If these are known common problems, shouldn’t Intel have accounted for them in their chip design?

I usually try to plan a few foot-based errands in the area while they work on my car: maybe the pharmacy for my meds or some toothpaste, the bakery for a couple of these cupcakes my daughter loves, browse the bookstore, talk with the tea shop owner.

We’re always in such a hurry and complain about missing the ‘community feeling’ of ‘the old days’, yet we never spend the time to just walk about the community, doing errands instead of “running errands”, casually catching up on events and goings-on. I like to use my time for that kind of thing.

I’d visit all my old friends and loved ones; without letting on what’s going on, I’d tell them how much I loved them and the impact they’ve had on my life. Arrange the basics of my funeral. Get rid of a bunch of stuff that I like but will just be underfoot when they clear out my place. Organize and label family photos and videos. Stick post-its on things made by my grandparents, great-grandparents and other relatives who they can be passed on if desired. Put together that book of old family recipes. Give some things away to specific people to make sure they end up where I think they ought to go. Make arrangements for my cat, and tell her how much I love her and how much I’ll miss her, but that she’ll be okay.

Canada was just such a notable departure from the other countries listed that I was surprised. I’m glad it was just an issue between the feds and the territories and provinces and not something weird!

Nah, I decided not to hide. I got targeted too, but the nice thing is that I learned (really young!) not to care what other people thought of me. Which sucked at the time, yeah, but was incredibly liberating as I grew older.

Hey, thanks - I appreciate the education!

Ex-prez, please.

pokes at list of non-Hague countries “Oh, the usual suspects: Afghanistan, Mali, Haiti - wtf?”

Does anyone know why Canada hasn’t signed on to the Hague Convention?

Let’s be honest: he probably discovered SovCit idiotness because he was refusing to pay for support, and he probably wants to leave the country to avoid having his wages garnished …

they believe Biden lacks the mental fitness to be president.

I don’t care. I absolutely know that trump lacks the mental, moral, and leadership fitness to be President. And if both candidates were President now and died in their sleep tonight, I have absolute faith that Biden’s team would do their best to keep the country running while Trump’s team would immediately start dismantling the country and handing the pieces to those least fit to be near power.
