Doomsday preppers

There are two kinds of people who own a pressure canner - people who enjoy making preserves and fucking crazy people.

That’s the kind of password an idiot would have on his luggage!

Speaking as somebody just on my way home from a trip to Newfoundland, you’d have to try hard not to see pitcher plants there. A huge swath of the island has very poor soil, so there are carnivorous plants all over the place. I hiked the Tablelands trail in Gros Morne National Park and there were pitcher plants along the entire thing.

He’s always been awful (he got famous in Canada by making wild claims about bill C-16 when all it really did was add gender identity to the list of protected classes for the purposes of human rights legislation) but he definitely got worse after his trip to Russia.

He talks a lot about personal responsibility but when it came time to kick his benzo addiction, instead of taking personal responsibility and dealing with the withdrawal symptoms, he tried to convince his doctors to put him into an induced coma. They refused because they didn’t think it was safe or ethical, so he flew to Russia where it’s easier to find doctors who are less picky about safety and ethics. I’m convinced the coma gave him brain damage because he’s been way more unhinged ever since.

Are they just betting that AI is gonna be good enough to replace all of them then?

Yes. That is literally the plan.

In a few years, I am expecting a huge consulting boom like the COBOL / FORTRAN boom that happened during Y2K.

Tame compared to some of the other stories here but the Motel 6 across from Disney World in Florida when I was visiting for a high school trip. I noticed that the soles of my feet were all black and assumed it was because I’d been walking around in the parking lot in bare feet. Turns out it was actually the carpet in the room. I wore my shoes in the room for the rest of my stay.

Windwaker had a ton of content cut. The ice island and fire island were both supposed to be full dungeons. Both of those incomplete dungeons later ended up being used in Twilight Princess.

The tower of the gods was supposed to be longer.

Fires the entire R&D department

Changes the company slogan to “Innovate”

I can attest that the tacos in their taco kits have shrunk considerably. We’re usually left with a few taco shells after mostly using a taco kit, so we’d buy another kit and a loose pack of taco seasoning for the next time around.

I didn’t take a pic but last time we did this, the tacos from the new kit were 3/4 the size of the tacos from the old one. That’s the last taco kit I’ll ever buy from them and I was mad enough to send them a complaint.

The seasoning on cast iron is polymerized oil and it’s chemically bonded to the iron. You’re only really going to be removing the seasoning if you’re using abrasives or scrubbing too hard with steel wool or something like that.

Any loose bits of black gunk that are coming off while you’re cleaning it with a sponge or a scrubby are just burnt food.

Letterkenny. My wife who grew up in Eastern Europe was baffled at how hard I was laughing and I had to explain that it was just barely an exaggeration of my experience growing up in rural South-Western Ontario.

If you’re not from the area, you’ll probably want to watch it with subtitles, because the dialogue is fast and the accents are strong.

The OG Nazis were actually bozos too, they just had very good propaganda. So good that you’re still seeing the effects today.
