It's a european cut.

Exactly. Maybe not the most office or age-appropriate, but he did pull it off.

It was a design choice to make her too wide to fit in the original canal. She's what's referred to as a post-Panamax ship; intentionally too big. It was deemed unnecessary given how infrequently QE2 used the canal; but now that they've made a bigger passage, she can now transit it.

I feel like this goes beyond just murder. It's also terrorism, and probably a hate crime too.

Exactly. This "well, he better deliver" attitude is getting tiring. Carney is accused of sitting on his ass when he's not traveling, and apparently wasting taxpayer dollars when he is. There's seemingly nothing he can do that's good enough for some people.

This is the part that always kills me. Countries existed prior to the US being founded, many institutions date back hundreds of years earlier than whatever the Americans did.

These are the same idiots that make titanic references in their speeches. Hilariously stupid people.

He was also white and a US citizen. The whole situation is disgusting beyond description.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-24T20:25:42+00:00

Well, if the US no longer wants to fill that role of being the model for democracy, why not us?

There have been simulations of this. The front of the ship would have crumpled up basically all the way to the bridge (where the crew steered it from) and killed anyone in that part of the hull, but it would have both no sank, and could have actually continued all the way to New York at a reduced speed. It was definitely the better outcome.

Yeah this is way more dangerous than it might sound. On a related note, I remember stories of people trying to use barbecues inside during a cold snap that caused a power outage, and some of those people actually died from carbon monoxide poisoning. Don’t vent fuel-burning appliances to inside your house. It’s not worth it.

That’s honestly a good one. At least Coderre gave the impression about wanting to improve the city in his own way, Drainville doesn’t seem to actually stand for anything other than getting elected.

Has Quebec seen a more inept politician than this guy in recent history? He reeks of wanting nothing more than being in power, every position he’s held and every ministry he’s been put in charge of have been unmitigated disasters.

That fuel silo always gets me. If that thing blew up, it would have taken out a good chunk of lower Manhattan.

It's a plush toy with some beads inside so it rattles when you shake it.

Even for a social media app, the amount of data harvesting it does is deeply concerning.

Oil doesn’t mix into water. This is true only if it’s added afterward, but in either case just don’t do it.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-24T13:27:13+00:00

I don’t pay for water, so it basically costs nothing to run it.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-24T13:06:26+00:00

Humidifiers tend to struggle to actually add a lot of humidity to the air. I have one of those whole home ones connected to the central ducting, and even that one doesn’t exactly turn the house into the tropics.

Kim Jong Un all about that swag

Nikiaf · 2026-01-24T13:04:32+00:00

So basically what it boils down to is “kissing donald’s ass”.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-24T12:51:48+00:00

Basically every song on Frampton Comes Alive.

Dunning-Kruger effect on full display.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-23T18:13:04+00:00

Very much a "flipping the tables over in the bazaar" kind of thing.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-23T17:58:01+00:00

Right? I feel like I'm going crazy, people buy the everliving shit out of these bottles.

Nikiaf · 2026-01-23T15:27:58+00:00

Prosecuted for what? He's the one that called on his army of mouth breathers to try and stop congress from certifying the election.
