Not to mention when Russia annexed Crimea, in which the expectation was that Crimea was welcoming (or "welcoming", point is they aren't welcoming the Russians with arms of their own), they sent 40k troops, to somewhere with a

There's barely any uptake in Canada. Not that it matters, the only way you'd get a one-time key to trigger alerts for others is through a PCR test, which public health, as of this moment, will not do PCR test for symptomatic peopl

Well, the original SARS in 2003 had some interesting long term effects: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SARS#Prognosis Some of the HK doctors that got infected had some of these long term effects, IIRC. There's a re

I do recall reading that South Korea does not kid around with it's contact tracing, which was the reason why it went from flareups with the night club patrons, to having things under control. In comparison, countries like Canada (which

It's minus -10C at night for the next couple of nights, given we're expecting snow. 7 day forecast puts it at -20C at night. They're staying in the cabs at night, and they can blare their horn, if there's fuel.

That's the real reason why the heavy towing companies don't want to do it. This all started with an epic failure by the OPS and the city of Ottawa for allowing vehicles right up the hill in the first place. They don't have pr

Load of bullshit that the air brakes can't be released. The air horns that they've been blaring at 100-120db (or more) is tied to the air system that supplies the brakes. If they can blare the horn, they've got air pressure t

You know they're blasting air horns in residential streets, right? Air horns that are 100-120db range, typically found on semis, not counting aftermarket soupped up ones. https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-

I haven't live in that era, so maybe it's not my place for me to say whether Morris was particularly soft on him. I think the fact that he said that it was the president's responsibility, that revealed a lot about him. On the

I'd argue the US has not tried to understand the enemy since the Cuban missile crisis. There are more failures outside of Afghanistan, and I think the US is going to walk right into another one.

Too little, too late. Looking at Parliament Hill where this "trucker" protest is happening, where some literally cite the crackpot on Rogan's podcast as gospel that the mRNA vaccines are bad. That and Rogan basically put more

There's a fast difference between what you've describe, and what's being done as describe by the article. Intergraph is probably not the only company that drops off gear and encourage students into a possible career. There ar

Most definitely. Most of the time I don't even see people wearing their surgical mask properly. Hell, I just went to a medical clinic, and the assistant there didn't even press the nose wire completely against the nose. And that&#

They're not going to wonder if it's professional to lay you off if their finances turn shitty. If you've got the means to leave and do a job search again, I think you absolutely should.

Not exactly new. The old BlackBerries allows you to "turn off" the device and have the alarm wake you up. It basically drops into a low power mode. It was easy to make a phone dead. You yanked out the batteries.

The US being "invaded" is far less likely. Canada is its ally / vassal. Mexico itself isn't terribly strong. If anyone attempts to springboard via either would serves as early warning for the US and they'd take the
