  1. Not a billionaire.
  2. I've seen no indication he is carbon neutral or that he makes large green infrastructure investments.

Well, also that being bigger means you're less vulnerable to smoke or toxic has inhalation, which is what kills most people.

Pop rep wouldn't have changed much for NDP/Con numbers.

STV, though, would have been an absolute gamechanger

I don't understand the point of making a coin that has ~$3500 worth of gold in it, and then giving it an official face value of $50.

Even big singleplayer games can be fun. I liked being involved in the early days of BG3’s release, for example. But then again, no mans sky and cyberpunk sucked

There was a time where the fact that launch meant a high player count, big community energy, and lack of hyper-optimized strategies minmaxxing the fun out of a game was sufficient reason to get it at launch.

But given how often modern launches are bungled, even that is not always true

You are telling me that statistically speaking, a store is likely to be crashing into within 3 years of its most recent crash

If the error is hidden well, yes. Close-reading a text and cross referencing everything it says takes MUCH longer than writing a piece you know is accurate to begin with

The next update will fix everything, just need this one hotfix and everything will be solved, just wait.

Just one more update, okay? Just one more. One update. Just one.

I take it you've never been on a job site, because there is a TON of infrastructure and protocol that cranes and crane operators have to follow to make sure everything is as safe as possible.

You need to have extensive training to be allowed to do overhead materials handling, the ground conditions need to be thoroughly checked, the job site needs to be planned and laid out, in general there are a ton of constraints and checks to make sure that there is virtually zero risk that a random person could accidentally walk into a danger zone and get hurt.

That's pretty much the exact opposite as with cars. Pretty much every parking lot I have ever been to is front-loading, which REQUIRES that pedestrians have to cross the main driving path to get to their destination and there is very little training and certification required of drivers compared to crane operators.

It also takes like 10 minutes of inhaling chloroform for it to knock you out like that

 

Hi Dads! Hoping to be joining your ranks later this year and my wife and I are working on the registry for the shower (and just in general working on a checklist). Care to share any hot tips, product recommendations, brands, or anything of the sort?
