I hope that in the distant future, humanity will be able to look back at Zionist Israel and remember it as one of the most horrific, brutal, and disgusting regimes that ever existed in human history along with likes of nazi Germany and so on.

And I hope the name of every country and political figure that lined up to gleefully serve them is written alongside.

I have an airtag on my car keys and another hidden on my ebike. The latter is shared with immediate family so they can easily locate me if something goes wrong and I’m unable to contact them.

They’re correct, though.

That’s a good idea.

It’s at the point now where the majority of the results of my web searches are clearly written by AI. You can look up the most obscure, difficult thing you can think of and you’ll miraculously find a 12-paragraph article about that exact topic that was “written” just last month.

And as with most AI “content”, those 12 paragraphs say absolutely nothing. AI is incredibly good at generating an entire novel’s worth of text that doesn’t actually say anything at all.

Honestly? Aloy from the Horizon games. She’s maybe not the most rounded character, but she is a very strong, determined, stubborn, and intelligent person. She knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. I think it also helps that the games don’t really have many choices or multiple endings, which I think was a good design choice. The story belongs to Aloy, not the player.

Also she’s not a protag (sorta, you can play as her) but I would like to give a shoutout to Lae’zel from BG3. I suspect a lot of players haven’t explored her character questline much because of how prickly she is at the beginning, but her character development is extensive and, at times, heart-wrenching. A story of someone getting the entire fabric of their life and soul torn out from under them.

MacOS updates don’t cost money. They’re also completely optional (even security updates) and major OS versions introduce new features.

This. Canadians are understandably angry at the USA right now but they need to accept the reality that we share a border with the US and that we still have to do what we can to maintain somewhat peaceful relations.

And what about from the US? Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation? The fact that,from coast-to-coast, all our conservative politicians are parroting Trumpian talking points and flying down to US to attend meetings with Heritage Foundation members?

Also obligatory reminder that NatPo is owned by PostMedia, an American conglomerate that owns several news agencies that pose as being Canadian.

Just a note that doing this may result in actions being taken against your accounts(s) - especially charge-backs or related actions. A charge back will almost always result in your account being permanently banned and they will ban you if you try to make new ones.

Make sure you research the service you want to cancel and the options you’d like to take to cancel it. If it’s a service you make heavy use of then you need to exercise some caution.

Older games did have less content.

But that’s not a bad thing. It just meant they usually weren’t filled with dozens of hours of busywork, grind, and pointless padding.

I just went and checked on the cost of Mario Kart World out of curiosity. $110CAD for a digital download game for a mobile console. Holy shit. That is absolutely criminal.

Spay n pray

Soon that pile will be so big that we can use it as a barrier to seal us off from the US completely.

I think there is only one store left near me that has them and it’s more of a boutique grocery store rather than a large chain.

Had a similar looking style of toaster oven in the past, although I’m not sure if it was Oster or not. Either way, it had the exact same problem and was legitimately dangerous when the doors were open.

The doors were mechanically linked together so if you bumped a door by mistake then both would slam closed on your hand, hot metal and glass going into your skin. They also had to open 100% (which is rather wide, taking up a lot of space) or they would spring closed and, again, burn you.

One of the most annoying things in the world are American websites that claim to sell internationally but they only offer USD and all provided measurements are in American imperial.

Right up there with online stores that only have boxes for “state” and “zip code” even if the selected country doesn’t use those.

The US has surrendered almost all of their manufacturing power and knowledge, absolutely kneecapped their education system(s), and stripped away most of its incentives and soft power projection. Trump certainly put the final nail in the coffin but the process has been ongoing for decades.

The US doesn’t make anything and a lot of what it does make is bullshit like the entire corn industry. Much of the “value” in the US is speculative and, for lack of a better way of putting it, a complete and utter fantasy. As soon as that house of cards starts to become unstable and the world moves away from the USD then the US economy is going to implode so hard that it would make a black hole blush. They have less and less to bring to the table except their buying power and that is tumbling quickly as their wealth inequality shifts dramatically.

And that’s before you even factor in the self-sabotage with things like the random tariffs every 15 minutes and constant threat of being arrested and thrown into a camp. There are companies in the US that have to do their business outside the US because they can’t feasibly import product into their own country. It really is difficult to express just how badly the US has backed themselves into a corner.

The K980 ditches them in favor of making you install Logi Options Plus to find out. Boo.

Instant e-waste.
