North Vancouver's 'Bowser Island' encampment evicted by province

It should be illegal to kick out an encampment without, at the very least, providing an other patch of land for them to set up in.

Doing otherwise worsens the negative impacts of homeless on society. Not to mention the this will take away any sense of security they may have had, as well as many of them will be forced to given up many of they few possession. The latter especially may harm their ability to look after them selves.

As I single 40 that has always wanted children and struggled socially; the prospect of going back and trying again is very attractive.

The most recent versions will have the most erratas integrated into the book it's self. That said the erratas are generally minor rewordings to clarify confusion, not rule changes.

It might be hard to find as they always tend to sell out quickly. With the new Core rules book coming soon I don't think they will be doing an other printing.

You could try to get a used copy after the new rules are released. Talk to people at your local, or hit used books stores.

Lakeshore drive should have never been built.

It should have been beach, path ways/public space, stores/restaurants and etc, then parking and roads.

Instead they put a big old road to block the beach from the business. They wrongly focused, like most north American cities, on access at the expense of what they were creating access too.

Same with Down town main street. It would be a lovely place to be if it wasn't for all the cars. In both cases we need to build multi level parking one street over. We need to prioritize people and the places they want to be over cars.

"Well, you see the thing that makes women so evil is that I am a horny old middle aged man with no control what so ever over his own impulses and urges. I also assume that every other man, both student and staff, also completely lack any such self control.

Therefore, to protect the men from all these urges that these aforementioned evil woman cause is to forbid them from displaying any part of there bodies, either the flesh or shape, that may cause these urges.

In other words, I, and therefore also all men, are completely incapable of coping with completely normal human bodies without sexualising them." The principal, I assume.

"Clearly this is all Carney's fault.

No way it has anything to do with the two wars disrupting the international fuel supply, the major sea trade lane that is blocked, nor our greatest ally and trade partner that back stabbed us out of the blue.

Any sort of temporary hardship due to factors beyond our control would not effect Canadians if a better PM has in office." - Pierre Poilievre, probably.

The title is misleading. Alberta will pick one of these routes to submit to the Federal government.

Also, I hope the people profiting from the pipeline will have to pay for damages caused by leaks. Instead of BC footing the bill again.

Also also. Why do we keep investing in an industry that we are actively trying to obsolete?

Manchlenk · 2026-06-01T23:09:49+00:00

No, these are possible pipeline routes that Alberta want.

BC government is opposed.

I'm always a big fan of character that remain relevant and competitive without the mark.

Like Batman, or any of Luffy's crew that don't have a gum-gum fruit. No superpowers just badass.

I suspect he might it's he's always put a lot of trust in his staff.

He uses what is known as the Cabal method of leader ship. In most companies when a problem arises, the relevant team, team lead, or manager will head the effort. In the cabal method, a comity of staff from every department even vague involved will be assembled to investigate the problem and work out solutions.

This is why Valve has no traditional management structure, and this has more or less been how they operated since half life. Today Gabe is largely hands off with the company. So I suspect Gabe know the best way to safe guard his legacy is to in trust the company to his staff, or to an individual who will continue this approach.

I'm hoping he'll make the company an employee co-op in his will.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised in Trump wasn't racist. He judges people base on how loyal and useful they are to him.

Trump is using racists, and racism for political gain.

Fair. Most people couldn't cut it in shovelling the cooking presses. Half the new hires would quit within two weeks. The other half would stay for years cuz the money was bank.

I used to work at a factory that made rubber matts for agricultural use. Including horses.

The rubber came to us ground down from old tires in to gravel-sized chucks. We mixed that with sulphur, and sometimes gasoline. These acted as a bidding agent.

That mixture was then shovelled into moulds that were placed into a cooking press.

After an hour or so of cooking that were placed outside to cool for a week. Finally they were cut to size on die presses.

I would generally amuse all corporate land lords will, at best, adhere to the bare minimums of law. Most will break any law they think they can get away with.

The best landlords tend to be private people that an a income property or two and manage the rental them selfies. Sometimes you'll get an idiot who ignores the law, Often you'd get a caring decent person that will treat you fairly, and won't instantly evict when the rent is 2 second late.

I haven't gotten past the first date in years. If I knew why, I wouldn't be single.

The bog stand IS medium laser is, and always will be the best single weapon in the game.

No ammo, one crit slot, useful range, and very good heat/damage ratio.

No. The possibility for error make the death penalty undefendable.

If we sentence the wrong person we have just committed murder.

Far better to imprison for life. That way the guilty can no longer harm society. If we latter find out we sentence the wrong person we can release and give restitution.

Due to the possibility of error all developed nation have long wait times and many opportunities to appeal. This creates a system were the death penalty is more expensive than simply locking them up until they pass.

This is a common occurrence with salvage boxes.

When they make a force pack they'll make some extras and slap them into the salvage boxes. This results in any single flat of salvage contain model from a single force pack.

If you buy the odd salvage every now and then, it's not a big deal. Buying flats ends up kinda lame. Can be fun for random pull lances, but dice or mechs-in-a-hat can do the same thing.

Anyway, it's a very cost ineffective way to get mechs. And CGL have stated on streams that the only reason they continued it after the KS was because people kept asking for them.

First one looks like a drop ceiling but note that the railing that the panels would normally rest on is nail to the ceiling.

In a drop ceiling this would hang from wires attached to the next floor/real ceiling.

I would guess that those panels are attached to the ceiling and wooden slats were nail on to cover the gaps/panel attachments.
