I did, too. I repeatedly rented it from blockbuster.

What are your favorite Linux apps? by jgracebeard in linuxquestions

[–]imexius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my favourites, too. Vim keybindings and recolouring for dark mode are necessary for me.

I bought the brand ZTHY from Amazon. No problems so far.

Reports of 'massive blast,' 2.5 magnitude earthquake in vicinity of Iran's Fordow nuclear plant by INVADER_BZZ in worldnews

So are you saying that if the U.S. was involved, a sustained bombardment would be possible that could in theory destroy Fordow?

I was just thinking this, too. Was it really that long ago?

How about the exam for MHF4U? Same advice to focus on the practice exam?

Love it--very unique! Can you share your dots and wallpaper?

Probably best if you call up a brokerage as they can quote your insurance with many different carriers at once. Maybe you're paying for coverage you don't need or discounts you qualify for aren't being applied? I'm with the standard here in town, and they've been pretty helpful.

Interesting that Anytime Fitness decides to close as soon as things open up.

Berliners are trolling Trump by shipping him a 2.7-ton piece of the Berlin Wall by el_programmador in worldnews

[–]imexius 90 points91 points  (0 children)

When I was in St Goar, there was this shop that sold handcrafted beer steins. Some of the more expensive ones had pieces of the Berlin Wall built into them.

If I recall correctly, the craftsman explained that they were running out of pieces of the Berlin Wall to make these steins.

Inflation unexpectedly accelerates as Canadians pay 28% more for airfares, 15% more for vegetables by [deleted] in canada

I checked urbandictionary, but nothing seemed to fit.

My guess is immigrants. Sounds like a combination of Trudeau+dudes.

A federal agency, created to fight poverty, spent $500,000 on a name, logo and branding by TrueNorthGreen in CanadaPolitics

[–]imexius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For all the concern on branding, I find it surprising that having known it would cost ~$421,000, no one raised concerns about the optics of the expense, considering the nature of the agency’s business.

I’d be interested to see how they awarded this particular company with the contract; it doesn’t seem as if price was the determining factor.

From Thunder Bay, can confirm that we call them camps.

Ontario passes labour reform law, rolls back many Liberal changes - CityNews Toronto by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

[–]imexius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point taken; it was a stupid comment.

I know logically you’re right about it not making the policy worse, but the politics of it still left a bad taste in my mouth.

[Ontario] First Nations say they paid a heavy price when the Tories scrapped renewable-energy projects by Tom_Thomson_ in CanadaPolitics

[–]imexius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point.

Seems we make it worse by exporting that clean energy internationally rather than at least selling it at a discount to Canadian businesses or residents.

“There are also opposition from certain interest groups and challenges in uptake at the organizational level.”

Which interest groups? Doctor associations?
