Yep, can confirm. And in about six hours it will become an ableist slur against the hard of hearing.

You know, I could swear you used to be able to pick countries in it. But all I can find now is kijiji.ca.

Don’t know where you are, but Kijiji is absolutely thriving in Ontario. My old man has about 40-50 items up at any given time, and has no problems finding buyers to rotate through his stock, and he is nowhere near a major population centre. I just looked at ads for a city centre and there is a lot available. It is definitely possible to work outside of facebook.

Yeah, formal recognition is just a baby step. Only the bare minimum for acknowledging Palestine as a state. I’ll be surprised if anything other than this happens. Maybe we’ll get a stern rebuke or a tut-tut soon.

The formal recognition is only possible during a UN general assembly, which next happens in September. That’s why world leaders keep stating their intention to recognize Palestine in September, at the next session of the UNGA.

Because the UN General Assembly takes summer holidays too. No matter how eager Carney may be to declare it, he still has to wait for the UNGA to resume in September.

Hey, get on board, man. It’s for science.

UHF went up against Batman in the summer of 1989. It made only 6 million at the box office and cost 5 million to make. But that film became a cult classic because it was an absolute banger that everyone slept on.

I can’t be the only one who thinks the birds sound like a siege tank.

Scrolling past, I thought that was a hippo in a blue hood. Now I feel bad for laughing.

That family in particular would have banked everything on mom. I know families (plural) where mom will wake everyone up when it is their turn for the bathroom. And families share cell providers, so a major vendor shitting the bed would most likely take out all of them. That happens more than it should. Same with power and no charge. It seems like everyone’s phone is on empty by the end of the evening. This is at least as probable as nobody’s alarm clock having a battery backup. They all had them in the 90s, unless you were using a mechanical alarm clock, whick would have worked. At any rate, the alarm clock fail was just one of many problems here. This is a family who managed to not notice one of their kids miss an international flight.

Mom forgot she turned her notifications to silent to watch a movie the night before. Mom got no sleep and hit snooze. Mom forgot to charge her phone and it died. Dad tripped over the charging cable and knocked it out. Power went out and the phone didn’t charge so it died. Heck, you could even have a carrier fuck up maintenance and knock out cell service across the country for their customers.

Also had problems with his choice of dog names

Or Kevin is eight years old and his parents reasonably assume he is too young to have a cell phone.

I did three days once and was still lucid. Wasn’t even really tired, so I even went clubbing until 5am on the last night. I could have stayed up longer, but I had no reason to be up anymore, so I got four or five hours of sleep and was back on schedule. Some people just can’t do that kind of thing, and it seems to be easier for others. Dude from China sounds like a machine though. I’d guess be was the right combination of the kind of person who doesn’t require a lot of sleep and stubborn as hell.

Ok, this is brilliant.

Dude might have been drunk. If it isn’t intentional, it’s usually a case of too drunk or too old.

Keith Laumer, Gordon R. Dickson and Jack McDevitt are probably the ones I re-read the most.

I too had a barely year old AMD CPU go pop in an ASRock motherboard about 15 years ago. Bought the same CPU again and stuck it in an ASUS board and it is still running today. I know they have a better reputation these days, but this is the kind of thing that just shouldn’t happen.

Yes.
