@david_parker @AndieYEG @theablegcat Marshall or “Sam”?

@ChrisLaBossiere Yes that airspace is v highly controlled & clearly there was some failure. Q to be answered: was it pilot, ATC, or mechanical - no point speculating. Re: survivors, approach for CRJ-700 is ~135kts (250km/hr). Combined with g-forces & water impact, survival unfortunately unlikely.

@morganisawizard From Canada, so our options aren’t the same and I suspect quality differs from the US. But this seems to be the consensus amongst my friends:
New York Fries
Five Guys
A&W (Sweet Potato > Reg)
Fresh Hot McDonalds
Arby’s
The rest, a middling mash of salty carbs.

@TheRegister @vysecurity @evilsocket This wasn’t a confirmation of a suggestion put forward by @evilsocket, but agreement between two corp devs/reps of their individual assessments of the severity. They mutually agreed upon a severity, thus they “confirmed” it.

[Philip P. @codplay]

@TheRegister @vysecurity @evilsocket As @evilsocket is a non-native English speaker & given the context in their other posts about how they don’t normally work with CVSS, the “confirmed” would be a interpreted as “suggested & endorsed”.

@I_Am_Jakoby @stumblinz There’s also the difference between buying some average-priced merch that has a unique design and is otherwise useable, and buying an outrageously priced app that is essentially a curated Pinterest board of wallpapers.

Few thoughts on Danielle Smith’s “shared values”.
Please, tell me what you think.

@rod_the_bod @jdavidson2017 @gator_gum Not fight: if an insult (or lie) was repeated outside of the Commons the person speaking could be sued for libel or harassment. PP carefully chooses to make his most inflammatory remarks in the Commons where there’s privilege & response can only be the Speaker saying “now now”

@JustManitoban @DanJetsFan I’d really like to see how long you would be professional, kind, understanding if you were being abused the same way by a quite honestly fairly intimidating group of people day after day walking into work. And would you eventually respond with words or actually use a fist?

[Philip P. @codplay]

@JustManitoban @DanJetsFan Oh, so people are supposed to just take verbal abuse and threats for years with "that’s mean ☹️" getting mocked for being weak & not a leader, but if they do stand up & call someone out they get accused of having a short temper & resorting to violence.

@raeintheworld Congrats!!! That’s one awesome achievement, and you’ll be a kick-ass psychologist!!!

@findmyke @dhh And that’s a huge part of it: having a good sysadmin who can truly work full stack (hardware through site front-end). That broad (but still advanced) skillset is far less common with the hyper-specialization within tech roles.

[Philip P. @codplay]

@abscynth286 @raeintheworld But what about a platter of oysters in front of otters??? That sounds like a heartwarming time as well tbh.

[Philip P. @codplay]

@raeintheworld Sit in it before you buy is really my biggest advice, especially like $$$ products where same chair comes in multiple sizes. Even with adjustments, the base chair is gonna fit different (eg my wife is 6ft but many office chairs are based on 6ft men & aren’t right through hips).

@PatriciaSi95713 But again, as much as I’d love to jump on an anti-privatization train, that’s not what this is. The EDM diagnostic base lab is fully publicly funded now it’s APL. This is most likely someone entered the wrong procedure code and the computer spat out a bill.

[Philip P. @codplay]

@PatriciaSi95713 Somethings not right with this. Base Lab is -not- a private lab, it is the term for the main facility in downtown Edmonton (EDM) formerly Dynalife now APL. I’d call AHS billing as this looks like a mid coded entry if they have an AB health card.

[Philip P. @codplay]

@raeintheworld I’d call it delicious, and soon to be a delicious memory!!

[Philip P. @codplay]

@TheBreakdownAB So that’s the flag of the independent Republic of Ireland (not Ulster as some have said…) so the connection is the rejection of government - government taxation specifically (English taxation of Ireland was one particularly sore spot)

[Philip P. @codplay]

@AISHWarRoom @jengerson also doesn’t clearly specify consequences and timeline (as known i.e. if use isn’t reduced within 24 hrs this will happen, & by 72 hrs other thing will happen). Keep the full article, but should be clear summary for each group (all YYC/businesses/neighborhoods) at top 2/2

[Philip P. @codplay]

@AISHWarRoom @jengerson Gonna jump in here, as I read through Update Five, and as a homeowner (YEG not YYC) there are a lot of words there and it still fails to communicate the “what I need to do” for YYC residents beyond the boil water advisory (buried at the bottom not as attn banner pre-article) 1/2
