With a high enough mains voltage absolutely.

A few friends and I are planning a 90s lan. Simple rules like no games published after 2001-08-23, no internet, only self-hosted servers, and all shit talking must be out loud. Also shit talking must be kid safe since we're all old and have kids old enough to be competent but young enough we don't want to teach them the true art of shit talking.

I tend to get new soccer balls only when there's a world cup. I just buy the current world cup replica. My favourites are South Africa and Qatar.

It's the lead lining.

I'm on Ubuntu because work too. I really hope nobody gets the idea to do really silly things like enforce Gnome or something. Wouldn't put it past them.

Sway on Arch master race?

I'm probably not the best person to ask. I've never lived in Regina, but from visiting it's similar to Saskatoon, except it has a man-made lake instead of a nice river valley. It's a nice enough city, but it's also clearly a government town. As for London, I've never been. I have family there, and part of my family moved to Saskatchewan from London over 100 years ago.

I would have, but my first minimum wage-type job was after high school. I didn't make enough to pay into CPP, but I don't know if that's a universal truth for younger workers or just because I didn't work more than 10 hours a week.

Also fun fact, going back go my original comment about wage: Saskatchewan's October increase to its general minimum wage won't catch up to Ontario's current student wage. Things are cheaper here, yes, but things aren't (much if any) cheaper in Saskatoon or Regina than in London.

What part of Canada? I see old pickups and SUVs all the time.

#4 is huge. I had an '89 Ford Probe. It had 330000km on it when the bottom rusted out and wasn't worth repairing. Mechanically that thing was still perfectly sound, and probably could have put another 100k on it.
