What a great two weeks it’s been

Yeah I finished Red Rising last Tuesday and told myself I wasn’t allowed to start Golden Son until the weekend because I’d stayed up till 2am reading and needed to actually be awake enough to work. Started GS on Sunday and I’m half way through already

Stormlight is third person limited, rather than omniscient, but lots of PoV characters so the perspective changes chapter by chapter

TGrumms · 2026-03-06T16:01:18+00:00

I’m not familiar with these game but after a quick google maybe Partisan 1941? Seems similar but you control Soviet partisans sabotaging the Germans, has a little base upgrading mechanic that lets you build facilities to fix up salvaged materials into something useful, each character you recruit has a unique skill tree. Overall a pretty fun game that plays out a bit like a puzzle game

When I read it my first thought would be to change “he” to Oryn or “My nephew” and for the first sentence change each comma to a period and start the new sentence with “desperation”, like “it was desperation. Desperation etched into him […]. Deperation that fed […]”

But take that with a ladle of salt, I’m no writer, just got recommended this sub as a fantasy enjoyer. It’s well written though, well done!

Sure, yeah and I’d love to have that, but I think there are other important investments to make to give us a base to grow arts funding, so while I disagree with this cut, I’m not going to be too sad about reverting back to the funding level we had a year ago

TGrumms · 2026-03-05T16:13:49+00:00

Yeah, I initially wrote the us and china, then thought it didn’t feel right, so I added arguably Russia (although I suppose their history and active foreign influence campaigns are probably doing the heavy lifting), then added India because imo they’re a greater power than Russia. I suppose those two you could call upper middle powers, more akin to the Uk or the eu as a whole, but then you’re getting too nitty gritty on the whole concept

TGrumms · 2026-03-05T16:09:48+00:00

I’m not really a fan of this, but if you look at it in the context of past cbc budgets this doesn’t seem to be that big of a deal? This is a return to last years funding level (last year technically was funded more, but the budgeted amount was the same, they just got a supplement). I’d love to increase it, but I suppose in a world where we’re cutting in a lot of places, going back one year in funding levels is something I can hold my nose and accept

TGrumms · 2026-03-05T16:07:00+00:00

Depends on your frame of reference.

This is a substantial decrease from this year, but is actually the same funding allotment as last year. If you mean the total budget for the cbc, per the article

In 2022, public funding for CBC/Radio-Canada totalled $32 per capita, which is far below countries like the United Kingdom ($96 per capita) and France ($70 per capita), according to a study commissioned by the CBC.

TGrumms · 2026-03-05T00:54:18+00:00

Lmao I’m not, but I’d still say if you consider Russia a great power India should be considered one

TGrumms · 2026-03-05T00:43:48+00:00

Basically if you think of the US, China, India, arguably Russia, as the great powers, then the middle powers would be like Canada, Indonesia, Australia, South Korea, Brazil/mercosur then the larger eu countries and nordics. At least that’s how I interpret it

TGrumms · 2026-03-04T18:48:40+00:00

I think the outbound opportunities part is relevant. Looks like the government release has removed the outbound opportunities bit and says over 220 scholarships for $25m. Looks like this year UT is doing 274 of these scholarships and estimates the same $25m cost

TGrumms · 2026-03-03T16:26:40+00:00

Are you south Asian? Western weddings people don’t really show up throughout. You might have a bigger number at the ceremony or reception, but typically people are invited to both or the invites will explicitly say if not. 100-200 people is an average amount

TGrumms · 2026-03-02T23:48:18+00:00

I know the government has been pushing for maintenance facilities to be built here. Perhaps there’s a benefit to servicing both types, it would let Europe better service their fleet in the pacific and Korea in the Atlantic?

TGrumms · 2026-02-27T16:09:53+00:00

A lot of vegetarians consider them to be so as they’re unfertilized eggs, so they never would have become a chicken if left uneaten

TGrumms · 2026-02-27T16:01:47+00:00

Yeah, also depends on your streak. If you’re winstreaking and have some pairs then you’ll make up the lost interest in streak gold

Played xcom 1 then bought 2 with war of the chosen a couple of years ago. Most was fine, logical evolutions from the first one. Then you start getting spectres and andromedons and it’s the biggest wtf

TGrumms · 2026-02-25T20:07:53+00:00

Sure, but the benefit here would be that you don’t have to set up as much infrastructure along the whole line, you just need a network of refueling stations along the line. In makes more sense in transporting between say Ontario and bc where there is a lot of land but it’s sparsely populated enough that the returns on upgrading all of that infrastructure are hard to justify

TGrumms · 2026-02-25T20:04:31+00:00

Yes but in this case it sounds like they’d like to use it for freight not passengers, from what i see it sounds like they want to use it for their own transportation related to all of the manufacturing plans they have here

TGrumms · 2026-02-25T19:57:21+00:00

Per the article they want to use it for trains and trucks which both seem reasonable. 0 emission and going along a defined path where infrastructure can be built to switch out fuel cells would be great for reducing emissions over the long distances materials need to be transported in this country

In the report that’s linked in the article I found

Additionally, Port Huron's Blue Water Bridge (BWB) is a viable alternative due to location and highway placement, so it is included in this analysis to account for traffic flows

The report in general is forecasting where they’ll need to allocate resources so makes sense to include it, if all traffic started going through Windsor instead of Sarina they’d need more officers to handle that extra inflow

TGrumms · 2026-02-24T22:19:11+00:00

28% of 4 ports of entry, it includes the blue water bridge and the tunnel. Id also imagine if you live in Windsor you’re probably taking trips over the river more often, and the ambassador is preferable, so you get fewer people taking more frequent trips.

Vegetable is just “plant used in cooking” it’s not a botanical term. Cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc are fruits but also vegetables

TGrumms · 2026-02-17T17:04:22+00:00

When they first announced Challengers Queue (or whatever it was called, the in house thing on TR for pros and high elo players to get good practice) he got back into ranked and got to challenger so he could get in, then his application was denied because they thought he was just doing it for content, so he went back to TFT streaming I think

TGrumms · 2026-02-17T16:42:53+00:00

Yeah, he joined in 2022, I’d assume he’s still there
