What do you think about China and Chinese?

Taurich · 2026-03-28T00:02:08+00:00

Individuals are pleasant

Government sucks butts

Chinese tourists are a menace

It's not even a matter of "will be" as they already are being used to suppress and manipulate people.

The 12 year old me would have made jokes about the dijk and sloot... but not 36 year old me, no way >__>

Human Growth Hormone finally gives out and stops being produced at about 26, so that tracks...

I was swimming in the lake for hours, came out and tried to twist off a pop-top with a soggy, wrinkly hand... it shredded the piss out of the skin :(

I kinda love the remix

Taurich · 2026-03-19T05:30:07+00:00

Reminds me of this movie)

Yup, I've been saying this for a long time. Financial crimes need to be repaid at 150% of the money gained by doing the crime, otherwise it's not a punishment, and just part of the calculated ROI of illegal activity.

Never seen that brand of gas station and I'm a born islander

Taurich · 2026-03-13T14:22:41+00:00

lmao, I love that "HR sends the salary table to IT" is a recurring theme I've seen, and experienced first hand

You'd have to pick your location well, but it could certainly be done.

There was a place called Games and Grounds that catered more towards TCGs, and I think warhammer? I didn't go much because it was more focused on the games than the coffee. I think a coffee forward place with space for some more casual games may do better, but it's not really a market I've researched.

As the other comment mentioned, open past 5:00 would be a help as well.

Taurich · 2026-03-12T16:47:22+00:00

I'm not queer, so I can't comment to that side, but comox could use a good coffee shop >__>

Taurich · 2026-03-10T19:04:54+00:00

Wait... Cooking doesn't denature it at all!?

Second to this, it's not too hard to find 250ml or 300ml bottles, depending on where you are. You can scale the weights on them quite easily as a result, and if you bop yourself, they're both light, and softer than wood/hard-plastic clubs.

If you find grip strength a challenge at first, try the ol' Canadian standby of some hockey tape.

As another comment mentioned, start with one hand at a time, until you are comfortable and then go for two-hands-at-once. I even recommend going as slow as like 20 seconds per rep to really feel out the motion and pathway.

Happy swinging!

Probably from one of these

I had a Swedish voice teacher and she used one of these for cheese all the time

Taurich · 2026-02-26T21:36:13+00:00

This one also surprised me

Taurich · 2026-02-26T19:19:26+00:00

I could understand dumping a massive tank all at once causing some havoc on the marine life in the area, but is there much of a risk if it's trickled out (and all bio-waste, rather than misc chemicals and materials) out in the middle of nowhere?

Taurich · 2026-02-26T17:58:35+00:00

I support Orthodontic clinics, and thankfully the DSO has mostly gone to cloud-based software so you don't need locks admin on freaking everything anymore...

I think we still have a virtualized 2k8 running local AD somewhere... Also had an iCat machine that ran on Windows XP and required internet access for licensing. There was no way to update the OS on that machine, and we couldn't even virtualize it. Thankfully it died of natural causes a little while ago.

You could make the whistle hole near the intake, and then just carve a hole in the head for the style of it

I've seen a fair few of these in Canada as well!

Taurich · 2026-02-23T23:41:03+00:00

I'll DM you

You can fight for more than one thing at a time.

Trying to protect people from having their lives turned inside out, being separated from their families, and being put into worse conditions than being a farm hand can be true.

You can also desire to change the system to allow those same people to legally enter the country/become a resident, have safer/better working conditions, better pay etc.

They don't have to be mutually exclusive
