New Canadian Flag Bill
How does it make sense to pass a bill about the flag, when the economy is going down?

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
I was able to change the habit to cough at the right place, but it was pretty hard changing that habit, especially since I've been told since I was a kid to cough in my hands.

I see. It's not like that here. I didn't need a parent's signature when I opened my first bank account when I was 16. Although I did need it when I got my first credit card when I was 18.

Best thing you could do for now is let her know that reporting them for sexual harassment and also reporting that to their parents will give them pretty bad consequences. Then again he might bully her because of that but that means you could go ahead and let her know that you're there for her and that if the continue you'll defend her.

What the hell? He makes more money than his mom, and his mom feels it right to take it from him. I've seen it happen pretty often. Why doesn't he lay down the law? He likes complaining. He's only 17. He has to live there at least until he graduates. He doesn't want to make his life any harder. Can't he open an account at another bank? Without his mom knowing?

Cars
Meh, appointment tomorrow for my car, was going to get the machine plugged in to know why the check engine is showing, but one of my new friends in college has one of those machines, so I got the code and which sensor for free instead of $30! P0141 sensor heater bank 1 sensor 2 circuit malfunction. Probably going to be a fast fix when the mechanic takes a look. Car wasn't able to go uphill at the end of last week, until I drove 1h to my parent's place lol. Edit: Googled it. Now makes a lot of sense that the car had no power, it's an oxygen sensor.

I assume it returned via UPS? They didn't get the required signature and left it on his doorstep; sadly, he lives in a seedy neighborhood and it was stolen. Moral of the story: [bleep] UPS. You can see if your package will require a signature online, and if it does, it will not be left on the doorstep. You can also ask UPS to hold the package at one of their stores until you pick it up (in a reasonable amount of time). Tell that to my router, my china set, my dad's Dewalt drill, and the countless other things that require a signature and the delivery guys can't be bothered to deal with. And anyway, YOU RUINED THE JOKE. Also could tell that to my friend that had his $2000 laptop on his doorstep when he came home sometime last year, when it was delivered by UPS. Quite lucky it didn't get stolen.

Take note that statistically you are not safer with a helmet because drivers are more alert near you/give wider berth if you don't have one. Still a good idea to use one in case you flip over. And on top of that, when wearing a helmet you are also more likely to take more risks than when you didn't have the helmet on. This often causes many people to get into more accidents that the helmet is unable to prevent injury in. Well that's messed up. And I was planning to use my helmet only when I'm riding on roads hah. I'm not a risk taker although I do go at some speed which can cause drivers to misjudge me and think I'm going slow enough for them to pull out. Just gotta be alert so I guess that means no headphones in. It's true :uhh:: I don't see the difference between not having a helmet and having one. There's still going to be a lot of abuse from drivers.

Coping with a monthly usage limit.
My ISP is BellAliant and it's one of 2 ISPs in my region, the other being Rogers, which by the way, I was with but was getting 3Mb/s when paying for 10Mb/s and a 95GB limit. Right now I'm paying for 15Mb/s and this is what I'm getting:

Coping with a monthly usage limit.
Or increase the cap? I know you'd be paying more but that sucks. Looks like a lot of people have caps, I don't have one. A lot of people around here go with the same ISP as the one I'm using specifically for this, since they use about 300GB bandwidth per month.

Labtops
That's like a $3000 laptop during benchmarking... not a laptop anyone would buy for school. I do agree that the design is a flaw for heat dissipation. I never said they are perfect but to me to battery life is worth the money. There are pros and cons for either laptop. Everyone has their own individual needs and should buy a laptop according to those needs. If your laptop is to move from office to office or for traveling where plugging in is never an issue you could buy any laptop you'd like. There is also an optical audio output and backlit keyboard which are important to people who use them. I'd also like to add the review you posted was 17 months ago and that chip is no longer used in the MacBooks either. Some people do buy these for school. For example one person in my class at college. Who by the way had to get a laptop from college temporarily today because there was something wrong with his macbook.

I'm not pushing my beliefs on anyone (I am taking part in said debates). I'm defending and clarifying what I believe; you have no idea how many people lack adequate knowledge on the subject of Catholicism. They make assumptions about what we believe that are wrong, and I don't want other people to see these assumptions and think they're true. Anyway, I'm not sure I like that topic creation simply because I know it'll take up so much of my time as long as it exists, and I dunno if I have that amount of time. :s @AGreatMonk: I totally taught myself how to do that when I saw that video a week or so ago. So cool. :thumbup: Sorry I didn't mean that people try to push beliefs on anyone, I worded my post wrong. I just don't like to participate in religious debates because there usually is no way out. Personally I don't really care what they think, and if they want to be ignorant, then so be it.

Religious debates (best I can think of on these forums) annoy the hell out of me. They pop up in most threads that I read and it's always the same arguments, yet sometimes said differently. I might be Catholic but I'm not going to push my beliefs on other people nor do I expect atheist will try to push me out of religion. In other words, I never participate in those debates.

...A little harsh, but anyways Back to the grind of school tomorrow, I'm in college and honors classes, but somehow the slackers/stupid monkeys still manage to get through and proceed to be lazy and benefit from others I thought I would be done with these people once I got into these classes :wall: You'll never be done with these people, not even if you find a job. Trust me, been there.

Yeah yeah, if it isn't a thinkpad it's a piece of [cabbage] amirite It's an Ideapad Y560P and I was upgrading from an HP Compaq Presario so it's not like it could be less [cabbage]ty... No, not even thinkpads are high quality, it's with the letters you find in the model. For example they rencently discontinued their G models on thinkpads, one of the only good models. I have no idea about your model though if it's good quality or not, so yeah, an upgrade from a compaq is definitely good.

What's your laptop model? Usually Lenovo stuff isn't good quality except for one of their lines.
