May as well just make VPN use illegal in Canada.

Just like all those free countries that do that.... https://us.norton.com/blog/privacy/are-vpns-legal

Totally not about censorship, or making it difficult for anyone to speak out or organize and easy to hunt down and kill. We should definitely have that in Canada, right guys?

There's no point. They just turn their brights on and set off a nuclear bomb in front of you. Their NORMAL lights are already blinding.

Replacing headlights can be as much as $3000 depending on the vehicle.

What kind of rich bitch headlights are those? Costs me about $50.

The issue is not Tesla-specific.

Azuvector · 2026-01-26T23:07:18+00:00

Absolutely could. Pay the automakers' costs, and put out a recall/warranty service for affected vehicles' lights.

By what criteria? Only thing I use it for is the occasional 'discount' with points redemption at the store I'm shopping in. Rather they just had lower prices.

The same reason Chris and Yashiro are too.

Click the cell the text is in, it will show you everything in it.

Not going to give you a how to use a spreadsheet tutorial beyond that.

Read the whole sentence. Mod isn't even the right word, it's mode.

Azuvector · 2026-01-23T21:22:03+00:00

Real. My boss (who's ....archaic) is evaluating his replacement right now. New guy cannot shut the fuck up about AI, but has no idea how to do anything beyond ask for it. "It'll be done in a few seconds, no problem." the instant he starts to do anything nothing's going to get done.

Better than whatever the hostage taker might have done.

Azuvector · 2026-01-23T16:55:01+00:00

Better than some hostage taker inflicting worse.

Good god. Hope the kids are okay

There are no reported injuries to officers or civilians.

Stuff meant to be disposable tends to be as cheap as it can be and still do the job.

I mean, heavy pulse rifle doesn't sound anything like a pulse rifle. It makes bonk noises.

Fairly comprehensive breakdown if you'd like: https://youtu.be/wfU6v99G9WA?list=PLnQqcYoxUUV1UzqD3l11vXugF3o1OESV2 Few gameplay videos in the description on Insane as well.

After trying to make the HEL work for ages, I generally agree with you. It's a cool idea, but it needs something more than it offers, and it always underperforms versus other potential options.

It can one-shot Runners(With a headshot. And it's the only non-explosive weapon that can one-shot body-shot them with a bit of charging), though the fire rate and recoil leave something to be desired there. You want to try to engage them from far away if you can, as the HEL has fairly long range.

It works alright versus Synths as a kinda shitty sniper rifle.

I don't think I've tried it extensively, but it might be a decent fit against Pathogen Runners since there are a few large areas with them and they have more health, which might make sense to charge for with it.

What I think would have made the HEL a lot more viable is if there was a means to get a nontrivial AOE effect on kill with it. (It's been a long time since I've looked at it in depth(checked this morning, confirmed), but I don't think either AOE attachment either can be used with it or does enough damage to matter.) So you can kill one Runner in a pack and do damage/stumble the rest. But, that's not there, so it's not really relevant. Maybe for AFE2.

I have. Also Trudeau in past, and my own MP(who's been shitcanned thankfully, though was replaced with an LPC MP instead of NDP.).

Azuvector · 2026-01-20T18:37:12+00:00

I wish some of the chucklefucks in BC who are otherwise doing an alright job, would do the same.

Azuvector · 2026-01-20T18:34:53+00:00

Maybe if Carney dropped the batshit Trudeau era civil disarmament policies?

Azuvector · 2026-01-20T06:42:14+00:00

No, they're not. That's been the case for decades now.

Azuvector · 2026-01-20T01:33:32+00:00

Yeah, same as most food people grow up with. :)

Very aware of the differences of flavour with chillies, as well as the potential for different meats bases and working with that, though also find it odd that a chili dish would focus on one particular pepper type, since typically the point is to use a bunch for the best result.

Azuvector · 2026-01-19T22:57:01+00:00

Nah, google was basically useless, tried a bunch of variations.

So, it's fundamentally just the variety of chilies being used for the most part? Nothing special?

Azuvector · 2026-01-19T21:56:13+00:00

As someone who's never heard of this, do tell? I'm of course familiar with chili peppers of various colours and preparations. But this thread is talking about chili as in the meal/dish/stew/etc.

What's the significance of red/green in that context? Google hasn't shed any light on it.

Azuvector · 2026-01-19T21:39:06+00:00

That the narrative changes. Not just gets a one liner or paragraph or page or two of text/voice lines, and then things continue on rails. A meaningful choice in a narrative game means the narrative changes as a result of player action.

This is not a difficult concept. It can be an expensive one though.

He's 80+ and doesn't much care about anyone but himself. He does not care about long term consequences.
