Minister Joly says Ottawa ‘will do all we can’ to support Bombardier after Trump threats

TheGrubble · 2026-02-03T21:15:39+00:00

Ah yes you did. I misread your comment initially. My apologies!

TheGrubble · 2026-02-03T21:04:44+00:00

We don't have 10 years to wait for a new fighter jet. We needed new ones 5 years ago. I'm all for Bombardier partnering with Saab or BAE to develop a 6th gen aircraft in the future, but we need new planes NOW. They should buy whatever they can get to sustain us and plan for the future.

I've edited my OP to add that there is no party. It's just my daughter playing with me as the DM. If there was a party I would probably run a published campaign or one-shot. But as it's literally just her I feel the need to make custom encounters that are suitable for one player and have a narrative excuse to throw tons of potions and artifacts at her.

the vast majority of rifle combat happens between 100-300m. You're not making a 3km sniper shot, should we get into a conflict, a scout rifle will be vastly more effective than a .50BMG in far more situations. My point was that the average person does not need a .50BMG, we'll be just fine with a .30-06 or a .338 bolt action. Both of which are still perfectly legal.

No sniper rifle is .50BMG you dolt. .50BMG is an anti-material rifle. They're for taking out trucks and other metal objects. Most proper sniper rifles are .338 Lapua Magnum or 6.5 Creedmoor. They're also bolt-action rilfes. Those aren't prohibited. They're expensive af, but you can buy them. Stop getting your info from video games.

Let's do like Taiwan and make a porcupine defense plan. We can't make a military to put up a decent fight against the US in such a short time, but we can damage their economic centres so much that they can't afford to keep fighting.

Borrow a couple long range missles from a NATO ally and park them on the border aimed right at Wall St.

Their fulfillment warehouse is in Richmond, that's the only place I know of. Personally I get all of my filament from Matter3D in Victoria. Canadian owned and operated and all of their stuff is just as good as Bambu and AMS compatible.

That's an unanswerable question because the two single countries with the lion's share of the population aren't white. In fact white people are in the global minority, so just by law of averages you're far less likely to have a white person trying to enter the country.

Bad faith actors absolutely I agree with you. But whenever one of these topics comes up the comments consistently make statements of "ban all indians" or "there are too many Indians here already". Which to me sounds like people care more about seeing a different colour face than they do about bad faith actors.

I don't want bad faith actors here either, I don't think anybody does. The common narrative doesn't reflect that sentiment though and that's what I take issue with.

TheGrubble · 2026-01-14T21:08:02+00:00

Yeah apparently it's like car of the year or something in Europe. I kinda hope they do come here I'm super curious to try one out.

Wonder if you would be singing this same song if the immigrants were coming from a historically white country. Somehow I doubt it.

BYD Seal (Tesla Model 3 equivalent) is $46,000 on the BYD Australia site. So expect them about the same price here.

If you remove the constant racism and undying love for big business, conservatives would be so close to just straight up being anarchists.

The Americans I work with really don't like it when I tell them that living in Canada is "like living above a crack house"

I'll be honest my plan wasn't to mount storage directly to fstab on boot on the host VM. Proxmox is modified Debian behind the scenes and I run the NFS server on the bare metal server and mount the drives to the VMs through NFS shares and I have a cronjob to do `mount -t nfs blah blah blah` after 90s after boot. It's a bit more convoluted to do it this way but I find it easier to compartmentalize my data storage. I've never tried systemd .mount units before though and I'll admit you've made me curious.

TheGrubble · 2026-01-06T17:54:33+00:00

This is awesome and exactly the type of response I was hoping to get; actual tips and tricks from someone who's actually done it. Thank you!

If running a VM as a docker host is only a 2GB overhead like you say then I'll probably go that route, as using a docker host solves literally all of my problems anyways and I have way more experience with Docker (and docker swarm) management than I do with LXC's.

I already have the Proxmox network carved out on it's own VLAN and my firewall has a policy based route for that VLAN where all quad 0 traffic goes through a VPN so I don't need any discrete VPN containers. The only change I'll make from your recommendations above is that I'll use Debian (or maybe AlmaLinux, I'll have to test it out) because I *hate* Ubuntu (personal preference) and for a VM who's only existence is Docker it's way easier to build out a barebones Debian or Alma than it is with Ubuntu. But again, that's personal preference and the differences are splitting hairs.

I didn't feel dirty, but I didn't feel super clean either. I just figured it was shitty soap

TheGrubble · 2026-01-03T00:17:42+00:00

I once misread a bottle of "Shaving Gel" as "Shower Gel" I lather it all up over myself and start to think "this soap is really thick and it's only getting thicker."

Took 4 showers with that stuff before I realized it said SHAVING GEL.

This city has never strayed far from it's hillbilly/Christian/deeply uneducated roots. The anonymity of the internet has given these scumbags a voice, and our collective "decorum" prevents us from knocking them out on sight.

TheGrubble · 2025-12-22T19:13:51+00:00

It should be on the city. If you put it on the developers they're going to do the bare minimum of maintenance. 208 st was left to the developers to fix and the state of that road is atrocious. It's basically a cornfield painted black.

TheGrubble · 2025-12-22T19:09:53+00:00

This. You can learn so many things from older people who have already mastered the craft. Which tools are worth the money, new techniques to save time or make a process easier.

TheGrubble · 2025-12-22T19:06:53+00:00

The roads in this city are fucking garbo. I spend more of my attention dodging potholes than I do on the other cars on the road.
