He was a synonym for rich guy for awhile. And was even on WWE. So, depends how you define cool.
His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don't think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.
Crown Royal. It's a nice little whisky, especially for its price point.
I've also heard good things about BRBN (bourbon style whisky) by Okanagan Spirits distillery.
That's actually super cool! (Admittedly, one of my favourite youtube channels is practical engineering so I am not an authority on actual coolness.)
Honestly, carefully looking on marketplace, being willing to travel to the bougie end of town got me a high end microwave for cheapish and I'm never ever going back.
Sensor reheat, just heats my damn food. Frozen food setting, hell yeah, all thawed perfectly.
The rich live better and I'm fine enjoying their leavings.
Heya! Just wanted to say thanks. I tried Qobuz but had a couple of issues. Just tried Deezer and it's been fantastic, works with everything and my tiny little obscure bands are all there! It's like catching up with old friends I haven't seen in far too long.
Thanks again!
There's been a significant, internationally tested drop in functional literacy skills in the last decade or so.
I agreed to sub for a friend's soccer team despite having not played for a decade or so.
Fast forward a decade: I captain a team, play on two others, have made a boatload of awesome friends and am in better shape than I've ever been (which is a weird thing to say as an almost 40 year old.)
Christ, this sounds like an onion article.
Related story, basically the hardest I laughed during covid.
Being a good Vancouverite, when those convoy fucks wanted to parade around and honk at hospitals, hundreds or thousands of us with bikes got in their way and kept them away from the hospitals.
Okay, so we're blocking an arterial and some convoy fuck is screaming at us about how, in his words, "we've got to protest smarter." He then finally realizes we have been politely letting non convoy cars through the lane next to him, so floors the accelerator and aims for that lane. But, he didn't shoulder check and slammed right into a car in that lane in front of a cop. So for the next however long we got to point and laugh while advising him about the merits of shoulder checking and how he needed to drive smarter.
Gotta love when an asshole causes a 100% fault car crash with no injuries.
I wonder if one of you is switching the words around from dead hang?
A dead hang is when you hold yourself from a chinup bar.
I can't speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that's the best way to expand.
Oh, I think you're completely correct in a world where time is infinite. I just... I'd love to take up linux as a hobby and all the hours that entails but I have a lot of hobbies already. There are so mamy things I want to read before I die and fighting through Linux technical manuals to get my weird triple monitor/tv/receiver set up correctly, well, that isn't really up there in my top 50 life priorities.
Thank you! I will hopefully not have to take you up on this offer but I have it saved and already appreciate it!
Good to know! Being a Canadian, I'm pretty determined to transfer over to linux before Microsoft stops supporting windows 10 but have been pretty intimidated by various horror stories etc.
The central bank's GDPNow tracker of incoming metrics is indicating that gross domestic product is on pace to shrink by 1.5%.
Meta is one of the highest performing American stocks and 98% of their revenue is advertising. Make it harder and strike a blow for Canada!
The guide is easy enough that parents, grandparents and other non tech types should be fine with it.
TSN is a Canadian company owned by Bell while Sportsnet is owned by Rogers, both of which are Canadian companies.
For any thinking "I'm not buying anything, the app is free!" Yes, the apps are free, we are the product and more app users = more profit.
(Admittedly, ESPN has a 30% stake in the parent company.)
ESPN is owned by Disney, TheScore was Canadian but was recently bought by an American company.
Reality: On 4 February 1938 a wave of strikes began by dock workers in Hawaii demanding equal pay with dockers on the West Coast of the United States, and a union shop. The strike ended with police shooting 50 unarmed workers in the Hilo massacre. This is a history of the events: https://libcom.org/history/hilo-massacre-1938

Donald wants us isolated, each country standing up to a giant by ourselves. And for some products, there aren't going to be affordable Canadian substitutes. But, if we look around the globe, maybe there are more?
I couldn't help but think this after so many kind folks pointed me to Deezer and other Tidal alternatives that aren't Canadian but at least aren't American owned. Personally, my preferences are Canada first, anywhere else non American second, and then ugh... I imagine others feel similar?
When Neil Young asked us to switch to Tidal, I went along and loved that it paid the artists 10x more per stream.
But Tidal is American owned, spotify isn't...
I'm struggling on this one, a lot of the lil punk bands I love could really use the revenue but, y'know, trade war etc.
Anyone have any thoughts to assuage a guilty conscience on this one?
Every Oscars season this comes up and bothers the heck out of me. There's always indignant lists of movies/people who were "snubbed." And I get it, the internet is fueled by clicks and engagement which are fueled by anger but... To call these "snubs" is to either misunderstand the word snub or to misunderstand the voting process.
A snub implies a deliberate rejection. As if the Academy had a big meeting and said "screw you, Janet!" Which would be amazing but ain't how the voting happens. It's actually a ranked choice ballot voting system, which is very cool but also rewards strong feelings rather than consensus middle of the road picks.
And almost every time you read a snub article, they're not talking "hey this person should win!" It's usually "well, I think they're better than the worst two slots." Which, fair but those were probably big swings with some strong supporters, which are rewarded in a ranked choice system!
But beyond that, even in a two party contest, no one would say the United States snubbed Kamala Harris.
I dunno, just some thoughts, this seemed an appropriate place to share them. Thoughts? What am I getting wrong?
Apologies if the wrong community, if there's a better suited one, please point me to it!
But, I figure we all buy USB-C cables, and being a progressive group of folks maybe someone has a suggestion so I cause slightly less waste pollution and waste? Here's hoping!
Edit: Allrighty, apparently I'm just rough on all my usb cables OR you have all teamed up to prank me.
It's a little light on the genre aspect (though there's a lot of blood a couple of times) but it's a funny, delightful and occasionally touching movie about a new Finnish band that plays "symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan Fennoscandian metal."
PLUS there is a sequel coming out sometime. Usually I don't like them but an indie movie this good deserves one.
There's no wrong time; role play, dirty talk or aesthetic comparisons!
Just picturing an alien archaeologist "so, as they stopped being crippled by polio or losing their lives building railroads, they complained about having to wash the dishes?"
People also love surprises. These two bits of social insight can be combined to great effect.
