Cause as DPS it's harder to find a group.

You realize it only mentions k-12 in the article and bill right? So while they are schools I can't find mention of them in this act. Can you please show where it says Universites are included? It does not in the article or the link below.

According to the article, quoted.

Access zones are in place at K-12 schools, and police can arrest or issue tickets to anyone found impeding access, disrupting or interfering with educational activities, or attempting to intimidate an individual within 20 metres (66 feet) of school property,” the province said in a release. Unquoted now...

What part of that is bad? Nothing says people can't protest but no one should interfere with kid's education. Doesn't say people can't protest, but they can't disrupt people who go in there is all which seems fair.

Edit: forgot to say I can be a bit dense and not realize things so if I'm missing a glaring fact or angle of this please do inform me.

I started that like 10 years ago, unfortunately I have a funky shaped head so it doesn't look as good as it may on others but I do enjoy the maintenance on it. I can definitely tell these days it won't grow back like it used to (much thinner on the top, edging back on the top sides). However being able to use a hair trimmer once a week myself is cheap, and less things to do while getting ready in the morning.

I can understand since society seems to put value on hair but not worrying about it (some confidence) goes a long way. I barely think about it nowadays.

How do you find which one you want with 150 open? Genuinely curious is all, I'm old and mostly use PC and can type quick enough to find what I want if I know which site (wikis for games and such). If I had to scroll through 150 tabs I'd spend half the time looking through a list so wonder how it helps to have that many open. Or maybe I just don't read fast enough to scroll well.

I thought it had to be a joke article from the title. Yeesh wouldn't want to be the person who gets the fallout from this idea.

I think it depends on the marketing in the end. Even if it's expensive, if it's not known it probably won't sell as much as you hope. If I'm proved wrong I'd like to know to give it a try of course heh. But I do think many of those brands survive on the rich knowing them to parade around, even if they're not known by sight due to non displayed logos.

If you want to target the new rich, then it needs to be high profile and flashy I assume.

Yeah between the biker gang and ballad of gay Tony, they had some great dlc for 4. I bought GTA 5 a second time for the PC after awhile but can't expect a good dlc these days from them unfortunately. Hopefully their main story holds up but I'm not holding my breath given their online cash cow.

Not if the place doesn't do daylight savings time, and not all places in a timezone will do that (least in North America) so you need extra code if they do or do not. It becomes a pain after awhile when you do it in multiple projects. Technically one extra setting but it's still a pain to make sure it's handle properly in all cases, especially when the previous programmer decided to handle it for each case individually, but that's a different issue.

Also when you deal with the times, say in .Net you gotta make sure it's the proper kind of date otherwise it decides it's a local system date and will change it to system local when run. Sure it's all handled but there are many easy mistakes to make when working with time.

I probably didn't even get to the real reason, I sort of picked this up on my own.

You think there can only be one god? That sounds limiting. I don't believe in any, but say does Buddhism really contradict most of Christianity real values? Like be good to people (help the less fortunate) try to let things go to not burden your well being (praying for forgiveness), respect others (do unto others). Besides having to actually believe in a god what's the difference between the two? Though the Buddhist view I'm thinking of doesn't require a god either but both seem to have teachings of compassion and love for your fellow person (some restrictions apply when dealing with intolerant types). I'm not saying you shouldn't have faith but don't say one has to be wrong.

Yeah isn't he The Captain? (how I met your mother, how I always call him out with my girlfriend). Yes I know he did plenty but for some reason that one sticks, even if I half watched Dune with my dad in the 80s and 90s.

First year programming in the late 90s .. segmentation fault? I put printfs everywhere. Heh. You'd still get faults before the prints happened, such a pain to debug while learning. Though we weren't really taught your point of the comment at the time.

Least that was my experience on an AIX system not sure if that was general or not, the crash before a print I mean.
