Maybe Iain M. Banks' Culture series, if you're not familiar with his work already. The books are generally standalobe stories, but there are some recurring side characters and references to earlier books. Consider Phlebas is the first one I think.

Terry Pratchett Discworld books? From memory the ones about witches at least had a good bit of it.

Yeah Canadian prepaid plans all seem to have the scammy expiring bullshit built in.

I use my phone basically just for maps and being reachable in an emergency. Best one in Canada I've found that actually works is $99 a year or $119 if I want data (which I do need). A couple of the "budget" options have the exact same plan, but I went with Freedom to not have to deal with Rogers bs. These have unlimited calls and texts, data is limited to 15GB / year, but it's just goes to slow speed after 15GB at no extra costs. Very pricey for what I need it for still.

I used to have shitty prepaid plan sold by petrocan where the cheapest option was $25 for 3 months, but with very limited amount of data and the whole thing just didn't work half the time (no calls, texts or data).

Comparing these to Nordics is pretty rough. We go to Finland every couple years and we get a package with SIM card and enough data and calls for the 2 to 3 weeks we stay there with 15 euros. You just go to convenience store to pick it up, no signing anything needed. Just need to bring a phone that's not SIM locked.

I can't decide between early Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath or Bal-Sagoth for something newer

The premium that includes youtube music does not have ads yet. I've heard the cheaper one that doesn't include music has ads, but I can't confirm that.

I don't know about BC, but ON has a bunch of 30km/h school zones that are enforced with speed cameras regardless of time or day. Wife got a ticket from one on Saturday 7pm.

To be fair I don't think these have the time limit part of the sign the one in the article has.

Until the kids grow up a bit and then it can be bonding time. My kids are in early teens now and we have been playing video games together for years now

For fucks sake. Skip the swasticars and go right for the genocide mobiles. Do they come with a civilian strapped to the hood or do you have to supply that yourself?

Probably delicious when cooked right. Never had antelope, but reindeer and moose are probably in the same pallpark and those are both good.

Same, I've also had it waiting on my storage drive for about a decade. My wife also said that it's good, but she will not want to see any of it again lol
