My partner went to a convention in another city. He was caught off guard by the number of dudes in leather and fetishwear that he saw around the hotel when he first arrived but just thought the city must have a diverse and adventurous night life.

The next morning on his way out he spotted a poster, it was “The Bear Ball” weekend, some disco themed big gay guy event, and the hotel he was in was the headquarters, which explains why most of the other attendants of his conference were being housed in a different hotel.

He said he had some great people watching for the next couple days.

Yep I do the email thing. And yeah, I know they all share everything, but at least I make them work for it.

I don’t know how much my privacy is actually being respected but I do go for the “use as many different services as possible so no company knows absolutely everything about me.” Approach.

I have a Garmin watch. I press a button on it twice, and within a minute or so a group of people I selected recieve an email with a live link, that shows my path and current location. Once I press the button again my live location ends but the list of people can still see my whole “activity”. I think that expires on 24 hours but I’m not sure on that.

It’s use is supposedly to show off exercising? I use it when I’m out hunting public land and might be wandering away from my truck or driving to several nearby trailheads in a day and don’t want to have to remember to tell my other half “I know I said I was going to Fish Lake but so got distracted and stopped at Deer mountain and then drove to Owlfield but I parked on the south side of the trailhead but ended up walking north 3 miles…”

If we are just putting our own ethical limit, for me it’s 2.

1. Main residence, a traditional home like house, townhome, condo, whatever, but with full service like garbage hydro ect as is standard for the area.

2. Land, sort of what you are saying a country home, but it has to be zoned as such, not just another home in someone else’s neighbourhood. So purpose built seasonal homes, or off-grid properties with an outhouse. Not somewhere most people would be comfortable living as their primary residence year round.

After that taxes should be extreme. And companies should not be able to purchase the main residence type homes. At all. Must be a person purchasing.

I think human memory and recollection is too inconsistent to apply that label fairly.

If the cops had been around the corner when it happened and then claimed they saw it then you are right, they should face equal consequences for lying.

But if they were near enough (and the video shows some of them? Than a combination of the sounds and movement and immediate aftermath can and does totally shift your perception of reality.

Quick story: I was at work and I heard someone say something angry behind me. I turned around and “Bob” suddenly shoved “Alex”. Alex shoved back and they started screaming. I got in between and broke it up, facing Bob and basically keeping him from continuing after Alex. The bosses showed up and Bob started going off screaming about how his was gonna kick Alex’s ass and let’s go outside and blah bla blah he shoved me!

I barked at him “You shoved Alex first you need to calm down!”

And he stopped dead and looked at me. “FUCK YOU YOU LIAR.” And a rant about how I was best friends with Alex (I wasn’t, but sure did like him more than Bob) and I would like to get him fired ect ect.

Now Bob was (probably is) an asshole. He ended up getting fired for berating a coworker and then coming to blows with a supervisor who told him to knock it off.

But after I dismissed his accusations and moved on with my day, I started to think about what happened.

I didn’t see anything before I turned around. But I did hear a yell, like a yelp… Like someone being hit…

So I was 100% convinced of what happened, until I gave it some deep thought much later. If Alex had have stepped up and said “yeah! That’s what happened!” I don’t think I would have ever second guessed it, I would have put my career and reputation on the line…

Anyways, they may be fully lying and colluding, but there is a non-zeeo chance they “remembered” it like the victim claims.

ACAB but I wouldn’t put too much weight in the other officers intentionally lying. The incident happened so fast I’d assume 3 of the 4 didnt even catch it from the right angle and are just going off of what Dumbo says happened.

Cancan Dan should go to prison for the same sentence as the crime he falsely accused the driver of.

Then the driver should have been charged with those offences. Also I have no idea how YOU know he was breaking any traffic laws from that video. The officer onsite indicates the lights are not to be trusted, and “speeding”, I’d love to see how you went about determining that from this video…

The cop played a stupid game and won a stupid prize. In a just world once he heals up he would go to jail for the same crime/time as he falsely accused the driver of. Oh well.

What type/brand of laser level? Most have magnetic brackets so if you have an outside corner in the room that has a metal drywall corner it will stick to that, or any peice of metal can be screwed to the wall and the level can be stuck to that. Your level may also come with a metal part of the bracket that you can screw to the wall and then stick the lazer to, and slide it up and down to get the right spot.

My sister’s dog does “business deals” with me (offers a paw to shake) and it gets to the point where I have to tell him I don’t do deals on the weekend or I’m out of goods to trade. That little ferengi never truly believes me though he thinks I’m just trying to play hardball …

Toronto had Zanta, a guy who wore red boxers, black boots and a Santa hat and did pushups on top of mailboxes and flexing while shoutting at passersby. If you knew him it was a fun spectacle but for most people he was aggressive and basically a creep.

He was mentally ill for sure, and had a pretty long sad story.

Any Zanta experts please speak up if you’d like to add more context. Pretty sure someone wrote a book or comic about the guy.

Sounds like my man “Sneesus” at Dundas Square. “BbBEEEEELEEIVE IN THE LORD” everyday, same corner. Scaring the crap out of anyone who doesn’t know the intersection but otherwise never approaches or even gives a glance.

That is a beautiful, wonderful movie, but I haven’t been in a positive enough mental state to watch it for almost 8 years.

No I’m not depressed, I’m very lucky and usually quite content if not very happy, it’s just so dark and sad you really have to be waaaaay over to the happy side of the spectrum of you don’t want to come out a hairs distance from suicidal.

Tool assisted speed run. People write programs to run the game over and over, and by doing that they can prove or disprove potential strats, routes and such and then humans can try them.

What op should do is tap/slide the boards all to one end so the gaps all come together as one big gap at the less important side of the room. Maybe there’s a bookcase or tv against that wall so they don’t step there.

The second paragraph states it’s 5.7tons.
