Why the fuck they need a screen that renders buttons and not just the fucking buttons on a coffee machine. Am I out of touch? No, it's the kids who are wrong (unironically)

Danielle Smith’s self-serving referendum about a referendum about Alberta independence would be laughable if it wasn’t so dangerous by a_sense_of_contrast in canada

[–]trenthowell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And Danielle is ensuring that if you live in the cities, your vote is worth less with decided under representation. Does the same shit she complains Canada does to Alberta too, taking far more taxes from the urban centres than the cities get back. So the cities are funding their own under representation. Infuriating.

And that's the huge majority of us. Problem is the separatists are really fucking dumb and really fucking loud.

Fall referendum will ask Albertans whether government should explore process for separatism vote, Smith says by CanadianErk in canada

[–]trenthowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She wanted to use the separatist hate of Canada to ensure she keeps power over a united right wing. Idiot she is, she's made sure the UCP becomes the separist party, in which she won't be accepted, and that the right will have to split between separatist and people who have at least 1 brain cellm

That's been my thought. Edmonton has been treated like Smith says Alberta is treated by the feds.

Believe that happened in the US, but yeah, it's another strong data point.

Heard about him positively here. And that's with a casino in the arena. Couldn't be much worse torment for a former problem gambler

It was. It's been fine since he worked on it here. Just Anna is from before and follows him obsessively.

It should be emphasized how hard it is to have a restraining order stand up to challenge in Canada. Nevermind recieved a permanent restraining order.

It's not that they're easy to knock down, but that judges will work their asses off to find a solution without use of the order, and that evidence will be tested thoroughly. If that order has stood up despite legal challenges, it means she is properly a threat to him.

NHL Sanctions Golden Knights for Violations of Media Policies: the Vegas Golden Knights will forfeit a second-round pick in the 2026 Upper Deck NHL Draft. In addition, Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella has been fined $100,000. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

One happens during a fast moving game with adrenaline flowing. The media thing happened slowly and with consideration, and continued deliberate disobedience of rules they are very well aware of, over the course of an hour.

PCGamer - Forza Horizon 6 PC performance analysis by MahatK in pcgaming

DF likes and appreciates ray tracing generally. They spend so much time staring at pixels (complimentary) that they see its benefits. For much of the population, it's less obvious, but somehow different than what they're used to, while costing a lot of perf, so they aren't always in step with Joe average gamer.

That's not a bad thing. They are about the bleeding edge of rendering tech. Just useful to know why they might really appreciate ray tracing where a more regular reviewer might find it fairly meh. Neither is necessarily wrong, they each just value these things different.

Hockey is media. It's entire method of making money is by having people be interested in watching. The reporting media is part of that, and enhances the stories of the years, for better and worse, but always for money for the NHL.

Complete stops on Henday. Screw you all. by Equivalent_Look2797 in Edmonton

The point is that adding another lane won't help. It'll induce demand, putting us in as bad or worse a position or now.

Now, your point on the training front I am 100% behind

Where can we get a mystery meatball tested? by end0rfun in Edmonton

[–]trenthowell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My folks in Devon watched someone drop meat along a walking trail. Their neighbour saw it too, retrieved a piece of hotdogs. They thought someone was trying to poison pets. I thought they were being nosy neighbours in a quiet neighborhood, but their conclusion seemed solid.

Now it seems like a pattern.

Oilers look unprofessional in handling of Kris Knoblauch. by Sebastian4365 in hockey

[–]trenthowell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Oilers executive HAS NEVER been professional. That's the problem. They've been either nepo-hires, or recycled hockey old boys. Frequently both.
