To be fair to you Vancouver folk, a humid -10 will seep into your bones. Edmonton may get to -30 with a wack of snow, but at least a body can get warm after a while.

While it may, I sort of doubt it, at least for the Canadian bit. If it was from here, we would likely have an outbreak too. Unless the factory sold exculsively to Chipotle, which I suppose is possible.

I think it was just an offhand joke, and Jason Schreier is just being facetious. Or I also don’t get it.

Kindness, recycling, and brownstones? Community gardens? Yup, total yuppification. Except I live in a poor urban neighbourhood with all of those things. I’ve heard that there are inner city New York schools who are doing community garden projects, because encouraging children to know where their food comes from is,…

I kind of like the beaver with the party hat, but I’d rather a student win this than someone established. I don’t like it, but good for her, anyway. it’ll be forgotten a few weeks after by the general public, but I bet it means a lot to her to have won.

I’d watch it. Too bad it’s not going to screen here.

Well of course, but the question wasn’t “what can happen to a kid in a car.” Buddy asked what could happen leaving a kid in a parked car while the driver ran in for a minute. I answered. I wasn’t making a judgement call-I’d probably do it too, if it came down to it. After all, I could’ve been easily eaten by a coyote…

Grande Prairie is in Canada, dear. And it did happen, as the article states. I could find a few more examples, if you’d like. Parents sometimes don’t even realize a child is in the back, because it is asleep, and quiet. I doubt a car jacker would consider checking the back seat for an infant.

Well duh, that’s why the kids were usually ditched on somebody’s doorstep once they were noticed. Obviously, none of them intentionally kidnapped anyone, because they were assholes, not sociopaths.

Oh. I read it as your friend was drinking in the car and had just finished. Apparently there are places where that is legal, so I wondered. My bad.

Kids hate shoes, guys. I have a massive family, and I’ve never encountered a child who kept their shoes on in the car. It just is.

There’s been a number of situations in my hometown where a child has been left in the car for a minute or two for whatever reason, and the car got stolen. Kids always turned up fine, but that’s probably why people disapprove. There’s also been a number of situations where children have died from being left in a hot…

It’s legal for passengers to drink where your from? Weird.

The man had bills to pay. Lots of actors take bad roles in the hope it will turn out better on screen..but being picky won’t put food on your table.

But it isn’t. I used the third gender as an example..my reply was not set up very well, and for that I apologize. But gender is a social role, not a biological one. She isn’t altering to mimic anything. She is making her outside look like how she identifies inside.

Some people aren’t born male or female though, they are interex and have niether, or both, or a mix of parts. Western society is odd in that we don’t recognize a third gender. There are men-physically and mentally-who are born with ovaries. Biological sex is really quite complicated, and most doctors and psychologists…

I started with The Kraken. I guess it is considered one of his weakest, but it is still my favourite. Railsea is also pretty good..it’s Moby Dick with giant moles.

Tolkien and the linguist for Star Trek did, and whoever created esperanto. So yes, and I bet it’ll help your brain just as much.

You aren’t alone. I love big, sprawling, overly detailed literature, but I read the first book through, and had no desire to read the second. The whole time I was just just thinking “slaughter all the Lannisters, take their stuff and be done with it.” And yet I regularly reread Lord of the Rings, the Shannara series,…

Actually upgrade my math, learn french, get a real job. And figure out what I want to do with my life.
