I don't think that's a fair comparison. In the early days of DVD, VHS was not available as a new release sale but went for rental first. Consumers were not used to being able to own a movie when it came out to the home market. So a $25+ DVD had a different value back then, because it was the...
A habit I have is putting several (5-10) empty bags in the can before putting in a new bag. That way there are already bags there when the next person empties the can.
I guess you should tell all the truck drivers at the truck stops... Most truckers leave their rigs on all the time, except for refuelling. At my summer job, I drove a pick-up which was left on all day. Diesels can idle until the fuel runs out. But yeah, I agree with your opinion. I sometimes...
I think what you are getting at is the idea of the "short century," which started after WWI ended and ended after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Yes, technically a century is a hundred years. But historians do weird things.... Caleb
There is plenty to see in Munich.(München) You should do the walking tour to see all the land marks like the Frauenkirche. (The tallest building in Munich- no skyscrapers allowed) Make sure to visit the Konzentrationslager Gedenkestätte(Concentration Camp Memorial) in Dachau.(a short train ride)...
It should be mentioned that the air suspension system is optional. But that is decent clearance. This car is pretty cool. But does anybody know if the 313 hp V10 Turbo Diesel will be available in North America? It has 550 lb-ft of torque... Caleb
I thought boxing day is named such because people used to give their mailman a gift on the day after Christmas, since no mail came on Christmas day. Could be wrong, though. No boxing day shopping for me... My argument is that you may be able to get deals, but that you just end up spending...
Consider finding a used or rebuilt tranny at a junkyard and taking it to the Automative class at your local high school for them to put in. They can do the brakes easily too. (Unless I'm missing something, like your brakes are *really* hooped, or used tranny are very rare) Caleb
I'm another casual paintball fan. I go just a few times a year. I always rent, although I have my own mask. Does it hurt? Depends on what you consider painful. Getting hit on, say the back, hurts about as much as bashing your knuckles hard. As in: it hurts for a few second, and then will be...
You should always be able to get a few hundred U.S. bucks for any running vehicle. If it just needs a clutch to run, fix that yourself(Assuming you are handy). My friend has a 86 Tercel that he replaced the clutch on for under $100 CDN!!!! It doesn't matter how ugly the car is. Someone will...
Michael was there one of these LED screens for English and another for French? Or did they share? Was there no subtitles on any films, then? This seems quite interesting for fans of foreign cinema. I would love to see more foreign films come into the local theatres. I can see why this...
17. My first real girlfriend, who was 15. Haven't had a girlfriend or a kiss since that girlfriend, and that was over three years ago. Oh well, no rush, I guess... Caleb
Well, I'm a soon-to-be "poor student," living at home. I have no debts and few monthly bills. However, I admit I have a bit of a money problem. The only time I ever borrow money is off my parents. If I have money in my wallet I find it hard to *not* buy a DVD or two, even though I don't need...
Although I live 20 minutes from a border crossing, I have only been to one: Washington. I would like to go to Colorado and Utah someday.(Mountain biking) Caleb Penner
Well, I work for the same company as a cook in two pizzerias. My "commute" is either 9 or 17 minutes one way. On bike! with the wind against me. I don't think I would ever drive 175 km everyday. Caleb Penner
Well, most people call me Kay-leb or Kay-lub. In German I'm called Kah-lep. In French I'm Kah-leb. Am I the only Caleb (or Kaleb) on the Forum? Caleb Penner
Thanks. I'll try to rent these sometime. I thought of Starwars, but it doesn't count because they aren't "Real" languages. I mean Klingon is more of a language than "Huttese" or R2's language. Caleb Penner
Thanks guys. Bruce, I'm only looking for movies with multi-languages. It doesn't matter which languages, English doesn't even have to be one of them. Hey, I just thought of another one: Babette's Feast, in Danish and a little French. Caleb Penner
Recently, I've become more interested in other languages.(than English) Could you recommend to me some movies worth seeing that are in multiple languages within the same movie? Examples include: The Bourne Identity: A little bit of French and German. The Red Violin: Lots of French...
I've absolutely never heard African-Canadian said, or Italian-Canadian, or German-Canadian, and I would never ever say any of those.
IMO:
I'm Canadian first, skin colour second. I don't define my cultural identity by my skin colour. I think that Canada is a land of immigrants. I'm a 3rd...
