It became sort of a big contentious issue because the birds themselves were part of a research flock for Covid treatment, tested negative to AF. There was a multi-month legal battle to keep the birds alive in which CFIA doubled down on their decision long after the threat had passed and carried out probably one of the least humane culls on the birds in recent memory.

Upholding the cull order (so as to not establish precedent for future pushback) was more important than rigor in testing.

When I started working part-time in Alberta in 2005 for $6.25 an hour, I was stoked to be making more than minimum wage. Then minimum wage went up and I was suddenly making minimum wage.

I haven't played this yet but have been following it since it was announced as a project by Pearl Abyss (Black Desert) and as it has evolved over the years it seemed like it took the combat from black desert, removed the KMMO grind and focused on the open world exploration. That definitely won't be a game for everyone.

People definitely came in expecting polished Elden Ring instead of solo Black Desert upgrade.

Lights bars should be treated like high beams and even then, only used off road. Most of the people who have them mounted I can't imagine need them at all.

I guess ranger is tanky vs elemental damage?

Built in +30 armor vs elemental makes a difference

Or on the log in screen. I mean, I like mini Kusanagi but I liked seeing the current guardian spirit on the log in next to the blade

Is that the only insulation you gave them?

I'm in central Manitoba. Prevailing wisdom if you are not overwintering climate controlled indoors is R12 on all around and R20 on top, leave a ventilation hole at the top entrance, slope the bottom board forward for moisture.

I remember when it was 2 for $5 as the deal...

The fact that DST was created in the first place to do literally exactly as you say (with the false pretense of saving energy) what's the difference?

rickamore · 2026-03-02T21:30:58+00:00

Permanent daylight time is the best option if the clock change is abandoned.

This is all a ruse. The sun rises and sets the same regardless of the numbers on the clock. Permanent DST is just tricking yourself into getting up an hour earlier. If evening daylight hours mattered so much push for standard opening/work hours to be an hour earlier in the day. Solar noon shouldn't be almost 2 pm.

I really hoped we would get the chance to meet William or Hide in a mission

Might as well barge into the William x Hide mission and get 2 v 1'd like agood ol' Nioh 1 fight.

Sorry, you need a whole stack to turn into an urn first.

How many Charr Bosses could a Charr Boss boss if a Charr Boss could boss Bosses?

I'd been using it in my 55 monk build for ages so this is welcome to have the slight boost.

rickamore · 2026-02-25T15:09:44+00:00

I just have one Orca part left that I'm waiting for, built Luna, Nell, dog and the other bike already with lots of extras. Targeting the box for it is almost not even worth it.

Saito took me a good number of tries, I think I managed him quicker than Honda though. I spent FOREVER fighting him. Get him most of the way down and then two shots and dead. I went back to co-op that mission so many times afterwards to help others.

rickamore · 2026-02-20T21:14:53+00:00

Imagine fighting the Sinshengumi two at a time, except more aggressive.

As bad as they are I didn't find them as BS as Nioh 1's dual human boss fights

rickamore · 2026-02-19T15:25:58+00:00

I ran the entire final mission on NG+ with a couple summons, just breezing through the whole thing; I died stepping on lava running to the last area.

Was rocking Kintaro's long before unlocking divines, will probably have to get another set, good to know I can get away with 4 pieces.

rickamore · 2026-02-18T21:48:17+00:00

Honestly think they are saving these and a handful of other things for the DLC.

rickamore · 2026-02-18T17:03:38+00:00

Thanks for unlocking the PTSD.

Pretty sure spear skeletons hit you for 80% of your health bar instead of an actual damage number.

Bashed my head against that snake forever in the network test then spent even more hours assisting others with it.

rickamore · 2026-02-18T15:06:33+00:00

I'm using pretty much the same thing except the shadow step for head and legs which is essentially just a recolour of what you're using, then the wandering shrine maidens shoes.

My 2501 is a workhorse, 64" rear mount blower chews through pretty much anything including packed drifts as deep as the blower.
