Is it all ice cream or just chocolate chip mint?

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these people? You go from being the "law and order" party to being the party of one of the biggest con men of the past century.

But.. do you pay subscription for Steam that they can just jack up any time they want and there isn't anything you can do about it other than straight up quit and lose all your stuff?

No. That's why.

Well, he hasn't hid it for the last 2 decades in politics, so why bother now when he's leader of the party and (sadly) likely the country in a year.

Most of the time it’s groups of 2 (unless we’re talking about municipal development, which is a different beast altogether, I’m thinking firms that do lots of out-of-town work), but often you can be in camps as support. Frequently, there will be a team working a big project on rotation, so lots of opportunity for shared experiences.

Admittedly, my experience in rugged coastal mountains isn’t going to be the same as those that are working in dense urban environments. I assume because OP is talking about camps that they live in a place that offers reasonably close proximity to wilderness.

Also, you have to have a fairly high interest in math and the outdoors to stick with the profession.

Land surveying would be my recommendation. Jobs can be all over and as someone living in BC, my days of fieldwork could be absolutely spectacular sometimes. You also tend to jump around in worksites and with the right firm, travelling is definitely possible.

The man that should stop Donald Trump is Donald Trump.

It’s stunning that he can say and do so much.. terribleness.. and still even have a chance at the presidency (again).

I assume it’s looking for that one space that should be a semi-colon in a sea of garbled letters.

You think the entire populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military?

Also, entire cities in Southern Germany were entirely wiped out. Munich was re-built from the ground up.

“Choosing”

 

A Vancouver woman is asking for the courts to make an example of her neighbour, a practising lawyer she alleges has filed a baseless pseudolegal lawsuit against her in an attempt to “provoke a state of fear.”

 

An oil executive who is also the Alberta Foundation of the Arts chair becomes a one-man board for a Banff institution. Province doesn't explain why it fired the board but expressed hope to bring a "refreshed future."

 

A pair of Conservative MPs will try to compel a CBC executive and a journalism standards director to appear before a House of Commons committee to defend the company's language guide — which discourages the use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorists" when describing attacks and their perpetrators.
