We were in the Netherlands over the holidays. We couldn’t find advocaat to save our lives! Some people gave us a blank look like they’d never heard of it. Others said it was a grandma drink and they never get call for it. :(

I can’t say I’m particularly outraged by any of the proposed legislative changes, but I feel like there’s some reading between the lines that would need to be done.

Like their transportation memo embraces new and innovative technology, while ignoring the innovation and efficiency that can be gained by leveraging existing technology. Canada’s train legislation is in dire need of reform.

If they centralize control of transport policy in the federal government, but then declare the needs of suburbs take priority over the needs of cities, then we could end up with a Doug Ford in charge who works to eradicate cycling infrastructure nationwide, and turn cities into mere corridors for cars to pass through to other destinations.

I’ve noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we’re still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it’ll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.

I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

It wasn’t bad actually.

I’ll have to look for that. Probably not at our regular market but there is a south American specialty store across the street that I have neglected.

Soak rice overnight. Add riceand water, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, to blender . Blend. Strain. Serve over ice, or not.

The American beer you get in Canada is terrible. Budweiser and Miller and shit like that. American beer at an American pub was great, when I last visited.

Sounds like isekai.

As well as owning the board itself and being able to change the rules. It’s a sucker’s game to fight on a battlefield controlled by the enemy without overwhelming advantage.

They really need to change how market cap is calculated. Even a linear function going to zero as the last share is sold would be better. I wonder.

We tax the theoretical assessed value of houses, why not stocks?

You forgot to end your sentence with ‘lol’. At least be consistent with your bad English.

And then you have Terry Pratchett who gave us Mister Teatime.

Look into Sawyer water filters. Much easier to use than lifestraws, last longer. Pressure instead of suction.

Could almost be a Space Engineers screenshot.

So mad at them for cancelling that. It was a bright spot in a bleak landscape at the time.

“Hey let’s make a game for nerds and ignore the OS with a dramatically higher uptake among nerds”

Oh, that sucks. I hadn’t heard about that cancellation. Still, SpaceX set an unreasonable timeline and expectations of the client, and that should have consequences.

Oh good. Hopefully it gets into the next release. Always hoping for some extra FPS.

They said no IT.
