This was from the last time, for the kids who don’t remember or maybe weren’t even around. (A1 and Sports front of The Globe and Mail and The Toronto Star, Wed. Oct. 13, 1993.)

Front page of The Globe and Mail of Oct. 13, 1993, top headline reads “Jays set to defend Series title.” At the bottom of the page, another headline reads: “Palestinians poised for the birth of their nation.”

Front page of Globe and Mail Sports section of Oct. 13, 1993, headline reads: “The eyes have it for Blue Jays.”

For the record, in Ontario jails, 78 percent of people are in pre-trial detention and have not been convicted. Facilities are so overcrowded they are triple-bunking in tiny cells.

Carney's announcement on bail/sentencing reform. Doing pretty much the opposite of what the legal community says.

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to combat crime, protect Canadians, and build safer communities

October 16, 2025
Etobicoke, Ontario

In a rapidly changing and more dangerous world, Canada is focused on what we can control. We are building our economy with major projects and millions more homes, we are empowering Canadians with lower costs and new opportunities to help you get ahead, and we are protecting our communities and our country. We cannot control what other nations do, but we can control what we choose to build – and we are building Canada strong.

Safe, resilient communities are the backbone of a strong Canada. They attract people, families, businesses, and investment, and enable greater certainty and prosperity. To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced new measures today that will protect Canadians and keep our communities safe. Canada’s new government will:

Strengthen Canada’s Criminal Code to keep violent and repeat offenders out of our communities. Next week, the government will table legislation to amend the Criminal Code for crimes committed by violent and repeat offenders – those accused of serious crimes like violent auto theft, breaking and entering, human trafficking, violent assault, and sexual assault. The legislation will include the following amendments:
Introducing reverse-onus bail for major crimes.
Allowing consecutive sentencing so multiple crimes mean longer time behind bars.
Imposing harsher penalties for organised retail theft.
Restricting conditional sentences for a number of sexual offences.
Hire 1,000 Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) personnel. In Budget 2025, the government will invest $1.8 billion over four years to increase federal policing capacity across Canada to combat crime – including online fraud, money laundering, online child sexual exploitation, and organised criminal networks that threaten Canada’s economic and national security.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.

And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.

At the airport. For airport jobs.

I’m reading the quotes and replies on this post, and I can’t tell if people are saying
“yes, the odds are fake and that’s partly why the game is funny”
or
“the odds are real and it’s funny that players can’t deal with that”

They do. They collect taxes and they add their own exorbitant fees on top of it.

www.ups.com/us/en/shippi...

Screenshot. Highlighted text: “please pay online at UPS.com prior to delivery.”

Full text:

How do I pay the outstanding import tax and fees?
The best way to pay fees is online before delivery. Start by tracking your package on UPS.com. If a yellow banner appears, click the Pay Now link. You will be taken to a page to see details on the fees and view payment options.

Your delivery driver may also be able to accept payment at the time of delivery. However, a $12 surcharge will be applied; if so, payment options are limited.

For the best delivery experience possible and to avoid this surcharge, please pay online at UPS.com prior to delivery.

Looks like every time your phone corrected the spelling of a word, the correctly spelled word was appended to the end of your message instead of replacing the word you were typing.

I bet somebody thought it would be smart to capture keyboard events instead of the actual contents of the input box.

BREAKING
Kneecap Not Banned from Canada.
Sources Inside Prime Minister Carney's Office Confirm MP Vince Gasparro Went Rogue; Liberals Trying to Hush Story

OTTAWA, ON - In a dramatic turn of events on a day already marked by major announcements - Canada's recognition of Palestinian statehood and the tabling of a new federal hate crimes bill
- sources inside the Prime Minister's Office have confirmed that Irish rap group Kneecap was never officially banned from Canada, despite Liberal MP Vince Gasparro's public statements.
According to a senior PMO insider, Gasparro went rogue in making the announcement, lied about receiving authorization from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and may have committed a serious breach of the federal Privacy Act, an unprecedented scandal in Canadian history.
"The PMO explicitly asked MP Gasparro whether he had IRCC's authorization to make his announcement - he said yes.
That was false," the source confirmed. "No decision had been made by IRCC or the
PMO. His statement was completely unauthorized."
