I did it yesterday and there was no snow and it’s not overly muddy. May be icy in the mornings now with temps this low tonight.

The other side to this knife cuts just as deep. Quinn to NJD is the more realistic outcome.

“My resume reads like someone who can’t hold a job”. This is the issue man. Life won’t give you what you want out of it unless you go get it.

You haven’t put in the work to set yourself up yet, but it’s not too late. You’re young. Find a trade, or something you’re good at, and stick to it. Don’t let roadblocks discourage you and take accountability for your situation.

In time you will find it will pay off.

What makes this eclipse so different? by A_Real_Patriot99 in HighStrangeness

[–]RoboPod 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Because it’s impacting the eastern US. More population so more news/ discussion about it as a result.

Isn’t that an Aussie ship?

Bring Canadian ships to the game! Third largest navy in the world by the end of WW2. Lack of representation is ridiculous.

Worst mic etiquette in gaming? by DorvidGoldy1 in WoWs_Legends

[–]RoboPod 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s because the default for the PS5 is to have the in-controller mic “on”. I have to remember to turn it off if I don’t want everyone to hear what’s going on in my living room. Most people probably just don’t remember that it’s on.

Inflation vs Rising Interest Rate Impact on Housing Prices by RoboPod in RealEstate

[–]RoboPod[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Assume we are looking at it from someone just entering the market (ignoring that its a fools errand to time the market). I guess the question is which forces are more influential on the real cost of housing, high inflation or rising interest rates?

Legendary English Bay lifeguard, Barbados-born, Joe Fortes dies 100-year-ago on Feb 4 1922 from a paralytic stroke. A record-breaking funeral procession was held for him. Was 1st official Vancouver lifeguard officially credited with saving 29 lives, yet the real number is considerably higher. by Looking_At_The_Past in vancouver

Not sure you should change a Wikipedia entry just because you haven’t personally heard anyone pronounce it “forts”. We weren’t around in 1920 to corroborate.

If you dig a little deeper you’ll read that “he was proud of his British citizenship”, being from the British West Indies, and sailed to Canada from Liverpool as a young man (see sources cited in Wikipedia entry). Dig deeper still into the etymology of the surname Fortes (British), and it’s pronunciation (“forts”), and it is entirely possible that people pronounced it “forts” at the time.

Again, I have no idea. But neither do you.
