  1. Yeah, I saw this headline this morning and my initial reaction without even reading the article was "Yep. I figured this was coming".... One thing though, Johns Hopkins is a highly respected institution....IMHO, they've done massive damage to their reputation by allowing their name to be associated with this.
  2. Hopefully someone was taking video and the cops will track down and arrest every one of the clowns. Think about it for a minute.....you have health care workers performing a potentially life saving service and gullible fools decide it's within their rights to intervene....how is this different than walking into an operating theater in the middle of a heart transplant?
  3. The longer this goes on, the more stories we hear about the "peaceful" protesters being nothing of the sort....even if it's only a small minority, perception is reality and the idiots have completely destroyed the message for those who honestly just wanted to make their concerns known.
  4. It's actually slightly better than that.... Even if disaster struck and we somehow managed zero points in the next round, Panama would have to run the table to catch Canada. That means they would not only have to beat us, but they'd have to take the full three points from the US in an away match on Mar 27. The best Costa Rica could possibly do is a tie, which means they'd also have to beat both Canada and the US, but they'd have to turn around a goal differential that currently has them 13 goals in arrears of Team Canada. It could be all but over, if either Canada or Honduras take any points at all on the 24th.....
  5. Exactly.....the problem is that old, white Christians believe they're being discriminated against, simply because they're being asked to be responsible....
  6. Many years ago, I was playing in a band in PG. One of our guitar players had always wanted a 100 Watt Marshall head with a 4 x 10 cabinet. In those days there was a crappy Mom and Pop music store in PG called B&B Music It was owned and operated by a family of condescending jerks, the worst of which was the son and defacto manager, Jay. Since they were the only game in town, we had all spent a fair amount of money in the store and put up with them trying to steer us to Peavey gear. The one thing they always claimed was that they would match any price we could get from other music stores, so the guitarist (Joe) decided to give that a shot. He got a verbal quote from Axe Music in Edmonton for the Marshall combo. (Don't remember what the price was, but it was a pretty good deal, since his brother had bought an entire PA system from them) Joe takes the quote back to Jay, who looks him in the eye and says "You're lying." So that was the end of that. A couple of weeks later, I'm talking to B&B's bookkeeper and told him the story. Then I showed him the invoice....from Axe Music....for the price that Joe had quoted....
  7. Sounds like someone bought Norton..... Like 24K said, Windows Defender pretty much covers Anti Virus these days. Still, if you want some extra protection, this is a solid app and it's free : https://www.avast.com/en-ca/lp-ppc-aone-compare?ppc_code=012&ppc=a&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI06nSh_Hi9QIVkh6tBh2PDwLCEAAYAiAAEgIpX_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#pc You'll deal with the company trying to upgrade you to the pay version, but it's not automatic and you can just ignore it. Another good app to have is Malwarebytes: https://try.malwarebytes.com/get-premium/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIncL9q_Li9QIVwhx9Ch1B5wNeEAAYASAAEgK7aPD_BwE
  8. Yeah, that one was definitely more Jackson Pollock....
  9. It's a good sign when you can win away even though you didn't really play all that well.....
  10. I was thinking they must have hired Bill Barber as an assistant....
  11. Salvadorans have been doing so much diving, the ref isn't buying much.....
  12. ironically, it comes during their worst stretch of the match....
  13. Hope the boys take a lesson from that.....they were fooling around in the back three, lose possession, Henry gives away a free kick and goes into the book.... ....all of a sudden the crowd is in it and the Salvadorans have some life. Gotta take back the momentum....
  14. I figured those tweets might trigger some Pats fans.....
  15. Wow, who could have guessed that.... ....on the second to last post of page 1768.....?
  16. Neil Young's former bandmates are joining him in his de-Spotification: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/entertainment/music/news/crosby-stills-and-nash-want-their-music-removed-from-spotify-in-support-of-neil-young/ar-AATpq6e?li=AAggFp5 It's apropos that this movement was started by a Canadian, because it's snowballing..... Hopefully, it won't be long until you can only listen to Ted Nugent, Toby Keith and Kid Rock on Spotify....
  17. Sure, but all I did was post the article, so the lecture wasn't really required.....
  18. As I'm not a legal expert, I'll leave that determination to those that are....
  19. Meh. I'm sure that if the City of Ottawa's legal team thinks there's a case to be made, they'll make it and if not, they won't. I'm not really interested in a debate about how ridiculous it may or may not be. Maybe they decide to sue the organizers.....it seems like they are in control of those funds anyway.....
  20. The City of Ottawa is considering legal action to recoup some of the costs accrued as a result of the trucker protest: https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/canada/city-of-ottawa-considering-legal-action-to-recoup-protest-costs/ar-AATnjCP?li=AAggNb9
  21. Some "expert level" trolling coming out of Philly:
  22. I'm pretty sure I brought up the old adage "A fool and his money are soon parted" earlier ITT. (After Jaq Singh's brother in law was asking for his donation back, I think)..... I guess I'd have to amend that to "fools" and "their money".....
