    @george-k said in Watch faces: Who the HELL needs to know the times in all of those cities? Pilots? I’m still a skeptic. I play with my phone enough. I don’t want to stare at my wrist all day. I have a garmin fenix 6. Analog time. Heart rate at 12. Day date at 3. Battery at 9. So I’m really a minimalist. Maybe one day I’ll give in but I think I have enough screens, with my phone and iPad, and dare I say, my desk top. [image: 1631875700414-6dd10aef-7586-49b4-a7b3-ce5220c61f36-resized.jpeg]

    @jolly said in Who Deeze?: Beatles' Boys. Yup. Remarkable similarity, particularly with Harrison.

    @doctor-phibes said in Five-cent tax: They did this in the UK in 2015. The world didn't end. People use re-usable bags a lot more now. I'm sure some people got very over-excited about it, and then forgot to be outraged after a couple of weeks. Y'all dont buy groceries in the UK. You don't have kitchens, frigs and freezers big enough to store anything...

    On 27 January, Shanina was severely wounded and was later found by two soldiers disemboweled, with her chest torn open by a shell fragment.[53] Despite attempts to save her, Shanina died the following day[53] Oh, way to go, medics. You had ONE JOB.

    @doctor-phibes said in Riddle me this...: What I don't fully understand is why the UK seems to be in the process of relaxing all the protections. Our UK office went back in (voluntarily) this week, after working from home since March 2020. My brother said everything was getting less strict, right as all the cases are going up. My guess: jolly's right and people stopped giving a shit.

    Talk radio hosts are essentially self-appointed experts on pretty much everything. I just wondered for a moment if they know as much about everything else they pontificate on as they do about Covid?

    Entertaining article but it does not accurately describe the situation here. For one, the described lockdowns other than at border crossings, were exclusively within the jurisdiction of provincial governments. The Feds were only responsible for the approval, procurement and distribution of vaccines to the provinces and territories. All other measures were discretionary and at the support and request of the provinces. The Trudeau government did and continues to do an excellent job in this regard. The current inflation rate is probably the least concerning issue people have with the Trudeau Liberals. All parties, O'Toole's Conservatives included, propose increased spending on the health care, environment, infrastructure and social programmes. The main issue people have is that the Trudeau Liberals have called an unnecessary election when it could have easily continued to govern in its minority with continued the support of other parties in the House not including the official opposition, Conservatives. Arrogance on the part of Liberals. On Monday I will not be voting for the Liberal candidate in my riding, nor will I vote for the Conservative candidate. Rather, my vote will go to the NDP incumbent.
