Wikipedia says she has dark-coloured skin due to a tan, and she goes by Hayacchi, so it's probably the colour they are referring to.

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.

Passengers fly on the inside, of course. There are two exits, one at the front and one at the rear. If you need assistance with boarding, one of our supposistewards will be happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Qantass Airlines!

Yeah, we found a way to bypass the parental lock on our old C-Band satellite system. The glory days.

Ok, this is brilliant.

That's a tough one. I'd have to say April 25 because it's not too hot, not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

Did you read your own article? It defines the Stripper Index as including all forms of sexual labour.

Why keep posting from this hard paywall site? If you have a sub, please post the article.

Yeah, you need a new cartridge for yours.

If they want to keep him, someone who won a safe, rural western riding will suddenly step down, forcing a by-election. That's the usual path back into parliament that we've seen in past elections. If that doesn't happen immediately, it will be telling for his leadership prospects.

Unless the knives come out for him as leader, a newly elected MP in a nice, safe western riding will likely step down and trigger a by-election for PP to carpetbag his way in. It still isn't official yet, but is still looking very much like a bunch of federal public servants in his riding didn't trust him not to sack them.

Unless you replied to a Flintstone. Then he is correct.

McRib comimg back!

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

Provinces actually cap what a doctor can charge the system. Family doctors basically have to run a business and bill the insurance plan of their province, and there are limits to how much they can charge per year. This keeps salaries lower than in the private sector, which can charge some provinces much more for the same services. It is a big part of the drive for doctors to go private. Many doctors are also expected to do walk-in clinic and ER hours, or to supervise new doctors in their province as well, but I don't know if that applies to the private ones. I hear that the waning supply of public doctors makes it harder to train new doctors in their residency years. Canada has been aggressively growing its population through immigration for the last decade, but hasn't addressed the doctor supply problem, so this is reaching a breaking point for the health care system. Ideally they would be attracting doctors and nurses to come to Canada as part of that immigration, which they try to do, but then they want them to take equivalencies which often amount to going through med school all over again. Without having the people to train them. And to have them pay for it while starting out in a new country with a high cost of living. So the system keeps salaries low and supply low, and they set up rules to trap doctors in their province so they can't escape it.

It sounds like both doctors and dentists licenses in Canada are restricted at the provincial level. So they could move, but would have to recertify in another province. I know for some of the dental schools, you can graduate and go through the licensing process in any province, but for others, you can only practice dentistry in the province of the school you graduated from. That prevents out of province kids from going to Manitoba for one of a handful of placements and then immediately going back after graduating. Medical is probably similar. It sounds like there are a lot of high barriers in place to keep their investments secure, but those also prevent us from recognizing the qualifications of immigrants. Sadly, I hear a lot of complaints about that from taxi drivers.

Article: They didn't add any lanes in Toronto, just to outlying areas where they claim traffic was improved. Toronto traffic still miserable after nothing was done there.

Seriously, if this is costing us 11 billion a day in economic damage, get more people working from home. The solution is so blindingly obvious. It saves money and can be done overnight. Fuck, we are a stupid bunch of apes.

This is just an injunction to prevent them from removing the lanes before the Charter challenge is heard. No decision has been made yet, so no need for them to change their tack.

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