We’re going to try a few rounds of Private, then try for a surrogate, and then adopt/foster. We’d ideally like one of ours, but we know there’s loads of kids that need a stable home.

Prayed too hard

Maybe it’s time for me to find religion…

Yeah, over in the UK(depending on what country) if you’re under 40 you get 2-4(?) rounds on the NHS. But due to the pandemic, and us moving to Scotland from London, my wife turned 40 before we were able to be seen. Our one round had two embryos, one botched implant because the clinic was adamant that they implant unfrozen, despite the hormones from up/down regulation for egg retrieval causing such massive inflammation for my wife that it took an hour and a half to implant(should be less than 10 minutes.) The second embryo failed before it could be implanted. So now we’re going for private in Athens. Even with last minute flights, last minute accommodation and transport costs while we’re there, it’ll be £3000-£4000 cheaper than going private here in Scotland.
And even then we’re looking at remortgaging our house to afford it. We’re by no means poor. What was it my wife called us…DINKs? Dual Income, No Kids. And we own the house we live in outright thanks to her parents buying at the right time, and her inheriting early enough to avoid any excess taxes. But we have basically no disposable income. In one hand, out the other.

Anyway, I hope for all the best with you two. It’s an absolute motherfucker. If you’ll pardon my french…

We watched a bit, it was good, but hit to close to home for the Mrs.

I’m 38, wife is 40, absolutely heartbreaking. We’ve been trying for 5 years, went to the NHS for IVF, but because of the pandemic we “aged out” of multiple rounds. The one go we had didn’t result in pregnancy, and if we can’t conceive with as many rounds as we can afford private were planning to adopt. Which is pretty difficult in the UK actually.

Bok bok

I’m sure they do, however, as with 90%+ of most EULA’s contents, that wouldn’t stand up as legally binding in a fair number of countries.

As Russ notes, this is the second strike from Nintendo on his channel. The first, it’s worth pointing out, was related to his coverage of a device which allows you to dump Switch games to your computer

[My emphasis]
It should be noted, the only way to legally play an emulated game is to dump the files off a cart/cd/floppy/w.e that you personally own. Which makes this even more egregious, as the video is about a device that could be used for piracy, but is also one of the only ways to legally make a backup of your property.

Yep, just as bad as I remember.

Well, there was that one time

Oh, the time where the cops did fuck all for ages because they had more in common with the “protesters” than the populace they were harassing?

I mean…they were doing just fine at systemic racism before they had the help of AI. So no sympathy from me. There’s definitely some cops who try to do good within the system, but the system is broken, so inevitably…ACAB.

It wasn’t an active war anymore, and Atari isn’t Atari anymore. Idk about Intellivision, but I’m sure they’ve changed hands loads and diluted their brand too. Nothing burger “war” tastes of nothing

Sick, purchased!

I also would be interested in knowing

Even a broken clock is right twice a day…

With Clarence Thomas it’s once every few decades.

Pffffffffffff…believe it when people start reporting not being fucked and fleeced

I’ve been telling everyone I know to sign, even those without any interest in video games, as stronger consumer protections are always good 👍

As mentioned by @JohnnyCanuck

So, the owner of this specific store posted it. As much as I hate how Loblaws has been capitalizing on peoples’ needs, this isn’t Loblaws, it’s the owner of one store.

Do you know that for sure? I found this from seven months ago, if it’s the same manager, he seems to be getting away with it:

Pharmacy Assistant vs Volunteer

I’ve applied to about 15 SDM branches across Toronto for the past month until today. My applications were mixed. Even if I applied online, I also visit the branch to personally drop my resume. There was this one branch who told me that it’s nearly impossible to get inside SDM as a pharmacy assistant without Canadian pharmacy experience. I was a licensed pharmacist in my home country and I practiced clinical pharmacy for over 2 years.

According to him, the best way to get in the system and their records will be as a volunteer. He was kinda of disappointed with how the system works, claiming that SDM encourages volunteerism to save a lot on training costs. Is it true that being a volunteer will help me out once there is a vacancy or an opening for a pharmacy assistant slot? Can I use it on my future applications as well?

Yes

Everyone that I know who moves to Vancouver from abroad and moved back cited Cost of Living as one of the main factors.

When I moved from Vancouver to London(UK) a few years ago I was shocked at how cheap food and basically everything else was, even after exchange rate things like milk and veg were 2-5× cheaper in the UK. The only thing that was markedly more expensive was energy and natural gas.
