Just getting the "G"s now, and I'll tell you my own experience is quite like what everyone is describing.  I've made a few great friends, people I would love to spend time with going forward, and there are plenty of people I hope I never encounter again.  Yes there were cliques, yes people...

Hah!  Brilliant!

Oh good grief. October.  Breast Cancer awareness month. I get it, the concept is humorous, but too many "awareness" causes and they all start to get watered down.

Very interesting developing technology for those injured far from medical facilities or uanble to be extracted for lengthy periods.  Sparks notes version: A UK company developing an expanding foam to be injected into body cavities to limit internal bleeding until they can reach surgical...

That being said, of course safety SHOULD be a big concern for everyone, I know in my hometown of Calgary there has been a fair amount of news of late over the training exercise where Cpl. Baker was killed in Afghanistan in 2010.  This isn't really the thread to go into such things, but safety...

Currently in the oilfield on a large site, on my way into the military, I can only imagine what the safety world is like when not kept in check by the "we're here to make a lot of money don't get too mouthy" higher up crowds.

Hah!  now this is funny.  Interesting to think about too on the heels of announcements of possible loosening of various restrictions and prohibitions on firearms ownership.

It's certainly a point that comes up a lot, I suppose you can blame hollywood for that one too with so many tales of young love in the ranks and buddy jumps in front of bullets for his lady love, so romantic. I had a lot more written on the subject, but figured I was getting quite out of my...

It's always North to South.. If the nothern parts of BC, AB, and SK were to form a nice little (okay it's still pretty big) rectangle you would have a North American Saudi Arabia.  Small population, GOBS of oil money, but also the added bonus of lots of fresh water and forestry (with a little...

True enough, atleast a good portion of that though is simply doing damage to themselves.

I would imagine there must be some fairly hefty repercussions possible for impersonating the queen or any other member of the royal family.. But that would be UK law, possibly not Australia.

Now you're just being dramatic. She forwarded the phone call to the department where Kate was, anyone who sais they could see this coming are full of it. A call was made, a person has died, instantly the caller is made the devil without any further information.  It's a sad and terrible series of...

Certainly.  I'll be the first to admit I know absolutely nothing of her personality, how something like this could affect her based on present circumstances, personality, and culture.  The original point was that "these things go too far", and my point is that it's suprising that this sort of...

As opposed to death with turns that could into an absolute?  I suppose if she was for sure being fired over the whole ordeal that adds quite a lot of seriousness, but that's not clear.  Radio pranks and most of their "competitions" are ridiculous, but it's still a suprising escalation.

While it's terrible something like this occured over a radio phone hoax..  The details seem incredibly minor to warrant a suicide.  It's not as if the radio hoax had her selling posessions, divorcing her husband, hating on her family, or anything like that.  She gave patient information to whom...
