I have been a Liberal since I was 12 years old. I have never voted conservative in 30 years of federal elections. But with Trudeau refusing to step down I have no choice but to vote conservative. The backbenchers know they’re not going to get re-elected with him in charge and that’s why most of them have been relegated to the back benches. He’s surrounded himself with sycophant MPs, and is delusional enough to think the majority of the country is happy with him.

I’m willing to let Skippy axe the carbon tax and hopefully make living in this country affordable again. Ontario generally elects a provincial party that is in opposition, provincial liberals will get in and reintroduce cap & trade which will save us when the next liberal government is elected and tries to save the world again.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you’ll get an invite. Usenet… I can’t even remember how I got an invite

Someone important watched the latest episode of last week tonight. As someone with no iron in the fire, I’m glad there are still responsible adults running things from the background

Every time I open Amazon it tries to get me to watch whatever drivel they’ve made lately, Fallout and Bosch are the only things I’ve watched in years from Prime Video, and downloaded them both from the high seas. I dunno what Freevee is, but I’m not watching anything on it.

There was a linux version but it seems to have gone poof. For Windows users there’s : https://yt-bat.github.io/

I’ve had many deathstars fail.

Old sysadmin trick I was taught was to freeze the drives overnight, have used this trick on multiple occasions, but once the drive heats back up it’s really dead. But you’ve generally got ample time to backup the drive before it dies.

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that’s compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren’t accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

I’m very sorry about this. But every time I read “jorkin depeanus” a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

Ive always had issues with RyujinX, yuzu just worked.

I work with middle eastern guys who are like this, they hide this side of themselves when I’m around (white guy) but it comes out when my female coworkers are alone. It’s common enough that I’ve heard about it from multiple people. But when I’m around they’re great and I consider them good work friends.

Grab the rom for whichever Texas Instruments calculator you like best and use one of the various TI8X emulators:

Just google for the rom file you want. I just tried the TI92+ found here:

Weird calculator, but one of the more common TI models should look just as nice

eWaste. We have a contract to give an outside company all our stuff. We degauss and shred hard drives and everything else does in a big bin that they pickup every month.

We have a hard drive degausser and shredder. Lucky bastard taking things home

Obviously, people said that if you had a newer card it was ok. I say nay nay.

Glad Weston allows it to run in X11 because every attempt to switch to wayland fulltime has been painful.

Yea apparently the farms know in advance about the inspections and move the kids somewhere else during inspection and they’re back the next day.

John Oliver did a Halloween episode on the cocoa industry, and yea its slavery by a different name. Kids are getting sent to the “family farm” but never see their family again

And the sad part is he’s probably going to win the next election. So many family members are starting to parrot his stupidity, and even my hardcore liberal friends are starting to lean because we’re all tired of Trudeau and whatever stupid thing he’s doing this week that will cost us money.

I was reading that Europeans actually found a way to sex the egg so they don’t hatch the male eggs, thus negating the need to destroy male chicks. I’m guessing the technology costs money so it’s unlikely that US factory farms would use it. Probably easier to kill the with the grinder.

Just picked up a new FireTV 4k Max because I heard it was the perfect device for emulation, and it is. And fairly cheap. I had been running emulators on an older firestick but the new one has much better OTG support and will recognize USB storage without mounting via Adb. RetroArch and many other standalone emulators are available on the Amazon store so you don’t even need to sideload the apps anymore.

Ive tested up to PS2 and barring a few known titles it’ll run pretty much everything. N64 included.

Amazon have stated they plan to drop Android on their sticks in the future, and switch to their own OS which I doubt will support these kinds of uses, so grab one while you can.
