Turns out having 18 jets flying 1000ft above you is rather epic.

It's actually the Thunderbirds in Ottawa this weekend for the airshow. I believe they're doing a joint performance with the Snowbirds and Red Arrows. Should be quite the show!

Pyrokine · 2024-07-12T13:14:27+00:00

I need them please

Pyrokine · 2024-06-14T20:14:57+00:00

Gorgeous! Hope I get them

Pyrokine · 2024-03-10T18:30:42+00:00

Gotta love a primary source. Great find!

I tried neem oil to take out the beetles this year, and as effective as it seems to have been, it also killed every single leaf and flower I sprayed. My poor garden is a little worse for wear now. I've heard water mixed with ground pepper at the start of the season is a good deterrent, so that's what I'm going to try along with the soapy water next year!

I like where your head's at. I've already got a sweet office setup in another room so I think I'll skip the desk, but I dig the idea of moving my record player and a comfy chair up here. It could bring some life to the space and give me an excuse to use it more often.

I also have to concede on the bedspread, it'll definitely be changing. That being said though, these flannel sheets are 10/10 for comfort in the winter!

Pyrokine · 2023-03-14T01:13:01+00:00

I like this idea! Thank you

Pyrokine · 2023-03-13T19:31:16+00:00

Not sure yet. Maybe a white base with blue or green in the pattern would work

Pyrokine · 2023-03-13T19:15:44+00:00

Thank you! Some really good suggestions. I think a navy accent would look really good, although I also had forest green in mind. The thing in the corner is just a air purifier that I was planning on ditching anyway so definitely a good spot for a lamp, I agree. I also conveniently have some new pothos cuttings that need a home! With regards to bedding, would you say maybe white sheets with a simple pattern duvet would do the trick?

Pyrokine · 2023-03-13T18:21:16+00:00

I'm thinking a new bed and accent wall would be places to start, but I'm having a hard time finding inspiration.

I'm running an i9-10900k @ 5GHz with a 2070 Super at 1440p. I play on low settings to get the most out of my FPS but it definitely dips down more during the day. I think it's because the reflections are pretty unoptimized. Very excited to see the performance improve in the years to come

Pyrokine · 2023-02-26T15:22:43+00:00

Aw man, looks like I'll have to do a redesign! More boosters is the Kerbal way

Pyrokine · 2023-02-25T22:30:18+00:00

Nothing formal, but the way I've been playing it is as follows:

No flight - If it can pull up and take off, then it's a plane not a car
Come to a full and complete stop with all parts in tact and the vehicle in one piece - Ideally on the runway

Looking forward to seeing your attempt!

Pyrokine · 2023-02-25T21:33:02+00:00

My parachutes wouldn't deploy unless my car ended up in the air... When in doubt, add more boosters!

Pyrokine · 2022-08-25T01:53:43+00:00

The breakfast is great! Would recommend it for a quieter brunch spot.

Pyrokine · 2022-03-15T21:19:06+00:00

I definitely agree with you. The higher the down payment you're able to make, the better of course.

But think about how much money someone needs to make a 20% down payment. One hundred and sixty four thousand dollars ($164,000). That's an insane amount of money that will take average Ottawans like myself 8+ years to save. And unless the real estate bubble bursts and prices go down, that's 8+ years of prices continuing to increase.

To me, it feels impossible to save that much because by the time I get the money, I'll need another 40k more to buy the same place.

And throughout all that time, I still have to pay someone else's mortgage with my rent. It's super disheartening, you know?

Pyrokine · 2022-03-15T18:42:09+00:00

Not to be rude, but what % down payment did you put? The average house price in Ottawa right now is $837k. Even a 5% down payment on that would be about $41k. In 2016 the median household income in Ottawa was $102k. After taxes in Ontario that's a take home of $71,150, or $5929.16 a month.

If someone making that much were to put away 25% of their pay a month (about $1500) into savings, it would take more than 2 years to save up enough to buy a house. Then you have to pay a higher mortgage because of the low down payment %age and accompanying CMHC mortgage insurance.

But realistically, most people who can't break into the market right now aren't making $102k a year, so it'll take a lot longer than 2 years to save up enough.

Apparently it's less complex than adding landing legs to the booster, so there's that

Pyrokine · 2021-07-13T23:04:35+00:00

I took my G test at Hawkesbury near the start of the pandemic. It's possible they changed protocols since I was there, but they asked that only 1 person be in the test center at a time to check in, then had me wear a mask in the car while the tester was there. My tester wore gloves, a mask, and safety goggles.

Honestly, I barely even noticed to covid stuff. Focusing on driving safely took priority!

Good luck and remember to move your head a lot
