Reply to comment by hoarder59 in TIL that when former White House press secretary James Brady died in 2014, his death was ruled a homicide because it was ultimately caused by a gunshot wound he sustained in 1981, during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan by IAmTiborius
I remember there being 9/11 victims who didn’t die for a few years after 2001.

This is where the United States is ahead of Canada. Quebec gets away with stuff that would never be allowed in the US due to the First Amendment.

Canada has two official languages.
Last I checked Canada wasn’t fascist.

“Zed” is Canada. As in, Club Zed points at Zellers.

In English, anyways. French has W and Y with more than one syllable, and Spanish has F, H, J, L, M, N, Ñ, R, W, X, Y, and Z with multiple syllables - and possibly other letters, I forget.

I never give out my email address unless it’s absolutely necessary. My phone number as well.
I stopped shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond because of how pushy they were for me to give that info out. That info was not necessary for me to compete the purchase. Now they’ve lost a customer that would’ve had a high lifetime CV which has shifted to one of their competitors instead.

My favorite thing about flying through Washington is the mountains. Mount Rainier and Baker.

I always thought the 12 days were Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays, and 3 mystery days.

And I thought Toronto’s Eglinton line was a disaster.
