Physics PhD student in Edmonton, AB, Canada. Grew up in rural Alberta and still love quadding and trips to the mountains. I like taking pictures, though I'm probably not very good at it. Love video games and anime. Portal, Bayonetta, Halo, SW: KotOR, Independence War 1 & 2, Mass Effect, Skyrim, et al. Some of my favourite anime include Mob Psycho 100, Gintama, No. 6 (Nezumi x Shin forever), Shin Sekai Yori, Beyond the Boundary, Fate/Zero, Saga of Tanya the Evil, Kado, My Hero Academia, and more. My absolute favourite books are the Culture books by Iain M. Banks. He crafted an amazing sci-fi universe. I also quite enjoyed the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (at least the first 8 books or so), and the Last Herald Mage trilogy by Mercedes Lackey.
Save scumming.
Same here in Canada. If you make it larger in the image you have to include text that says so.
“Impregnated” is perfectly cromulent here even in English. It’s just a less common use of the word and, admittedly, not the use that comes first to my mind either.
How come Jesus needs one of the dumbest and weakest people in the entire world to start Armageddon? He couldn’t squidge us out with his pinky finger?
Did the apostles manage to sneakily delay Armageddon by writing in a convoluted series of conditions into the Bible for Armageddon and then binding god and Jesus by their arcane powers?
Or, and hear me out, don’t put a useless piece of fabric around your neck?
My family even watched it even though we don’t watch football or listen to Bad Bunny (not cuz he’s bad, just not our kind of music).
"Control is intriguing enough
With its mysterious, inscrutable stuff,
But the combat is cloying
And about as annoying
As a limerick that doesn't end properly."
-Yahtzee Croshaw
Those are the saddest, most anemic looking breakfast sausages I’ve ever seen… not that anything on the plate is winning awards. But like, are you supposed to cook it yourself? Did they freaking boil them? I don’t understand what’s going on here. It must actually take effort to make something that unappetizing. I’d eat the orange and then beat myself over the head with the tray.
But it wouldn’t end NATO, would it? Wouldn’t the rest of NATO be forced to kick them out and defend Greenland? As a Canadian, that’s what I think should happen. Or, if kicking the US out is a non-starter then we form NATO 2 without the US and still defend Greenland. The US would become a pariah state with only a few possible allies.
Beautiful ceremony. But it would have been funny if they just tipped it into the bin and called it a day.
Me on jury duty: Can I get a tuna sandwich with extra mustard and onions? No particular reason.
Anything by Iain M. Banks. The M is important as those are his sci-fi ones and he publishes regular fiction under Iain Banks. In particular, I enjoyed his books about the Culture. The order doesn’t really matter, but the first published was Consider Phlebas.
Admittedly, there are words that don’t have a religious connotation, but “minister” is perfectly cromulent here.
I think you’re exactly right. In an authoritarian regime, the ruler is the country. In a democracy, the people are the country. Hence the Royal We vs. We the People.
What would China Lily count as? I’m assuming hydrolyzed since it tastes very different from Kikkoman to me.
They’re not literally luminescing. It’s essentially a trick of the light due to the browning of the baking paper underneath them and possibly orange light from the element. The cookies themselves are black where they’re burnt and actually cookie-coloured in the cracks, not red or glowing like it appears at first glance.
You can use Wien’s displacement law to get a rough idea how hot something would have to be to glow a certain colour.
I don’t believe for one second any of that is real gold.
I don’t know how true it is, but I’ve seen a lot of memes that say some of the Geneva Conventions were based on some “inventive” tactics Canadians used during the World Wars.
Go McLaren! 😜
I was gonna say they need family sized bottles, but that sounds objectionable. Party-sized? Industrial strength? Bulk?
Why would you even want the headache of owning all that? After my first billion I’d be gone without a trace and you’d never see or hear from me again. Instead, people consolidate and buy out these companies until there’s just a husk when it goes bankrupt because it turns out infinite growth doesn’t work. Maybe the very largest can weather it for longer, but see the recent spate of bankruptcies including North America’s oldest company, HBC.
He looks so calm too. Like “this is how everyone launches a boat, right?”
How did they get so moldy in the first place?
I guess I’m a bit confused. What governmental role did he hold?
Incredible!
I don’t even know what to say lol. Cute!
I didn’t know you were Canadian, Madame! Albertan here (sorry), but also spend some time in BC. I’d love to try your food if you’re on this end of the country (well, I’d still love to try even if you aren’t, just might be more difficult).
Scheer is a Canadian, but I agree with your point.
Canadian conservatives are being emboldened by the American ones to be their worst selves. Despite it losing them an entire election that was basically guaranteed to them and even losing Pierre Poilievre (the conservative running for Prime Minister) his seat in his own constituency. Just to even remain in politics, he had to come over here to Alberta because we’re dumb as shit here.
There’s a highly profitable factory somewhere and they trot out a new model year pretty reliably.
