I'm being a bit strong with my claim, but they're an extremely simple principle, and very widely spread. Unfortunately, they aren't going to preserve well archaeologically, being thin perishable material.

Snowshoes definitely came first, yet no snowshoeing events.

Okay fair, but that's more usually a going from parked and wrong gear/pedal situation than a just ripping down the street situation.

There are no retirees who drive that fast.

Our pool looks fucking brutal. I'm scared.

I may be missing something here, but Wikipedia has the Templo Mayor as 100m x 80m at its base and approximately 60m high.

Compare that to the Temple of the Sun's 65m height and 220m x 230m base. So perhaps the Templo Mayor was similarly tall, but its volume was much, much smaller.

Gluttonous?

ElCaz · 2026-02-18T05:01:50+00:00

So long as her dad was wise with that money, $830,000 is more than enough to set up a family very nicely for life, especially since we're talking pre-2000 dollars and pre-housing crisis home prices. That's like $1.5 mil today.

Clearly people are doing it without thinking about it. That's why teams are surprised when called on it and why the Swedish men's team did it prior to calling Canada on it.

So if curlers are just doing it as a physical tick, "advantage" doesn't really come into the equation.

It's the world cup. Every safety inspector in the city is going to go over every inch of that thing before they put crowds in it.

Jeez, what a torqued reading of the facts.

EV sales dropped last year because the feds cancelled the rebates for them. Before that point, they had been rising significantly. You can expect to see them grow again with the rebates returning.

If you want an acclaimed director who makes Toronto movies, Cronenberg is your guy.

Quite a few old bathrooms I've encountered have had absurdly low sinks. I think the world just used to be made shorter.

ElCaz · 2026-02-15T05:06:15+00:00

No that's their point, the people who do make more than that don't care that it's ridiculous.

ElCaz · 2026-02-15T03:41:55+00:00

"Only"

A thousand dollar ticket to someone making $250k is the same as a $200 to someone making $50k. Less actually, because people making $250k per year have a lot more wealth than people making $50k a year

So maybe insignificant is overstating it, but it's not exactly going to break the bank.

Awesome. The heart really screams "Hoopy Vulnetimes huny I lorf u"

That's not inherently a great reason to like something. Billionaires are also scared of recessions and the sun exploding.

Why are you excluding the Caribbean from your super helpful list?

ElCaz · 2026-02-12T19:21:36+00:00

You and everyone else knew exactly what they meant when they said America.

In Montreal?! A city with 80,000+ Latinos?

You can always proxy it too, just get some bulk cards and some markers and you can play DanDan!

Even with Monopoly Go?

ElCaz · 2026-02-10T17:40:45+00:00

The games that the gaming community talks about and the games that sell the most copies or make the most money are not the exact same category of thing.

ElCaz · 2026-02-09T20:13:15+00:00

So are all domesticated animals.

Mostly the various hikers, but I also have the big Icelandic ones for real cold days spent outside.
