I babysat a brother and sister in the early 90s and we played Mousetrap properly after dinner to kill time until bedtime. Worst babysitter ever.
Then I let them stay up past bedtime while we figured out the most cursed modifications/add-ons. Best babysitter ever.
(In truth, I remember that I had talked with the parents beforehand about "stated bedtime" versus "real bedtime".)
Shoulda known better than to drive [Private] to Publix. That's how they get ya.
If parliament is prorogued until March 24th, then I guess they're not going to hit the March 19th deadline to resolve the unconstitutional "Lost Canadians" issue: https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/court-blasts-trudeau-government-for-delays-in-passing-lost-canadians-bill/article_5f2076be-b982-11ef-97b5-b76bc081d0ec.html
Remember when Kevin O'Leary considered running for the leadership of the Conservative party, but dropped it because he's too stupid to speak French? I love the fact that our two official languages saved us from getting our own Trump wannabe.
This was my first thought, too.
I started taking antidepressants a few months ago to treat ADHD-related anxiety and depression. (The doctor suggested that I could try ADHD-specific meds, but pointed out that I'm already a relatively successful adult, so clearly I've built coping mechanisms over the years.)
I'm surprised by how much more rational I've become when dealing with stuff.
I first really noticed it when I was crossing at an intersection and a driver turning right didn't see me and almost hit me. She slammed on the brakes and waved her hands in a clearly startled and apologetic way. Before the meds I probably would have flipped her the bird and had my heart pounding in my ears for the next half hour as I seethed with anger. Now, my thought was "She made a mistake. I'm fine. She knows she made a mistake and she'll certainly be more careful next time. It's okay."
That's not to say that I don't get angry anymore. I just get angry about stuff that matters or where I can change something. It feels a lot healthier.
Standard disclaimer: I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice. It's just my anecdotal experience. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting tested for depression and/or anxiety. (I had never thought to before this year, because in my youth I was just called "disorganized", "lazy", and "scatterbrained".)
Around 500k without power in the Seattle area.
(Posted in the dark as I'm told that we should expect power by around noon on Saturday.)
What national ID?
The US doesn't have a national ID card. I have a federally-issued ID card as a lawful permanent resident, but the typical US citizen has what? Their main proof of citizenship is their birth certificate, issued by their state, and doesn't have a photo (and if it did, would probably be a baby photo). The people with passports tend to have enough money to travel internationally, which is a pretty small proportion of the population (as it's a big country, so even a lot of people who can afford vacations will vacation in the next state over at most).
The quick adjustments to tileable blueprints sound amazing. Such a great idea!
Somehow I thought the pipette on water to get an offshore pump (like how you can pipette on an ore field for a miner) was already a thing. That and the quick access to landfill will save so much time when designing nuclear plants.
The spidertron stuff sounds nice too, but they're usually so late game that I haven't minded the slightly clunky v1.1 status quo.
False. The Liberals are generally centre-right even within Canada. Your compass is off.
Your Newtonian physics argument is nonsensical and frankly rude.
