    [Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

    I know the whole thing NEEDS to be about Earth, but if the last one is on Earth as well, that would mean that 3/6 were on Earth before the 20th century started, at a minimum. 1, OK, something has to be here. 2, stretching, but possible via those crazy mystics (Dr. Strange movie). 3? C'mon...

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    I have no reason to dispute his expertise, but the wrinkles about the Union in the article itself raises questions about how they may act. So not that pilots would be unwilling for the extra pay, only that "Union reasons" may prevent as much of that as your father would predict. But I guess...

    American Airlines, failing the holidays again: Oops: American Airlines Accidentally Let Too Many Pilots Take Off For The Holidays Booking error basically. Their internal system apparently just let anybody who requested time off take it. More info in the article about how they're desperately...

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 3 And Beyond

    OK I agree with the Dr. Strange one, what other one do you mean? The Vision doesn't live there, he's wherever the main Avengers compound is I thought? A full listing may be valuable here. Spoilers for the new Thor movie below, as well as a couple others. What others? I'm amazed I...

    Last I heard they were STILL going to fuck over small businesses. So kinda disingenuous on that one.

    New Supreme Court Justice on the way: New Supreme Court justice will be Alberta’s Sheilah Martin Not really much to say about this. The PM has almost-complete authority on whom to appoint, so this'll probably happen.

    Here's the headline: Fecal transplants in a capsule may be as effective as those delivered by colonoscopy: study Published in JAMA as well, so not snake oil. Good to get a less-invasive but still effective treatment for C. Diff. So that's great, but that's not why I posted this: PUN time...

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    As my post said, based on context that's what I thought, but thanks for the explicit confirmation.

    The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

    MIP? Something related to underaged possession of alcohol? The rest of the story is great, but just wondering about that one. The extra-funny part to me here is that where I grew up, the drinking age was 18, and I WAS 18 at my graduation (as were about half of my friends) and so as long as...

    The Tech Random Crap Thread

    MS Patenting the obvious: Microsoft’s Edge browser may soon hide your adult browsing history automatically (patent) Basically, go into "private browsing" mode upon detection of a certain set of websites. One big problem: Containers in Firefox has had this for most of the year (at least)...

    More continuations of this kind of thing: Morneau sides with shareholders, not Canadian workers I don't agree with Parkin on much, but on this issue, I'm with him 100%. Some of the comments in that article raise the idea of why should the company bear the risk, and the employees none? Because...

    The bill would be $2.01 if the NDP had not gotten in (possibly cheaper, if there were more production), and because of them and their carbon tax, it is going to be $3.52/GJ. It's 75% higher (at least) than if the NDP wasn't the government. Pure tax that they've put in. Seems pretty simple...

    Some PAC come up with it and you say "the UCP's lies."? From inference, they're repeating it in the legislature, so there's something to it, but it's also TRUE. And according to the text of the article, the price will be 75% higher because of the tax. If there was no Carbon Tax, the bill...

    Thanks for the bullet points. They helped. Beyond your summary, about $6B is "expected" to be matched by the provinces (we'll see what various provinces say), but the real "watch what happens" thing is that they want to make housing a human right in law in Canada, whatever the hell that...

    BTW, NL announced how they're doing pot: Available in stores to 19 and up: N.L. government unveils rules for legal pot Short answer: Mostly private sales, online sales done by gov't, some gov't sales at liquor stores in communities that's too small for private. Online will serve that need...

    The Internet will never satisfy its lust for Net Neutrality and Bandwidth

    This is interesting: I hope there's a legal way to slow down all internet to this guy. And make sure to offer up a "premium" plan for $4B or something that takes him to 28.8k... and the full plan is only available if ALL people get it, ie: he changes the regulations back to neutrality...
