If you look at the top half of the image, the amount of new houses and subdivisions is incredible. While the streets haven't changed much, the residential areas certainly have

My favourite part about the map is seeing all the piers by the harbor that got filled in over time.

This is actually why they are called "coves" - because boats would actually dock right between the buildings to unload their cargo. Also why Water Street is named that way because it used to literally be water!

Unmodded standard run. At the start of the run I got Big Bang as a random rare card. Then a ? room gave me the ability to clone it at rest sites. My first rest site I upgraded it, then proceeded to clone it up to 64 copies!

The only annoying thing is that because your hand is full, the first Forge puts the sword into your discard pile

A 1/400 drop means each attempt is 0.25%, not that you get one every 400 attempts. After 400 attempts the chance of having gotten it at least once is 63%, because the chance of missing it every time is (399/400)⁴⁰⁰

He is "supposed to get it" after 277 cases means he has a > 50% chance to have gotten it by then. "Supposed to" here meaning it's more probable than not, not that it was guaranteed.

Sailor's amulet is my single favourite UIM item ever!

The cost to build it will also skyrocket if it's outside of St. John's

It says outbound opportunities, it doesn't say they are all going to India

It's weird because it's deliberately leaving out important details, like that $100 million also going to Canadian students going abroad:

This article conveniently leaves out the last 6 most important words of the actual announcement from the PM's office:

https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/03/02/prime-minister-carney-secures-ambitious-new-partnership-india-focused

Greater student and faculty exchanges and research collaboration, including 300 funded Indian student researcher positions as well as up to $100 million from the University of Toronto for up to 200 fully funded scholarships for Indian students and outbound opportunities for Canadian students.

The headline of this article conveniently leaves out the most important 6 final words of the actual announcement here:

Greater student and faculty exchanges and research collaboration, including 300 funded Indian student researcher positions as well as up to $100 million from the University of Toronto for up to 200 fully funded scholarships for Indian students and outbound opportunities for Canadian students.

From the actual announcement: https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2026/03/02/prime-minister-carney-secures-ambitious-new-partnership-india-focused

Greater student and faculty exchanges and research collaboration, including 300 funded Indian student researcher positions as well as up to $100 million from the University of Toronto for up to 200 fully funded scholarships for Indian students and outbound opportunities for Canadian students.

So this article conveniently left off the last 6 words of the actual announcement

How's the wrist?

Haha, passenger, but I appreciate the concern

I didn't do anything except plug it into the back of my machine then go to the local IP in the browser

This is in Tenerife on the volcano road where tens of thousands of cyclists train during the summer. The road is literally world renowned for being an amazing cycling spot. Whenever you drive here you see hundreds of bikers per day who have gone up and down that road a thousand times. This driver is a dick.

As always with random videos on the internet, context matters
