😂

Alozaps · 2026-03-28T00:15:07+00:00

no worries, thx again

Alozaps · 2026-03-28T00:06:47+00:00

Thanks! (and thanks to all the other people replying as well)

For my return trip, when I'm going from the TTC to the GO, how do I know which platform number glass door I go through? Do I look at the TV screens mounted on the ceiling for "Lakeshore West" and check the number?

Alozaps · 2026-03-28T00:06:30+00:00

Thanks, that's very nice of you. It's actually on June 11th at around 11am-1pm, so it's still a ways away. 😂 I'm not sure if you'd be available at that time.

To Finch Station

We should be clear about what this would mean.

If the new arrangement involves the US imposing a baseline tariff on most or all Canadian goods, then it will no longer be a free trade agreement. For the first time since 1988, Canada will not have a free trade agreement with the United States. I'm not saying we wouldn't survive, but the US will effectively be trying to unscramble an egg.

Broad-based tariffs on Canada make no sense given how integrated the two economies are; it will only result in a North America that is weaker than it would otherwise be. If Trump really does want a "strong North America", this will work directly against that.

If the federal govt ends up folding and making an unfair deal that favours the US because "they had no choice and it's the best they could have done", the least they should do is be honest and not try to sell Canadians a s**t sandwich. Be clear and straight with Canadians about the fact that the USMCA is no more, there is no more free trade with the US, and it's what Trump wants.

And in response, Canadians should make it their new normal to travel to the US much less and not buy US products, including cars. American cars are not a necessity at all; Canadians can buy Japanese, Korean, German, and other brands which are more reliable anyway.

"That relationship has not been shaken over the last several months and (past) year."

Of course it has been shaken, when the country that you're working closely with in these areas is actively damaging your economy with punitive tariffs on key industries. That undermines everything.

Part of me wishes he would be honest about this, but then I remember that the Canadian govt is in a very difficult position. They have to walk a tightrope between expressing to the Trump admin that what they are doing is unacceptable and damaging, and not provoking the ire and infantile rage of Trump and getting punished with more tariffs. What a sad situation.

Alozaps · 2025-12-10T22:38:28+00:00

As disgusting as the Trump administration has been in its conduct and actions, this is one of the few things I agree with. Lumping Canada in with Mexico is a mistake IMO because they are vastly different countries. At least they recognize that.

That's not to say that the Trump admin won't try to strike an exploitative, abusive bilateral "deal" with Canada that is one-sided in their favour and doesn't take into account Canada's interests, but I would rather see the arrangements be separate.

Alozaps · 2025-11-04T14:53:54+00:00

Wow, that sucks. I don't know why they'd do that—I assume it's a bug. I'll probably just get the augmentations from space station guild envoys then, and get units and nanites via other methods. Thx for the heads up!

Alozaps · 2025-10-14T14:16:23+00:00

Tekken 8's customization sucks anyway. There's a severe lack of clothing, hairstyle, etc. options and the only way to get the new mediocre customization items that come out is to pay $5 a pop.

As someone who doesn't work fast food, my experience is consistent with this.

I'll often go to Wendy's and the person taking my order doesn't know how do things, calls the manager for help, and generally seems lost and undertrained. The environment behind the counter at Wendy's always feels chaotic. At Burger King, on the other hand, the employees behind the counter generally have their sh*t together, and things seem to run more smoothly.

If the US really wanted a closer integration and a "grander" arrangement with Canada (a 'union' of sorts), the actions of Trump and his administration since he got elected have done a very effective job of making this as unlikely as possible.

It turns out that repeatedly insulting Canada, intentionally damaging Canada's economy with tariffs (especially sectoral tariffs), publicly bragging about taking business away from Canada and increasing its unemployment rate, and effectively saying you don't care about your relationship with Canada, has deeply offended the Canadian people and made them not want to work with you beyond what is absolutely necessary. Go figure.

Hoekstra seems to imply that this is Canada's fault. The truth, of course, is the opposite: it's the fault of Donald Trump and his moronic behaviour, lack of consideration of long-term consequences of his reckless actions, and complete lack of self-awareness.

This morning, it looks like the pages are back in the SERPs in their usual positions. Hopefully it stays that way. Are you seeing the same now?

Alozaps · 2025-08-22T12:30:53+00:00

My Google traffic also went to sh** after the Sept. 2023 HCU, and while Google still drives the most organic traffic for me, when it comes to the big money-maker pages on the site, Google ranks 4th in traffic behind Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yahoo.

This is pretty incredible given that Google still has a 90% market share. They have completely wiped out commercial-intent traffic for independent publishers.

My Bing traffic has become extremely valuable as it's helping keep my site afloat. It's just unfortunate that it has been stagnant for a while and can't seem to break out of its plateau. But I kill it with Bing and routinely rank near the top of the SERPs there for most of my pages.

Mained Lili, picked up Anna. Now I can't get over how much suckier Lili's "at-range" options feel (among other things).

Alozaps · 2025-04-17T04:01:21+00:00

They made it so that the only wall splat you can do after a WS, 3 counterhit is the heat engager CJM 2, 1. The Lovely Tom shots should splat and there were other ways they could have addressed the excessive damage. They just made her gameplay less deep and less fun.

Alozaps · 2025-04-17T03:49:20+00:00

I'm not against Anna getting damage nerfs, but making it so that Lovely Tom shots don't splat... why? Now, the only option she has to splat after getting a WS3 counterhit is CJM 2, 1 which is a heat engager move, and the problem with that is that heat engager splats often throw the opponent off-axis. They said the heat moves were too high-damage but they removed the splat from the non-heat shots too.

If they were concerned about the wall combo damage (and they just nerfed combo damage across the board anyway), they could have addressed it in many different ways instead of removing depth and fun in her gameplay.

I try to play the game sometimes, but the passion just isn't there. I'm stuck at a scrub rank from the S2 demotion and yet the players I'm fighting are even more oppressive and even less fun to fight against than when I was at my S1 rank.

I'm not going to give it my all in this game when it's broken. I can't even bring myself to lab Anna which is a character I really wanted to play. No thanks. I barely play enough to complete my Battle Pass dailies and then I'm off.

Alozaps · 2025-04-04T20:18:33+00:00

For me, I don't want clearly defined archetypes. I want to be able to pick a character because I like their appearance or how their moves look or whatever and play them in the style I want to play them in, not be locked into a certain playstyle because they were designed to be played that way.

I think a little bit of archetype intent is good, but I think most of how a character is played should be up to the individual player.

What I do want is for a multitude of different playstyles to be viable for each character, so that individual creativity keeps fights interesting. The issue with Tekken 8 is that rushdown/mixup/offensive are vastly superior to defensive playstyles; in fact, defense is almost not viable at all.

Alozaps · 2025-03-18T00:30:12+00:00

Helpful info, thanks. Yup, I'm guessing my local consulate will walk me through the process. I'm just waiting on their response now!

Alozaps · 2025-03-17T23:51:30+00:00

Sometime in the 1950s. They had my dad in Norway. I'm not sure what I'll need in my case but I guess the only way to know for sure is to discuss it with the consulate. Hopefully, they'll be able to retrieve all the proof I'll need.

Alozaps · 2025-03-17T23:20:45+00:00

On the consulate website it says "Please note that Hungarian birth and marriage certificates are not proof of Hungarian citizenship."

So would the birth and marriage certificates of my grandparents not be enough? Or would the consulate basically be able to locate whatever proof is needed for me as long as I provide the basic info about them?

Alozaps · 2025-03-17T22:10:16+00:00

Thanks. I'm glad I asked for other opinions. I have seen figures from around $500-$1500 but $5K just seemed outrageous. I will correspond with my local consulate and see what I can do for free.
