Need to scan the border to make sure they are not running an extension cord through it.

Hardly seems like a priority, I'm a bit disappointed to see the NPD wasting efforts on road. We need more tracks and trains.

Though if they are certain it's a worthy concession to get swing voters then it's got to happen. I just think the next time the conservatives take power they'll just sell it again.

I was in elementary in Canada early 90's. My school was weird. There's a large Mennonite community in the area where I grew up so a large percentage (more than 50%) of the kids in this school were Mennonite. For those unfamiliar, these are similar to Amish. Such farmers with strong religious views, most of them were "old order" meaning they grew up in homes with little to no electricity. They also finish school at age 12 regardless of progress. This meant that they were exempt from a lot of the classes my tiny public school had to offer. No French, computing, or Sex Ed. A lot of them were also in special Ed. I'm not going to sugar coat this. It's forbidden from them to marry outside of their culture and only like 4 families came to the area. So there's a lot of disabilities as a result of inbreeding with that community.

All this to say that my school had absolutely no clue how to deal with my undiagnosed autism. But they seemed to have decent funding due to the much higher needs.

I was in special Ed via French exemption status. This means I never learned french. I'd instead be placed in a room with all the Mennonite kids often in a corner trying to read. Eventually I was put into some kind of program. A neurologist should come by and do experiments on me. Nothing weird, just testing my fine motor skills. They (falsely) diagnosed me with "elementary tremors" a pediatric doctor upped this to a "retardation caused by mild down syndrome" (extremely wrong) after years of that nonsense they decided to use this crazy new fangled technology to give me a leg up with writing. I was given a Macintosh computer. I had a desk with tiny wheels and my 4th grade self had to wheel this from class to class (including "portables"). Of course this was pretty obsolete tech even for its time. My parents got me an Alpha Smart which was way better. By 6th grade I had a personal support worker to help get me caught up. I failed grades 3-6 but was 'placed' into the next grade anyway and never made to repeat anything.

Highschool was very different, no Mennonite, so way less funding. It was still a French exemption class but there were only about 5 other students in the class. It seemed to be less about education, or assessment of my condition. It was some watching videos and doing some analysis. It was mostly just a time to catch up on homework. Often there wasn't even a teacher present.

How i imagine this wwent down:

Ford; "Just one more lane. It'll work this time I swear." Sane people: "No it wont and besides, We don't have room for another lane" Ford: "But what if..."

Anyway. Let's just build a damn train track. On land. One not owned by a freight service but dedicated to passenger transit.

Often me. I make tools/interactions for learning management systems. So the back end is a thid party I have no controll over. Just take the api and make the magic happen.

You need me to save data somewhere but don't want to buy server space? Sure we can cram that into places it's not ment to go within the system. It will slow things down and likly cause issues but it's free.

This comic but panel 2 is a waffle house. And third panel with the angel says "I am afraid"

I am guessing here but It sounds like the not drinking part might be legal advice.

If here was in anyway operating the boat it's be bad to admit that. Or if the operators of the boat where not keeping an eye on passengers it may cause them to look liable in some way. The story could just be a cover for a more mundane and real one that he's not allowed to tell.

I can't seems to read the article but as somone who passes the square daily I'd have a few suggestions.

Make Young a pedestrian road. As sidewalks are insanely crowded and dangerous.

Restrict use of amplification systems for the event puproses only. If some dude wants to yell about how we are all going to hell that fine, but they shouldn't get to do so with a megaphone or sound system. It doesn't exactly create a welcoming environment.

Also maybe direct protest around it and not through it. As a local I avoid those regardless of what they are protesting.

As an easy one maybe just advertise the events there a little better. Take one of screens and pop a schedule on there. I come by and occasionally see a cool event going on but don't have time to stop and check it out

If this training is like most manditory online training in Ontario it'll be a shitty slide show made in Articulate. He can skip to the end of and hit done. These are deigned to separate accountability from the organizations and the employees, not actually teach anything.

Same. Quit FB a few years ago. Never bothered with Instagram, or Twitter or really anything with my real identity.

However I used FB for nearly 15 years. I got a new job so I wanted to clean as much public facing data as I could, including all the "intrest" FB had decided I had. I'm not sure if its the same now but Facebook used to just keep a list of stuff you where "interested" in based on your browsing history (even outside of FB). Often it was inaccurate. I think ads or somthing whould hijack the algorithm to add whatever they wanted, youd have to clear it out every once and awhile.

After doing this my feed started showing me hate groups, alt right nonsense and images of child abuse material. I realized this meant, that in cases where Facebook had no listed intrest for somebody, this is the ads that it whould use, this was the core of what Facebook was. I nuked the account and never looked back. Honestly, great decision and I've never once regretted it.

Brining back one of the most asked questions from the sub reddit.

I am downtown core area.

The only one I am seeing is the care& family health way out in Yorkville. And the want $300 annually.

I hate the idea but almost desperate enough to pay it.

Solved

Found one near downtown. They had a broken website so they somehow didn't get noticed. Grace medical.
