IMO, another worthy project would be preparing for an insurgency in the event of a US invasion. We could establish caches of weapons, food, etc all over the country for use by rebel forces. Boltholes in caves. Train Army personnel in insurgency tactics. Build up distributed drone manufacturing.

There's a lot of pretty important Canadian military projects that could use the extra infusion of cash. Mostly related to the Navy and Coast Guard. We could re-onshore ship-building in Halifax and Vancouver and expand coastal patrols. We need much better icebreakers.

9 billion could be committed quite fast in a pinch, IMO.

Space Engineers right now. The Scrapyard scenario really gets me.

That gives me anxiety on a few levels.

You can get close by way overfermenting regular sourdough. It's very lactic.

Whaaaat injera bread is really good. Not even an acquired taste.

What do you expect us to do, strap bombs to our chests and hit the Peace Arch crossing? We do what is available to us.

I'm roughly in that place but I retain hope that positive change is possible.

 

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

 

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

"The Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's vehicle. made news by "discovering" the General Services Administration uses tapes, and plans to save $1M by switching to something else (disks, or cloud-based storage)."

 

Pretty catchy song.

 

Mostly bugfixes. Cooking UI keyboard updates. Performance tweaks.

 

This is a pretty cool event. $100 for basic, $150 for VIP. We really enjoyed it last year.

I'm having a bit of struggle tanking (prot paladin) Vek'linash. I'm able to hold threat on him fine, but unbalancing strike (-100 defense) rocks me pretty hard, since I keep getting scarabs on me, which eats up all my HS charges and I'm pretty sure that's pushing me into crittable range as well as crushable.

I've taken consecrate off my bars and de-runed HotR for exorcism, but I keep getting the scarabs too, and then get rocked down to 20% health.

Any advice? I've stacked as much +def as I can and am using Greater Stoneshields and armour elixirs as well as the usual suite of ALL THE CONSUMABLES.
