It’s a sports drink!

There’s no mixed messages here. That guy just hates everyone.

That’s because it is a cult. No one could seriously claim that Canada was more racist than America.

We certainly have issues. And our treatment of several marginalized groups leave a bad taste in one’s mouth, but more racist?

Well I do defer to the experts. But I have seen trees topped like this and it is the method used for some types of trees.

Did these arborists say what kind of tree they were?

Also if you look at the before and after shots, those trees are trimmed like that often.

That actually made me chuckle. Thank you.

I did a bit of digging. This landfill is getting the Cheam some cash and the land is going to be used by them after it’s reclaimed (or whatever the proper word is, I forget).

I do not see anything in my quick search that even hints that there is something nefarious about this landfill. Well , beyond the standard nefariousness of all landfills.

As I see it, this post is nothing but your standard rage bait.

Simple question will stop the nonsense.

Did they trim the tree at the same time last year? I didn’t see that question asked or answered in the article.

FTR: This is a completely normal trim for those trees. I do question the timing as I was under the impression that trees were trimmed in either spring or fall. But I am not an arborist and the “high wind” excuse sounds at least probable.

Maybe someday, but Amazon is still selling them. For less than I paid at the time I believe.

I believe that’s Alan Thicke.

Does anyone want to buy a B5 DVD set? I apparently won’t need it anymore.

I’ve spent time in two funny farms. First was involuntary after calling the suicide help line. That sucked. Stuck in an essential prison for three days which the rest of the crazies.

One doc later even said that he got PTSD from my stay. I certainly don’t feel like my experience justifies a PTSD diagnosis, but it really did suck. (Worst part was living down the hall from a woman who spent her entire time there shackled to her bed and spent every waking moment screaming. It really did suck.)

Next time was voluntary, but only because my life was literally falling apart and it was try again or die homeless. Now this facility was one of the highest rated in the world, at least at one time. Elvis stayed there.

This was a giant waste of time and money. This time I was segregated with similar crazies, which made the experience slightly more bearable. But overall the whole thing felt like summer camp for depressed people. I mean there was arts and crafts time for crying out loud.

But the worst of it all was the doctors. I’ve seen lots of shrinks and therapists. I have yet to meet one I actually believe cares about getting me the help I need. Not one. Without exception they all treated me like a chore to be dealt with rather than a human needing help. I have very little respect for the medical professionals in that field. In my experience they have all been awful. I’ve stopped using them.

And the nurses weren’t that much better. They seemed to care a bit more, but I could tell they were very tired, overworked, and dealing with an unwinable battle. I don’t necessarily blame them, but it was disheartening.

Now that I’ve trauma dumped a bit, I will say this. It works for some. It didn’t work for me, but I tried. So…. IF YOU FEEL THE NEED FOR HELP, GET IT. What’s the worst that can happen?

These people strap themselves on top of a controlled explosion in a vessel made by the lowest bidder. Would you want to do that sober?

The basic scuttlebutt is as follows:

1. Gates McFadden was fired after first season because of a personality conflict between her and the head writer. Sexism apparently played a role in this mutual dislike.
2. Diane Muldaur (Pulaski) was brought in to be more of a Bones-esque character. Muldaur reportedly did not like the show too much and never intended to stay on for more than a season. Her character was declared a failed experiment and she was not offered a renewal. Which was cool with her as she went on to LA Law.
3. The writer McFadden had an issue with was fired after season 2 and McFadden was offered the role as Crusher once again.

And now you know the rest of the story.

While I’m just using data from the web and not actually measuring the spots in the parking lot atm, the basic size of a parking spot is 8x16 feet (128 sq feet). That works out to just over 11m^2 if Google can be trusted with the conversion.

Larger spots can go up to 10x20 feet which would work out to just over 18m^2.

And a 4mx4m room is not a small flat, that’s a small room in a small flat. But we may have cultural differences in what we determine small here.

I couldn’t get a good vibe for the actual size so I looked it up so you don’t have to.

Area: 2000 m^2 Population: 131

That means every person gets about a parking space (15 m^2) to themselves.

I did guess right, but I don’t recall a romance in this movie.

More accurately this is us when we see the tip request for a nuked pastry.

Bit embarrassed to admit this, but I used to seriously believe I had the ability to read woman’s minds.

I used to walk into a party/bar and instantly know if I was going to have sex with a particular woman. This was virtually infallible. (Disclaimer: This didn’t happen every time I went to a party, nor did I necessarily choose the woman, but every time I felt that feeling I was right.)

Turns out many years later I realized I just had a good understanding of woman’s body language. And could tell when a woman found me attractive enough, and was horny enough, to let me pick her up.

FTR I do feel foolish for ever thinking I had some supernatural ability with women, but I was somewhat attractive and charming, so that went to my head.

World domination.

Or maybe just lose some weight and pick up a new hobby.

I also suggest Strange New Worlds. It’s the best Trek since TNG (imo). There are certainly some silly parts and some episodes do lean a little more towards comedy then I’d like in my Trek, but even still. It’s good Trek.
