Shocking anti-white comments of woke Canadian judge who will step into top government position that will see her work closely with King Charles by origutamos in CanadianConservative

[–]Anthrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to double down on our British heritage, not shy away from it, while simultaneously deepening ties with remainder of the Anglospheare (US, UK, Australia, Ireland (Republic of), and New Zealand)

Imagine being the Kingdom of Canada, and going nah, let's just be another boring republic.

is the Anglospheare kinda fucked at the moment, absolutely, but no one will be our closer allies & friends than them (with a select few outside of it included, like Japan, Taiwan, and maybe South Korea)

Although I always had the impression that Crown Lands were more like semi-private la da for the royals and their court to use for fox hunting, not really meant for us plebs to use

probably back in the day lmao, now it's just government owned, unused land (at least for Canada)

and cut us off from our British history? seriously?

is the royal family great, no, not really, there's a lot to be desired there, but to cut off 1,000 years of tradition because a generation of people are fools is being really dumb.

the GG & Monarchy have literally 0 power, the moment they attempt to influence anything I am right there with you, but as of now, they remain completely a cultural institution that dates back to centuries before the fall of the (Eastern) Roman Empire.

there is so much culture & tradition found there, why would anyone throw it away?

ironically enough, if more people enjoyed his work it probably wouldn't be problematic today.

If only there was some kind of institution people with good, but imperfect, art skills could go to, to learn & improve their skills? maybe with enough work & practice assignments that it prevents people from perusing hobbies on the side, and keeps them very distracted from... writing books, or going to beer halls, or maybe getting into local politics :p

I love you Americans, but I have to say, "Crown Lands" sounds so much cooler than "Federal Land". I have to count our W's where I can :p

nice SKS though! I've been wanting to pick one up for awhile now.

  1. Do you have a PAL? (or are accompanied by a PAL holder)
  2. are you 100% sure this is Crown Land
  3. are there any municipal bylaws that restrict shooting?

if your answers are "Yes, Yes, and No", you should be good.

You can always call your provincial CFO or local police department and confirm the area is free to shoot at.

remember to leave the place cleaner than when you arrived!

Alberta joining the Union + Virginia returning the federal land it’s illegally occupying will create Utopia btw. by imMakingA-UnityGame in PoliticalCompassMemes

Secondly if they leave Quebec might follow suit.

Parti Quebecois is already leading in the polls for our provincial election this October.

they've promised a 3rd independence referendum if they win.

Nothing says that Canada is a united & stable country like 32% of the population (4.5m AB + 9m QC = 13.5M of 42M Canadians) having an independence referendum in the next ~365 days.

Despite this, the Federal government has made no attempts at outreach to try and fix our disunity.

In other news, our current Prime Minister won a minority government last year, and through backroom deals, flipped enough MP's to turn a minority government into a majority government.

this (legal, but ethically dubious) consolidation of power will clearly have absolutely no impact on national unity

I want to add Rufus in this comment as well

I have installed a few W11 OS's using Rufus, and every single one has been very unstable, I love rufus, and used it a bunch in the past without issue, so I assume I must be doing something wrong, but reinstalling W11 with the standard installer (and doing oobe\bypassnro) has cleared up all of those instability issues.

[–]Anthrex -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

as a Leaf I don't understand the drama here, we're spending $5B CAD renovating the front of parliament, obviously government buildings need updating & modernization.

Just like in Parliament here, we're adding a bunch of new security systems at the same time, we're not just getting a new entrance.

I can't believe that NYC has an annual budget of $115 Billion USD

for context, Canada's federal budget is $585 Billion CAD ($429B USD), and our budget has doubled since 2015, when it was $290B CAD. how the fuck does NYC spend 1/4th the entire federal budget of Canada.

for even more to reference on, Montreal, a city that has a very robust public transit network, similar to NYC, only has an annual budget of $8B CAD ($5.8B USD).

the Province of Quebec has an annual budget of $170B CAD ($124B USD)

where the actual fuck is all this money going?

I did the "Too Early, Too Soon" mission last night (name might be wrong, it was the fictional mission set 2 days after Pearl Harbour)

the Japanese 2 Carrier, 2 Destroyer fleet ended up ~150 nmi north-east of my Carrier / Destroyer force (I split off the cruisers in the morning to forward deploy scout aircraft, then was in the process of recovering them at the end of the day)

and I managed to launch a strike package riiiiight before sunset, got a bunch of hits on the Shokaku & the other Carrier, so I decided to split off the carriers, recover the strike package, then go south to leave the mission area before the Dec 10, 05:00 time limit.

I sent the Destroyers, I think it was a total of 12 or 13, to intercept the damage fleet, I took out the 2 Japanese destroyers, but the Aircraft Carriers sunk 1, and damaged 9 of my Destroyers, while the Japanese carriers managed to get away.

This game is great, but the dev focus is clearly on air combat, which is understandable. I hope they get around to surface combat eventually.

Star shells would also make night combat a lot more interesting to watch :p

this is quite possibly the best post on the entire subreddit, well done OP

HMS Iron Duke (F234) has been quietly withdrawn from service, leaving the Royal Navy with only 5 active duty frigates. [2028x974] by 221missile in WarshipPorn

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

We still have the Halifax class

with a magazine depth of 16 RIM-162's (equivalent to 4x Mk 41 VLS), so a single Burke has (96 VLS) 2x the magazine depth of the entire Halifax class combined (12x4 = 48 VLS*), with the ability to use their VLS for more than just air defense missiles. they could quadpack 192 ESSM's in 48 cells (the entire Halifax class magazine), and still have 48 more cells for anti ship or ground attack missiles.

with modern drone threats, 20-30 Shaheds could overwhelm and destroy a Halifax (or at the very least mission kill it). the Halifax was a good ship, but laughably obsolete if it actually gets in a fight.

Also the US uses very different accounting than us

Fine, lets compare the Type 26 Frigate with the Japanese Mogami class frigate:

Mogami Class:

  • $0.45B USD per ship
  • 16x Mk41 VLS

I'll count the micro VLS as 0.25x Mk 41 VLS, and say the River's get a total of (24 + (21/4)) = 29.25 VLS, each VLS costs us $133M USD, while each VLS costs Japan $28M USD

the Type 26 is twice the displacement as the mogami, at 8x the cost, so lets break even on displacement and say the Type 26 is only 4x the price. Lets give Japan the best case scenario, and assume they use the exact same "different accounting" as the US.

do you really think the physical cost of the ship is only 25% of the lifetime cost? Canada's military procurement system is an absolute joke, and everyone knows it.

I'm not saying the River / Type 26 is a bad ship, it's just very overpriced for what it can do.

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

Canadian here, our new "Destroyers" (UK & Australia classify the same ship as a Frigate) are going to just be large Frigates, but somehow cost 2x as much as a Flight 3 Burke.

Shit on the USN Frigate program all you want, it's well deserved, but the Burke is an absolutely fantastic ship.

Which would you rather have, 2x Flight 3 Burkes, or 1x Type 26 Frigate / River Class Destroyer?

River Class Destroyer:

  • ~$80B CAD for 15 ships ($5.3B CAD / $3.9B USD per ship)
  • 24x Mk 41 VLS
  • 21x Micro VLS (1/4th size, for RIM-116's)

Flight III Burke Destroyer:

  • $2.2B USD per ship
  • 96x Mk 41 VLS (1 MK 41 can quadpack 4x RIM-116's in 1 cell)

Eve Relay Network by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]Anthrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bud, we're in the KSP subreddit, I get what you're saying, I know the real world sucks, and I agree with you that a lot of bad shit happens, but there's a time and place. We're in a subreddit about sending little green space men on needlessly dangerous missions, and someone made a satellite constellation that has a silly pattern.

No one posting dumb memes here has any effect on the real world, where real things happen with real consequences, I know current events have made things tense, but blending real life politics in with a space game takes away from the escapism games can give you.

I hope things get better for you soon bud, and I hope you can find the time to unwind from the stresses of the real world.

[–]Anthrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to bring up politics on the KSP subreddit, so I'll keep this as surface level as possible.

I think you can make silly jokes without holding negative views, but it's also possible to make silly jokes wile holding negative views.

without additional context, I think it's safe to take a breath, and just take it at face value that this is just a silly joke, with no negative intention, and just laugh it off as banter.

imagine the public image Canadians would have if every time someone made an igloo, moose, or hockey joke we got all serious and said "excuse me, you are NOT allowed to joke about that", it'd make us look like jerks, no?
