WTF-Beta

@RealPlayer said in Canada is not the United States: Here is a NY Times article from this morning. Should be a gift link. Trump’s Canada fixation is about more than tariffs. Apparently well publicized in Canadian media, but not here. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/world/canada/trump-trudeau-canada-51st-state.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2E4.Wl1s.HkMjJ0CPOYAR&smid=url-share I didn’t realize it wasn’t being publicized in the US. It definitely is well known here. That’s why we are so mad.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference. In this climate for me, this means limiting time to focus only on those things I have control over - and give money, if possible, to those with the ability to fight and make changes for those things I can't control...

I wish I had met or heard someone like this lady much earlier in my life. Link to video

So the estimate was $5,900. I negotiated the price to $5,250 for cash, 50% down. I wanted to finalize it, but Jim insisted on getting two more estimates. I think he might be right. I decided to let him finish this with my one criterion being it will be a TPO technology roof. Excited!

Nice egg! Like others who live in large cities and capitals, I was spoilt for the arts in London, even using the British Museum as a shortcut to work! Now we live in the N.E. and if you're ever over here I could show you a relatively unkown local museum which is a gem, full of interesting surprises; you can just about get round it in a day with lunch in the rather good cafe: https://thebowesmuseum.org.uk/

PD, your family and mine were under the same circumstances, same time and place.

Darlington, stunning, mad, beautiful, impractical! Made me smile as it's something of a contrast to the town of the same name down the road from us... until I realised it must have been named because of the railway connection. https://sdr200.co.uk/

It was fun for a while but it just kept spinning. Felt the same way about GOT.

Not necessarily good news, but a whole lot better than the alternative!

Link to video Interesting comments on the Arab Empire. The link works.

Thank you, everyone! Yes, it's a blessing to have my brother back in my life and I won't lie. I'm looking forward to having an car again.

I stand corrected. The spelling is quatrefoil.

Honda is one of them though. I wish the powers that be would let Americans decide with their money which vehicles they'd like to buy or not buy from Japan and Germany. This video link is an extreme example but there have been too many to count. Link to video If they're good enough for the EU than why aren't they good enough for the US?

Because I have yet to fix my edit function, lol.

I have not read about this very much beyond randomly looking at headlines. But I am wondering how such a ban would be enforced? Couldn’t someone using a vpn and setting their country somewhere other than the U.S. easily circumvent it?

Here's why it's important. I'm joking! I'm not sure how important it is/ be. Oops! I did it again. A biography is set to be published. It will say Andrew will split his time between the UK and the UAE . “It wasn’t very long ago that Charles was captured accepting bags of cash, thousands of pounds of cash in Fortnum & Mason bags, from an overseas donor of dubious integrity. He looked like a mafia boss. So, Andrew in a sense is no different from anybody else. He’s just more clumsy and stupid about it. "It was first reported in 2010 that Andrew had free use of a “very impressive” and “gilded mini-palace” in Abu Dhabi. Andrew’s then-spokesman confirmed he was “given the use of a villa by the Abu Dhabi royal family” for both personal and professional use. https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-andrew-set-to-flee-england-for-secret-abu-dhabi-palace/ It's Eugenie's relationship with Harry and Meghan and the issue (sic) of their children being born by a surrogate (or in the case of the daughter-- maybe borrowed from a friend, the key word is 'maybe' but this is not a joke) that I'm focusing on next. I'll post about it if I can figure this out with any degree of certainty.
