Yeah, Poilievre will happily turn Canada into a US client state and give big daddy Trump everything he wants. If Canadians are ok with that, then those numbers make sense. I would rather have someone who actually represents Canadians' best interests.

If you're looking for strength, make sure you're lifting as heavy as possible with relatively few reps, especially the big compound lifts (squat, deadlift, etc.) Doing lots of reps with lighter weights can serve other purposes, but gotta go heavy to get strong.

AMD surpassed Intel a while back for most things. If you're using it primarily for gaming, look into X3D chips, otherwise the higher core count AMD chips are pretty good for productivity. GPUs have gotten insanely expensive. They're now usually half the budget. PCPartPicker is a great website!

Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber. Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse. Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

Finished Dragon Age Veilguard. Now to walk around in that post-story-you-loved daze for a few hours. Maybe days.

I highly doubt Ford and GM will be able to deal with China, a fact both political parties recognized and helped drive the EV tariffs/ban. They never actually dealt with Japan or Korea, just ceded market share continually. If it weren't for pickup trucks driving profits, they'd probably be gone.

The party that is obsessed with child sex offenders, & is close to a cult that claims child sex offenders run the government, just nominated a guy once investigated for allegedly sex-trafficking a 17 year old girl to be in charge of the country’s legal system. Beyond parody.

If I had a nickle for every chart-topping song named after an alcohol-themed supernova I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but etc etc

In my #DragonAge playthrough Emmerich announced he had started seeing Spite, and asked my Rook for help picking out a romantic spot for a date. He asked this with Lucanis in the room. I was tres confused. Strife. He was dating Strife. This made much more sense. #DragonAgeVeilguard

The current crop of LLMs are not quite a fad, but they are not going to achieve actual General AI. They quite simply can't think. They can be a very useful tool, but most of what they'll do is fill the internet with garbage for several more years.

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

I think I'm about 6 hours away from finishing #DragonAgeTheVeilguard and I have been absolutely loving it. Is the game perfect? No. But the art direction, combat, and level mechanics are all top notch and make every second a joy. I have many thoughts on the writing, but the plot is very enjoyable!

I know! Surprisingly engaging for a game about mowing down zombies and demons. Loved the overall plotline across all 4 in the end. Especially for a YA-oriented series.
