ahh. I know the exact month and year as well. March 2004.

Also probably fair to include burnout, chronic-fatigue/post-viral/long-covid, moderate to clinical depression, anhedonia, cardiac problems, auto immune diseases. Tired and fatigued…

I disagree with this. An entire business day is a long time to do nothing. I've always loved jobs where there was enough strategic direction to know what to focus on but enough lat…

Just because covid turned out to be a global disaster doesn't mean everything will be. There were multiple SARS outbreaks in the ever so pleasant 2000's. Oh Ebola might have gone a…

I thank them for keeping my kids safe, but I do blame them for making traffic a bit too heavy.

Setting aside the normal disgust I have for this process, I did some googling to make sure there wasn't some important reason why this isn't a repulsive process. "the Comprehensive…

Thanks for posting the link so I didn't have to.

Same. Started in early 2004 and never let up. I had been in Toronto quite a bit in 2003 and coincidentally there was a SARs event that broke out in Toronto that year. I was sick se…

You might be a bit arrogant, or driven, or passionate. You are surrounded by people that might be lazy, less intelligent, or less capable. Odds are that you are enthusiastic to emb…

Some people have genetics that make mu and delta opiate receptors respond to alcohol in an unfortunate way. Easy fix, just don't be born as one of those people /s.

Ahh well. Good game all. It's been two years, we are never escaping this.

If they haven't found anything better than turbine engines and jet fuel there is no way.

Wow the Cirrus is looking pretty good for how much damage it did to the Metro. Flight surfaces are still there and it's only broken in half of the parachute landing. Guessing it mi…

Ahh boy that title. Clicking on the link to probably realize that this is totally harmless and my initial reaction is due to how much I've been stuck inside for a year.

I wouldn't be too cocky if you're healthy. I got hit with a nasty flu in the early 2000's and never recovered. It was like someone flicked a switch and I went from young perfectly …

It is an equity exchange where investors, tax payers, the Federal government, and the fixed income market subsidize stock buy backs and executive bonuses. I'm joking but it is alar…

I agree with you, but would like one counterpoint. There are plenty of planes that are aerodynamically unstable and require fly by wire/computers for satisfactory flight characteri…

There is a good book called The Victorian Internet that covers the development of long distance communication up to the electric telegraph. People did all the same stuff with it. F…

Prototyping, hobbyists, people who host a site about cats and don't need 1000 extra lbs of server side weight. Spinning up a simple API to learn a new client side library. Anywhere…

Anyone care to guess what the ratio is between trans people that are offended by the pronoun issue vs liberal college kids that are offended on behalf of the trans community? Yes I…

No one actually cares, but a small minority will throw a temper tantrum for political leverage. Google doesn't actually care either. I hate call it virtue signaling but that's tota…

I was using this particular case as an example of why those of us in the U.S should be grateful for the First Amendment. You understood that from the beginning but it rubbed you th…

I get the impression that you are asking that not because you don't know the answer, but because this is a politically motivated topic for you and you don't like the implication.

Well not to worry. There are plenty of Americans that openly advocate to make offensive speech illegal. THEN it will be time to live in fear of the state because a cartoon could ha…

By 'could happen' do you mean 'already happened'? What about the guy with the pug?
