Yeah, a core train line down the Fraser valley would be amazing. Something to connect from Hope all the way to Whistler with high speed commuter rail.
That said, I think we can do multiple things at once. :)
That is my thinking as well and a good point to explicitly mention in a letter to an mla or MP.
If someone drive a truck full of money up to my house, I'd be hard pressed to say no. See Notch and Minecraft.
Doesn't show charge cycles for me, sadly. Samsung A52
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?
Amen. About the only thing that unites Quebec with the rest of Canada is a mutual distaste for the French.
The Anglo-Dutch wars. William of Orange landed troops in London in 1688 and took the throne with Mary II. It's more complicated than that, but it was a whole Thing. Charles II died, leaving James II in charge, but Catholicism was on the way out, and conveniently, William of Orange, a Protestant, was married to Mary II.
The undercurrent of anti-Dutch sentiment started back then still has remnants in the language. See "going Dutch" "Dutch courage" "Dutch treat" "Dutch uncle". :)
I'm mostly teasing. It's more funny than serious.
Have to capture the Dutch-Canadian.
Fun game. Hmm. Poutine van der Windmill.
Nobody does anti Dutch racism quite like the English. Comes of them being conquered by William of Orange back in the day.
It's been a while, so probably new to me. Yay.
I gotta check if Laid Back Camp has a new series!
Let's start with Schengen zone membership and see how we feel after that. The currency would be a hard sell.
Yeah I don't buy 400m either.
Speaking from a university perspective - we've been scaling back our computer labs a fair bit, as there's a lot of people with personal laptops and tablets now. Almost half our former workstations are now eliminated or BYOD.
So a lot of Windows machines are just gone.
No, black bears. Specifically the more wild ones up north but the raccoon ones will also mess you up pretty good.
I'm told that a black bear won't bother to kill you before eating you. They don't give a shit. Once they start eating, they can't be scared off. They'll go for your meatiest bits first. Legs, then abdomen.
I didn't need that picture, and now you have it too.
They'll have to have the cannon custom made.
Interesting comment on a post.
Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.
Read the April Dev Diary to get more info about Episode Five progress, details about the free Visual Enhancements, a recap of the TALES DLC, and more.
Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

Hello players, We have just updated THE LONG DARK to version 2.40, build 152417. This is a Hotfix to THE LONG DARK and THE LONG DARK: SURVIVAL EDITION and contains fixes for issues introduced with our Part Six release. Known Issues The team is currently aware of the following issues in the game. If ...
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.
The final part of the paid expansion pass for Survival Mode, now concludes the robust two-year TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY campaign. Includes free stuff!
After a couple of weeks in the Public Test Branch, with tweaks and adjustments, it's now time to release the latest Valheim update to everyone! Valheim: The Bog Witch features a brand new trader to be found in the Swamps, who sells a bunch of different ingredients and materials for you, useful for b...
As subject. In Gastown, a plane flew over putting out rainbow contrail. Why? O_o
Some festival?
Part Five of the Expansion Pass DLC for THE LONG DARK Survival Mode adds the Cougar, Misery Mode, Sundered Pass Region, and more features & content + bug fixes!
The next part of TALES features the Cougar, Cheat Death, Misery Mode, and a new Region!
Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.
The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.
In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.
Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.
The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.
She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.
Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.
The world is heating up and in the south something is stirring... The creatures of the Ashlands come to life as the biome update is here at last! After three weeks in the Public Test Branch, we believe we have ironed out most of the wrinkles with the update already, but please keep in mind that hotf...
Officially out!
There's a video trailer, too.
⚠️ Note: This update is for the Public Test version of Valheim, and may therefore be unstable. Before we launch this update to the Default version of the game, we want to make sure to have a chance to discover bugs and adjust the balancing, to give you the best game experience possible.
