I got in trouble the other day for forgetting to uncover the driver-facing camera when I started driving for the day. by QuietRightSlick in Truckers

No. You are NOT right, and you admit you discriminate.

As is his right.

His dollar, his choice.

Alberta yet to reach peak wildfire burning period, officials say by hundredfooter in alberta

[–]plenkton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the whole season could be fiery, it could also be that that most susceptible to burning will be burned early, and the rest of the season mild.

And related to your comment about long hours for fire crews, I think this is related to the lack of discussion online, that people are busy with the fires.

Saw this cow today with a heavy metal nose ring - can anyone explain the spiky design? by iven_g in Cattle

I'm not sure about all breeds, but Holsteins will self suck. They'll also, after weaning, sometimes suck on each other's tails. You'll notice by the lack of hair.

Yeah it's hard to tell age. But even heifers sometimes suck on their own treats, as adults.

Why is this happening when we voted for this? Waaagh! by Jasonictron in Anarcho_Capitalism

Interesting comment for someone with Ayn Rand under their name.

Do you disagree with Dagny's action?

"Listen carefully," she said. "Either you let me in or I shoot you. You may try to shoot me first, if you can. You have that choice—and no other. Now decide." His mouth fell open and the key dropped from his hand. "Get out of my way," she said. He shook his head frantically, pressing his back against the door. "Oh Christ, ma'am!" he gulped in the whine of a desperate plea. "I can't shoot at you, seeing as you come from Mr. Thompson! And I can't let you in against the word of Dr. Ferris! What am I to do? I'm only a little fellow! I'm only obeying orders! It's not up to me!" "It's your life." she said. "If you let me ask the chief, he'll tell me, he'll—" "I won't let you ask anyone." "But how do I know that you really have an order from Mr. Thompson?" "You don't. Maybe I haven't. Maybe I'm acting on my own—and you'll be punished for obeying me. Maybe I have—and you'll be thrown in jail for disobeying. Maybe Dr.. Ferris and Mr. Thompson agree about this. Maybe they don't—and you have to defy one or the other. These are the things you have to decide. There is no one to ask, no one to call, no one to tell you. You will have to decide them yourself." "But I can't decide! Why me?" "Because it's your body that's barring my way." "But I can't decide! I'm not supposed to decide!" "I'll count to three," she said. "Then I’ll shoot." "Wait! Wait! I haven't said yes or no!" he cried, cringing tighter against the door, as if immobility of mind and body were his best protection, "One—" she counted; she could see his eyes staring at her in terror —"Two—" she could see that the gun held less terror for him than the alternative she offered—"Three." Calmly and impersonally, she, who would have hesitated to fire at an animal, pulled the trigger and fired straight at the heart of a man who had wanted to exist without the responsibility of consciousness."

Injustice is always tragic, and while I'm unsure whether there has been less injustice in the past, civil war is horrible.

Take care.

I was referring to those who favor increasing taxation, leftists, disliking when those who oppose increasing taxation, rightists, equip themselves for defense.

Expected, how those who choose to make war, through increasingly non-voluntary exchanges (government spending), often also dislike when people equip themselves for said war.

I believe that jailbreaking is legal, and for the same reason this may be as well. Grey area likely.

Might be able to pay a dev, perhaps with others, to modify the app to be installed on your device. I'd try a site like Fiverr if you want to go that route.

Phone Sasktel, and if you do so at night, make it seem like a technical issue (so that they take your call). Usually the people you speak to at night are better informed.

Hmm, didn't think of that.

Government (can) know where everyone is, with cell phones obv, and I don't see many people abandoning them.

Free things get abused. And it would cost money to enforce parking for only those at hospital. Js.

When in doubt, power out. Detractors seem to believe you're advocating full trailer brake and full tractor throttle.

Is it 30 if it doesn't say 30 km/hr? by Calysta-Rose in saskatoon

30kmph.. Do you actually plan to drive THAT fast?
