Only BC, AB, MB and NS restrict body armour sales. If you live in any other province there is no restriction.

Visitor visas still require the 10 years of work history if you are not from a visa-exempt country (like France).

He had a fake French passport. French citizens (along with many other nationalities) do not need a visa to travel to Canada.

Total sales tax ranges 5-15% across all provinces, it never exceeds 15% (unless you include taxes on specific goods, like alcohol).

In regards to 'wrong or annoying,' was there something I could have done or said better, Dan?

“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found

I wouldn't call sending truckloads of boxes of paperwork during discovery to opposing counsel and linking a 238-page PDF with a good ToC and summary equivalent, but I guess the internet has robbed a lot of people of basic research skil

I remember it from news reports at the time. I can't find any documentation now, so it easily could have been Petaki. I can't find a transcript or video of Bush's address to the nation on the day of the blackout though.

Refer to the summary of causes on page 17, as seen in the table of contents.

I don't mean either, I just mean the methodology isn't great.

It would be a better comparison if both systems were on equal footing. In this demonstration the Xubuntu system has swap enabled and the Lubuntu system doesn't. The load averages should also not be taken into consideration as the Lubun

>It's not your place to tell people what they can and cannot say. But under your argument don't I have absolute freedom of speech?

by DKnoll 7y ago
It seems like a noble argument until you consider that the speech you'd be protecting is people calling others, often minors, various slurs. If you doubt this play a few matches of COD.

There already is a delay, it's just imperceptible in most cases because it's so short.

Oh neat. Still, even when airtight there is a stable shelf life you need to be mindful of.

Seems like they're preparing for something more realistic like the 2003 blackout and not a zombie apocalypse.

You're probably aware but make sure you're rotating out that gas. It will last longer in an airtight container than one with venting like most cans. Smart move though.

I got the trial. Gave me a 201 area code number. Called it and it waited some seconds after answering, played a DTMF tone and hung up. No, I didn't test it with Duo (lol). Every time this number receives a phone call it increments a lo

Remote Assistance (Windows XP - Win10 until anniversary update, renamed Quick Assist in current Win10) in Windows is based on RDP, but a separate feature. Remote Assistance/Quick Assist is a bit spookier than RDP because it allows you

My grandfather served in WW2, not WW1. In his case, he actually lied about his age to join, and also was made to temporarily change the German surname you might notice in my username. He was enlisted for the duration and stayed on for decad

I agree with you actually, I've just examined this part of our past myself and come to a different conclusion than you.

Sorry Dan, I shouldn't have responded like that. I do think I was responding to the most plausible interpretation of what he said, but my tone was off. The comment I responded to describes Canadian history extremely inaccurately (&#x27

Even though you disagree with me, and probably my tone, this is a useless and unproductive comment.

That's not what my great-great-grandfathers service record says, or the extremely long list of Canadians killed or injured in WW1. The German that shot him was probably just messing around, you're right.

They did teach it, they just weren't callous enough to teach the moral judgement you've just made about the conduct of your anscestors while entire nations were trying to kill them.

There are 'humane' electric shock machines available for crabs. They supposedly cause instant painless death. Obviously the size would make it impossible to use the same machine but maybe something similar. http://www.p
