I'd talk to the parents first and let them know what their kid did and how your kid has expressed that they're not interested in their kid in that way.

Then I'd probably sit down with both kids and explain to them that while the gesture is very nice, from your perspective and in your culture, this level of gift is seen as a dowry. Usually dowry's aren't given unless both parties are for sure interested in each other romantically.

Now as a teenager, hormones are running wild, and so a friend may come off as a lover. I'd say you're stepping in and declining the offer to prevent a friendship being ruined. I personally was in the exact same situation, decided to stay friends, and they're one of my best friends to this day

Hey everyone,

I've got a question about how to deal with an automotive incident in London, Ontario. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I parked my vehicle outside of a shop, and while I was inside, someone backed into my vehicle & drove off. I was able to capture the hit and run on dash cam, including the other drivers license plate. It's very clear who it was. Luckily, the damage basically boils down to a few dents and scratches.

Im obviously planning on fixing the damage; however, from those that I've spoken to, it's not worth trying to get any compensation from the one who hit me. I'd have to file a police report to get their information, to get the police report I'd need to give them my insurance information, and then my insurance finds out and will raise my rates.

Is there anything worth doing, or am I SOL on this one?

Again, any advice would be much appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you to those that replied! I ultimately decided not file a police report, and eat the cost on this one.

No, I don't think so?

As an amateur photographer myself, I gotta say this is an awesome pic!

I fully flipped over every device in my house off windows about a week or two ago, and so far so good!

I've been daily driving linux on my personal laptop since 2009 (16 years now!?) for school / work / personal work-esque stuff, and my work laptop is now OSX. A few weeks ago I flipped my gaming machine from windows to popOS and been quite pleasantly surprised at how well gaming on Linux is these days. So much so, I convinced my wife to let me flip her gaming machine to Linux as well.

The only hiccup I've recently had was having to deal with windows-only, non-steam software. Ie. insta360. Luckily, there are compatibility layers / emulators I can use to be able to run it. It's slow, but good enough.

At this point, there's no good reason for me to go back to Windows or anything Microsoft. It's even become a red flag when I hear a business is using Microsoft's products. I want to hope Microsoft gets a wake up call at some point soon and turns the ship around, but I think they've got too many big-company deals to have to worry about their consumer products being shite.

For those that don't get itThe way the gears are arranged will result in a grid lock - you won't be able to turn any of them.

Rotating one clock-wise (CW) will rotate another counter-clock-wise (CCW), and the 3rd gear will spin CW. Because the first and 3rd gear are close enough to be in contact, and they're both rotating CW, they are opposing each other resulting in them being locked

Ie. none of this will work

Im curious about what the law considers something to be "false advertising" or not. My guess is that false advertising focuses heavily on the final product. They're still providing the product that's advertised on the packaging so it's not false advertising. But the laws around what can be classified as "Made in Canada" could be a lot looser. A product can have so many steps and parts in its creation, and each step/part can be all over the globe; so how do we define something that's "Canadian"? (I'm assuming this is already answered in case law)

I will put money down that it will not. A game that's in development for this long will not live up to any level of expectations

I'd like to point out that one 747 is ~$400 mill... [source]

Final boss of Dark Souls

Tap for spoilerI'd argue the entire game is the boss intro. And IIRC, the lore behind Gwyn is pretty deep too. You fight all these big baddies, and when you get to Gwyn, he's relatively pretty weak.

I remember being very fascinated by all the dark souls lore and his was particularly interesting. I vaguely remember that after killing him, you have the choice of keeping the flame alive or leaving and breaking the cycle?

Judge to consider halting operations at 'Alligator Alcatraz' over environmental concerns

Known for the eponymous reptiles that inhabit the nearby swamps, the migrant detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" faces the possibility of being shut down over concerns about some of the area's lesser-known inhabitants -- the Everglades' bats, panthers, and storks.

A federal judge on Wednesday is set to hold an evidentiary hearing over whether to block operations at the controversial facility because construction of the site allegedly bypassed federally required environmental impact studies.

The hearing -- at which federal, state, and tribal officials are expected to testify -- comes amid heightened scrutiny of the facility, which was once touted as a "one-stop shop to carry out President Trump's mass deportation agenda."
