Rats can get through any hole that their skulls can fit through....

I think I said it last time around, but every restaurant I've ever worked in has had mice or rats. Every single one. Now, that doesn't mean they're crawling all over the food, but especially in area...

Not to mention the deductible, which is usually at least $500....

Yes, if someone assaulted me and smashed my camera, I would have called the cops and pressed charges. That's what the cops are for....

Taking someone's photograph does not warrant assault under any circumstances. It seems like he had permission from the establishment to be there photographing the event anyway, but if he didn't, you ...

Condo developers usually do have less parking spaces than there are units, but they certainly don't usually choose to have "spare" spaces to turn over to the board for rental, although that could be a...

Wow! I had no idea. Also, a few weeks back, I was driving down the escarpment in Grimsby where you can often see the city far, far way, but that day, everything was totally magnified by the atmosphe...

I thought it did too, but there was only one of them I ever saw, and I didn't think that a wine company like Noble Estates would essentially advertise bedside drunkenness, or be stupid enough to put u...

I've worked very peripherally with Raine in the context of War Child, and he walks the walk, going to Darfur and Iraq with them and bringing a huge amount of awareness to the NGO. He mentions a bit a...

I'm old enough to remember code wheels and write-protect stickers. I even had a cassette drive. Dastardly kids today and their new-fangled machine computers. Back in the day, our triangle spaceship...

The colour cast is likely done after the fact in Camera RAW/Lightroom/Aperture using the RAW file from the camera (shooting in RAW allows much better control over the colour channels, as it's all the ...

twiggyfan14: Just to continue being accurate—not that it really matters to your point anyway—most meat consumed in Canada and the U.S., by volume, is beef. By far. Ethics aside, beef is also our pri...

The average meat eater shares those farm animals a year with other meat eaters. They don't eat 35 full animals. North American human omnivores each consume about a hundred kilograms of meat per year...

Speaking of old-school sampling, the Amen Break is probably an even more significant theft than James Brown's "Funky Drummer." (That linked video may be 18-minutes long, but it's totally interesting.)...

Many store-brand products are the exact same product, literally, as name-brand stuff. House brands like Compliments, PC, and Equality are often rebranded versions of private brands, or come from the ...

But the City rarely demands anything significant in fear of scaring the developer away, or because the developer waved a token amount of cash in front of their faces to grease some wheels. It's the e...

I've only been in a Wal-Mart once in my life, and it was a few months ago at a Wal-Mart Superstore in Scarborough. I wasn't protesting, necessarily; it's just that there aren't any Wal-Marts anywhere...

AJB: What I said was that someone was paying somebody with a bag of chips and getting "virtually free labour" for their enterprise in return. If I hire anybody to stand on a corner and hold a sign, t...

I said it above, and I will repeat: it's not about giving homeless people work; it's about the kind of work they are being given. Paying someone to hold up a sign isn't the problem—it's that the sign...

PickleToes: It's not a matter of whom is responsible for their situation, but rather whom is exploiting it for profit. Just because people might let you take advantage of them doesn't mean that you s...
