In the middle ages, it was the monasteries that kept the arts of beer brewing and wine making alive.

I remember going to see a high-tech nursing home, where they had video conferencing with doctors and remote sensors for falls and things like that. That was in about 2000 or 2001. Yes, they are still talking about it.

And I just moved from a province in Canada where the provincial government has to law forcing municipalities to remove bike Lanes, and disallowing people from suing the government for any death or injury caused by a removed bike lane.

It’s not getting better.

Of course, for the majority of Canada, an e-bike is (like bicycles and motorcycles) only safely usable about 7 months of the year. If you need a car for the other 5 months, it doesn’t always make sense to have an e-bike as well.

It’s worth pointing out that Elon left South Africa in 1988, before Mandela was released and apartheid was abolished. He would have experienced the full brunt of the racism (on the good side, of course).

The thing is, Bernie stole money from rich people. That’s the unforgivable sin.

I’ve sent you the key for ABZU. Thanks for the heads-up about RandomActsOfGaming, I will post there from now on!

The vast majority of these were obtained as part of a bundle. Humble Bundle since 2010, BundleStar (now Fanatical) since 2013, IndieGala, probably other charity bundles. There might be 10-15 games in bundle, of which I want only a couple, and also many duplicates across bundles.

Can you give me an idea of what kind of games you like? Or you could look them up on Steam to get a better idea.

You now have a 911 Operator key. Ho ho ho!

This is a really good idea. I have over 1,000 extra Steam keys. I will try to post some each day and randomly choose recipients (only one per customer each day!):

I just moved to get back from Ontario, and my car insurance doesn’t seem to have changed much. On the other hand, I was able to buy a house for 2/3 or less of what it would have cost anywhere in Southern Ontario.

We have discovered some drawbacks, but all in all it has been a positive experience.

I wonder if this is just the new way to legally pay off Trump q? Anyone who sues immediately settles for large sums of money. You can’t even question it, because it’s how the legal system is supposed to work.

Foreign governments and corporations can pay him off just as easily and blatantly as domestic ones.

Even decades later, that phrase never fails to make me laugh.

For anyone who doesn’t know it, former Prime Minister John Chretien is from Shawinigan (note spelling). One day, an angry man made it past his security detail and started shouting at the prime minister. Chretien grabbed the man by the throat until his security officers could hustle him away, and ever since then the move has been known as the Shawinigan handshake.

What do you think this is, Russia?

My grandfather had polio, and walked with a can his entire life. At least that’s what I can tell from pictures, he died before any of his grandchildren were born.

My parents were happily using Mint for about 5 years, until my brother took over the it support role, and was uncomfortable trying to troubleshoot issues in Linux.

That’s why you end up with an army that is too powerful for anyone civilian to resist.

A couple of issues with that. For one thing, the uranium coming out of the CANDU reactors has been purified, unlike uranium ore which is mixed in with huge amounts of stone and other materials and it’s natural state.

Also, as I understand it the reactors convert about 1% of the uranium into plutonium, which is much more toxic and emits more radiation.

So while there may not be as great a danger as some people fear, there is definitely more than an equivalent amount of natural uranium.
