Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Cafe were some brilliant high points of CBC radio. The stories he told were always funny and bizarre and often heart-warming or bittersweet. He was so good at telling these stories of crazy normal life. I know there aren't really many Canadians around, and even then since he was only ever on radio it's probably not something many people would know. But I'd like to say he was a brilliant creative person. And our national creative scene is lessened by the loss of him.

Well I do remember few big cases one was a wild fire in russia that started to near our borders after being burning for like 2-3 weeks already cause russians don't give a fuck
and the smoke reached all the way to our capital even
and then when Iw as in the army, during the summer final drills, the live ammo and shit caused the dry forest to burn constantly so I just one day remember, walking out from the mess hall to my office, stopping still and noticing that the whole barracks area was surrounded by a wall of smoke. At that point everyone not in active drills were ordered to go help the local firefighters stationed in case shit got too real in terms of fire, to put out the fires.
But in general, we don't get big fires, we kinda maintain our forests well enough to avoid that and the climate rarely allows for it.

was it public transport at least with that you can play games

Either way, that's between 2.6 and 4 hours a day commuting. 8 hour shift + 4 hour commute means you won't have time in the day for anything else.

i tihnk it might be ok if i get home at 6-7 i can do stuff then die at 11-12
Anno
What hours would you be working? If this is a standard nine-to-five you should probably regularly expect to get home by 19:00. Dinner and clean up immediately afterwards means you wouldn't be free to do whatever until 20:00 at earliest. Plus you're probably gonna be mentally drained and frustrated because of a long commute. That doesn't sound bad but it usually means a lack of interest in your hobbies, from what I've found.

In a way he managed to live up to his dreams and aspirations of following in the footsteps of Roman emperors. Just like them he wrought a total upheaval of the nation states of the known world.
And due to Napoleon being a threat, we were granted complete autonomy, practically independent in all but the name Grand Duchy of Finland, as we were called. That sparked the national and patriotic spirit, that followed suit with most of our national works being made in the next 50 years or so and by the end of the century, we were all "fuck russia"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
And Prussia would've never become the unificator of Germany, if they had not profited so much of the war and AUstria on the other hand suffered I mean Napoleon ENDED THE HRE bye bye Austrian influence from germany
And the failed first republic then resulted in his nephew, Napoleon 3rd taking over with popular support. and his bumpling military leadership, led partially, though, to the defeat in the Franco-prussian war that unified germany
Like you can say Hitler made the modern world, but napoleon made the last two centuries completely

Funny how we call cabbage cabbage, but bok choy bok choy.
>>28398 it's mostly convergent etymology, not divergent most of these things come from different places in the world, so they have a different name they all have latin names which would be more specific in that sense i guess
kale is also called leaf cabbage here but that runs the risk of being vague if you told someone to go to the store and pick up leaf cabbage, they may not know what you're talking about and get what they think is leaf cabbage but isn't if you tell em to get kale, everyone knows what kale is
there are other cabbages that are leafy, for instance

Also my friend bought a copy of Fate/Extella that comes with the extra shit. We went to a gamestop pretty far away since it was the only one with Nioh that wasn't in the ghetto. When we got back he opened it up and they put in the PSVita version even though he bought the PS4 version. I got a Starfox plush for $2 from the clearance bin.

FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>28416 It also the only place I can get a hard copy of Gravity Rush Remastered for under $80. They sell it used for $40. >>28418 You don't really own games you buy digitally. Plus if I buy it and don't like it I can resell it for like $100. People are willing to pay that much for Gravity Rush Remastered's physical edition.
>>28417 you don't have actual any money just "trust"
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs
>>28419 I actually do have several hundred dollars worth of gold and silver coins. Not that I bought them for the purpose of using them if society collapses, I have them because I collect coins.
Even that is not anything but "perceived value" if society collapses, who will want your gold? people will value guns, weapons, food, water, shelter and such gold will be as useless to them as tin cans. actually, tin cans are useful as fuck
So the "digital game is not owned" argument is silly as fuck. And anyhow, aside from steam, say gog or other platforms you can play them just fine without having to boot the "storefront". Steam is only platform that does, and not with all titles, limit the access to games if steam is not running. If it is on your hard drive, or any storage facility, it is actually more permanent than CD or DVD or BD, since those neither have eternal shelf-life. >>28422 A minor inconvenience, that no one who matters cares about.
FormerRei !GURPSRWiTs

Also my friend wants to know how accurate of a representation of Finnish life "My Summer Car" is.
Still if society collapses, i think copper and such more available materials would get first used gold, is rare even when society is fully operational, and so is silver too. Neither is like diamonds, which value is just insane, because the diamond companies only release so many gems to the market.

we can use copper for most things easily because, with our power grid, the loss of energy in storing and transportation is negligible take down the grid and having gold for room temperature operations and storage would be crucial you'd eventually need some superconductors to store the energy without loss though

>>28569 I would like to say no (comme // comma goes here to separate it as a preface clause, and what follows is an elaboration of what is meant by no), that ....
It would be different if you were to say, "I would like to say that, no, X is a bad idea" but that's not it
English comma rules or rather at times, if you ask a finn, the lack of them. Can be really annoying.
Marsh
>>28570 Oh. Yeah. Maybe. But the Trump stuff is universal all over campus. All during O-Week there were people handing out fliers for protests and stuff.
Anno
Well then maybe it's the fact that he's happily defunding science departments in the States, for the Science majors. Or the fact that he claims to be a successful business man, for the Economics majors. I dunno man, I think it's harder to find a group of people that wouldn't be pissed off by him

>>28573 I'm against protesting in general, but I don't know how to show it
>>28574 Man. The point isn't whether Trump is doing a good job or not.
The point is that it's a question about writing mechanics and yet people immediately found a way to shoehorn in their own personal agenda. . >>28575 I'm sure there's some sort of petition form for that. Maybe a hunger strike.

Fair 'nuff. It's obnoxious and in some cases, probably even brown nosing for the professors. But you were the one who was bewildered at them coming out of the woodwork.
>>28577 True. I guess I meant that type of person in general. The kind of individual who would post something like that.
It wasn't a pretty sight at the lecture yesterday. All the women weighed at least 80 kilos and looked like they'd have their own Tumblr Blog. All the men looked like they'd been injecting estrogen hormones.
>>28580 I actually admire her I would love to be at her age as good at playing the "game of thrones" and be that well connected Anyone else ANYONE ELSE that had same kind of situation as her while running for president, wouldn't have gotten so far and still nearly won.
Trump had the media against him and the trump uni case, but that is peanuts compared to the shit hillary was messing in. And she still nearly won.
I want to learn that kind of statementship and political game
>>28581 You should play dumb on that discussion and pretend like you didn't even know America had an election be like, "Isn't Obama the president? What happened, did he resign?"
Anno
That probably wouldn't be the best option. You'd end up with all of them surrounding Marsh and delivering their heavily biased lecture on the recent election. He'd get mobbed until the thought that Trump is a devil sent to destroy America was firmly lodged in his memory.
Marsh
>>28584 Oh wow. THat's an awesome idea. Just act like I have no idea who Trump is.

This actually isn't the first female doctor, there was one in a non canon radio drama in the 90's. Or something close to that. Also I think in the parody movie done officially by BBC the doctor became female.

oh yeah, any chance any of you happen to have a large portion of aqua teen hunger force downloaded? I currently need the english subtitle/closed captions files for a project I'm doing.
Seriously, I never thought of just how stressful that could really be. Getting RT'd by someone with actual twitter clout with something relatable. It was just so immediate and intense. You see their RT there for like... ten seconds. And then, you're fucking flooded.
>>28646 The problem is I have literally nothing to keep posting to keep growing I don't have a fucking purpose with this account other than save new kuma and koume images
>notifications I don't use these I just have a column barely visible in my tweetdeck for anything mentioning me ...I guess that is the notifications actually, but it doesn't matter or make a sound It's just there, ticking by VERY slowly It's only like 5 likes but I was also THE FIRST reply so I'm the first thing people see, I think?
>>28655 Oh >>28656 But I don't have any content to post I don't post anything other than complete garbage >>28658 I dunno I just thought one would be better suited as a slur than the other, I guess?
>>28675 You don't know that >>28678 It doesn't. I'm talking possibilities and you're talking bias as if the people on the other side of the wall aren't there and present to rile those guys up anyway.
>>28679 No, I am talking about how anti-freespeech twitter is and how they generally ban, shadowban and censor and so on, people who hold values and ideas like SK does.
>>28681 please. If they were at all effective and forward with those policies, they wouldn't be getting all the complaints that they do about being a hotbed for all those things. >muh bootleg ovaltine
>>28683 Oh, be realistic, even if they were 100% orwellian, as one would say, with their policies. They would still get complaints from "those people" about the certain kind of ideology followers.
>>28689 Nope. Because I sit here talking to you (who probably doesn't use it), people on twitter who sound like both you and sk, and the people on my side of the bias.
Well whatsoever the case, you do prolly agree and have noticed that twitter is heavily pro-censorship, pro-"left" as they call it, and so on. While banning people for saying, for example "fuck blask" while approving of "fuck whites" Hypocritical shits, i say. Either ban all or do nothing.
They do both, and they do it infrequently. They're bad at moderation in general. It's like being me on meguca. Except I have no actual moral responsibility to uphold the opinions of those people and I'm not making money.
>>28694 I'm also a source. Go figure. People are lenses no matter how above the system of bias they think they are. >>28697 Pretty much. I've been wondering about the ethical dilemma in being too big to pull from twitter. Like at what point is the president's words so dangerous that they have to pull his account? Where is the line of "for the safety of humanity"?
I suppose twitter only targets people who are big enough, but not big enough to be too big, in that matter? So yeah, if that is true and lets presume it is, in that manner, SK would have a good plateau where to share his ideas and thoughts in twitter since realistically, it would take way too long for him to become so big that twitter would ban him. No matter how "toxic" his shit is. And at this rate twitterm ight DIE or do 180 on their policies before that becomes a worry for him. At grass root level, you can spread your ideas equally well, than at the ivory tower megaphone level, it just is a completelty different process.
At grassroot the idea spreads, but no one can trace it that well back to its origin so even if they WANT to ban it they can't it would take way too much effort to do so, and no platform currently running seems to be wanting to spend it.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>28696 Well when he actually says "kill all mooslims" or shit like that But even if they ban Trumptwitter there is POTUS twitter and bannign that..
But there is evidence of twitter muxing around with Trump tweets basically, removing messages that are pro-trump from the "chain" or something like that, so they don't show up in the conversations and shit Which results in the "only trump-critical" messages showing up as replies to his every tweet
It isn't that well proven thing, but there are already several cases of people noticing their "go trump" tweets having been removed from the "chain" of discussion or whatever, so they don't show up in the replies
>>28698 is up to their discretion to do so. They can pull his whole exec branch if they feel like. But I'm not talking about simply promoting murder and breaking ToS. I'm talking about even in the line of normalcy, at what point is a statement too outlandish for the leader of your country to make on your platform? >>28699 >removing messages that are pro-trump from the "chain" or something like that, This has happened in lots of threads and I'm fairly certain that it's a bug. Also, Trump has a really awkward posting style. Maybe it's because he had a broken chain in the past, I don't know. But he doesnt actually make threads. His tweets don't chain. He just makes them all separate.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>28699 So to anyone reading trump twitter or to the man himself everyone on twitter seems to be against him I can't say tha the "pro trump" is that many people, but just thea ct of removign them
>>28700 Can't say anyuthing at this point, the evidence is there, but it is too few cases Maybe in a week or so it will be known for sure, but then again if the people find out about it, what stops twitter from finding about it and quickly stopping doing it?
I mean, it would be a huge scandal if they actively removed positive tweets targetted at the POTUS Which is why now that I think about it, i doubt is a thing but... >twitter is suicidal
Web development is hard. Twitter is just not really good at addressing these kinds of problems. Every bug they have "damages" discourse. both the bugs and the design / UX, they just don't know how to do it in a good way with positive outlook on the changes.
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>28703 Yeah but how do you hav wait I will just link the bit
>>28714 Yeah, it can still be a bug. Algorithms are really interesting things.
月
>>28719 it depends really what you mean by decent does it need to look decent or feel decent? ive made mohair wigs for dolls that i've had to soak and dry and dye and soak and dry and dye and treat over like six days the mohair itself isn't always to get ahold of, but i sold those for i think 60 dollars mind you they were for dolls and that was just a little fun craft i was exploring. if i were wigmaking full time and really had the craft down, i'd charge probably more than 200 for a person wig maybe 200 if it was generic, but if they wanted something custom and i had measurements fit for them, or if it were for a really elaborate cosplay, it'd be like 300 or 400 at least and i have no idea what they're actually worth but that's what i'd charge, considering my time investment and all that
>>28723 This has an important gap in it. We don't know the extent of the positive and negative tweets. If you remove a lot of posts, and you are left with only negatives, that doesn't mean it didn't pull negatives. It's just biased towards pulling positives out. This is assuming that there's some kind of connection between the "low-quality posts" and the thread dropping.
I find it hard to believe that every glitch in the major social networks coincidentally all affect the political right while leaving the political left the fuck alone consistently
Kirara☆ !Sh0sAiDORU
we can't say whether or not it affects the left because they're fundamentally less likely to notice it and also less likely to say anything if it happens
>>28727 >every time there's a bug, it's right leaning people who notice and the left side doesn't get affected I mean, it COULD affect the left and it just doesn't FULLY?
Like maybe it removes anti trump messages automatically, too, but not ALL of them If it is a bug, THAT's the bug
Twitter has lots of bugs you know. You just hear of the right-leaning ones. Thread dropping is something that I've heard about on a lot of occasions. >>28728 What I'm saying is that if there is an algorithm to prune things, then it definitely has a bias. But algorithms naturally have biases because they're made by human beings (especially ones concerning words and emotions). the ones who are going to notice the instance are those affected.

>>28730 well you wouldn't ever do that for one-time use anyway that's for people who actually need a wig, like CD's or balding women who want several wigs that they can use day to day for cosplayers, the high-end stuff is usually bought by the photographers rather than the cosplayers themselves, because professional cosplayers are basically models doing photoshoots
『ｓｋ』
>>28729 Thread dropping "happening" to affect 90% of pro trump replies is pretty fuckin' strange Though Hillary won 8 coin flips or something in a row so anything's possible
>>28732 Consider that not everyone is going to be particularly concerned with whether or not their tweet will hit viral levels. People concerned with conspiracy will ask those similar to them for likelihood. >>28737 Yeah, I've also noticed it (although, of course, I didn't particularly care about it) It can be a conspiracy. Or it can just be a bad bug. Or it can just be a bad algorithm.
月
>>28733 that's one way you can tell how seriously transvestites are about crossdressing if you're at a tranny bar and you see cheap or gaudy wigs, it's more just an occasional thing that they like to be gaudy if they've got serious wigs and you can tell they invested emotion and passion into making their outfit natural that's a high quality tranny

Don't get me wrong, I don't give much of a shit either, but it's real fuckin' suspicious for every discovered new "bug" to either affect every user, or ONLY RIGHT-LEANING POLITICAL USERS AND NOBODY ELSE SEEMINGLY
Like it's a bit rich to go "Oh that's a bug in the system, unintentional"
月
>>28735 It might not be the algorithm that's bad, but an situation which the algorithm isn't geared towards anti-trump tweets will be viewed and shared a lot more because they're more outspoken and all that pro-trump people don't really go around looking for pro-trump tweets to validate any opinions they have because there hasn't been the national denial of their hopes tweeter is just heavily weighted on traffic

>>28761 Same thing. chaos ain't shit both the same state of being ... I guess it's interesting the use of "ain't shit" since aint is negative so it would sound like you're not shit. but often "aint shit" is used to mean that you're less than shit. Being nothing, essentially.
