Fine should be 10x the amount collected over the fees life time, not a bit over a years worth
Wow, you really wanna play the "he says he's a Q anon but, and everyone else says he's a Q anon but, but I don't want to, so we are going to play word games" game.
That ... Sounds like a horrible economy, with a bubble on top of it.
Nope, pass, 0/10, do not want to live there.
Honestly, I just expect it was someone with a cigarette
Just watched the gameplay trailer.
Immediately noticed it looks like there's 10 heroes, and 3 naps...

What an insane law
"Our municipality has determined the best thing to do is install bike lanes, to improve active transport and make an area more liveable"
"No you don't"
God I loved MNC, and SMNC is still my highest played game, a decade out.
Deadlock doesn't have the life and pizzaz that either game had.
Blah, fair enough, that's what I get for posting before my first coffee.
wonder how the per-capita deaths compare to other provinces, such as BC, Ontario and Quebec
Its not clear if the drive was arested. Hopefully he was!
for sure.
It definitly has a Catch 22, because I dont want to see a snap election, I think the conservitives have too much a chance of forming a government, and as rough as the Liberals can be, the conservitives would be far worse... but we can't have the NDP just being unwavering support for the Liberals.
Agreed. I'm hoping this is just a shot across the bow.
Defintly seems to be alluding to breaking the rail strike, which is a big deal.
I really worry this will result in a conservative government, however the Liberals cant take the NDP support for granted.
179 days after murdering someone and fleeing the scene. Talk about a slap on the wrist.
I dont think the driver desrves to be banished from Canada for this, which seems to be a prime factor in the sentencing:
Latimer also pointed out that while Feng has been in Canada for 20 years, as a permanent resident it is very likely she will be subject to a removal order to China once she completes her sentence.
The judge said a prison sentence of six months or more would cause Feng to lose her right to appeal such an order.
"please sign this form for mondays lesson. Please sign this form for tuesdays lesson. Please sign this form for wednesdays lesson"
"how many forms are there?"
"theres two weeks of discussions, so please sign these 14 forms"
"good news, we made sex-ed opt in, and then we removed accesible condoms... and then made AHS semi-private! On an unrelated note, teen pregnancies and STDs have risen drastically, so we need to bring god back into schools!"
I just dont understand bebop, having played like 6 games. melee cannon, with a wind up weapon?
Need to start looking at builds, as i get a feel for the flow of a game.

I want to make my own bed, and have several example pictures. Where do people find plans for their furniture?
Really pissed off that we are fighting inflation, skimpflation and shrinkflation all at the same time.
Buying chocolate granola bars, only to realize after they only "chocolaty" instead really pissed me off!
heyo,
im trying to remember the name of a short story i read about three years ago online.
A girl was sent by her bible thumping parents in to an... AI controlled prison. the AI explains how this is permanent, but they are studying humans.
Its explained how the coffin sized room can simulate any situation, and over time she realizes that she can request drones be sent to real planets, and these drones can have humans forms. Each "prison cell" is either 1 cubic km, or 10 cubic km of support infrastructure to allow them to deliver the perfect VR experience.
Managed to refine my search terms a bit, and by using "AI prison" instead of "vr prison" found it!

New character classes can currently be purchased for $10 each, and an awful lot of fans aren't happy about it.
Yea... buying a $35 "early access" title, to have a large amount of the content locked behind a pay wall... that kills any interest in the game for me.
""Assuming you play only regular matches and not solo (2 points per extract), and each round takes you 10 minutes to extract, and you NEVER DIE, it would take you ~30 hours to get 5 shards," sp00kyemperor calculated in a separate thread. "So if you're a god tier player that extracts every single time, it will still take you 30 hours to unlock one class.""
Anyone find the their e-reader struggles with the Secret Projects?
The epubs have these massive, beautiful drawings which my (1 year old) e-reader struggles with every time i reach the end of the chapter, and then because they are so large they are overly zoomed in.
i'm tempted to run them through something like Libre to see if i can compress the images down to something my ereader can handle.
Just ran into this. Its kinda scary with how good it sounds, its clearly Linus, with a new york accent.
A tentative but less nebulous step toward superconductor-fueled electronics.
The fact that this has been replicated is amazing!
My garage has an AC, which is never used (its so wasteful to heat and cool the room! prefer just to put on a fan) Thinking that if i install a unit like this, i can break this in to two separate 20 amps circuits for outlets, or use the AC if i feel the need. https://www.amazon.ca/Baomain-Universal.../dp/B08HWM7CMR/
Anyone do something similar?
Hey guys!
My friend just finished this mural for our nursery, heavily inspired by the "Merry in Heaven" peice by zzyzzyy. Figured it was too good not to share!
I recently stumbled upon this list of scifi based on Invasive Species, and one that caught my eye was "The Pollinators of Eden" by John Boyd. Unfortunately, finding a physical copy was a challenge, so I opted for the online version on Open Library.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐☆☆
Boyd's novel takes readers on a thought-provoking adventure that blends the essence of the 1960s with a futuristic setting in the year 225x. The retro-futurism aspect adds a fun and nostalgic touch to the narrative, creating an interesting backdrop for the story to unfold.
However, one aspect that stands out is the unusual emphasis on sexuality throughout the book. The main character, Freda Caron, initially presents herself as a tight-laced, career-driven woman with an aversion to physical contact. However, her character undergoes a rather forced transformation, facilitated by the consumption of multiple martinis, leading to her becoming sexually liberated and even engaging in intimate encounters with an orchid, eventually giving birth to a large seed. This character growth feels contrived and lacks a genuine development, appearing more like a checkbox of sexual encounters rather than a meaningful exploration of her personal journey.
The novel also introduces the intriguing theme of the end of the universe, and trying to allow some survival of humanity past this upcoming end, which could have been a fascinating story in its own right. However, it seems to be incorporated primarily to serve as a catalyst for Freda's unusual outcome of giving birth to a seedling, which is portrayed as a positive outcome. This aspect of the narrative feels somewhat forced and detracts from the potential depth that could have been explored in the exploration of the universe's demise.
Overall, "The Pollinators of Eden" is an engaging read, particularly if you're seeking a short novel that transports you to a different era. It offers a blend of retro-futurism and thought-provoking ideas, even though the unusual focus on sexuality and the contrived character growth of Freda may be off-putting for some readers. If you're open to unconventional tales and can look past these quirks, you'll find enough intrigue and originality to make the journey worthwhile.
If you want something which stands up better to the test of time, I recommend Green Patches by Asimov.
The only real limit will be down to your hardware.
I'm still annoyed how this is made. i always assumed it just split it into two base100 connections. the fact that they were too cheap to do even that is... just stupid.
