Tissue paper thin skin shows how blue the blood is. These are the intellectual Hapsburgs.

For sure. It was great. I’ve played every entry in the series and those 2 are the memorable ones.

Invisible war was awful but the hellfire boltcaster was immensely fun to use on the Templars lol.

Cool story, homes.

In Victoria we reduced multiple 2 lane roadways to one lane, installed concrete barriers to physically separate bike from road, added bike only crossing lights. Multiple tens of kilometers donated to cyclists who…

still fucking ride all over the goddamn place.

I used to sympathize. I ride a one wheel. It’s categorically more sketchy than a bike. I never make my risk management anyone else’s problem by my choice of route. It’s a social contract and sadly the cyclist demographic seems to feel they are excluded as signatories. Unfortunately physics keeps pointedly disagreeing with them.

I am curious as to what others think.

Honestly, I think that’s alot of hoops to jump through and a whole bunch of rationalization to…watch American cultural exports.

When I cut the cord, it was right after the election. I bought a beat up old antique suitcase for 25$ and built a synthesizer out of it (the modules are sourced from local shops, or built in workshops I went to, or made by a Canadian company, Omnitone). Then I got a cheap bass guitar and started teaching myself how to play.

Now I jam out every evening.

Know what?

It’s a metric ton more entertaining than any episode of survivor I’ve ever seen. As a bonus, I’m not dulling my senses with a chemical bath of Americanisms.

Alberta: the most American-seeming province!

I picked up a Buphalo stainless steel filer and love it. They claim to be Canadian, but I’m not an investigative journalist. If in fact it’s maple washing, sorry in advance. Great filter tho.

I’m Canadian, so ummm. Yep. Thanks anyhoo.

As the French say, Plus ça change

I’ve never met a child that petty and miserable. He’s fucking subhuman; Homo Stultus.

The difference is they might be able to do it, vs us who alternate between electing virtue signaling, ineffectual center right sheep, and outright fascist, climate change denying monsters.

Geez. Fire whoever hired that guy I guess.

And dig deep. This might go all the way to the top; we might have to clean the whoooole house here.

I generally abstract to docker anything I don’t want to bother with and just have it work.

If I’m working on something that requires lots of back and forth syncing between host and container, I’ll run that on bare metal and have it talk to things in docker.

Ie: working on an app or a website or something in language of choice on framework of choice, but postgres and redis are living in docker. Just the app I’m messing with and it’s direct dependencies run outside.

A much more original way to devalue your currency than the Romans.

May it go to zero.

Huh. Well, we should round-up whatever the sentence they get, once convicted, to the highest thousand.

“Losing Nemo”. A film by conservatives.

Is this like a unihertz but with more steps?

Pretty soon that museum is going to need an Israeli wing…

The anti American one is open source. You need to void your warranty on the American one to install the reacharound mod.

Huh. And here, as a Canadian, I just always wondered why the most obnoxious Americans I’ve ever met had such gigantic heads.

I guess I just thought it was all the bovine growth hormones or something…

I wonder how much progress South Asian countries instead are making

If your basis for taking action on any issue is a dick measuring contest with other nation states, then you are using the same logic as the idiots in the US administration, and it’s terribly flawed as a basis for crafting any favorable outcome. So don’t do that.

I’ll quote myself:

Why should we meet human rights goals that other countries do not? Why drive on this side of the road if another country doesn’t? Why have any arbitrary set of standards AT ALL if we can just toss them out because some other asshole demographic decides they want to shit on the world?

Any net improvement affects the global system. Regardless of the actions of ANY other countries, we owe it to our descendants to act in a way that maximizes their survival and quality of life.
