Philips head needs a rating; flathead doesn't, you can just use the "applicable tool" rating instead.
I was thinking it could be used for calling out bullshit.[DOUBLEPOST=1482866279,1482866142][/DOUBLEPOST]
No. Not narrowly specific. They'd be broadly applicable in metaphoric use and comedic punning.

"Needs a lock" is the only one that actually might do something, I think I read somewhere that if a post gets 5 (or was it 7) "Needs a lock" ratings it will be automatically deleted.
I think it just gets hidden
FTFY
Incidentally if *I* had been your secret Santa this year, you would've gotten one.

It really is a shame we don't run this place.
It has!
Btw all you Halifax folks: where can you get a good Donair in the HRM? All the ones so far are a pita flat on the plate, piled with meat (and whatever else), then DRENCHED in sauce. Back west, they're more commonly WRAPPED in a pita (not flat on a plate!), and sauce is applied to it, not the whole thing drenched in it.
Any suggestions? Closer to Bedford is better, but I'm willing to travel to see it done the way I want, since right now the Donair capital of Canada for me is Cochrane, Alberta. There's an AMAZING place there.

@HCGLNS can hopefully help out.
I'm not a fan. I can recommend a few places that I've heard are awesome and that I have had awesome falafels or shawarma at.
Mezza in Burnside is just across Magazine Hill from you. I've heard that their donairs are awesome and they are served in pita wraps. Their falafels are awesome and so is their shawarma.
I've heard even better things about the donairs at Ray's in Burnside. He got forced out of his shop downtown and he opened up in Burnside. His falafels are the best I've had! I can't comment on anything else because I've never gotten past the falafels there.[DOUBLEPOST=1483116583,1483116499][/DOUBLEPOST]@HCGLNS alao orders one at the Pizzadellic near us that is the size of a football and smells like a locker room. It's wrapped in a pita though!

It's a bit chilly here in Saskatoon today.
That's evil!
You can come over here and maul some cats for warmth.

Hey Canadians? The missus and I are heading over to Canadia on a package tour next week. Roughly how cold is Canadia right about now? I know, I know, what kind of idiot arranges a trip to Canadia in the middle of winter, right? Well, that's why the tour was really cheap.
(Also please don't be offended that I haven't tried to arrange any meetups, because as far as I can tell the travel agency's got our daily schedules packed full, so I don't know where and when we'd ever have free time)

I'd pack sun glasses, sun screen, speedos, and weasel repellent. I think that's all you'll really need to survive up there, anyway.
Oh, and goggles, though they do nothing.
Western parts. Vancouver, Banff, Lake Louise.
You'll need rain gear in Vancouver. It only gets to a bit below freezing this time of year.
Banff and Lake Louise are skiing territory, and somewhat chillier - maybe 10 below?? I never lived in those regions.
But Vancouver - expect near freezing and rain.
Awesome!!
And winter trips to Canada are super fun. When I was in Yellowknife the last time for work, our team and a group of military guys were the only business people at the hotel. It was packed with tourists. Every night the lobby was packed with people waiting to be picked up for northern lights tours.
I can't help you, except with stereotypes. My first trip out there ain't happening until later this year.
But yeah, if you want to make sure you have a chance of standing outside comfortably fkr any significant amount of time, you'll want a toque or something else to cover your ears, and insulated gloves or mittens.
I carry them always in winter, because when they're needed, they make being outside far more bearable.
A winter coat might be necessary, although you could probably improvise one by layering on a couple sweaters under a windbreaker (but I never tried this!), and a scarf is nice if you want to bundle up.
Also, winter is awesome when you get to frolic in fresh snow. You'll love what you see in the mountains, I'm sure.

You might be able to rent parkas if needed.
Is Banff an onomatopoeia?
Yeah, it's the sound effect you make when you're in literally one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
There's also a 130 year old castle (hotel) there too. Friend got married there a few years back. Felt very out of place in the joint.

You don't know that, the coldest inhabited place on Earth's in Asia. Maybe he's been lying about what part he's from.
All signs point to "eventually, probably". But don't let that deter you!
Nah, it's been unusually warm. I'm literally having a BBQ for my birthday today (not my birthday today) and probably will only need a hoodie outdoors.
"I'll be warm enough to survive with heavy woolen covering over body and head, when standing in front of a big-ass fire and with a lot of fat/fuel/alcohol around" does not mean it isn't cold
