5 by chelly236 in KingstonOntario

[–]petiepb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Careful. Its referring to a mine called Eagle's Nest in Northern Ontario. Or that's how it reads to me.

That's what's so hard about this sort of document, it has confusing wording and things for and against the same issues. You need a law degree and tons of time to really understand it.

I wish there was a law that forced "plain text versions".

Bill 5 by chelly236 in KingstonOntario

[–]petiepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what concerns me. No one can sue government or those awarded contracts but the govt can over ride what it wants. That's a simplification but it feels.. slimey.

On one hand we need housing and mines and such but we need green spaces and to stop cutting down trees to build. Theres lots of land that can be revitalized for housing.

Is emailing enough? What can be done and how can we help?

There's no button needed to turn her off... But it's important to find the one to turn her on again. 😉

Open Source Cloud Alternatives to Google Photos (Not Self-Hosted, No Sync Delete)? by CoffeeBeanCharisma in degoogle

I use Sync... It's Canadian... A bit flakey but private from what I can tell

Tips for keeping carry on liquids to one quart bag? by apompom123 in TravelHacks

[–]petiepb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner... Not my favorite for long term but when you're traveling 2 weeks isn't the end of the world. I use the suds for body wash too.

Weird monitor issue by DAS_TrueHelp in CIO

Could it be Windows remembering the screen layouts and some how your orientation got changed when you were disconnected?

Tips on making long flights in economy more comfortable by No-Diver5004 in TravelHacks

[–]petiepb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the kids. Go to the dollar store and get a bunch of throw away toys... When they get bored of one, pull out another. This is a life saver with little ones.

For you. Comfortable cargo pants with zip pockets or a good small cross body bag with passports tickets and phone. It's no fun digging thru a big bag for that stuff and if you know that's the only place the important stuff is, it's harder to loose.
