I was taught that Canada has 10 provinces and two territories. That was proven false before I even graduated high school!

dankm@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Major VAC [Valve's non-kernel anticheat] Live updates leaving cheaters cryingEnglish71·17 days agoAlong that line of thinking, I’d be nice if there were a “cheating allowed” sandbox option. A VAC enabled game mode where cheating is explicitly allowed. Cheat in it, no harm done, people get to experiment, VAC gets to learn about potential cheating methods they hadn’t considered, and nobody gets banned. Do it outside the sandbox and down comes the banhammer.
It’s night and my eyestrain filter turned on. Looks brown. I’ma check again in the morning.
My first thought was it looked like the family pet did the arse scoot across the carpet after suffering diarrhea…
I thought it was named after Lieutenant Broccoli of Star Trek fame.
Better than Brussels sprouts. Anything is better than that hell.
TIL I live North of Canada!

Two of my grandparents passed before I was born, of rather aggressive cancer. The other two lived completely independently until age-related illnesses got them in a matter of weeks.
I kinda hope that’s what happens to my parents; they’re in their mid 70s now and doing just fine on their own. My sister and I only need to help with with the occasional thing, like fixing stuff around the house that takes a decent amount of strength to do, or climbing ladders.

Are they any good? I got about 40% of the way through 1 and ran out of time. Wondering if it’s worth restarting on the original or the new.
I’ve heard it’s not gay in a three way either.
I am now saving this picture, and spreading it as far and wide as I can.
And I will never, never, never translate it into English.

That sounds expensive.

Yup, and 1998 was 27 years ago, that’s a perfectly reasonable age for motherhood. My kids were born when I was younger than that.
dankm@lemmy.cato Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Electric cars are to save the auto industry, not the environment.English1·4 months agoI stopped taking the bus when my city decided to reduce the transit time on all routes. The reduced my transit time from 20 minutes to 45, including the 20 minutes waiting outside for a transfer.
It’s a 25 minute bike ride or 12 minute drive on average.
If they’re bringing up ebikes, may as well whine about regular bikes. They can also go above 30. I go over 30 for about half my morning commute.
