    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Come to Halifax. She already liked Canada (other coast, but still), the weather is better than the UK (not a LOT, but still better), and the food is NOT boring at all. And you'd have a support system of friends here, which would probably count for a LOT. Want a university? We have enough to...

    [News] Bolsheviks Take over Russia

    Once again, I say this board needs a "WTF?" rating. I'd say it was a bad rumour gone wild if not for the reference to 1946.

    There's a number of laws (often surrounding Drunk Driving) that don't require a conviction (side-of-the-road stuff) and there's consequences IMMEDIATELY. The OP talked about threatening your wife with a gun. I think that would be INCREDIBLY hard to get a conviction on if not in public, and...

    [News] Bolsheviks Take over Russia

    Oh, and as usual, the CBC with the more "sympathetic" reporting: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russian-revolution-100-years-communism-1.4387106 (there are people here who call the CBC the "Communist Broadcasting Corporation" for good reason IMO) I can't believe that even in Russia that they...

    I agree in principal, though IMO just about any legal consequence should require a conviction. Of something. But extra-judicial "justice" is as bad as "law through executive order" IMO. Not a factor in this specific case, as he WAS convicted.

    The Awesome Videos Thread (with Extra Sauce!)

    Same guy, best video I've seen in YEARS: I've had to account for all of this except Gregorian/Julian, and Leap Seconds in code I've had to maintain. LAST WEEK!!! No shit, I fixed a bug on this stuff last week in our product because MICROSOFT has a bug in one of its functions relating to this...

    [News] Bolsheviks Take over Russia

    100 Years ago today, the Bolsheviks (Soviets) took over Russia, starting one of the bloodiest times in human history of Communist prominence. Often called Red October, that is more "apropos" than they meant it, given the body count their government racked up against civilians. (FYI: Russia...

    Similar here, though not as bad. I always need at LEAST twice as much numbing as anybody else, but the real bad part is that it wears off quickly as well. So they're partway through and sometimes need to re-up the freezing before proceeding. That's the REALLY big annoyance.

    Canadian Politics

    Ya, while that does once in a while bring up the whole idea of "Random" representation being an interesting concept (basically like Jury Duty, except you're an MP), it would probably make people MORE bribe-able/corruptible, as then they don't even need the appearance of lack of conflict in order...

    Canadian Politics

    "Paradise Papers" and Canada: Paradise Papers: Jean Chrétien fires back, denies holding offshore accounts The headline is about Chretien, but it has a small summary about everybody "big" implicated/connected. I'm no Liberal fan, but the connection to Martin is particularly tenuous, given...

    I wonder how this will play out for the guy who attacked the shooter: 'Defenceless people': 26 shot dead at Texas church Haven't heard much about them yet other than that line.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    A guy in my homeroom in High School was around 6'2" or so, but size 16 feet. I'm huge tall, but (relatively) small feet for the height, but stupid width. 6'7" tall, but size 13 with 4E width.

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    The worst part of that article IMO is that I found out that at some point those "people" said New Balance was their official shoes. I LIKE their shoes. They make them in ridiculous widths, which are what my feet are. I didn't "dig in" to see if there was a REASON why they endorsed them...

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    It's enough of a "wtf?" that I decided to post this one here: Saskatchewan man finds mysterious brand-new house in his farm field I'd say "only in Saskatchewan" but I could see this general type of thing happening in Newfoundland too.
