With that kind of money Doug Ford can build almost 4% of the tunnel under the 401.

That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.

Sure, it’s SNW S02E09 (“Subspace Rhapsody”). I watched the teaser and decided to skip that one. I read the synopsis before watching the season finale.

I think Prodigy really improved in the second half of the first season and more so in the second season. I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult watching by myself, no shame in that 😁

I watch 929 episodes (out of 930 to date), the 10 shorts, and the 14 movies. Out of devotion. Section 31 was indeed awful, what can I say. But it’s only 90 minutes and you lose nothing if you multitask while watching.

IMO Lower Decks and Prodigy, the two animated shows, were the best by far of New Trek. Strange New Worlds is quite OK (and I have a soft spot for it since the Toronto episode). I hope it continues on the right path.

Yep, I think that’s how it’s commonly understood.

It was absolutely the best of New Trek!

I watched.

Not overly informative.

And Ontario (like Canada) is not really democratic because of first-past-the-post, so I will vote strategically.

Ah, yes, Isildur’s famous line: “No. Made with mematic”

Those texts may not be in compliance with CRIC standards, but do we know for sure it’s a scam? I got this message and respnded, the followup was:

Thank you … could we please get your postal code for statistical purposes so we know approximately where you live?

To which I responded with a nearby postal code (not my actual one). Then the response was “Thank you for completing the survey”.

So the document had been classified as written in Nabataean, but it’s unclear if that turned out not to be the case in the end?

I downloaded the 70B model and tried politically “naughty” questions. Even without the chatbot guardrails, it mostly says things that the CCP would approve of, but you could trick it to be more honest (not super easy!). One interesting thing is that while it usually spews this <think></think> blocks, for some politically sensitive questions (“is Taiwan part of China”) it just spits the answer.

شلون (shlon)

Came in with very low expectations and was still disappointed.

Plot made little sense, characters awkward and unconvincing, gratuitous violence and team mistrust just don’t feel Trekky to me.

Redeeming qualities: special effects and it was only 90 minutes long.

2/10

I’m good with one large meal a day.

I’m so used to it I never realized it’s unusual.

I’m not a fan of any of these companies, by any means whatsoever, but this is not a good title for this graph. Climate change results when CO₂ is put into the atmosphere, not so much when petroleum is extracted from the ground. Oil companies definitely share a lot of the blame, but the buyers and users of their products are no less at fault. Saying that Shell or Chevron or whatever are responsible in proportion to their production is an oversimplification.

No one likes paying taxes, but I think that for most people who can afford to buy a home in this city, property tax is still significantly lower than provincial and federal taxes, and arguably you get more for your buck (the money is spent closer to home, by definition).

No, it’s not normal getting a fax in 2025.

Why she’s only credited by her first name: because she asked and Mike McMahan agreed even though he didn’t know why.
