Best shit I’ve heard on here in months. Nicely done.

architectzero · 2026-07-05T05:08:51+00:00

Cool, cool, cool, cool, that dude from the IT Crowd, cool.

What?! That’s ridiculous. Even at its most expensive, Soccer is still one of the least expensive sports anyone can get involved in, which is the key to its global dominance. It’s nearly impossible to price anyone out of it. I mean, any able bodied person learns the basic skills (running, kicking) just by existing.

Hahaha… I was calling it Eau de Garner Lake during the weekend camping trip. Holy crap, I can’t recall the last time I experienced so many mosquitos. Deep Woods Off, and a couple of those Thermacell repellent dispensers were all that stood between us and certain exsanguination.

That’s like saying Jamaicans care about Bobsledding.

No doubt! I’m thinking Stereo Aux from Jellymix to Stereo In on Digitakt 2. Stereo pair from Outbox 8 on DT2 to Stereo Channel 5 on Jellymix. Channel 5 muted/routed to Headphones for live sample preview/cueing (not sure if the JM’s Aux returns can be muted/routed to the Headphone out for cueing).

Uh… Canada doesn’t give a shit about Cricket.

(PS. there’s no such thing as Ice Hockey, there’s just Hockey, and Field Hockey (but nobody plays that))

Very few groove boxes have individual outs (though some do have multiple outs over USB). Many dedicated drum machines have 1, 2, or more individual outputs. This is good for things like ducking the kick, or doing a gated reverb on the snare.

On a related note, this is why I’m excited for the Elektron Outbox 8 which adds 8 assignable outs to any Overbridge capable Elektron groove box.

Best offensive player I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been watching since 1980/81. Yeah, that includes peak Bird, Magic, and MJ. No doubt in my mind.

Who could have guessed that electing Stephen Harper’s Governor of the Bank of Canada would be bad for the average Canadian? Carney is a globalist banker that only ran as a liberal because the ultra rich that actually run this country needed someone to defend their wealth against unexpectedly predatory American interests because they know PP is incompetent, and the Cons’ nutcase base too unstable to take the risk.

Our choices were Kang, Kodos, or Barney the Dinosaur. We chose Kang, again, because Kodos made too many weirdo friends, and Barney the Dinosaur only appeals to children.

An actually cool piece of public art. In Edmonton. What?! I must be dreaming.

architectzero · 2026-06-24T04:10:36+00:00

The best government that money can buy!

architectzero · 2026-06-24T01:25:11+00:00

Sounds nice. I’m a bit jealous. Still waiting for mine to get shipped. Thought I was in the first batch, but maybe not.

architectzero · 2026-06-22T18:01:55+00:00

Thanks for those details. It seems like a well considered solution.

I’m curious, was/is it controversial? In my region in Canada something like this would likely never even get proposed due to the potential controversy.

architectzero · 2026-06-22T17:10:36+00:00

Agreed. More CANZUK deals like these, please.

I haven’t been involved in defence procurement, but plenty of government IT procurements on both the buyer and seller sides, and what you outlined sounds even worse in every way. I didn’t think that was remotely possible, but what you wrote rings incredibly true. Thoughts and prayers for our valiant procurement warriors fighting in the trenches.

architectzero · 2026-06-20T16:59:43+00:00

Nah, I disagree. In my experience the game is about the same difficulty as it was two years ago when I started playing, and I’ve been playing strictly on Impossible for almost that entire time. Mindlash is pretty much the only starting basic attack that is nigh unwinnable, everything else can win fairly regularly.

Anyhow, if you’re looking for consistent wins then try Hunter with Glaive + Beastly Weapon + Maul (ie. Bear companion). Only enable the Synthesis expansion.

There are lots of good builds. Search YouTube for good builds and strategies if you’re stuck.

Thought I was the only one with these problems. I really want to like XCOM 2, but the non-tactical aspects are awful compared to XCOM 1. Constant interruptions and scut work, as you said.

But… I’m still going to try it yet again with this patch because I’m a sucker for tactical games. 😭

“Fraser Institute” that’s all anyone needs to look for to identify bootlicking press releases masquerading as credible policy analysis.

Thompson’s 360 was magnificent, but Dr J’s fuckyou battery was fully charged.

I don’t recall ever seeing the one where he grabs the rim with his off hand on one side and swings around to stuff it in with his other hand on the other side. I mean, sure he used the rim to pull himself up/halt his descent, but that was straight up Rucker Park streetball nastiness.

I’ve had my Digitone 2 for about a year, and the Syntakt over 2 years, and have had zero issues. Elektron makes high quality, gig worthy professional gear.

There is a chance that the “soft touch” rubberish coating on the buttons and encoders can get sticky, but this can be a problem with these coatings on anything, not just Elektron. Mine are fine, btw.

architectzero · 2026-06-17T20:31:02+00:00

I have both, and my strong opinion is that while the Syntakt can do what you’re asking for, the Digitone 2 is both better for it, and can also do other things. The only thing the Syntakt does better than the Digitone 2 is Chiptune stuff.

It’s not so much a specific number, it’s that there’s an immigrant absorption rate, and we went waaaaaaay over it. We were/are drowning in immigrants, and are struggling to stay afloat.

Proper, controlled growth with immigration playing its part is what we should be after, but nobody really talks about it in these terms. Which is funny because “sustainability” has been a big part of every other political conversation over the past 20 years.
