They have a better chance of reattaching social stigma to marijuana. I'm only sort of kidding when I say Bell is probably going to try subliminal messaging on CP24 to get people to stop circumventing their attempts at total vertical integration.

Ya, great Canadian content, like Corner Gas, Train 48 and

The only two good Canadian shows in the last twenty-five years were Forever Knight, and Little Mosque on the Prairie (S1-3 only). :colbert:

drat it. Beaten. If you like nerd stores, we actually have a good selection for CCGs, comics, minis, and boardgames. Better than K/W and possibly even Toronto.

Otherwise, London is just an oversized college town, and pitstop between Toronto and Detroit.
Nice bike paths though.

Honestly, I don't play CCGs or minis, or read comics much anymore. I do like some boardgames, though it's hard to find people to play with. What kind of nerd stores are we talkin? Also has anybody used that Cardboard Cafe or whatever?

Sorry in advance to others for Londonchat but I work from home so it's impossible to find people who know about poo poo.

It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grammes a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. Parsons swallowed it easily, with the stupidity of an animal. The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grammes. Syme, too-in some more complex way, involving doublethink, Syme swallowed it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?

Unblock-us was banned by Paypal, another reason not to use Paypal for anything anymore I guess. Unblock-us also seems to be playing a cat and mouse game with Netflix right now. I contacted them after getting the "You're using an unblocker" notice from Netflix and they've given me a new set of DNS IPs to use. This resulted in a strange week where I'd be able to play one episode of something and then be blocked on the next, or sometimes go hours without incident. It seems to be getting better over time. I think Unblock-us is playing some war of attrition with cycling endpoint IPs or something.

Netflix just dinged me with the "Using an unblocker" when I tried to watch The Batman. loving Hell. :sigh:
