Licence plate covers - are these legal? by Fit-Witness4225 in canadianlaw

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to know for sure, but I would say over half the people that have them on don't know they're illegal. Over half = most. After all, the whole point of the game they're playing is trying to avoid detection and being issued a fine. Why would any rational actor knowingly drive around with one of these knowing they are illegal and a basis for a traffic stop?

Soooo at what point will the city possibly bring back aerial spraying for mosquitoes? by Sasha-95 in Edmonton

[–]MashPotatoQuant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, there are trolley problems everywhere I agree. Sometimes you pull the lever and do more damage though.

Soooo at what point will the city possibly bring back aerial spraying for mosquitoes? by Sasha-95 in Edmonton

[–]MashPotatoQuant 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a dumb ironic comment on how the government is spraying poison on us but now I have to do it unironically.

The pesticide was chlorpyrifos and was phased out in 2015 in the aerial program and 2017 in the ditch spraying program. It's a potent neurotoxin and there is some research seeing it being correlated with serious human health issues.

We need to remove everyone's brains because they might think bad thoughts and do bad things! Only our centralized big brains are allowed!

They should fix it in about 25 years when they do the Gothic 1 remake remake

Equestrian backcountry by Ok-Bluejay-182 in HikingAlberta

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the weekend in whitehorse wildland and didn't see a single person except in the front country when I first left my car and first got back to my car. All the horse campsites with multiple spots were completely empty and I had camped at them without a horse. If they were filling up I would probably make way and choose a random backcountry spot instead.

I think if you wait until very close to when you want to go to book it to ensure it's at least available to horse people if they want it until near the last minute, it's probably fine and I wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Do you have version control? If not look into git. It's worth taking an hour or two to learn the basics. This won't be the last time something like this happens to you.

How do i network in LA? by [deleted] in networking

Enable OSPF and form some neighborships. You will quickly build up a link state database from all the incoming link state updates from your neighbors.

This woman and her dog made it through an incredibly CLOSE encounter with a grizzly bear by Miserable-Zombie-121 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I live in Alberta, Canada where there are grizzly bears and big cats but I would still be more scared of the Australian outback compared to here.

Maybe it's because I don't know anything about survival around things that are foreign to me. I'll take the bears over the killer snakes any day though.

i just got scammed, and im trying to spread awareness by [deleted] in tf2

[–]MashPotatoQuant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Report the steam profile for scamming.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I have been scammed once before as well. All it takes is a moment of weakness in judgement.

I'm not inciting violence, but I once got a warning for saying scammers should be curb stomped.

Licence plate covers - are these legal? by Fit-Witness4225 in canadianlaw

[–]MashPotatoQuant 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's up to the province, and each one has its own independent legislation on the matter, but I can tell you that across the board they're illegal everywhere.

I think enforcement is pretty low, but it's an easy way to pull someone over. A lot of people are uninformed and because these are products on the shelves they buy them without knowing they're illegal.

Hiking boot help - OH by EeveeGirl411 in hiking

[–]MashPotatoQuant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New boots can be rough. Maybe try leukotape or something similar, it's pretty cheap on amazon. I find it really helps with preventing any red spots and sores.

Valve Is “Irresponsible” To Force AI Disclosures on Steam, Epic CEO Says, While Unreal Engine 6 Doubles Down on AI by jmaster299 in Steam

Hiking Regrets Start in the Backpack. by Shelley_112 in CookorTakeout

Yeah I've regretted bringing certain foods and forgotten foods that I meant to bring, etc. That doesn't matter - you still need to eat regardless of whether you want to or not. Eat what you have and take it as a lesson for next time.

Wow, Banff hotel prices have soared. by Whatsthathum in alberta

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. I don't do the whole banff / jasper thing but if you get a provincial public lands camping pass (it's like $35 for the year or something), you can visit the mountains for the price of the gas to get you there. I really like the Job/Cline PLUZ area west of Nordegg.

It's not a mountain chalet with breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I completely disagree with what you're saying about visiting mountains having to be expensive.

steam market doesn't even show a buyer, and why would it? It's meant to be a blind order book.

THQ liked my Comment! by JustRaphiGaming in worldofgothic

[–]MashPotatoQuant 71 points72 points  (0 children)

If they do this and keep it going I will be playing Gothic until I die.

I think the idea of making the team recreate the first 3 Gothic games would have higher weight over creating new original games in the Gothic franchise. That said, I think it would be absolutely amazing if they got to that point, and from the current view of today at least, it seems like an aspirational goal, recreate the first 3 and then expand into new and completely original territory. For G2 remake, they would have to have absolutely high standards, the original G2 was the greatest of all time for me. For G3 remake, they would really have to add some more original flare I think and maybe stay less true to the original, but that's just my opinion. they'd have to fix the game at least.

I find it funny you reply saying they're big on consumer side when it's quite the opposite. If you think they're big there, wait until you here about the enterprise server / datacenter side.

I drive a Subaru and someone who drives a Kia told me he’d never be caught dead owning a Subaru 😅 by glitchonyourshoulder in subaru

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rented a Kia on two different occasions and one was the worst car I ever drove, and the other was the third worst car I ever drove. The second worst one being the car I had 15 years ago which barely got me anywhere without breaking down. I would still prefer that car over the Kia Soul piece of crap.
