    Yeah, pretty predictable and I think I clocked the final bad guy about 15 minutes in. Still, I enjoyed it for the mindless entertainment that it was. I'm all Rock'd out, at this point.

    I haven't played the games but some people who have described the storyline as what might have happened in the games, if the players' characters weren't involved.

    Cuts. Skilled trades training, via institutions like community colleges, has also seen cuts.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    In higher education we've been getting budget cuts year after year. We're cutting people. There are always ways to save money but the best one, being able to spend on multi-year contracts to get discounts, isn't possible with the way that funding currently works and at current funding levels.

    Non citizen. They're stopping (and shooting) citizens.

    That's not what unions are for. They're your advocates, until such time as charges are proved.

    I would say "far more than should be." When Dennis Mahoney-Bruer was charged a lot of his stunt driving charges went away, as well. And he wasn't even convicted.

    Sure there is. They aren't following it. You have stop and identify States. Then you have States that don't provide for that. It's not a Federal level thing, unless you mean a Constitutional Law issue. That's 4th Amendment; right against unreasonable search and seizure.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    Anyone can start a conversation and anyone has a right to walk away. They ask. Then they demand. Then they arrest. That's not the same thing.

    Yeah. My father was a functioning alcoholic. The 10 foot wide space under the front windows in our dining room would be filled, wall to wall, with a 3 foot tall stack of empty 2-4s on a weekly basis.

    I very much liked that the devoted a whole episode to "Doorman" and the reason why supes can't be hired as actors.

    Just a bit more soused than the average "wine mom."

    "Wonder Man" on D+ - Incredibly fun. Not the Wonder Man that I remember from '70s comics, but in the MCU the origin of Vision kind of killed off that possibility. Still, they based in around his start as an actor and immediately brought back Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley).

    Three from Brampton. Any wonder that so many truckers, who are involved in incidents, have a Brampton address? I feel less safe here on a daily basis.

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Do you mean city hall? I worked with the son-in-law of the developer, decades ago. He mentioned that the developer was trying to buy up any private parking lots in the area, because he knew they had under-supplied parking for the building. They also hadn't included a finished basement area...

    Speed camera update (Sept.11)

    Because they stupidly pursued what they thought would be a source of revenue, rather than it being about public safety. The "loan" is from "strategic reserve funds", which means that they appropriated money, from existing emergency funds, in order to fund this debacle. It's not like it's a...

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    As private individuals they have no obligation to take any specific case. With that said, I have nothing but respect for lawyers who take the unpopular cases. I might rage at the time, however, the fact that they are doing that job keeps police and The Crown honest, by holding them to the...

    I couldn't get a Street Views location that was any closer than that, for obvious reasons.

    Law Enforcement - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.....

    What they don't have, is the mandate to randomly stop people and demand "Papers!", like it's WWII Germany. This is what they are currently doing. In fact off duty Minneapolis police officers are reporting being stopped and told to identify by ICE/CBP officers. In every case it's race based. I...
