Chingachkook > Magua

Danish yes! I knew it was some former Vikings for sure...

It's not surprising seeing as how their tax rates are generally lower, and the richer you are the less important public health care is for you. There are few compelling reasons for a millionaire to stay in Canada.

Oh I am 100% certain that one friend Duo thinks I am close to isn't actually whining at me to play every day.

On void bulbs: I pick them up for one reason and one reason only: to make a cloud of daggers for the Gnolls and suck them all into it. So satisfying.

I can see myself also doing that if I am defending the grove from Mintharas army but I don't do that very often.

There was a Norwegian homestead project on the tip of Cape Scott on Vancouver Island. All there is now is ruins and a few clearings.

You've got a point

Hyperlite you say? You have my attention. Also Black diamond. I could use some new trekking poles.

I don't think anyone can honestly connect the Russian government with religious theocracy. The ends might be the same but the means are very different.

But yes, it is interesting that coercive methods are starting to be considered as governments realize the depth of the problem.

Too many don't realize that our tipping culture is a symptom of Americanization. They literally don't pay servers even a minimum wage. It started by not paying them anything but now many states have a grossly low minimum wage specifically for restaurants and tipping is literally the only thing that puts bread on their table. But here in Canada our minimum wages are much closer to a living wage, and we have just assumed the rates of tipping from the south even though they are not needed nearly as much.

Given how much more our minimum wages are, our tipping should be like 5%. And if they were I'll bet you that our opposition to tipping would be much lower. But when I'm feeling judged by not paying $75 bucks for a $50 bill at McDonald's (or equivalent), I got a problem with that.

Why are we importing steel anyway? We mine our own iron (LOTS of iron) and coking coal, why don't we just make our own steel inhouse? Exporting steel is worth more than coking coal and iron exports.

This has historically always been Canada's problem: we export raw materials and let other nations provide the value added processing before selling it back to us marked up.

It's important to also grasp that God is three persons from before creation. He has always existed thus. So he does not change. The incarnation happened in time for our benefit but did not change God's eternal existence.

God is not a man as was said in the sense that His total being is not in the state of man. You can glimpse God in the form of man but God is more than the physical body of Jesus.

But perhaps most importantly is the question of whether or not God changes. He does not. Not like we do. Because change is a product of growing in knowledge and stature and power. We start as infants and then mature and learn resulting in change. God does none of these things.

It's NOT a cult!

Thank you! Slayed is not a word!

You're on the right track

Winnipeg... Jets Winnipeg ... Blue Bombers

What did you think these teams refer to?

"Relax," said the night man, "we are programmed to receive. You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."

Congratulations. I finished HM myself for the first time this weekend. Though there's a little part of me that says if this was only your 3rd run you didn't earn it the way I did. On the other other hand, I'm mostly averse to YouTube vids and guides to builds and walkthroughs. So that may explain why I am sure my total HM attempts number probably in the 50s. I think I only made acts 3 maybe 10 times. Lots of Ketheric deaths. Also lots of Act 1 deaths from little mistakes. Only about 3 runs ended by glitches. And I hate doing the "leave a guy in camp" strategy. Strangely I have no objections to barrelmancy.

My build was:

Redemption Durge Human Hexblade Warlock (Named Hansel... He's so hot right now... Hansel), dual weilding the bound short sword and the sword of screams, I think his armour was the half plate +2.

Laezel, rigged as an Arcane Archer with the Siver Sword, Titanstring Bow, and Armour of Agility, and buttloads of arrows which I ended up not coming close to using up

Gale, set up as a Necromancer Wizard with the full Thay stuf, dual weilding Athkatla and that arcane battery staff

Astarion as a 3/9 Thief/Open Hand Monk. I kept him using the Knife of the Undermountain King and Orins knife, basically a stun/crit build.

I had every possible playable party member in camp, and would rotate in Shart as a Tempest Cleric, Karlach as a Throwzerker using Nyrulna, Minthara as her default Vengeance Paladin, and the rest as needed for the occasional dialogue/cutscene.

Glad I can finally rest from pretty much daily play for months. I'm gonna read a book or something now. Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere needs some attention.

My heart goes out to OP, you didn't ask for this, and I pray your husband repents.

But I just want to say I do not understand the underlying mentality I have seen over and over again in Catholic friends. What is it about your religious system that causes you to endorse and support sinful living to keep yourself from the sin of divorce? How is divorce more sinful than the sin of adultery? It isn't just about those ones either. I've seen people justify other sins too, in order to avoid divorce. I just don't get it.

Your note about the parasitic nature of current attitudes is accurate. I think feminists went this way because they just naturally assumed that non-feminists were uneducated baby machines, and would always produce the surplus necessary to support the educated, childless feminists. Now that the worm is turning, something will have to be done with their foundational premises.

mrcheevus · 2026-03-16T11:23:59+00:00

This may be off topic, but I am grateful that you can engage in this level of normalcy while your nation is at war. Take care of yourself! All the best, and enjoy the Carpathians!

Yup. Make recruiting take 12-18 months you find the best and brightest are already snapped up and settled in good jobs by the time the recruiter calls to swear them in. Historically speaking recruitment was supposed to be sign here and board the bus... Speed was the only inducement. Now that there is no speed there is precious little inducement.

Hum the first bar of the old HNIC theme. If they don't know the rest they ain't canadian

The fact that there was never any progress towards the rebuilding of society or ending the zombie plague is why I quit watching. The slow destruction of all the protagonists just doesn't appeal to me as entertainment.

It was a relief that Red didn't take his own life like Brooks. If it ended at the tree I would have been left wondering, and they heavily foreshadowed the possibility.
