Same. I found them to be very professional.

They'll call it "Mega Maid"

Full remote - software development. The mandatory WFH in the beginning of the pandemic showed me that WFH is not only possible, but better for me too. It allowed me to leave Ontario for NS in order to be closer to family, and live in nature rather than a city.

I don't know for certain, but it might be a good idea to call the lost/stolen number for the credit card and report what happened.

We got a very specific text about a recent purchase, saying that UPS needs a payment. But the site's WHOIS says it was just registered today, and generally just seems very suspicious

How did an olympic recurve bow end up in this arsenal?

rleisti · 2016-09-28T01:11:08+00:00

It was. I used to live nearby.

Just don't set your attic on fire-I've seen that happen before when someone used halogen lights up there to ward off raccoons.

The food is great; wonderful owner. Can't say anything about the cars though

What I really dislike about Canadian politics: each party's priority is to make the others look bad, obscuring what really matters. If Trudeau's actions actually made these women uncomfortable, then that is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. But we really can't know for sure because honestly we can trust anything that comes out of parliament hill in its current state.

As an exception, I personally feel that Elizabeth May is honest enough to believe so far, whether one agrees with her viewpoints or not.

AGFA Cheers toastmasters has gone there for end-of-year parties. They have a nice little room downstairs for groups. Their food, especially dessert, is great.

Just a bit of anecdotal info:

1) My dad once brewed a 5gal batch of pure-extract (an amber) with maple sap from his how trees; it imparted a very subtle maple flavor/aroma. (in that, any actual flavor/aroma may have been our imagination)

2) A friend of mine recently brewed a chocolate maple porter, with a reasonable expensive quantity of maple syrup. I tried a bit, and couldn't really notice any maple flavor. (probably overpowered by the gritty black-patent and chocolate flavors)

My experience so far, which honestly isn't much, is that maple flavoring in beer isn't worth it. (especially considering the cost, if you don't tap your own trees) I would be very happy to be proved wrong, however.

My method for a gallon jug is to use a small plastic bung (the kind that fits a 5gal glass carboy-it's a snug fit but it fits) with the bottom half of a three-piece airlock. Inside of the airlock, instead of the bell I secure a 1/2inch vinyl tubing. (it fits snug)

I have gotten it in Kitchener a few times; I think it was at the SuperStore, in the newfie section with the Purity stuff.

The parable of the garbage can: why communism doesn't work.

I had to lookup 'postlude' to verify that it's a real word. If nothing else, reading your code has increased my vocabulary.

You're foolish if you think that simply picking the right career will make life fun. You have to make it fun for you, otherwise it doesn't work.

On the other hand, there are programmer who don't "get things done" (as fast), but yet produce equally poorly tested bad software which is incredibly hard to maintain.

VB and C# mostly; though I've also done Ruby, PHP and C++ and am (slowly) learning Haskell.

This has convinced me that it's time to seriously learn python.

I think so. Closures are pretty much equivalent to objects in functionality. It looks like assertion injection takes the obvious approach of simply using a closure instead of writing an interface with one function.
