I remember when we were poor and i only had # 7, 8,9 then 13,14,15 and never had the chance to read the entire series... Just recently got dragon ball 1- 20 reading it all over again. the nostalgic feeling
did you know he made #2 of income as an animator last year, #1 was actually ONe Piece... crazy.

My first experience with Akira Toriyama was back in what must have been the early 80's with his Dr. Slump series. And then it was the whole Dragon Ball saga from the early beginnings all the way through to university.
I was just chatting with another HS friend about how we used to read the Dragon Ball volumes -- it was probably around the Android arc -- back in highschool.
Yes, the plot became self repeating, and Dragon Ball turned into Drag-on Ball. But there was no denying that he literally grew up with me all the way from childhood to adulthood.
RIP Toriyama sensei.

There's a comment saying that McLaren shown in the accident was one that was out for a test drive? This at Tofu's dealer?

Quick question ... didn't happen to me but just wondering. Lots of stories of people using bank drafts for big interpersonal purchases on CL/FB, draft turned out to be fake.
So if someone scams you in a used car sale, gives you a counterfeit bank draft and it bounced, can you technically claim from ICBC that your car was 'stolen'? Cuz it kind of was. I mean for big purchases like over $5K ... what form of payment is safe? Anything under $5K ... ok, cash, count the red bills but over $5K, it gets sketch cuz you have to worry about counterfeit 100's.

You'd report it to the RCMP and ICBC. Theft over $5000 too so the dude just picked up a felony.
Bank drafts are safe as long as you're with the person at the bank and the teller hands it to you directly.

no form is 100% safe. Best you can do is mitigate problems.
Learn to find counterfeit cash
Follow the person getting the bank draft all the way to the bank and be there when obtaining the bank draft. Deposit it asap to your own bank.
It gets a little messy when it comes to transfer of title for a car purchase, but there needs to be a minimum level of trust between both parties. How can you transfer funds and transfer the car ownership at the exact same time? One needs to be first since you can't be at a bank and an autobroker at the same time.

Do a lien search and that would be one.
Even bank draft they hold it for 3 days when i said.. DUDE it's a bank draft it's not a check. But they still won't verify.
Ideal thing to do is deposit into their bank which the draft came from.

Revscene,
I have an iPhone XR on the latest iOS 17.x. As of a few weeks ago, my apps such as Gmail, WhatApps etc. no longer notify me of new messages, unless I go into the app. Any solutions to this and ideas what may have caused this? All my notification settings are correct. Thanks in advance.

I.e driving or work focus or sleep mode etc.

Just got back from whistler 
I think my brain is so overstimulated with fun things to do, it feels weird to not do anything.
Someone told me if the activity is free, it's probably not fun
