In the country I grew up in, trying and failing to commit crimes is still a crime. The act itself is the crime, not the success of it. Unfortunately these days it seems like the better determinant of whether something is a crime is someone&

Oh, so the 'debunking' is not on whether or not an attempted mass murder/arson occurred, but that there is no "direct linkage" between the occupation and the crime. What that likely means is that they don't kno

I'm guessing from reading the article that it's not applicable, but does this affect gas barbecues as well? I'm guessing not since they are outdoors. Gas barbecues are pretty common in my neck of the woods, although gas stove

I think the problem is they knew his CV and were interviewing him for a senior role. It's a little manipulative to string him along as interviewing for a senior role when they knew up front they never would have hired him for that role

Thanks for sharing that. My first thought was that there were none on the Great Lakes, which there's already an open issue for as well.

Hawaiian pizza (cheese, ham and pineapple) is normalized here in Canada. I'm not personally a fan, but I have always had a hard time finding it unusual.

I'm assuming you're speaking tongue in cheek, but I thought about why we have problems that the Romans didn't. I don't know about ease of maintenance and access to utilities, but Romans did not have trucks that destroyed

It seems a bit like an unforced error to be dumping Linux a few months before Steam's new Linux-based Steam Link is released.

Downtown Ottawa has a similar steam system too, although I think it's mostly government buildings instead of private, commercial buildings that are hooked up to it.

Same here in Canada. I used to take the train between Montreal and Toronto frequently and I don't actually remember it ever being on time. It usually was 30-60 minutes late, since Via Rail shared rail with freight trains, but had a low

For those of us who were confused (like me), this is not a treasury bond, but a real return bond. It pays interest based on a posted rate, plus additional interest to cover inflation for a period. The inflation rate will change twice a ye

Thanks for your insight. I consider myself reasonably well read, but I had no idea about the (small) scale of the Inquisition. I had always assumed it was much larger than that.
