Toronto police HQ has a licensed lounge. This senior cop was there before a drunk driving crash

"The Executive Officer Lounge Committee oversees the day-to-day administration of the lounge, according to the Toronto Police Service Board. And several police sources told CBC News the service's Senior Officers' Organization — the union which represents senior officers — pays for the alcohol to stock the bar.

Mukherjee says the lounge can fit up to 50 people and has lots of windows, a table, lounge chairs and the fully-stocked bar on one side."

I walk by this place at least once a week and there's a museum at the front. I had no idea there's a bar. Maybe I should go try it before it closes down.

“News” …. Yawn. I was curious what other ‘adult’ products they sold, so I followed the link. No Stormy Daniels bears yet, but the full cast of Ted Lasso is available.

Home co-working: The people creating collaborative workspaces with friends

Though coffee shops and libraries can be great places to gather, some people are working alongside friends in their personal spaces instead.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

I don't even like working at home. Why would it be cool to have other people come work in your home? The whole concept of co-working was your home was some cramped shoe box flat so you needed a bigger place to work and not end up working+eating+sleeping on your one bed.

I hope toilet cleaning duties are shared.

Already knew that was HPV. Unfortunately the vaccine came too late for me but you can have your young ones immunized so they can fellate to their hearts content. Age 12.

I'm not surprised. The worst ones are when I buy something less than $1 and they ask - do you want to donate today? Minimum $2.00 and more options up. Are you daft?

Today I used one where the receipt options were: Print, Print and E-mail, Cancel.

I selected Cancel and it goes all the way back to the beginning. I did it again and realised no receipt is not an option. Oh - I was still asked to donate.

IT worker sues her boss believing 'xx' in email were kisses

She believed his use of the letters in an email asking for more information was sexual harassment.
www.bbc.com

"Can you please complete the following:
The solution us currently used by xx Agris companies and yy Barge lines in corn cargoes in south-north flows in the ???? waterways.
Also, can you remind me of what the balance of the rollout will be and the approx. timing.

Thanks"

"Ms Gasparova, who represented herself, argued the 'xx' referred to kisses, 'yy' to sexual contact and '????' as a coded way of asking 'when she would be ready' to engage in sexual acts."


What the f*ck? Oh wait I shouldn't write that to Ms Gasparova.

The rise of the 'no-wash' movement

There's a growing cohort of people who believe in washing clothes less – or not at all. Matilda Welin talks to the 'no-wash' and 'low-wash' believers.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Travelling from his native Canada to Europe, he brought his jeans for the six-month trip. 'It was a quirk about me that I had these stinky jeans,' he tells BBC Culture. 'They smelled awful.' In Budapest he met his future wife, and the jeans became a character in their relationship. 'My jeans would be in, like, a pile on the floor at the end of the bed," he remembers. 'You walked into the room, you could smell [them]... I was very fortunate that my wife was as interested in me as she was.'

Among the competitors in the Indigo Invitational, now starting its fifth year, more than nine out of 10 persons delay the first wash of their trousers until they have been worn 150 or 200 times, Szabo estimates. 'Some of these pairs, as it's coming up on the end of the year, I wouldn't want to handle up close,' he says. 'They would probably smell wrong.'"

Do they wear underwear? Are those washed? Is the next step a throw back to the medieval ages where people don't bathe for years?

Ye still records music? I thought he runs for the presidency, insults Jews and collaborates with white supremacists these days.

Beyoncé shows blamed for fueling inflation in Sweden

Queen Bey, as she’s known to her legions of fans, is now credited with increasing inflation in the Scandinavian country.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

"And the resulting surge in hotel prices and other costs paid by fans is partly why Sweden's inflation figure only decreased by a less-than-expected 0.2% in May, according to Michael Grahn, chief economist in Sweden for Denmark’s Danske Bank.

'Perhaps all that isn’t just down to her as there are other events taking place, but when you think about what was the cause, she is the prime suspect,'"

Wait till the Swedes get Taylor Swift and Harry Styles.

Soo....accurate. Initial reports said it's popular to toss mobile phones at them so you get a selfie.
