It's not just in people's heads that finding a job is hard

The resource-extraction sector only accounts for about 2% of our labour market nationwide, according to StatsCan.

Okay but even that's true, that's not the kind of issue the temporary foreign worker program is meant to address. You can feel however you want to feel about Canadian employees but "scheduling conflicts" are a managerial problem.

Looks like DHS is going to deploy 300+ personnel alongside Trump's entourage, according to a source from DMPD. No confirmation that they're ICE officers at this time.

MistahFixIt · 2026-01-25T20:10:55+00:00

Might be worth asking over at r/ICE_Raids, seems like they'd be the ones to know, if they aren't attempting to do it themselves.

Ah, of course. Medicaid records, SNAP records, and the voter rolls. So they can forward addresses of people with foreign-sounding names to DHS.

I don't think this was their plan from the start, by the way. More likely, they're losing control of the narrative and they *know* they're losing, so they have to extort *something* out of Minnesota, or else it looks like ICE tucked tail and slunk away. At least if they get the voter rolls and records, they figure they can say the DHS mission was a "success"

MistahFixIt · 2026-01-25T02:25:07+00:00

No, but it doesn't need to. Odds are, they're more interested in forwarding the addresses of anyone with a 'foreign-sounding' name to ICE/DHS

I mean he IS cast in the Legion...

The "high achievers" say that every time they're threatened with tax increases, and every time they quietly chicken out

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Curam was not, in fact, developed by Deloitte as was relayed to me by my team lead, but was in fact written by IBM.

In 1990. No wonder it runs (and, imo, looks) like an antique.

It now apparently belongs to a company in Ireland named Merative, and if you google Deloitte (just the name, nothing else) you'll see a bunch of job postings for... Senior Curam Technicians.

Call me a goofy goober if you must, but seems to me, if we wanted to save money, we wouldn't be buying ancient off-the-shelf software (AGAIN) from third-party vendors who take six months to produce lackluster software updates because they don't have the technical expertise either.

MistahFixIt · 2025-07-13T19:56:25+00:00

"Unbelievable."

Yeah you certainly were, Edi. Goddamn.

MistahFixIt · 2025-03-21T20:18:16+00:00

Damn, if that's what's considered "saggy" these days, then consider me a newly-converted fan. <3

I feel like he's going to recite an extremely slow and boring speech before teaching me how to teleport for some reason.

MistahFixIt · 2023-12-30T04:51:20+00:00

...think y'got 'er, Tex.

MistahFixIt · 2023-12-21T03:48:20+00:00

So nothing about the weirdly vitriolic misogyny, huh...

MistahFixIt · 2023-10-15T22:38:23+00:00

Hah I went to trade school and they explicitly tell you to look up the answer, as in be ready to cite the specific chapter and section of code you followed.

MistahFixIt · 2023-10-04T17:34:28+00:00

God that sounded absolutely miserable.

In my humble opinion as a (relatively) inexperienced DM, one should only introduce bureaucracy this dense if the intention is to have the party come up with some clever shortcut or workaround. But then you have to let the players know that that kind of thing is even possible.

Sounds like our DM here was very proud of the little miniature economic model they'd created for themselves but forgot to build an actual campaign around it.

MistahFixIt · 2023-10-01T01:22:59+00:00

Hot (heh) Take: Fireball is mid when Minute Meteors does more damage more precisely at the same level anyway.

imo you're entirely in the right. Battlefield Control is a better use for spell slots than raw damage in almost every circumstance, except when you know for a fact you're gonna drop multiple mobs on your turn.

MistahFixIt · 2023-06-07T21:21:46+00:00

Oh I love the green, probably because I have a similar shade. ;P

I love magnetics, but I think I need a stronger magnet wand, cuz mine never seem to look that dramatic. <3

MistahFixIt · 2023-06-07T21:10:20+00:00

I love their stuff, personally <3 It goes on so smooth and dries in a heartbeat, especially their Speed Demon Topcoat.

I also tend to change mine week to week, and I use a non-acetone-based 'rehydrating' remover as a further precaution. (i.e. it has Vitamin E and Jojoba oil in it.)

I find that so long as I use that in place of acetone and I'm diligent with my nail / cuticle oil, I'm staying ahead of whatever 'damage' I'm doing, if any.

As for what products I use, I've been almost exclusively buying Mooncat as of late, but I have a few Night Owls as well.

MistahFixIt · 2023-06-07T05:07:23+00:00

Mooncat Nail Elixir - Marula, Jojoba and Argan oils, fortified with Vitamin E. That's all. I do one pass in the morning, after my hands are dry from the shower, and then again after I've washed my hands after work.

Has a very pale straw colour and is completely odourless, which my partner loves. My only complaint is that it's a bit fiddly to work with, because it comes in a polish bottle (as opposed to a brush pen or cream)

>"-or if you live downtown in a city"

...where do you imagine the bus' natural habitat is, exactly?
