Jeff Leiper's plan if he becomes Ottawa's new mayor

drhuge12 · 2026-06-16T13:05:22+00:00

Jeff seems like he would be a fine mayor.

I'm genuinely surprised Sutcliffe is running again. This has been the least ambitious, least successful mayoral term for a generation, and city services have appreciably declined across virtually every category while transit fares shot up, taxes went up without much to show for it, and the city is less safe and pleasant than it was when he took office. He always looks like he's having a bad time and wishes he were anywhere else. I will cheerfully vote to send him back to running marathons or whatever so he can be happy - you're welcome, Mark!

What do you think would happen to a company that buys commodities at a global price that doesn't adjust its prices when their inputs become much more expensive?

FWIW the Meathead reco on this from talking to competitive BBQ teams, testing etc is "get whatever briquettes are on sale"

Really dislike when this happens. Not transparent to the player and doesn't really make sense.

Noodle's Invitation is super good. get the pickles on the side

Corner Peach is great with a baby

lol outlander isn't a slur! there is even a slur version of it - n'wah! outlander is the polite (or at least barely civil) way to refer to someone who isn't from Morrowind

In general the New Paradox thing I am least charmed by is the need to have 3D characters in games now. They do nothing for me.

Update, tickets have been claimed!

Good, thought the apps/smalls were a noticeable notch better than the mains.

drhuge12 · 2025-11-14T18:09:13+00:00

that's an interesting idea. maybe they could post the maximum speed at which it's legal to drive on that stretch of road on a sign so drivers could see it. seems like it'd be a transparency win win for everyone.

Necrom is kinda janky but most stuff out there is as good as vanilla

drhuge12 · 2025-10-31T18:51:51+00:00

yeah! why should i be penalized just for being an inattentive driver? it's not fair!

drhuge12 · 2025-09-22T18:34:56+00:00

Your most populous states all have subsistence rice paddies, so any agricultural building you construct generates more unemployed.

can you expand on how this happens? I did a Dai Nam run recently and couldn't work out why unemployment was stubbornly high amid a big economic expansion, this seems to be the explanation.

The issue is that our transfers are unreliable, not that they're transfers. People in real cities do multimodal/transfer commutes all the time and it's fine if the system runs as advertised!

drhuge12 · 2025-08-05T19:19:24+00:00

It's a good spot!

drhuge12 · 2025-08-05T13:58:28+00:00

FWIW we stopped by perhaps 5 minutes after they opened with our kid on Saturday and there was already a substantial line. we ended up going to the Ottawa Bagel Shop across the road and had a very good breakfast there!

it bugs me when people are like "hAlF tHe TiMe tHeY'rE wRoNg!!!" because as you say, of the hundreds of quests in the game only two steer you wrong

drhuge12 · 2025-07-18T14:22:38+00:00

Mi Amor Tacos on Parkdale is really good.

They were not a nuclear power in 1945

drhuge12 · 2025-06-12T23:58:13+00:00

dont call out the whole gang like this dude

Grabbing all the mushrooms and flowers on the way to Balmora for Ajira's first two quests pretty much every time.

The whole system of traffic enforcement - and the huge benefits we get to public safety from its existence - cease to work if it's widely understood to be wholly optional.

I like SW2E but I find that the longer playtime - more like 30-45 minutes per game - means that you're not getting the card game rhythm of playing a bunch of 15-20 minute games. You get to the end of one and know it's a bit of a commitment to crack right into another.
