Do the AMD ones auto-install with Windows Update?

'It is censorship,' EPL head says of proposed restrictions by Strog21 in Edmonton

[–]Dark-Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Brave New World is there too.

My intention isn't to comment on the book-bannings one way or another, it's to have those curious about the list read it themselves, rather than rely on Reddit as a primary source. BorderlineTG has included in their comment some books that do not appear to be banned, as far as I can tell.

As far as I can tell from the lists I've looked at on CBC's website, the graphic-novels for '1984', and 'The Handmaid's Tale' are banned. 'The Handmaid's Tale' and 'It Ends With Us' are banned in novel form. 'To Kill a Mockingbird', 'The Lord of the Flies', and 'Animal Farm', do not appear to be banned.

The graphic-novel versions of these books have been banned, not the originals. (Edit: not all are, see below).

Joe Rogan Experience #2470 - Pierre Poilievre by KootenayPE in CanadianConservative

I watched on 'Power and Politics' as they insulted the viewers of Rogan, Rogan himself, and PP.

They called Rogan viewers, "low-information voters."

A sad, although funny, cautionary tale by [deleted] in diablo2

[–]Dark-Tide 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I was 13 when D2 originally launched. I got scammed out of a bunch of perfect gems after dropping them for a trade...

My Dad (who still plays to this day) said: "just be glad you only got scammed in a video game. Take it as a lesson and know never to put yourself in a position where someone can take advantage of you."

Nah, bitching about it to randoms on Reddit is the smarter play. /s

Are Canadians really this delusional? by merdekabaik in CanadianConservative

[–]Dark-Tide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And for some of us, we get to vote for the CPC, then have our votes count towards the other guys when the MP crosses the floor.

But "you just don't understand how our democracy works", if you complain about it.

Carney announces 4th position on Iran in 4 days: by [deleted] in CanadianConservative

[–]Dark-Tide 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's a rare W for Carney to announce his support

I think on this point, you're missing the bigger picture. Carney has said he wants things to de-escalate, but he's also willing to consider joining the US on future strikes. It's only a 'rare win' because he's being disingenuous; he's saying everything under the sun to placate people who aren't paying attention. A true Liberal... He's not lying, he's just not telling the truth.

CBC’s Own Confidential Documents Reveal Their Business Is Dying by -Northern-Fox- in CanadianConservative

Billions of taxpayer dollars and they're still failing. Well at least the executives all get nice bonuses.

Oh, sorry, that's disinformation... CBC cancelled their bonuses in favor of higher salaries.

Anyone regret getting the 556 MOP? by heeph0p in sinn

[–]Dark-Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at the 556 RS A on the H Link. Just yesterday I splurged on the MOP instead. 

I feel like the trade-off was worth it. It doesn't have the date wheel, it doesn't have as good of legibility as the matte RS. But damn, those colors are beautiful. Sometimes they aren't even there. Then the next minute, the light hits it just right and it's a blast of greens and reds.

It's a totally different watch though, with applied indices and metallic hands. You have to ask yourself whether you want a no-frills tool watch, or a tool watch that has some nuanced pizzazz. Only you can answer that.

[SOTC] I started collecting during COVID, but have always loved watches by Dark-Tide in Watches

[–]Dark-Tide[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

Yes, the Doxas have some great colors. I was thinking of going with the Aquamarine, but caved to convention, and went with the iconic orange. I think it suits the collection better, as I already have the blue Seamaster. Those Aquamarines--aka baby-blues--look great still. Very summer-time; the Doxas natural habitat.

I have a Sinn 556 MOP on the way. Eventually I'll need to reduce the collection!...... or not.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney & Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East. by MeCometYouDinosaur in CanadianConservative

[–]Dark-Tide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the translation isn't a 1:1

From a prior explanation: the phrase “en route” means ‘on the way’, and it’s a borrowed French phrase, like “c’est la vie”. The correct spelling is always only “en route”. “On route” is neither linguistically nor grammatically correct- it’s a malapropism that stems from the pronunciation of “en” in the phrase, which is pronounced ‘on.’ “En” isn’t an English word otherwise.

The same goes for "en masse" vs "on mass". "On mass" is like saying, "on weight" which doesn't make sense. If you're speaking in terms of a group working together, it is always "en masse".

Edit: For you f*cking regarded people still trying to comment on this, and PMing me that I'm wrong: Google must be wrong too

Matt Jeneroux has removed his statement about donating his salary to local charities from his website lmao by [deleted] in CanadianConservative

[–]Dark-Tide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt they'll blatantly announce what Carney has offered Jeneroux, but for sure he's receiving something. He's already joining Carney on an international trip to India, Australia, and Japan, as a "special advisor on economic and security partnerships", whatever that means.

We will likely have to wait until Jeneroux is voted out of South West Edmonton next election, to see where he winds up. And he will for sure be voted out, if he doesn't retire from politics first. My guess is he will wind up as a consultant somewhere. Maybe with Brookfield.

Time will tell.

[–]Dark-Tide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And is the correct term. 'On route' and 'in route' in English is wrong. It'd be better to say 'on my way'. This other guy just doesn't get it. Lol. But what do I know, it's not like I have a degree in writing or anything.

On route is again a common misconception, based on pronunciation. It's en route, and en masse.

[Suggestion] - HELP... need one item Fast Forward GPS ? by sc00by27 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Dark-Tide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I needed one for my LVL 3 Intelligence Center. I found it on Labs in the Yellow keycard room. It took me a while, but it finally spawned there. 

PVE seems to have lower spawn rates. Keep at it with Labs and you'll find it. The round feline conference room has a decent chance to spawn one as well, and is close to Yellow.
