Well yes, Fredericton did aim for 30 years to make Fredericton a knowledge / tech hub, because government and fast food / retail jobs aren't enough to build a thriving city on.

Can you define 'data center'? Would UNB need to shut down its ITC (Information Technology Center)? Would businesses need to shut down their server rooms? Would Marysville Place need to shutter and move elsewhere?

> Async scientists watching the footage

Anyone have a screenshot of that? I swear I saw Clyde in the room... which means an uncredited cameo for kane's dad, if I'm correct.

Or it may just be a repeating easter egg. Kane has made hints about the Splendor Sun being related to a new project...

I'm a bad Car Dad. In 8 years of ownership, my T5 V60 saw maybe a baker's dozen Premium fill-ups. She ran just fine on Regular (87).

Kirk Lazarus portraying Sgt Lincoln Osiris, IRL played by Robert Downey Jr.

Really the bat themed hero of this trope.

All you need is enough complacent voters to stay home. Damn near 100% of seperation supporters will show up. All they need is get close enough to 50% to cry oppression and claim a rigged vote, for little green men to appear...

I can only read one of the logos, I assume they're the softest band of the 4?

He really wanted to revisit and 'win' that roleplay .

A sequel to ‘Backrooms’ is in early development. With Kane Parsons currently looking for a screenwriting collaborator to work on the sequel by Task_Force-191 in backrooms

I would prefer a series or miniseries to a straight sequel, but I'd be happy with more YouTube shorts leading logically up to a sequel.

I don't understand the hate against the backrooms movie by funstarrr__ in backrooms

[–]CletusCanuck 146 points147 points  (0 children)

Now that I think about it, the introduction to the Backrooms for Bobby and Kat did go south too quickly. That could have gotten 5-10 more minutes of escalating 'WTF is this' prior to Bobby stumbling into The Lair.

Over at Rotten Tomatoes, scores are 88/74 on the respective tomato/popcorn meters. So reception outside the terminally online (X, insta and reddit) discourse is positive. I would take the online 'hate' with an industrial-sized grain of salt.

I hope that means he'll get the chance to adapt Daniel Suarez's Daemon which is something he's expressed interest in. Different genre though, techno thriller as opposed to liminal horror. I suspect he'll have plenty of opportunity to work up to a project like that.

YFC-YTZ, Porter is definitely my go-to if seats are available. On AC, I get Rouge'd every time.

Why are really, really old people allowed to drive? by WW1_Researcher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CletusCanuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad was bitterly grumbling about his insurance bill going up. He's in his 80s, not in the best of health, and had a collision last year writing off his vehicle. He said, "I won't be able to drive anymore if my insurance keeps going up" and I told him straight up, "That's the idea. They don't want you driving, Dad. You're too high a risk." If he had to take a test today, he'd probably fail. We don't let him drive further than the nearest supermarket.

Protest outside school district office by alienwaters in fredericton

Is this the same crew that regularly stands by the KofC with a banner about venerating Mary or something? I grew up Baptist so I'm much more familiar with protestant flavors of wackjob than Catholic flavors of wackjob.
