I struggle to see how being held accountable is a bad thing. Even in public office.

Nobody should be above the law.

Yeah, that's what made me get premium. Even before the adblocker crackdown, the prospect of supporting creators and being able to ditch Spotify's horrible artist compensation model made it a simple choice.

I haven't seen Morrowind's mentioned, but some of its side quests are very grey in their morality, in ways that later Bethesda games aren't. Definitely recommend if you want to make choices that keep you wondering if you actually did the right thing, and whether it was in character with your character.

But then again, that goes for the whole story. There's just enough hints and mentions throughout to make you wonder if you actually are the chosen one or just someone stumbling their way through the game, luckily having events line up with a prophecy.

It's hard to imagine Bethesda ever attempting something so ambiguous again.

Yeah, totally unrelated. Just like the large amount of people falling out of windows in Russia. And all the people that got poisoned or got to drink Polonium tea. All completely unrelated accidents.

We don't know for sure, but that's what this meme is playing on.

Prigozhin marched on Moscow despite Putin's warning to retaliate against any rebellion, then stopped his advance after talking to Lukashenko and getting offered amnesty in Belarus.

Gee, if only we saw that coming from several miles away. Seriously though, why is Alberta so hell bent on destroying its public health care? I know politicians are stoking the fire and looking to gain from it, but why does the public keep electing these clowns that will see them worse off with more expensive health care? VS, you know, funding public health care properly?

I haven't seen it mentioned, so let me say: Outerwear. Especially if you are into snow sports, the difference between quality outerwear and cheap garbage is not just getting wet sooner. It could very well save your life if you're wearing something that will keep you dry while maintaining breathability. And nothing beats lifetime no questions asked warranty where you just hand it in and it gets repaired for you. In the long term this saves a decent penny whil also reducing your environmental impact

Same goes for base and mid layers. Cotton will kill you, and lots of cheap synthetics don't breathe well. Spend money or higher end synthetics or merino.

Lastly, don't get cheap goggles from Amazon or eBay. Heck, don't get the cheapest models from even more reputable brands. You will want your goggle lenses to provide good UVA and UVB protection, while also providing contrast enhancing features like polarization and very importantly: fog resistance. You will not have a good time if you can't see where you're going. I can't stress enough how big of a difference visibility makes for your enjoyment and safety.

The difference between my Zojirushi and the Black and Decker we had prior is indescribable. My home made bread suddenly wasn't dry from the middle down and would last without losing freshness for a whole day extra. With the same ingredients. It's absolutely worth it to buy a quality bread maker.

I don't think it was ever available outside of Europe, but it had some major advantages such as a completely bonkers 8 hours run time per tape, perfect still images without distortion, and the ability to reverse or fast forward without the artifacts you'd see on VHS and Betamax.

What about Video 2000? The audio quality was so much better that when we finally switched to a VHS player I thought there was something wrong with the cable connecting it to the TV.

Exactly what I was referring to actually.
