Speed limit on Lansdowne, as is the case on many major roads in Toronto, is 40km/h. Of course some do exceed to the excesses you mention, but they are an exceptional rarity, especially on this particular stretch with a blind curve dipping under a train trestle (just out of frame to the right).

    Or are you just jealous envious that she's accomplished more than you?

    Point of order,

    Jealosy is a desire to own and keep from others something that is yours. It is in the same vein as zealotry.

    Envy is wanting to own and take from others something that they have. It is in the same vein as coveting.

    These are not synonymous, nor interchangeable.

    Agreed. It doesn't make much sense to have nukes before the flagpole dick-waving contest. If you do that, there's no more anything left, so no flagpoles for contests. Much more practical to hold the contest first, and have the nukes after that.

    I was using them to take apart monitor arms, cut boxes, etc.

    ... disassemble the corporate helicopter fleet, clean the salmon & beef steaks for the team's BBQ lunch, tighten the bolts on the hatchway to the HVAC-access roof, recalibrate our GPS markers for the DST changeover... just the usual.

    I had the same complaint/confusion, thankfully elucidated by others' earlier replies.

    I conclude that this ABC journalist, Meredith Deliso, is simply incompetent and ill-suited to her profession, lacking talent and verve for clarity of expression. Fuckin' typical.

    I too like silence, then music, when the album I'm listening to intended to have a break between songs.

    However, if the songs' tracks are meant to fade from one to the next without a break, it's annoying and distracting if I can hear a silence between them, however small -- even just a click -- then music.

    If I hadn't taken the photo myself, I mightn't believe it to be true.

    As it decayed, the bit of cream in this cup's last sip of coffee had some life to yet support, and spawned an hilarious caricature.

    This was left in an out-of-the way corner of a kitchen I worked at a few years ago. Genuinely impressed by nature's ways, my first comment was, "Hey guys, check it out, this goop looks like Cartman."

    Tactfully I withheld my second comment, an inquiry: "Why couldn't whichever one of you thoughtless degenerate stoners that left it there a week ago just've thrown it out?"

    Mould moves in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform. It performs at quick-time in a restaurant kitchen, and I'll never work in one again, so help me God.
