-it offers more retail options. Most of the physical games I have are because it was cheaper somewhere other than the Xbox Store.

-it offers the option to buy and sell used games

-it offers the option to play unpatched

-if/when the associated online stores close down you still have your games

-there are still people out there without modern high-speed internet, or running tight data caps.

Most of the brownies I've had have been somewhat disappointing. I also need to make sure they're not spiked with walnuts due to an allergy.

Cupcakes are cake, but smaller. They can be any kind of cake. The mass-manufactured ones in the plastic clamshell at the grocery store suck, but good ones are excellent.

I'm down for 4 8s or 4 10s any time. Less commuting = less time spent on work wothout being paid.

Sightseeing on a roadtrip, staying a different place each night. I do camping now for budget and flexibility purposes but I'd do a hotel every night if cost and availability were non-issues.

The US has legislated that 50% of new vehicles sold in 2030 must be EVs. Canada has legislated that 100% of new vehicles sold in 2035 must be EVs.

The only way this won't happen is if a regressive conservative government gets elected in either country, but even then, auto manufacturers are already preparing for this and likely will mostly follow through even if the legislative requirements are lifted.

My fear is that the mix of technology improvements and charging infrastructure in rural and northern Canada won't be adequate for everyone to be served by EVs by 2035.

They all lose 40-60% of their range in extreme cold, which is multiple months/year here, and we still have communities served by temporary ice roads with no intention of ever building roads to them. I can't carry extra charge in a jerry can when a battery car won't go far enough.

In this situation, the choices would be to make exceptions to the ban, lift it entirely, or leave people without their only modern form of transportation.

Do think its 99%, or 100% of the worlds governments currently trying asking AI how to destroy other nations?

No. Some of them are more interested in destroying their own nation.

I have a feeling that mosteople killed by "deer" were actually killed by driving drunk, excessive speeding and/or not wearing a seatbelt in an otherwise surviveable wreck.

I like them but I can't eat them anymore, they sit like lead in my stomach.

but I'd be more worried about how stores just expect you to hand your card over to servers where they could easily take all money from your bank/credit by taking a concealed picture/recording of it

Do you live in the 1990s? Because that's the last time I've seen a restaraunt do that. Now they bring you the wireless machine and your card never leaves your hand.

I'm 6 feet, also known as "How tall are you really?"

Fuck tha police

Mine's pretty good but I don't know the exact number.

That said I'm on the tail end of my mortgage so it doesn't really matter anymore. I have no intention to ever borrow money again.

I wouldn't, because why would I? Also I'm pretty sure the first 2 options are the same.

Won't find out for at least another month.

Between the 2 I'd rather just not eat anything TBH

Yes, and you can too.

My sister doesn't care about anyone but herself, our mom bought her 2 different cars that she was supposed to pay her back for and ran both of them into the ground without paying for them. Recently she moved back in and got a job 45 minutes away, since she ran the car into the ground she either needs a ride there and back or just take my mom's car for the day and she's not even making good money. She could have gotten a job 5 minutes away for the same pay, or even more but decided she'd rather be a huge burden on all of us just so she can have a job she likes. Am I wrong for being angry about this? It pisses me off that she didn't take the burden she puts on the rest of us into consideration when getting a job.

How do you deal with people like this?

I tell them to take the bus. Your lack of wheels or poor planning is not my problem.

One. Wore it to my high school grad about 15 years ago. Should probably get it dry cleaned one of these days...

Many hiring types will accomodate if you request an interview or other hiring-related thing outside of normal work hours. They understand that you have a job and want to hire the kind of person who shows up to work reliably.

If that doesn't work, request a day off in advance. If for some reason you can't do that, call in sick the day of.

Nothing quite like some hot ice cream on a hot day.

Those are some expensive fuel injectors. I could do mine for 200 bucks

Cats don't seem to like me, and I can't figure out why.

I can't tell from this picture and I don't recognize her.

I buy the cheapest stuff and improve it, mostly with cheese.

What did he do?

Crotch. Always. Only for jeans though, more flexible pants like sweats don't have that issue.

That

Seems odd though that I have underwear that has lasted me 10-15 years with no holes, yet just about every pair of jeans has a hole in the crotch after just a couple of years.

Where can I get some of this eternal underwear? Mine gets holes in the crotch at a similar rate to my jeans.

Cool. I've been up to Nunavut before (fishing) and it's like being on the moon. Driving all of the way up to the ocean would be very interesting. The way you phrased that I assume you went further than Hudson Bay?

Alaska highway through Northern BC/Yukon, Kondike Highway Whitehorse to Dawson City, Dempster Highway (unpaved) Dawson City to Tuktoyaktuk. ~11000 km round trip from my home.

Drove all the way to arctic ocean in northern Canada this past summer. Pretty epic trip.

I just don't care. The world's number one producer of some shitty FPS and literally nothing else might be bought by a company that doesn't really keep their games exclusive anymore. Oh no, what will do?

Maybe windshields are designed differently now?

For aerodynamics, car windsheilds are angled much closer to horizontal now and as a result, bugs are more likely to whisked up and over the vehicle.

Summer insects are gone too :(

We have at least as many bugs in the summer as we always have. In fact, with invasive species I think we have more.

baltoboulbobbi posted...

Remember when you couldn't open a window on a warm summer night without getting invaded by bugs?
Remember when your parents drove you somewhere and bugs kept splatting on the windshield?
They're gone man, they're gone...

This happens every year. It's called winter.

It'll travel between Calgary and the province where Calgary is located?

I still kind of want to live life without a phone.

I'm not sure I'll ever get wiser at this point.

Bought one 8 years ago, and if I had the choice I'd never drive automatic again.

Aside from giving more control, I find it to be a more enjoyable experience to drive.

What's irresponsible is going out to eat when you know you have a deadly allergy, or if your child has a deadly allergy.

And it's borderline criminal that people would put someone's life in someone else's hand.

It's like going to someone for support for suicide, or threatening to commit suicide unless someone does something.

It's selfish.

You are literally putting you/or someone else's life in the hands of the staff and management. I would not want to be held liable for the company or your life.

If I was an owner or manager of an establishment, I would tell people with deadly allergies to go somewhere else, because I DO NOT want to be responsible for someone else's life. Fuck that!

You would also have to not put antifreeze or anthrax in their food, and take care to keep the rat poison (that all food service establishments are required to have) out of the food.

This is why restaurants are generally run by people who give a fuck about the wellbeing of others, and are not run by you.

Any restaurant that regularly cross-contaminates ingredients badly enough to make anyone but the .0001% of most serious allergies sick has such terrible quality control and sanitation practices that I wouldn't want to eat there anyway.

You can't run a restaurant kitchen like a kitchen at home where something falls and gets a bit of dirt on it but you throw it back in the pan anyway because you know you're not personally going to die from that particular bit of dirt.

It's cold here and I had to do a quick fix on my furnace, but we're used to it.

We naturally get brutal winters where I live, so it's nothing we're not prepared for. I pity all the poor bastards out there that don't have a snowblower or a plow. Shoveling snow for 2-3 hours is a special kind of misery.

Some of us call it exercise.

Maybe we can get another Midnight Club, and GTA6 will happen within our lifetimes? I'd be ok with that.

I just don't order things that I'm allergic to (my allergy is not life-threatening).

They're too busy giving up trying to learn how the game works and quitting out to some freeplay MOBA in the middle of their first session of any real game to even think about us.

Why do people call shoes "sneakers"?

Forza Motorsport 4 and Grand Theft Auto V.

A great game whose sequels never quite lived up to it's excellence, and a good game that didn't come close to the greatness of it's predecessor.
