Parental leave is 40 weeks in Canada, which can be shared between the two parents. That is paid at 55% of the household income.
Individual contracts can be more, of course, but not less.
I’ve never taken it, so I don’t know the details.

The database app in LibreOffice, based on the Firebird database engine, can do all that.
I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.
Very happy with them.
I have the set of Infocom text adventure games. I think the earliest ones came out in about 1981 or 82. I still fire one up now and then for a nostalgia hit. I bought a few when they came out, but couldn’t afford more.
You can play some of them online, in your browser. Of course there are thousands of text adventure games (a.k.a. interactive fiction) available for free. Definitely worth checking out! And look at Inform, a language and IDE for creating these games by using more or less standard English.
To protect against piracy, most of these games required physical objects that were included in the game box. They are known as feelies. There are plenty of places on the web where you can find all the feelings you need.
A couple of years ago, Canada required all carriers to cell unlocked phones, or allow them to be unlocked for free. Nothing bad has happened because of that. Our cell phone plans are still too expensive, and the companies are wildly profitable.
Are you saying “Whatabout…”?
instead of death
Unless you count birds that abandon their nests, and other animals that flee their homes. Or the heavy metals and other chemicals that are added to the environment. Or the significant increases in particulate matter in the air.
Corned beef seems to have originated in Ireland and Scotland, but was commonly used throughout the British Empire for the past 400 years. I assume the cooking and salting process makes it last much longer without going bad, which would make sense for long voyages.
They also practiced polygamy, so that rich and influential men would have multiple wives and poor men would have none. Imagine the rage when you were a Shepherd tending someone else’s flocks, knowing that you will never have a wife or family.
It makes sense to have occasional wars with neighboring tribes so that excess males can be removed from the system.
POST means Power On Self-Test. All motherboards will run some diagnostics and detect basic problems (e.g. missing RAM, no boot media).
If the motherboard beeps, you can look up the motherboard and see what the number of beeps means.
I agree. The section on web browsers mentioned that Nicola Pellow joined a team of 19 developers at CERN. It doesn’t say that she was the only woman on the team, but since she was singled out that is the way I interpreted it.
It’s a bit hard to say that web browsers would not have existed if one out of 20 team members was not there.
Sounds like you should look at a few years of https://thedailywtf.com entries. Enough to make the staunchest man (or woman) weep.
But this ignores all the cultures where women’s breasts are not considered sexually. I lived in Africa, and it was actually a big adjustment for me, even though the local people’s attitudes were changing due to Western media. 25 years of Canadian upbringing made it hard not to look when women or teenage girls took off their shirts. But that was my problem, not theirs.
And not just Africa. In rural Japan japan, before WWII, women were often topless.
It’s not really necessary to include indexOf()
twice in the “Additional Methods” section.
I don’t see much points in your page, when something like MDN is available, but I also feel stupid because I didn’t know that the forEach()
method existed, and it appears that it is ancient!
I had a birthday and thought I was 28 for about 6 months, until my younger brother had a birthday and said that he was 27. I know that I am 2 years older than him, so I said that he had made a mistake.
It turns out that I had my own age wrong for those 6 months.
She was thrashing around. Carrying her could easily have resulted in injuries to her or to them.
So they were arresting her and she refused to come with then, so they dragged her. I fall to see the brutality.
We have ways of making you talk: a historian and a stand-up comedian explore the nooks and crannies is WWII. Insightful and entertaining. I’m still enjoying it after 600 episodes.
page load
It would be fine if they only loaded a partial page so that it will render in my browser quicker.
However, what usually happens is that the entire page loads, then an overlay pops up to get me to register or pay, or whatever.
Being a web developer, it’s not hard for me to inspect the page and remove the overlay so I can read everything, but it is an annoyance.
It was a novel written in the 1970s about the US invading Canada to get our oil supplies. It was called Exxoneration.
If I remember it correctly, the Canadians were able to successfully resist over the long term.
