In that shot, he is still before the hog line, but regardless still not allowed to touch that part of the stone. Touching it there should have zero effect on the actual throw, but it's still illegal

"As of right now, Plasma Bigscreen isn't available for public use yet"

FYI

That sucks, but it's good they discovered the cause right away.

I've had chest pain off and on for 20 years now, and I was super paranoid about it because all my relatives died of heart attacks on one side of the family, so I've been to the ER multiple times. Every time, they would admit me immediately, give me an aspirin and hook me to an ECG. One hour later, I leave because everything looks good.

Now when I get chest pain or tightness, I just roll my eyes, try to ignore it, and keep doing what I'm doing.

I finally decided to wear a Holter monitor and get a sonogram done, which revealed something unrelated. They said come back next year so we can look for changes.

Oh right, I've never had to worry about paying for anything. All I have to do is show my OHIP card when I walk in to the ER or the imaging clinic.

I did have to wait two weeks to get an appointment from my family doctor for that, followed by a day or two to get the Holter and sonogram, but that's Canadian health care for ya

I dunno man.. that crash report looks modified. Could be a mod that caused it

This is the one I used, but it's no longer available:

If you search for "radon test kit" you can find them.

Also, I know Home Depot sells them.. they're about $50 in both places

I bought a test that hung in my basement for 3 months near where I work, and then I dropped it in the mail to a lab in Massachusetts. Shortly after that they sent me an email with a link to the results

I had zero idea about it until a plumber I called in casually mentioned that I should get a test. My house used to have 10 times the safe* limit that Health Canada recommends.

I now have a radon system in my house

  • there is no safe limit, but they said there's no need to do anything if it's under 100 Becquerels per cubic metre. Mine was 1000

Any recommendations for European investments? I have a few ETFs that track US markets, but I'm looking to move away from them

I keep forgetting to buy a bunch of little American flag stickers and sneakily pasting them beside products made in USA in stores

There's refineries in the US that are geared up for processing Canadian heavy oil.

The Venezuelan oil is supposedly similar, and cheaper to ship to those refineries.

Canada has a few years left of shipping this oil to those refineries until the oil companies get in and kickstart the Venezuelan production.

I don't think they're going to flood the market with cheaper oil.. instead they'll maim the Canadian industry

I'm just wondering what the Advanced Encryption Standard has to do with guns or revolutions

Hi folks,

I downloaded Aurora (https://getaurora.dev/) the other day with the intention of installing it on my 2013 MacBook Pro.

It wasn't until I got to the install screen when I realized that I have no networking.

I currently have Manjaro installed on this laptop, and I remember having to connect via Bluetooth to my phone to download and the Broadcom BCM4360 drivers.

Is there a good way to bake that into the image prior to installing?

Either that or I can try downloading the driver over Bluetooth again, but then I'll need to use a command to somehow layer it on top of the existing image? (rpm-ostree?)

Sorry if I'm missing some command or documentation, but it is a little more confusing trying out these immutable distros.

Has anyone else out there run into this issue and worked around it?

 

We have a few sites on our intranet at work that I constantly end up searching on Google instead of visiting the site.

If I type in the address bar

https://site.work/customers/12345

it will navigate just fine, but if I just type

site.work/customers/12345

it executes a Google search

Is there any way for me to add a whitelist for a given hostname? I don't want to turn keyword.enabled off.. I only want to turn it off for one site.
