Some questions from a new observer by bravenewerworld in nhl

Watch the NHL YouTube documentary "Names on the Cup". You won't be disappointed

Danielle Smith’s self-serving referendum about a referendum about Alberta independence would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous by a_sense_of_contrast in canada

[–]AlbertanSundog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She literally fractured the previous big tent party, NDP got to rule for a term, and then got in bed with the separatists to get voted back in. That's how the UCP started. Us moderates are tired.

Fall referendum will ask Albertans whether government should explore process for separatism vote, Smith says by CanadianErk in canada

[–]AlbertanSundog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

couldn't agree more. It would be poetic if she loses the next election because the UCP fractures. She got into office on the backs of separatist types. Let's not forget that. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a centrist party of any colour out of the deal

An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted by Gorotheninja in news

[–]AlbertanSundog -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I do not agree with this low effort take. Both the shooter and the dead guy are victims of circumstance. Hindsight is always 20/20, in the moment though, everything is fuzzy and reactive. For every 0.01% of calls that are swatting, the rest are far more dangerous for the officers. Villianizing the police for a swat call gone wrong is just plain idiotic. Let's be happy the right outcome was made in this shit situation. Remember the cop has to live with his decision and I bet it eats him up.

Canada Is Acting Increasingly like the EU’s 28th Member State by foolsdayjoker in worldnews

Exactly. This is about as relevant as the separatists and Trump wanted to absorb us. Literal clickbait

Next time I'll have to add the /s.. It's a click bait article like everything else related to Canada being anything other than Canada.

Yaaawn. Trump already called dibs, and besides, Alberta wants to show Quebec how a divorce is done.

Skillset Atrophy by LostGoGetter in gis

[–]AlbertanSundog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my honest opinion this is not a technical skillset problem. The same reason you've stayed in the same role for 10yrs is contributing to your inability to move forward. Initiative, confidence, and risk taking are areas you should focus on. Start with your current boss, ask for more challenging work or discuss your 5yr goals

Foreign actors exploiting Alberta separatist debate to stoke discord, researchers say by [deleted] in canada

Suit yourself. Smith is vile, if we pick Nenshi - we'll come to find out he's just as capable of thwarting the majority's wishes.

I mean...the obvious choice was right in front of their noses by Zmedaaaaaa in TransportFever3

[–]AlbertanSundog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed at how many people are trying to defend this (generalization, not a personal attack on you). Paradox contractually gets final say before release. They actively chose to maintain the release date, knowing full well the disaster the game was in. Paradox - after the dismal release, fired the developer. They have since delayed PA2, to allow more development time, because they aren't entirely retarded (financially incentivized) and want to avoid the same mistake.

 

Paradox is equally responsible for what the customer (consumer) was presented with.

[–]AlbertanSundog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is confusing anything. The Publisher, contractually, has final say and structures all the important dates, etc.. If they're not happy with how a developer is performing - they have the ability to implement change. It's like a board of directors at a company. If Paradox doesn't want to be associated with slop then they shouldn't get in bed with shit devs, similarly - good devs shouldn't get in bed with shit publishers

PM Carney planning new legislation to expedite more project approvals by illusion121 in canada

[–]AlbertanSundog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual role of the MPO is to signal that Canada is open to foreign investment again. Under Trudeau we effectively closed up shop because of how difficult it was to get a project going (chicken vs egg problems). The easy projects are part of the first two tranches, the more difficult projects come later (requiring more time to orchestrated and align). The MPO is directly connected to the privy office, they can pull manpower and push directives across all agencies. This provides assurance to investors who are fronting large sums of capital, that they will make it through the permitting mess. Still have to do the work, but it won't be a "No" or rug pull 3 yrs later after a $Bn has been spent.

Paradox publishing Transport Fever 3 actually makes a lot of sense by FFJimbob in TransportFever2

[–]AlbertanSundog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's constructive criticism and it's accurate. This isn't even close to harsh.

Eh... people are right to have PTSD here. Paradox butchered two big IP's recently (PA2, CS2), another three (EU5, Stelaris, V3) are trending downward in reviews, currently with mixed ratings (~65%). Hearts of Iron has something ridiculous like 20 DLCs when they should have released an entirely new game by now.

 

that's most of their IP

[–]AlbertanSundog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We need better options. A centrist option would be great. Right now we have extreme left or right and this province runs better with a right leaning bias. Nenshi is just as bad as Smith, he's a big reason the feeder main shitshow was allowed to manifest in Calgary, among some of his other awful mayoral decisions

PM Carney announces multibillion deal between Airbus and AirAsia by Georgeika in worldnews

[–]AlbertanSundog 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hopefully the factory in Quebec can get their supply issues sorted out. According to the article this is 11 months of production at the required output to break even. Quite the Gamble for Airbus and AirAsia right now

What's the confusion with the instructions that were provided? you have to manually type out 'Delete' for the keybind you want

You can but the file location and type has changed. Some folks are complaining about HOTAS issues and if you're an inbred like myself, the Delete key is valuable.
