Anyone else been getting this recently? I just get an "Insecure Connection" block page when I try to go to SpaceBattles in the past few hours.

The Straight Dope has published its final column.

(I was going to mention this on the site's All The Tropes page, but it doesn't have an ATT page...)

English is my second language (spanish is my primary), and I feel that I could do a better job at communicating and building arguments in general than what I have been doing (which is building it in spanish on Notepad, then translating). Are there any books out there you could recommend to me to work on this?

Just noticed the notice. Many Happy Returns!

Jogger accidentally crosses U.S. border from B.C., gets detained for 2 weeks

Canada considering changing the legal definition of "beer"

Quote:No longer would beer be required to "possess the aroma, taste and character commonly attributed to beer" or be categorized into different styles or types like ale, stout, porter and malt liquor. Instead, officials are proposing to set limits on sugar content and simplify language around the use of additives that would set define what is a beer.

Added to that would a wider list of herbs and spices among other ingredients that can be used in the brewing process.

So, my family is considering relocating to the New England Coast area, as my brother is pretty well established in Boston and my parents want to spend their remaining active years in that area with both of their children close at hand. So if this deal goes through, I'm likely to end up somewhere in the area between Boston MA and Portsmouth NH. Any of us live in that region, got some time to discuss it?
