As soon as the first snow flew. Same everywhere.

I don't think the swipe about moderators putting users to ignore is fair, or justified in this case. If a moderator, as a user (because they are all users first and foremost), takes that step then they're fully within their rights and it's not awkward. It is actually encouraged and not...

Easy to detect, extraordinarily difficult to prove/make stick. My hope has always been that communities begin to band together to encourage these folks that they have lost their way. No, not vigilante justice, just subtle hints that their behaviour is offside. My general belief is that someone...

Oh? That's good news then. It was tried 15 years ago to set up some sort of framework. Government(s) stalled it. The industrial guys went back to their industrial things. Dave eager wrote a pretty good piece on it last year...

I wonder if the oil and gas guys have been contacted yet. I know last year they sat on their duffs. They used to deploy readily and had good success in interface fires or water sourcing operations. Nobody can move the volumes they do.

Oh arson is a huge problem that is not talked about much unless it becomes prolific or high value. That's my experience talking. I used to work an area where we'd be putting one out, just taking a break and cleaning up, only to see a plume from the next one kick off. This would go on for...

How in the fuck are they still having 80+ human caused fires? Good luck to the troops who will be involved. It's a slog, some of the toughest work I have ever done, but it is so rewarding. CIFFC reports don't show much help in sight, resources are stretched super thin given that Ontario and...

This may be of interest: http://www.ciffc.ca/firewire/current.php It's updated at 1500 Winnipeg time every day.

Correct. Unstickied.

Next to the Staff turnover last year, the largest change we've had is in how we apply and manage warnings. In the old days, it was by manually slapping a huge banner on a user's account, writing it up and then manually removing it when the time came. The new approach is simpler and more...

You're right, thanks for giving me a check.

OK. Point taken, I am sure. If he did work at 7-11, and they have forums like this, I am sure someone is there digging. Nature of the beast. Let's keep this on track. She's doing her job.

Enough. Take it to PMs. If you have an issue, report it. End the bunfight.

Never worn the device, but heard loads of stories. We have a CBRN approved hood with attached filters now rated to 5000 ppm H2S, but something tells me if push came to shove, I'd want positive pressure any day of the week. Then again, I cut my teeth on 2As and moved to early generation 2.2 and...

My nightmare scenario resulted after I used a service and the tenants were vetted. It varies by province how much you can ask for from a prospective tenant. If you're not desperate, and I grant that we were when we found our special dirtbags, then take your time. But more importantly, as...

You'll want to be intimately familiar with whatever legislation exists for your area before you go into this. I am speaking from firsthand experience. If you don't know it, you could get pretty badly burned. Hell, even if you do know it you could still wind up with a dirtbag and have to spend...

The Dexter NDP were a different beast, though when he stuck it to Joan Jessome I couldn't help guffawing, a lot. That got Michael de Addrer a lot of play.

Holy necro post. I'm looking for some German recipes and figure this place is a decent enough one to start. Yeah, I use google, but I figure this is more targeted. Specifically: -gulasch -gulashcuppe -knodel (obviously) -rosti A Koln based creamed style cabbage served as a side ala...

For whatever reason(s), I am considering upping my level of danger. I hit Jeff's site and see he had some success on Dragon's Den. Just some FYI for the sassy shirt lovers out there.

All, Recently, and not so recently, we have had some work created for the Staff because users report posts and then reply to the post they reported. A reminder: After you have reported the post, you are not to reply to it. You are to allow the Staff enough time to read the report, view the...
