Unless they're really going meta, it's an origin story.

The actor turned superhero I've been waiting for. I even patterned a Rifts character on him, years ago.

The problem is that not everyone knows their rights as an employee so even when the law forbids something, employers still get away with it. If you're aware then they'll just find a way to fire you, and find someone they can dupe.

And it's wrong that you're put in that position.

These days streaming services have a somewhat interesting view on what "soon" entails. Given the release dates for stuff like "Dr. Who", I would think you're used to it by now ;)

Slated for 2026 and best guess isn't any more accurate than "Summer or Fall", as far as I can find.

In Canada as well. Bad bosses are everywhere.

The "Waller" series was announced sometime back in January, if memory serves.

It shows that Flagg is just as psychopathic as Waller; the person he should really be blaming for the death of his son. The agents are just expendable assets in his pursuit of his personal goals. When he was stopped from just beating Chris to death in detention I guess his focus switched to some...

The concept of forcing workers to go into work when legitimately sick, via massive disincentives, is just plain dumb. It risks causing even more loss of productivity. And then you have the workers who "have a real work ethic", who refuse to stay home even when sick. They are dangerous. One of...

Not that I can remember. There were a Metric Butt-Tonne of Easter Eggs in "Superman", but Grodd didn't seem to be mentioned in any of them. Admittedly, after having checked out several sites for what Easter Eggs there were, most went over my head. "There can be only one!" so yes, Keith is just...

One of the employers who tried the "80 hours over 2 weeks" thing on me also had me on salary as a "manager", so they claimed overtime was unpaid. I pulled out the fact that, under Federal Employment Law, a manager was someone who solely manages the actions of others, not someone who actually...

Unless of course it's the sort of thing that management hopes you'll forget about, but you can use it at the most inopportune time possible ;)

Another trick that some use is to claim that since pay is every 2 weeks it somehow becomes more than 80 hours over two weeks. I've had a couple of employers make that ridiculous claim, over the years.

Yup, saw it coming when they started looking at the doors and what they were looking for, this time. Still, if I don't get to see what's in those damned woods I'm going to be really, really pissed.

I believe that it was the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, that discovered a life sized sign of a police car and an officer standing next to it was as effective a traffic calming measure as actually having a cop and car present. My city currently has over 180 speed cameras (up by something...

Client wanting to send in a laptop for repair because, as I already told them, they're trying to do 16GB worth of active work on a non-upgradable laptop with 8GB. Client asking us to set up a Xerox copier for scan-to-email, when we don't do crap for Xerox. Multiple clients asking for help to...

Unfortunately, this sort of raging is insanely common. It's also virtually attempted murder on a limited access highway.

Typically two quick flashes is the universal trucker signal for "it's OK to move over." Longer, sustained lights might as well be swearing at the top of your lungs.

On the motorcycle board where I'm a mod (Law & Highway Traffic Act section, mostly), I like to remind people that obstructing the flow of traffic is also against the HTA. Look out for 'your' own actions and let the law take care of those of others. Too many wannabe traffic cops on the road and...
