Lawler suggests that he’s getting around $5000 per piece and there were three pieces, so that’s around $15k going to the local skating rink.

Well some people called it the Iraq War but it was the same war started by his daddy so we just called it Gulf War 2.0. It still lingers, mission was not accomplished.

I don’t have any of the footage sadly. The documentary never got made. I don’t think anyone has used the footage, probably sitting in a university archive somewhere.

However there were regular marches of notable size in both Windsor and Detroit, which were loosely coordinated with the millions marching elsewhere around the world. People showed a fair bit of opposition.

I think some of that energy segued into the Occupy movement too.

The number of empty houses in North America is absurd. Zoning and regulatory structure are as much an issue as construction.

The gulf war under Bush Junior saw millions of people marching regularly for months. I shot over 800 hours of video of those marches myself, in Detroit and Windsor.

I was once watching a grizzly and cub way up near the treeline, from a well hidden spot. Then we saw the wolverine and the bear smelled it around the same time and took off with her cub at a swift trot.

We agreed and hid more until we were sure the wolverine wouldn’t see us, then trotted away ourselves. Two of the world’s most badass predator species just scrambling to get away from the little murder rug. Won’t forget that.

In Canada in places where it gets really cold, it used to be common to plug in your car for the block heater in your engine.

No no no no, I keep looking at cats and being grateful that they are so small. Why would you create A.I. based on a predator?

Sherrif you say so, I guess…

(For those wondering at the joke this far down the thread… it’s “corporeal punishment”–corporal is a rank.)

Yeah, seargent punishment is worse, not to mention detective punishment, or even undercover punishment.

.308 pricing reasonable on a per-bear-stopping basis, but makes a mess of dinner.

Canadians have a lot of guns, for hunting and for fun. Most of them are long, though, because handguns are heavily regulated and a bit of a hassle so pretty much just a firing range thing. We don’t have a lot of gun deaths compared to the USA, and it’s not just culture. It’s the handguns.

S.O.B.

SAVE OUR BEEF

Nobody said that. Absolutist BS like this leads to dogma.

If you live in the USA, you inevitably support the government. Not voting supports the greater evil, voting supports the lesser evil.

So vote, and organize anarchist enclaves, or socialist groups, or justice NGO’s. Sink or swim.

I am all in favour of being frugal and shopping by price, but you are missing some of the value proposition when you talk about local stores.

In theory, what you are getting when you buy from a local store is the entire brick and mortar experience. This includes a knowledgable sales person who can talk to you and answer a bunch of questions and give you perspective, maybe even an expert opinion. You get hands on service for things like wrapping or solving problems or putting stuff on hold. If it’s a bookstore, you get to browse and pull things off the shelf and look through them and touch the books . If it is a clothing store, you get to try things on.

Go ahead and shop online, but at some point, you will run into a wall where having an actual physical experience, with all of the building overhead and staffing, is really what you needed, but it doesn’t exist anymore because everybody bought from Jeff Bezos.

So part of the value proposition is a bit like tax. You invest in your community so that your community doesn’t suck. You get value out of it in that you get to live in a place that sucks less than a place that was sucked dry by Walmart.

Huh. The downvotes suggest lurker brigades, as your comment is reasonable discussion and any one who disagrees could just join the discussion. That sucks.

Sure, be repelled by the dork, but stay away because of the unsafe lack of tactile dashboard controls.

It will run macOS 11 Big Sur, which isn’t fully out of date yet.

You will want to install via USB probably. See "use a bootable installer " on the link above.

I would wipe/install.

I mean, yeah, like, it’s a relationship, innit?
