Money for nothing, and Doug's for free
I always had the feeling that he wasn't acting, he was just being himself. The sign of real talent & an authentic human.
😉
Predator 3, Batshit and Piece of Shit
AI did it.
Maybe it's still 9 after all the pus and fat drained out.
Or stiff everyone for your bills, screwing over everyone in sight.
And it's the wood chipper for him.
Vlad is next.
I've been as far west in ON as Kakabeka Falls. Been through AB and BC, flying to Calgary & renting a car. I know I've missed a lot, & my wife wants to see the Icefields Parkway. Wait 'til I show her the AB badlands, hoodoos, and dinosaur bones! I wanna take home a real live Winnipeg mozzie.
It's below Dexter's standards.
He probably pulled over & propositioned her, the scum.
Several years ago we both figured there's no more need for Pride parades because they've won all the rights. But LGBTQ+ have never been more threatened than now, esp. with the cancer from the south & our own CPC creeps. Human rights are human rights.
I've started muting the Carney stans but yeah, the transphobes get blocked.
I could pick you up in my boat, but it's so tiny the neighbours would laugh.
Never been to MB or SK, but I've seen similar landscapes in AB. Maybe I should talk my wife into a cross-country tour.
Totally Fargo'd.
When I was biking the other day, I passed this place that's up for sale. It's overlooking the Ottawa River. All of the homes on this street are beautiful but simply unaffordable. www.realtor.ca/real-estate/...
Big sky country
Live, on Fox! No sentient beings were harmed in this presentation.
Yep & ouch.
😂
A few do but most whip through the open door as if they're royalty & I'm their personal serf. I may have to start carrying a wood chipper.
Good choice. My wife was too diligent & saved up a huge pile of holiday leave when she retired. The taxes were brutal.
We can't help being raised properly.
I hold doors open for men and women. If they don't say "thanks," I yell "you're welcome" after them. Fun to see them cringe (sometimes).
Clots and prayers
I have no faith in them ever changing. If they want to break a strike, the Cons will vote with them.
But more money for cops in this, the Sutcliffe era.
Dark times
Very disappointing, WA.
The Libs do this every election. Bait the hook with items that sound vaguely progressive, win the election, then do little/nothing. Pharmacare & daycare coverage isn't everywhere & is in jeopardy, the CHA is weak, consumer agencies protect corporations, Carney's love of the env. is evaporating.
It wasn't very good anyhow. Just some random shuffling of feet.
They're (neo)Liberals. Can't do it, but would you care to see a performative dance?
He's incredibly phony. They are no friends of unions. They folded on the Air Canada strike because the public was behind the FAs. It surprised the AC CEO who mentioned that he was depending on the Libs forcing them back to work.
Maybe they're following Dexter's approach & dismembering the body into 9 pieces.
I'm afraid a UBI is a long way off from here but it's obviously the best and most desired option. The CDB is a first step, just a baby step.
$200/month is the maximum, a drop in the bucket. PWDs were forgotten during the pandemic & the CDB is pathetic.
Meagre Canada Disability Payment is a slap in the face. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
I vote for no hegemony, no global leader.
Drumpf is trying to make stink acceptable again.
Why?
They have something that reminded me of roo bars I've seen on trucks in Australia. Moose laugh at them.
He has a Ferrari fetish.
There's a bridge from the parkway above & a short bridge from the multiuser pathway. It was closed for 2-3 years for renovations. Built in 1914-1925.
Makes me think of the Griswolds stuck all day in a UK roundabout.
My son is a mechanic & worked on many high end cars. He didn't like the paddles in a Ferrari & prefers the feel of a stick.
Amen to that.
Biking along the Ottawa River up to the Ottawa River House. We need more days like this.
Manual is total control by the driver. You decide when to shift up or down. It's also great to downshift in winter conditions. All that & more fun!
Or the UV wasn't set up properly.
It's the ants. 🐜🐜🐜
I wonder who will refuse the tea, just in case...
Wow. With the RW Reform as well.
At the local public school, our neighbour told us about air filters being left unplugged.
Those industries should have immediately implemented air filtration and ventilation, especially in schools. Most didn't.
Why I don't give blood anymore: - Canadian Blood Services dropped masking in July 2022, causing an instant drop in donations. - My wife is immune-suppressed & susceptible to all infections. - We work at reducing our risks & donating is too risky.
And sick days were fewer in 2020 because most were working from home & couldn't get infected by colleagues. But nope, can't have that anymore.
Yeah, it's aluminum, but then I add 2 12-volt batteries for the trolling motor, and another one for the engine & electronics, plus camping & fishing gear. I can see myself driving up a hill en route to some fishing spot and the electric motor dies & I suddenly have a huge loss of power. Merde.
I'd like to see that diapered PoS walk a golf course instead of riding carts. Carts are for woke pussies like him. I'm buying some champagne for when this racist, rapist, paedophile finally croaks. What a celebration it will be.
Canada, lived in Australia for a short time, have family in the US of Russia & Croatia. You're working hard enough!
So go with a powerful SUV on maybe a 3-year lease & then sell the boat, or dump the boat now. I so far haven't used the boat. Wet, cold spring, over-heated summer, and maybe now we're getting into reasonable temps.
I'm not in a rush & also in a quandary. I have a 17' boat & need something to haul it. My impression of hybrids is that if the electric motor is exhausted, I'm left with a 4-cylinder engine. My old RAV4 is a V6 with plenty of power.
I've never heard of them. Looking them up now.
I love manuals, except in heavy city traffic. My wife doesn't at all.
And we haven't been able to find any substitutes at all! Wait, I don't drink Jack Daniels and never drink USR beer! Last time I had Jack Daniels was with eons ago with friends in Calgary. Gave me a bad hangover. Never again.
Mazda has a beautiful red metallic colour I've seen on several of those vehicles, both sedans and SUVs.
Only problem was it was an automatic, so eventually the weak engine got so much weaker.
I got into a battle on FB with a former family member, an antivaxxer. I dug up & presented all the factual data on how vaccines saved & extended lives, but none of it mattered to her. She even chased me onto chat. I eventually dumped FB because of her. Sometimes it's just not worth it trying.
I heard about a new browser that refuses to use AI ― Vivaldi. I installed it but haven't played around with it much. vivaldi.com/download/
I've always rejected all corporate naming. The NHL rink in Ottawa has always been the Palladium, and the Skydome is the Skydome. Screw corporatocracy.
At the end of its life, the Corolla's shocks were dead, the A/C was rusted out, and all of its undercarriage was seized in rust. Thousands to fix, so we got shod of it. But she loved that car, with its upholstery and soft plastics, and she could turn on a dime or do a parallel park in seconds.
APA says delivery time for the Cross hybrid is very long. Toyota says that for all its hybrids. www.apa.ca/en/vehicles/...
I asked Toyota to check the battery ― they said it was fine. It wasn't. I replaced it and then it was fine. Now I have a load tester and battery charger & can test battery life myself.
Before I could get into my wife's Corolla, I had to slam the seat back all the way. She let me know so many times. Since the pandemic started, winter was tough on it so I'd have to drive it once in a while to keep the battery charged. Until it wouldn't, then I'd be out in the garage with my charger.
My wife has so far refused to go check them out. Some day soon, I hope.
I'm sure they'll blame 'supply chains' but it's really about gouging us even more for real colours.
I've been ordering beans from Opulence in the Byward Market. I get enough to have free delivery.
It'd fly through the snow & never get stuck.
Haven't tried that one.
"Great home for someone looking for a project" and doesn't mind doll parts everywhere.
We were going to go this morning but my wife didn't sleep well last night, plus the rain.
Are they customers or they have a booth?
We go to the Orléans market too, but Westboro always has a better selection & it's such a nice spot. Always busy.
Never been, don't care.
Really, I'm trying to stop laughing...
We find the Westboro one the best, and the pathway is sheltered by trees. We always get 2 falafel wraps from the Falafel Guys. We usually get bibimbap from Raon Kitchen, & I need another bottle of chogochujang sauce. Free on-street parking. ottawafarmersmarket.ca/westboro-mar...
Oh damn, that's what it's for!
Unless Miller put the bite on him and he's now eternal. We'll have to see if he avoids sunlight.
At the outdoor farmer markets, Yummy Cookies carries poppyseed cakes, and you can also get them at Adam's Sausages on Michael St. www.adamssausages.com
I travelled as a kid & the Paris subway system was truly impressive. 1 fare to get you anywhere on the system, and it was huge. Not sure if it's still like that but I hope so.
That's why torrents were invented.
They make great sandwiches at lunch time. You select the meat & toppings (red pepper, mayo, mustard, hot peppers, olives) and the buns are great. Very popular.
Sutcliffe now has your name. Too bad OCT is the worst & probably most expensive transit system in Canada.
Cars should have smooth, aerodynamic, & sexy lines to them.
I don't believe so. They focus on meats, sandwiches, and some side products. We go for the frozen cabbage rolls (best in town) & cevapcici (for the BBQ). www.ivansmeatanddeli.com
Sounds like my ex.
Oh, and the Mazda 3.
It's on the list to checkout, along with the Corolla.
