  1. But that's what the Porsche Cayenne was designed for.
  2. Most listed closed are private schools. Which kind of makes it look like Catholics are disproportionately scared of snow.
  3. I did not see this forecast anywhere either. I just checked and it is predicting snow tomorrow night too now. Before I saw Monday was clear and snow on Tues.
  4. Sydney Morning Herald is calling this "Operation Hang up on Huawei". - https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/how-the-five-eyes-cooked-up-the-campaign-to-kill-huawei-20181213-p50m24.html
  5. Bottom line is, what a stupid position to be caught in. This should be between the US and China. Leave us out of it. This is an abuse of the courtesy of an extradition treaty. Extradition usually reserved for those charged, evading crimes. In this case, no one knew the charges until she appeared in court. That's not solid enough for Canada to get caught up in this. Complete BS by the US.
  6. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/dec/06/the-guardian-view-on-huawei-the-bigger-story
  7. The US itself is currently violating it's own sanctions with Iran. We wouldn't hold a US citizen by request of the Chinese Government under the same circumstances. Seems to me like America is overstepping borders when they don't have any authority to uphold policies which they can't even agree on domestically.
  8. America = side note - This may be really bad news for cannabis.
  9. Partisanship aside in 30 years we have not progressed. 1998 "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" 2018 "I never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or at any other time"
  10. It was like watching a bad movie. And the villains were played by Kavanaugh, Graham and Grassley. It didn't seem real. If it was a movie, it would be so overly cliche, it wouldn't be believable.
  11. Some weather trivia. Hottest ever recorded temp. in Canada : 45 °C (113 °F) Midale and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan on July 5, 1937. Hottest ever in BC: 44.4 °C (112 °F) Lillooet and Lytton, British Columbia, July 16 and 17, 1941 2nd in BC: 42.8 °C (109.0 °F) Osoyoos, British Columbia July 27, 1998 Hottest in Vancouver: 34.4 °C (93.9 °F) Vancouver, British Columbia July 30, 2009 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extreme_temperatures_in_Canada
  12. Amka Aliyak, a.k.a. Snowguard. Inuit teenager from Pangnirtung, Nunavut Amka's superhero identity, Snowguard, will be introduced in Champions #21 in late June. Her new abilities, powered by an Inuit spirit/force called "Sila," allow her to shapeshift and take on animal traits. http://www.cbc.ca/books/meet-snowguard-marvel-comics-new-inuk-teen-superhero-1.4634479
  13. Not much sympathy for the oil industry at the moment...
  14. FWIW stick in rink. But for a change, I would love to see the Orange/Black V. It's simple but it works. I saw this toy online and only saw Canucks colours.
  15. I'm guessing by next Christmas, it will be easier to buy from someone like Alibaba with bitcoin than from Amazon in the US by credit card. Just a guess. I think it comes down to the processing fee/time. A company big enough could absorb the risks. Apparently the Chinese government has been attempting to ban bitcoin. But it's grown even more popular. The already had peer-to-peer bitcoin transactions built in their most popular WeChat app, which has been targeted by the government since about September.
  16. Am also not much of a multiplayer fan but have to admit GT Sport mode is simply revolutionary. For any racing fan looking to compete, I recommend it. If you like winning, I do not. It's teaching people how to race fairly and as far as I've seen it's working. Finishing clean rewards you more than trying to finishing 1st. Those with low Sportsmanship ratings get entered with other of similar rank. So unless you learn to drive clean you don't get to race better drivers. Anyways, they just announced the Dec. update will include classic single player Cups (Sunday Cup, Boxer Spirit, etc..). http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gtsport/news/00_4451949.html Also 15 new cars coming in Nov-Dec.
  17. Century Link field has no rain cover at all. That's nuts.
  18. I don't mind him. He's a versatile player. A year younger than Sutter. Signed until he's 29. FA signing/no picks lost. Cap hit probably about equal to Baertschi/ Granlund next season.
  19. 6.1 earthquake off the coast of Japan, again. I hope it's tame. Pacific ring of fire is really active lately.
  20. I came across this world emergency map. It's worth bookmarking. http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.php
  21. According to some the end game in Syria is a US - Russia conflict. It's going to come down to whether America decides to go to war or not. Or more specifically whether Americans who oppose have any say in the matter. So you have a Trump reality + emboldened right-wing + a record number of apathetic non-voters... do the math. Celebrity anti-war commercials aren't going to cut it anymore. Those who seek to gain in the aftermath want to see it happen. The rest of us are suckers for letting it happen.
