  - that was been my answer. trains have schedules, it's not just random arrivals. -- nm - mafic Sep 23, 05:25 4
    - Not here they don't. They want to have a schedule but it gets blown up by 6am every day. One of my favorite stories is about how someone asked -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 23, 05:36

    - I'm curious if this author has ever been to NYC or ever ridden the subway -- nm - ty97 Sep 23, 05:09 3
      - I'm guessing no on that one. There are so many variables that can affect train schedules. This isn't Japan where there's a tight schedule that's -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 23, 05:15 2
        
        Our trains have a schedule always makes me LOL - ty97 Sep 23, 05:16 1
        
        Right? The best way I can explain it is that they don't have set times that they'll arrive at stations but more that the MTA will try and get the time - Krusty Sep 23, 05:22

Ah, CSI season 12, aka The Good CSI -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 21:31 11
- interesting, why is that the good one for you? -- nm - loosilu Sep 22, 22:01 9
  - It's not, the Gil Grissom ones are the best. But S12 introduces DB Russell, aka Ted Danson, aka Michael from The Good Place. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 22:20 8
    - Ted Danson was on CSI?!? As a regular or a guest appearance? -- nm - Krusty Sep 23, 05:23 4

        Like, 80 episodes of main CSI, over a dozen episodes of CSI Cyber, plus one or two of CSI NY -- nm - Beryllium Sep 23, 05:29 2
        
        Seriously? I had no idea he was on even one episode. It seems odd to me. I just don't see him as a serious crime investigator. -- nm* - Krusty Sep 23, 05:39 1
        
        I can't remember but I think he came after? Morpheus -- nm* - Beaker Sep 23, 05:41

  - Jennica the former Green is almost a gaurantee i would think -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:25
- What it ultimately did is give Trudeau another 2 years - Reagen Sep 22, 18:22 29
  - From the outside looking in, it's just like Newsom. He's stronger than he was three months again because of this vote. -- nm - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 18:54 4
    - Newsom had the vote thrust upon in without his choice. Trudeau called for this vote in an attempted show of strength. - ty97 Sep 22, 18:56 3
      - Both were votes, and both were winners. - No Longer Calm David Sep 22, 19:01 2
        
        Newsom was a colossal landslide. Trudeau just barely eked out the win, and it wasn't even a majority. He clung to power. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:21 1
        
        But if the conservatives send us to the polls again, it will be a huge black mark on them. - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:23
  - He’s weaker for it. Second election in a row where the Tories got more votes. Liberals will internally start causing more caucus headaches. - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 2
    - On this front my Alberta conservative friends are going on about how we need voting reform without realising pretty much any way you'd do it benefits - mafic Sep 22, 19:09 1
      - Maybe. I’m not convinced that a true PR doesn’t splinter conservatives into three or four groups that all grow in the aggregate. Then coalitions. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 19:41
  - Gets past the pandemic -- nm - budice Sep 22, 18:31 2
    - oh you optimistic fool -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 18:32 1
      - "You sweet march2020 child" -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:34
  - Except that he doesn't have the bargaining power of calling an election of he's not getting what he wants. - zork Sep 22, 18:26 7
    - They'd look like hypocritical idiots, but I'm not sure that matters. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 18:29 1
      - Exactly. "Trudeau is getting extra time for his calling an election during the pandemic" -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:32
    - considering how their hammer this entire campaign was an unneeded election call they would regret that lamost immediately -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:29 4
      - Except a year matters during a pandemic. How is that not intuitive? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:52 1
        
        right hopefully we are out of it and jobs everywhere and spending everywhere and people love it...the extra time should help with this -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:43
      - Not with their base. And a large pool of voters outside of that are goldfish. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:33 1
        
        (It sounds like this contradicts what I just said about the black mark, but trust me, both are true) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:24
  - and will get the $10 a day child care everywhere eventually which will be his legacy i think -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:24 9
    - It'll cost me more than that to commute when I have to go back to the office -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:34 7
      - I...don't know what this means -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:36 6
        
        People will get their kids looked after for $10 for a whole day and it'll cost me at least $12 to take transit that same day. -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:39 5
        
        in January next year they're eliminating all but two of the transit zones here. basically gonna be inner city and everything else. - mafic Sep 22, 18:54 1
        
        Nice -- nm - zork Sep 22, 20:37
        
        As in, I think it should cost less to ride on transit -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:40 2
        
        ahh gotcha, no argument here. Hopefully new money for public transit will be part of the climate change money they will be spending -- nm - Beaker Sep 23, 03:42
        
        YES. Transit should be extremely tempting for car owners. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 18:47
    - just NB Alberta and Ontario to go I do believe (and Higgs sounds almost on board0 -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:32
Canada did the Vegas vacationer win her seat back? -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 18:11 1

- 'Berta story #2 -- (link) - Reagen Sep 22, 18:02 6
  - A moment please while I pick my jaw up off the floor -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:48

    - hilariously because he's been too strict on pandemic management. -- nm - mafic Sep 22, 18:12 1
      - like, OK, Kenney can't win the next election. But they're gonna pick a dude who'll increase the nose dive? -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 18:25
    - Yeah. My Alberta contacts tipped me off last week that it was imminent. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 22, 18:06
  - they never should of watched that chicken pox episode of South Park -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 18:04

- nice! -- nm - loosilu Sep 22, 22:02
- Not sure what airline, but if Southwest: they run the 737-800 and the 737 MAX 8, both the same dimensions with same number of seats - ty97 Sep 22, 18:09 1
  - I thought today may have been a Max, but I guess it was a regular 800. The first leg was a Embraer 175 :/ -- nm - Meg Sep 22, 18:50
- John Wayne or LAX? If the former we must have practically passed each other in the concourse :) - Meg Sep 22, 17:46
- I was on one this summer. They're pretty nice. -- nm - Reagen Sep 22, 17:25 1

I'm old enough to remember crud like BTO, Trooper and Stampeders in their heyday. They stunk, big time. -- nm - mud Sep 22, 17:19 7
- Trooper Ugh. Stampeders *hand wavey motion*. BTO is fine. Would still rather listen to any of them than Tragically Hip. -- nm - zork Sep 22, 18:30
- Hot Shots by Trooper is musical gold! -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 17:23 1
