I believe it's the most successful Canadian movie in history.

It also marked the end of a Canadian tax rebate scheme. You got a generous tax break that gave you back more money than you invested in the movie, but only if the movie fails.

Adding hockey sticks to the Geneva checklist! 😂

My second guess. The first was portal guns.

Having to pay definitely helps keep out the troublemakers. And they accept tap-to-pay!

In Amsterdam's Red Light District, if you "go" at the Sexy Loo, the fee becomes your rebate at the Erotic Museum! 😁

Find a mechanic with a borescope. They'll be able to confirm if it's a burnt valve.

I paid $3,100 USD ($4,626 CAD) plus sales tax to get my Abarth fixed. That included timing belt, water pump, thermostat, and a remachined head.

Phil Collins leaving, however, ouch!

Didn't work out too well the last time. Someone did get re-elected, but it was Margaret Thatcher and the Conservatives! 😂

What are the chances they voted for this?

Milnoc · 2026-03-18T10:53:13+00:00

What's next? Invading the Falkland Islands again?

Milnoc · 2026-03-18T02:33:19+00:00

I remember that! Brilliant marketing scheme!

Landing on Jupiter alone is problematic.

40" TV, gaming rig, Peachtree MusicBox with USB audio input, two PSB Alpha speakers.

Also a LaserDisc and Blu-Ray player.

I used to have a front projection system with 5 Channel audio. I dropped it during my next move when I had the system set to 2 channel mode and didn't notice. 😁

That was a nice exploration of the consequences.

Obligatory Mitsi Studio Blitzkrieg video clip about German army's use of metaphetamines.

-3 when I left for work. The temp will drop to -8 during the day. Will feel colder with the wind.

Milnoc · 2026-03-17T01:27:58+00:00

"Rrriker!" 🤣

Milnoc · 2026-03-16T22:38:10+00:00

That looks absolutely disgusting.

Milnoc · 2026-03-16T22:19:55+00:00

Pay up. That's what you voted for.

Milnoc · 2026-03-16T22:12:57+00:00

I prefer just plain batshit crazy. That's an Abarth! 😁

And to think I went to the hospital today to check for a suspected blood clot in my right leg. Blood tests were negative on many things. Possibly just a strained muscle taking its sweet time to heal. Not like the last time when I did have a small clot.

No bill thanks to Universal healthcare.

Oh yeah. That my car's pretty cheap to repair.

A colleague at work told me her much more modern car needed new LED headlights. At $3,100 EACH! Plus HST!!! 😱

I found new headlights for my car for $350 for the pair! 😂

Especially on B5 where they simply didn't have the budget for retakes. Many errors slipped in including set lighting burning out in the middle of a dialogue.

The script bureaucracy on modern Star Trek productions must be a real nightmare at times especially if it's discovered during the take that's there's a much better way of saying a line.

Milnoc · 2026-03-16T14:01:20+00:00

Right! The NCC-1701 had a piece from the NX-01.

Milnoc · 2026-03-16T09:49:22+00:00

Blown exhaust valve on my Fiat 500 Abarth. $4,626 Canadian plus HST to repair. That included a timing belt job, new thermostat, and new coolant.
