  • When I heard it was forced back my first thought was ‘well that doesn’t help for Xmas stuff anymore, so why not just make a proper deal? It seems like a lose lose for the government’. The prime time was already delayed so figure it out.

    For the non Canadians I’m pretty sure they were working to make sure benefit cheques and such got through, so hopefully things like that weren’t delayed cause I do recognize how awful that can be for those that need it.


  • That’s how I think of the Canada Post strike that was just forced back to work. The timing was great, I didn’t read if they got anything to go back work now (they can strike / deal later or something) but it sure had an impact. I had to actually go to a provincial store for my weed heh, but I’ve been reluctant to order much due to that and I definitely support them for their demands. Everyone should be compensated for the recent inflation and they provide an essential service in a properly run society.


  • I could feel my dread go as I heard that lines over the years, as a young teen? Of course we will we always have, we endure. As a middle aged adult? I’m not so sure we aren’t going to shove ourselves back to the cave man era and not enough people will listen to anyone with survival knowledge for the species to survive.

    Then I think about how many species that must have and will happen to in this vast universe, so we’ll probably be an average result heh in the grand scheme of things that is.









  • The speeder scenes rocked, the few times I got to play the game on that in an arcade it was definitely closer to actually riding at death defying speeds in a semi open forest area, and it wasn’t a quarter game either if I recall.

    The score with the final lightsaber scene makes it great as well though in my books. Without the same music it wouldn’t have worked nearly as well…though that’s probably the same for a lot of the scenes. As great as the movie is I can still just listen to the music on its own, used to even on vinyl back in the day, Dad’s soundtrack and my fisher price record player lol.

    Not who you asked but I hook up mine to a PC meant for streaming, there’s no need for it to be smart with either browser or applications that stream the content. Unless I’m missing something.

    It’s not a need as much as a preference to not want every device need a connection if you have other means to handle the tasks. Also less bandwidth used since they don’t send back random data to headquarters, not that I imagine it’s a lot.



  • After listening to the book a half dozen times or so, I came to the thought it’s like poetry in novel form, the prose can be beautiful and horrid in emotions. Case is high as often as he can and he’s the lens we see most things through so everything is a bit surreal. So I’m guessing that’s agreeing with you calling it an art house novel it that’s close to what you meant.

    It’s one of my favourite novels of all time, I only wish I read it when it was newer, only got it like 10 years ago and I was prime age to read it in the 90s. Oh well,glad I got around to it.
