The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Sometimes I mash my fingers across the keyboard as quickly as possible- like, 500wpm or some shit- and trick non tech people or kids into thinking I'm really typing.
the funny thing is, we have these crazy high requirements, so that your average immigrant from India is like a neurosurgeon or an engineer
but then they immigrate here and find out that their qualifications aren't valid here, so they end up working as janitors
This is the most fucking retarded thing
There must be some kind of discrimination going on if they can do everything to get in but get stonewalled at being hired
Why would they have even been accepted if their qualifications weren't valid?!
It's because the federal government recognizes the local certifications for the purposes of meeting the immigration threshold, but the provincial society of engineers or physicians college is under no obligation to do the same, and mostly chooses not to for a variety of reasons
One of the biggest being that the fewer doctors and engineers there are, the more they can charge for their services, and fight anything that threatens their bottom line by whining about "a shortage of doctors".
Perhaps.
I think it's legitimate to question whether or not the curriculum at Bangalore Upstate Brainology Clinic is consistent with the pedagogical approach and practical requirements of the degrees issued under the aegis of $PROVINCIAL REGULATORY BODY.
Now maybe there needs to be some kind of reduced-cost, 1 year evaluation and re-certification course. And Immigration Canada absolutely needs to be more upfront about the challenges in becoming a professional in this country with foreign training. But it's not nearly as simply as "it's just greed, all they have to do is say yes to these guys"

I did this at my old government job pretty much all the time to trick my boss into thinking I was working
I'm not one to complain about service, but our waitress did not give a single solitary fuck
It's a little off the beaten, so you'll probably never accidentally wind up there, but honestly despite all the amazing restaurants, there are only two reasons to schlep out to queens on the N train:
Dutch Kills Bar
Astoria Beer Garden
I've got two happy hours next week, but the week after I'm free Monday-Tuesday for Trinity

Terror mission popped up, last one for the night
It went well, mostly because I didn't go in with the bravado I normally do that tends to get dudes killed
Good number of civvies got killed though, could have avoided that by rushing in I think
Still, good stuff! Two whole gas stations got blown up by misfires just to take out a single alien, an ethereal in one and a big orange frog looking thing called a reaper in the other
Killcount: Cass: 3 (One sectoid, ethereal, and reaper) ChocoKinesis: 1 (Ethereal) Elldren: 1 (Sectoid) Jacobkosh: 6 (Two sectoids, three ethereals, one reaper) Pony: 3 (Two sectoids, one ethereal) Lady Pony: 1 (Ethereal) simonwolf: 3 (Two ethereals, one reaper) South host: 1 (Reaper)

in the space of like 2 minutes an entire gang of villains with distinct personalities is introduced and explored, and the Fedora guy is even made into a kind of charming anti-hero, and then the entire thing is linked across two decades by nothing more than a distinct style of dress to a "present day" triumph of Indy over a long-standing foe who had just been introduced 30 seconds before
I assume this is mostly Tom Stoppard at work; like Kasdan with Raiders, Last Crusade just seems much, much better constructed than the other two

I didn't say it was just greed, but short-sighted protection of their members' livelihood is a factor, I think. And yes, questioning the curriculum is fine, but how many actually have their credentials accepted, even with conditions?
It amazes when I look back now how much Batman:TAS, Superman:TAS and the X-Men cartoon in the early 90's has affected my likes especially with certain comics.

It's impossible to answer that question, as it varies both by professional certification and by province

Shirley Walker's music for all of those shows was fantastic
Apparently my thesis group is having a group lunch on Thursday, so I need to bring food of some kind
What should I make, with the assumption that I have limited kitchen time and space
tea biscuits. They are awesome and quick and easy. or cake. or a quiche/tart of some kind.
It's impossible to answer that question, as it varies both by professional certification and by province
good music! I wish I knew more songs like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcKJflBG8Q
hahaha, that video lists the artist as "Shaquille O'Neal"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kvpKlRF8l0
I love his use of "Ride of the Valkyries" in this.
