That’s a different way of saying “TikTok appoints Israeli as its Hate Speech Manager.” IDF service is mandatory.

Home Hardware has mostly left my area. Thankfully, there’s Rona and a local Tim-Br-Mart that is mostly locally owned and operated, so that’s where I get most stuff.

When I’m yelling, it’s usually for more than a nickelback.

First Apple has to figure out how to hold on to its DS talent.

I see it like being overtaken on the highway — there are very few reasons for aliens to expend the energy needed to physically interact with us in the first place. And the reasons to do such a thing include:

1. Halt our expansion into the universe because of our penchant for destruction
2. Claim our planet for their own after destroying theirs
3. Extract our resources
4. ???

After expending the energy and resources to get into Earth’s orbit, it’s probably a lot more efficient to subjugate or destroy the dominant life form than to try and figure out how to communicate with it to achieve the above objectives.

Back to the highway analogy: most aliens wouldn’t want war with us… but we’re unlikely to ever cross paths with such beings in this vast universe, due to either time or distance.

Unlike other classifications of people, it’s relatively easy to create new rich people. Isn’t that what these people think the American Dream is all about? Is this group of rich people opposed to the American Dream?

I don’t think that line will pull any weight with Trump? At least not in the direction they want….

So the Song of Wade has been reinterpreted by Dr. Wade….

I don’t know how Duckstation does it, but Retroarch cores (Beetle/Mednafen and PCSX) support widescreen?

He’s obviously looking to leave “journalism” for a career in insurance.

“I biked over this bridge a couple times in 1990 when I was in university, and then I found better routes. Since then, I’ve walked over the bridge hundreds and hundreds of times, and I would say, people call me brave. When I talk to other people, they’ve basically walked or biked over the bridge once because it was terrifying,”

I’ve walked, biked and run across Granville, Burrard, Oak, Knight, Queensborough and Patullo bridges. I’d list Patullo as the scariest, followed by Granville and then Knight.

Of course, Patullo’s getting completely replaced, so hopefully this is the change that’s needed.

I do wonder if the new layout for vehicle traffic over the Granville bridge will improve traffic flow; it puts the bottlenecks in saner places where they won’t disrupt local traffic as much.

So avoid beaches… between 10:30 and 1:30 tonight.
