Lots of answers here, but let me give you an alternate viewpoint, from the NHL.
“Fuck you for caring about the sport, now give us some more fucking money! You want stats, hire a statistician. Except you can’t because you’re a POOR FUCKER!”
“Now shut up and buy another watery $35 beer.”
I go the other direction. I HATE having a cord tethering my mouse, getting caught and moving after I take my hand off.
Batteries aren’t a problem. I get two days warning before the AA on my mouse actually dies.
But when I travel, I take a wired mouse.
My son is a serious online gamer, and loves his ultralight, wired mouse. Maybe if you’re that serious, it’s worth it.
I’ve never had a problem with wireless. I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now, and my Logitech m720 is flawless. I’ve had a series of Logi mice, and if this gets discontinued I’ll buy a dozen to get me into my 90s.
The technology is entirely mature now. I’m not really convinced that even hardcore gamers can honestly tell the difference.
Oh no!
Anyway…
Came here to say verdigris. Not disappointed that someone beat me to it.
It’s just a lovely word.
What a crazy random happenstance!
Harper is showing face to make Kenney’s hypocritical federalism seem convincing.
He is ONLY showing his young-earth-creationist, IDF-leading face to get Jason “separatist-light” Kenney in power.
Yes.
Yes yes yes. Don’t hesitste, don’t second guess yourself, don’t make excuses. Go.
When us old people say ‘you only regret the opportunities you missed out on,’ this is exactly the sort of thing we’re talking about.
Do it!
A few years ago I read and enjoyed Miriam Toews’ “A Complicated Kundness.”
For sci-fi Comedy, Spider Robinson comes to mind.
Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s rated for ~75C continuous exposure. Also, the oversize washer takes most of the strain off of the bracket.
The lesson is that a few years of hardship is worth it to eliminate our dependency on a country that elects a spoiled four year old in a constant tantrum.
And of course, Facebook is platforming them.
and so many more.
Yeah, but that’s just fodder for him blaming us for every seat they lose.
Already happening. Where do you think the seppies are getting their funding and propaganda?
(Hint: It’s the Atlas Network, the Heritage Foundation, and numerous Republicans.)
The Big Three news outlets in Canada pretty much ignored this story until the Kamloops local paper and social media picked it up. Now they’re all over it, pretending they were there first.
And they’re all missing the crucial point.
Second Sons are working very hard to stick to the rule of law, while instilling fear. They’re showing up in groups like this in smaller communities. They’re not in Calgary or Toronto or Vancouver, they’re north of Edmonton, or Orillia or Millarville.
They show up, dress to intimidate, act to intimidate, but don’t actually threaten. They post overt dogwhistle slogans, “Je me souviens d’un Quebec blanc” or “Indian trucks kill canucks”) which they could plausibly explain away as something else, if forced to stand on trial.
They’re getting bolder, which means they’re going to try to goad their victims into acting. They’ll obey the RCMP or local police (if the force is sufficient) without hesitation because as long as they keep showing up, as long as they keep scaring people, as long as they are able to avoid consequences for their actions, they’ll be able to hurt some people and recruit others.
They need to be driven out by the people every time they show their…well not faces, but cowardly masks. They need to be not shot or injured, but maybe detained until the police can unmask and identify them by name.
We need to publish their names. We need (and I can’t believe I would ever say this) to doxx them - to make them fear for their lives if they keep threatening society.
We need to break the back of their movement, and the media isn’t helping one goddamn bit.
Absolutely not!
But I love my Ibanez, and a 5 string fretless is pretty much my dream bass.
Well, they’ve got ICE thugs kidnapping people off the streets.
But it probably won’t count as an invasion or war until civil war breaks out.
So…March?
Canada has Hutterites and Mennonites. I think there are a few Anabaptist sects still in Germany as well, but that’s about it.
Around here they tend to be honest and hard working, but extremely insular and taciturn. They’ll sell you produce. They won’t be your friend.
And of course, their entire communities and lives are centred around the church.
Miriam Toew’s “A Complicated Kindness” was a great story about a teen growing up in a Manitoba Mennonite colony.
Griffols shouldn’t be allowed to operate in Canada, period.
Grow up.
Reply to the RSVP with a polite “unable to attend.”
Tell your coworkers “I am unable to attend.”
Anyone who asks more than that deserves a slap and a discussion with HR.
Fuck 'em. It’s your life. Live it.
