Why would you want anyone hyper-competent in the VP role. The position has always been useless and ceremonial; Americans only started caring that the person at least be moderately competent when Presidents started passing away in office or resigning in disgrace.

Actually it still says peach baskets.

And if you are Old School, they are called bars with televisions.

Blackmail. It’s always blackmail with Gawker Media.

Americans will continue to do what they have always done, fiddle with their antennas until they get the far superior CBC feed from Canada.

Having been forced to learn the entire French version in elementary school I could not begin to transcribe the lyrics without looking them up. I basically learned the correct noses to make, the song is basically gibberish to me.

No, those are the correct French lyrics.

This is unintentionally hilarious as there’s currently a quiet shitstorm brewing in Canada about how the lyrics are not gender neutral. Our government has tabled legislation changing the lyrics and its expected to pass into law in the fall.

After the guy sings that they switch to the standard French lyrics. The middle stanza is traditionally sung in french if the anthem is being sung bilingually.

I kinda get why all the big names kept leaving Toronto, but still find it strange since they were treated like fucking kings in Canada and never amounted to shit after they left (Bosh at least had the sense to ride LeBron and Wade’s coattails to a few rings).

Farmers (and fisherman, and really anyone at the start of the production chain that should be setting the baseline for costs) really do get fucked over by the agri-corps, who then turn around and fuck the consumer over with high prices and bemoaning the cost of higher inputs. In Canada this has started to screw over…

Bad managers have a warped sense of what teamwork is and what it means to be successful. They surround themselves with like-minded people and effectively build this echo chamber where they convince themselves that they are following “best practices” and thus there is little introspection or comprehension about why…

It’s shameful this doesn’t have more stars. So many people in these discussions conflate “Not having a lot of money” with “Poor” and end up offering lots of useless advice. I think it is difficult for many to understand that people that are literally living paycheque to paycheque are not far removed from being…

It would be quite an impressive feat, becoming the first team to ever draw the championship.

I think its the Kullen line. Same sort of wood finish, low price. The Oppland stuff seems more middle end.

Ikea pretty much tells you to anchor anything and everything to the wall these days. I bought some Besta bookshelves a few years ago before they were discontinued. They are, at most, 2.5 feet tall, and they still insisted that you anchor them to the wall.

If you live in a region with a low risk of earthquakes or other disasters that are going to displace furniture, no.

I think the heavy loading is the issue. I own three of these (3, 4, and 6 drawer) and have never been concerned with tipping. This is mainly because I have never considered overloading the dresser. The three drawer dresser is for socks, underwear and undershirts (yes, 1 drawer for each, and they are far from full).…

Nothing is going to change. London will still be a playground for the world’s elite. The heavy industry and manufacturing is never coming back. Maybe there will be fewer people of colour? At least when Greece voted against their bailouts the banks locked their doors on Monday and the citizens were able to see very…
