If you have money and a clean background you can go anywhere you want (with some exceptions), regardless of your passport. There are companies you can contact who will handle the entire visa process for you.

I'm not, that's why I know PCI DSS requirements off-hand.

Just to be the king of this pedantic hill it's actually Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation.

Glad to hear it. When I worked for a NHS software vendor a couple years ago there were still XP workstations about. I guess it probably varies by the trust as well.

Yep, NHS for example.

They say this in the first paragraph: > follow the automaker's recommended service intervals. If I had a Prius I might change my oil every year. I instead follow the manufacturer (Ford) provided service schedule for my car. I have a

I don't need to do any maintenance, but I do it to protect my investment. Not sure why you think that failing to change oil will not cause sludge build up, google 'engine sludge' and every result will say the most common ca

Because your RAM or video card failing (hard to stretch this metaphor lol) won't take your motherboard with it. Sludge buildup in an engine is easily prevented with frequent oil changes and will help you keep your car on the road witho

I do drive a fair bit, easily over 10k miles in a year. Changing oil frequently may sound like a ripoff but doing it on time helps you avoid more expensive service down the road. I've seen enough pictures of engines full of sludge beca

> nearly all consumer cars sold in the past 3 decades only require about 1 service trip a year, and that includes changing oil. Simply not true, and the linked article doesn't support that statement either. Try looking at a mainten

Most people take their car in to a service centre for even basic maintenance, which is why I mentioned it. Obviously a Tesla doesn't have engine oil, but it has other wear items. Since you do some basic maintenance yourself this easily

by DKnoll 7y ago
If you've brought your car in for service only 6 times in 4 years you're either doing some service yourself or falling behind on your maintenance schedule. In 4 years you should be changing your oil alone at least 8 times, 16 if y

With a criminal record it will be extremely difficult to get a visa, let alone residency, in Canada or the UK. You would need to get a pardon, wait like a decade from the time of your last conviction or find some other way to prove your reh

You only have that issue if you search by the model of your PC. For Dell, search by the service tag (short string of letters and numbers) and you will get the drivers for only the hardware that PC shipped with. For HP enter the serial numbe

I'm CompTIA A+ certified. It cost me $0 (paid for by an employer when I was 16) and I think I overpaid. I'm not sure that they have shifted away from being a certification body, they still issue a lot of certifications. I don&#x27

If you play games a lot it will quickly become cheaper to buy a high end PC. But if you're like me and only game a couple hours a week on average, it ends up being cheaper than getting a new top-of-the-line PC every 3 years to continue

Personally I would consider caffeine more impairing than nicotine but I don't think either are a big concern as far as impairment goes. Impairment on those substances is probably best handled in law with the same general, hand-wavey su

In Ontario at least sales of alcohol and tobacco are very different from how cannabis is sold. Somebody not familiar with the country might say "well Dylan, that's Ontario, what about the other 12 provinces and territories?"

There are many groups who don't just try to paint it as a failure, they strongly believe it is one. No disinformation campaign needed, they just speak their firmly held beliefs and real perceptions. Most of the actual failures fall on
