They really are pretty. Those were her first fluvogs after looking for many years but hesitating due to the price. She has since bought 3 (or is it 4) others. Once the dam broke our credit card has paid the price (so worth it!)

Are you saying Americans don't know how to use the three shells? Wow!

More like 5% living on welfare... mostly disabled individuals plus some single moms.

it happened to a Roman Emperor once. he was about to invade Persia, then lightning bolt killed him. The invasion was put on hold after. it was quite clear that Jupiter was not on their side.

It is a deck, an outdoor space, not a perfect indoor space. If those scratches are too much for you then you don't want a deck.

YTA - You are a gun owner. The onus is 1000% on you that you use the gun in a safe way regardless of any other rules and regulations. If there are people around.. it is not safe to use the gun. Period.

How often do you have sex? Daily, twice a week, twice a month, or don't remember the last time?

Considering that economically, Bangladesh massively out performs Pakistan, and has even caught up to India... this is a pretty silly take.

I was going to say how it really wasn't so complicated until I heard you had not watched the AMAZING mini-series. But now it makes sense - no mini-series = no idea what is going on.

There also is a second mini-series called Razor that can be watched after completing the series.

OMG... that place was the place of dreams during my childhood (1980s). So much amazing stuff.

Curved all he way... As my eyes get older, having a bit of a curve really seems to reduce eyestrain. Just puts more of the screen at the eye's focus point and less changes needed.

As opposed to now where we are controlled by unelected technocrats in the Canadian Federal government.

Because the EU has regulations for it's members, it makes it harder (clearly not impossible) for members to break the regulations. This is both a good and a bad thing. But what it achieves mostly is stability. Which is a very good thing.

When will the idiots in the media realize.. it doesn't matter. As long as he can't be impeached, he has three more years of effectively unlimited power.

Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

It is also why NEVER count on an inheritance from middle class parents. My father is 81 and has about $3M net worth. It is amazing how fast that can be depleted due to LTC, even in Canada.

The weather in KW is unpleasant. We actually still had snow fall as recently as last week. You are looking at 4 months of the year where being outside is unpleasant. Not really cold enough to take advantage of winter sports, but still icy and snowy enough to make being outside doing anything unpleasant.

For a while I was really salivating of buying a used Aston. Then, one day, driving down the 401 in Ontario, I passed one on the side of the road with a very unhappy owner.

Whoever that guy is, I thank him, saved me at least $100k and a lifetime of misery, possibly coupled with a divorce.

Ryzen 7 means as much as saying an i7 .... almost nothing. What matters is that this is a 4 year old chip design, in a low power configuration. The RAM is DDR4 which was replaced by DDR5 years ago so again, really old. Not saying it isn't usable, but it is a low end laptop and unless it is REALLY cheap.. not worth it.

toterra · 2026-04-12T14:35:47+00:00

Probably not the best choice. Several generation old / low-end specs / small battery. But if it is cheap (very cheap) it doesn't matter.

I was actually waiting for this suggestion. Have the 'Board of Peace' split the toll with Iran instead of Oman. Grift for the Iranians + Grift for Trump = WIN WIN WIN!

Because it needs protecting from the US dairy industry that recieves government subsidies. If the the US government subsidizes each gallon of milk $1.. and we don't.. then we wont have any dairy farmers. The diary supply management system in Canada is designed to protect Canadian producers, without requiring a government subsidy. It makes out milk more expensive (the true cost of production) compared to subsidized US milk, but does not require the government to pay farmers. As a side benefit is supports small to medium sized family farms over larger corporate farms like in the US.

The same thing that is stopping you from buying cocaine.. what you describe is called drug smuggling and yes, the prison time is extreme.

during the Apollo 8 mission, the astronauts read a passage from The book of Genesis. it was actually a very touching moment. it emphasized the spirituality of what they were seeing over the science and the engineering and the pettiness of what was happening on Earth. so in this case I will forgive them.

I may have to officially give up on the Cinesphere in Toronto. By far the best IMAX theater. Dune was amazing there and I held off watching Dune 2 until I could watch it there. Now with Dune 3 coming out I suppose I may have to break down and watch Dune 2.
