Dad and I built a variety of Heathkit and EICO stuff way back when, from oscilloscopes to signal generators to whatever.

The situation right now with the Doogee U10 tablet: not commonly available.

Once the news gets out about epic breakthroughs on commodity hardware and devices, there's unfortunately a likely spike in the purchase cost, even if such devices can be found at all anymore on the usual online sources of new and used goods.

Such lists are always a good starting point for debate and whataboutism.

If you're referring to the title, it conflates a relatively small geographic area having a large, concentrated population (York University, GTA, Southern Ontario) with a vastly larger but less densely concentrated national population (the rest of Canada), so it is easily seen as irritating to folks in the latter. Not hard to understand. Not a conspiracy.

I guess to make it look like an obsolete OS it must itself be obsolete.

That's quite an overreaction.

Station staff can also dip the tanks and call for refills as needed. Commonplace.

Point conceded, although I hasten to add Ralph's infamous "Eastern bums and creeps" quote to the mix.

Another Alberta bumper sticker from the early 1980s foreclosure era said something like: ''Please, God, let there be another oil boom and this time I won't blow all my money away!"

The massively wide variety of desktop options makes your opinion difficult to assess. Which have you tried?

If I remember correctly, the guidance from the Supreme Court on riding sizes is plus/minus 15% difference from average, with special cases of low population density over large geographic areas allowing as much as plus/minus 40% from average.

Electoral boundaries commissions in Canada have been obligated to take input from all who submit complaints about riding sizes. That's different than those commissions being able to actually achieve something asymptotic to ''parity'', of course, but the net effect is that all those golden opportunities in long term AB-friendly power were missed, as I say.

That was former AB PM Ralph Klein's infamous quote.

> Alberta has been one of the most under-represented province in the federal government

Each time Albertans (I'm a 4th generation of that group) complain about lack of representation within federalism, I remind them of the many golden opportunities that came and went with their popularly elected and re-elected federal parties in power for long stretches of time, with Harper even representing an Alberta riding, yet here we are with complaints that rehash the same old, same old stuff. Nothing about federalism is ever good enough for them even after all those years of pro-AB feds in power.

I forgot about that! They were in the Central Division of the Campbell Conference, which was renamed the Western Conference the next year, and didn't return to the Eastern until 1998-99.

My little grey cells don't seem to store Leafs info well. Oh, did you hear? Bill Barilko disappeared. He was on a fishing trip.

Sports leagues mirror those commmon conceptions. Toronto is always put in the East alignment of pro sports leagues. Apart from a rough patch for the CFL in the 1980s when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were moved over to the East, they and the Jets have always been in the West.

Cold War RCAF brat here. Wherever Dad was transferred, that's where we went. It was a joy, but I've found over the years that folks sometimes get a bit cranky when I cannot pinpoint which part of Canada I'm from... for me, it has always been ''everywhere''.

I acknowledge your perspective, fair enough, but it seems focused on the present. Western alienation goes far, far back, predating Confederation. The golden age of the Atlantic provinces goes back to a period hundreds of years ago, too. I'm just pointing out from a historical view that the cultural effect of so much power and influence being centred in Toronto and Montreal had, and continues to have, a large influence on Canadians, going back many, many generations. Some grind axes, others shrug, some stand up and shout "Excuse me, we've been here all along too, what about us?" I remain positive and upbeat that we'll sort it all out together.

Sad that there is no mention or depiction of Canada's own magazine of that era, ''Electron''. It was commonly found alongside the big U.S. electronics periodicals like those shown here. Electron was a mainstay right up to the mid-1970s when it suddenly transitioned to ''Audio Scene Canada'', laden with glossy ads and a tight focus upon HiFi music products but no longer catering to the hobbyist or general electronics fields. I cancelled my subscription.

Had the title and focus been on ''Ontario'' or ''Toronto'', all would have been better.

I was once a supporting sysdamin for HP-UX 10.20 (on HP 9000/725) workstations that were running Mentor Graphics EDA software for designing board layouts. The designers referred to that application as ''Tormentor'' Graphics on bad days, though it was generally great for them. The OS was stable as a rock and never let us down. Not CAD/CAM, but similar purpose.

It was left up in an unprotected state by Alberta separatists. Intentional?

Right, point taken, but I wasn't following how nicotine properties were connected to coffee's health benefits.

Are you researching whether you'll get cancer if you are extracting 100% pure nicotine and ingesting it? Who does that?

And you thought Ford screwed up with the Pinto's rear-ender disasters in the 1970s? This idea for a rear-ender calamity came along way before.

Dupe.

For 4x4 pickup trucks, bring back physical transfer case shifters and get rid of the idiotic menus for that. Also bring back transfer case Neutral mode so that flat towing again becomes commonplace. A Jeep Gladiator pickup is a great vehicle but doesn't replace larger pickup trucks that have lost those great transfer case features.
