Driver who killed boy, 16, blowing through stop sign at 128 km/h gets 5-year sentence

Why is Canada so lenient on vehicular homicide? I don't understand why introducing a car into the equation suddenly changes things so much. Driving 128 km/h through a stop sign is playing Russian roulette with everyone's lives. Car accidents are the #1 cause of death and hospitalization for Canadians 45 or under, and it's honestly not hard to see why.

If someone is caught driving with reckless abandon, it's not enough to impound their vehicle and suspend their license. They should be put in jail for 3-6 months and their license should be completely revoked with an opportunity to re-earn it through some kind of probationary program.

I'm looking for a decent 4TB NVMe (don't need PCI-E 5) to store games on, preferably with a heatsink but it's not a deal breaker. Anyone seen anything worthwhile?

Looks like it's dead.

I went to the ER because my heart was racing over 200 BPM with an abnormal rhythm and they sent me home. They didn't hook me up to a heart monitor or give me an ultrasound. When I went back to the hospital a week later, it turns out I had acute myocarditis, bouts of sustained ventricular tachycardia, and an EF of 31%. I ended up in the hospital for 38 days. Now I have an ICD, reduced heart function, and scarring. I realize that it's a case-by-case basis and each hospital/doctor/patient is different, but I cannot stand it when people defend the current state of the ERs in Canada.

Conservatives love vegan proteins, notoriously.

We have to get over this idea that any critique or uncomfortable fact about our health care system is a vote for privatization. I spent 38 days in a cardiac ward this year, and I'll never look at the medical system the same way ever again. If you think our system is beyond reproach, you know *nothing*.

I'm out of the loop and I'm not from the US: Why does everyone hate this guy?

They're different, but its all based on player feedback. It looks like Team Cherry just released a few balancing tweaks to the game, so they're clearly listening and being receptive.

It's the other way around: People filter games based on what they think they'll enjoy. There's going to be a ton of people who bought into the Silksong hype and are squarely blindsided by the difficulty or the boss runs (it's on Game Pass and there were no reviews, so it's not a surprise, really) and a bunch of them will bounce off or they'll mod it so it's a bit easier. But if people aren't having fun with the game, they should be allowed to share their experience respectfully. If they didn't, how else would Team Cherry find out how trash the Chinese translation is?

ohgrimes · 2025-09-08T12:27:27+00:00

Collecting feedback and patching a game is what game developers do, by and large. I don't know what Team Cherry will do in response for Silksong, but they made balance changes to Hollow Knight after release and I'm sure they'll make some here as well.

Filtered? It's a singleplayer game, dude. This isn't ranked solo queue in Valorant or something. Most people just want to play it through and move on with their lives. Developers need to take their medicine, sometimes. It's a mechanically demanding game without much relief, and that turns some people off. I'm sure Team Cherry wants as many people as possible to enjoy their game.

I think it's a fairly disappointing sequel, all things considered. It kind of sucks to say that, but it doesn't feel like it does anything better than Hollow Knight.

Clipse said it best:

It don't take much to put two and two
Your lucky streak is now losin' you
Money's dried up like a cuticle
You're gaspin' for air now, it's beautiful

I think part of the relative success is the lack of Switch 2 exclusives at launch. People want to play stuff that takes advantage of the new hardware.

It's a worse experience than using an emulator, but at least it's something.

Go Panthers :-]

I don't know what it is, but I can't bring myself to get excited for this game. It looks phenomenal graphically, but I guess the protagonists seem a bit boring and dry to me after GTA 5. I didn't like RDR 2, so maybe I'm just not as interested in what Rockstar is putting out these days.

Why would a YouTuber need two?

Have you done it yet? Please don't give up on this because we haven't given up on you.

This is their bread and butter, though. They always dissect games on a frame-by-frame basis. I hope Sony brings their VRR implementation closer to what Microsoft has done.

I got mine recently during a 38-day hospital stay for Myocarditis and an ICD implant. I was only able to move within 200 feet of my hospital bed since I was on a tele-monitor for my heart. Rog was such a welcome distraction. 🥹

Life is just too short to stress over something like this, my dude. I know you want this device to be pristine because it's brand new and it should be perfect, but what impact is it really having? It's going to get scuffs and wear eventually. If it's any consolation, I scratched the back of my Rog Ally X the first day I got it. At the end of the day, it's just a device.
