A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations ...... and that they're a communist.

.... on side note, the old guy actually looks like a native elder I knew years ago from Six Nations in southern Ontario

As an indigenous person who grew up without running water or modern plumbing for the first ten years of my life in Canada .... I always appreciated this quote ...

Will Durant Quote: “From barbarism to civilization requires a century; from civilization to barbarism needs but a day.”

Personality, presence and confidence

Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.

Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.

I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.

I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.

Same here .... last time, I took a tablet and watched two full movies of my own choosing that I wanted to watch. Instead of having the choice of 10 whatever movies that the airline has available, I got to watch what I wanted for the 7 hour flight. The rest of the time, I just slept.

Best combination - your own tablet loaded with your own videos and audio and a good pair of noise cancelling headphones.

Make sure to download all content before the flight to work offline, load it all and test it the day before the flight. Disconnect the tablet from the internet and leave it disconnected. (The first time I did this, I loaded tons of Spotify content, didn't test it beforehand and couldn't access any of it on the eight hour flight).

Best way to do it is to just download audio and video files that are not tied to any service like Netflix/Amazon/Spotify/whatever.

Give yourself hours of content to choose from.

Have a nice flight.

In that same vein of logic … they should name the Highway Construction Worker as our Provincial Animal at this point.

If only we could come up with a new more modern way of transporting heavy goods … like mass transports … using only one giant powerful engine … with trailers of goods all tied together by the dozens … on a sturdy road … maybe made of iron … we could build these roads specifically just for these massive transports, separate from the public to keep people safe and save our roads from damage.

Whoops ... wrong thread (I am rewording my original response to this)

Trucks gained all importance because it meant it all consumed more oil and gas instead of saving energy by having trains. Why would corporations spend tens of thousands on fuel for a train pulling tons of material across the country when they could spend billions and billions of endless fuel on millions of transport trucks destroying roads made of oil and asphalt that have to be repaired on an annual basis?

I would join the same protest..... but then later that week I'd join the next protest demanding they fix the road I just asked them not to work on.

It's frustrating in northern Ontario because the combination of cold winters and lots and lots of heavy transport trucks every day means that our roads are no good after about four years.

Which means we only have two highway seasons ....

Winter Season and Construction Season

That pit has about the same density and firmness as an avocado pit.

Aliens want to communicate and they decide to use you and your personality as the base model for all humans. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
