In Canada employees may have a limited expectation of privacy on work computers.

Quoting from this article, which references the same supreme court case as the above article:

Mr. Justice Fish, writing for the majority of the Supreme Court, delineated the following instructive principles:

• Whether at home or in the workplace, computers are reasonably used for personal purpose and contain information that is meaningful, intimate and touching on the user’s biographical core;
• The user may reasonably expect privacy in the information contained on their computer particularly where personal use is permitted or reasonably expected;
• While ownership of the computer and workplace policies are relevant considerations, neither is determinative of a person’s reasonable expectation of privacy;
• The totality of all the circumstances will need to be considered to determine whether privacy is a reasonable expectation in any particular case;
• Workplace policies and practices may diminish an individual’s expectation of privacy in a work computer; however they may not in themselves remove the expectation entirely;
• A reasonable, though diminished expectation of privacy, is nonetheless a reasonable expectation of privacy, protected by s. 8 of the Charter and subject only to state intrusion under the authority of a reasonable law.

Being a long term patient of neurologists (migraines, seizures) and having a wife who works in neurology I tend to believe the doctor she worked with who stated that once you have migraines, all headaches are a migraine clinically. They’re just more or lwwa debilitating based on severity.

Interesting, I’ve always categorized them by whether they go away from standard painkillers or if I need to use rizatriptan. Migraines are much more frequent for me than normal headaches but I still do have ones that go away when I take some tylenol or ibuprofen. I’ve been lucky so far that my migraines almost always go away after 1 rizatriptan, and I’ve never had one make it past a second one.

While it was awesome experience but man, it ate huge chunk of my time.

So much this. I spent so many hours between 2010-2014ish in fleets and on jabber/irc/vent but I just can’t devote that much time to a game these days. Tons of great memories and no regrets.

I’m super lucky to have a couple of close friends who I know I can call on. When my dad was dying of cancer at the end of last year, they both took turns coming over so I had company as a distraction 3-4 nights a week. After he passed they even took time off from their jobs and traveled out of town to his funeral while refusing my attempts to pay for their hotel rooms. I’m eternally grateful for them and I don’t know how I would’ve made it through that without them.
