Yes.

Shiny.

No, you can rinse your balls as well.

Treblinka?

“That’s called blinking, boys!”

He was popular enough to be their mayor until he decided not to run for a fourth term, and Calgary has generally not been adverse to voting NDP before, so I’d say its Nenshi’s race to lose.

Better dead than spread.

Gotta stop them poachers, I reckon.

Fiber is way more resilient than that. You’d have to pretty much tie it into a knot or crease it to cause a serious problem. I’ve seen people treat them like copper, flattening loops “so they can’t act as an antenna”, and they still work fine. These are single-use drones pulling an individual ~40km strand off a big spool. As long as it comes off the spool cleanly, they should work just fine for as long as they need to. I imagine them getting tangled is the bigger risk.

I’m not sure those are supposed to be her memories, but rather that they represent her fears about her own future. Natsuko has writer’s block because she doesn’t think she can pull off a first love story, and thinks all of her ideas are crap and unrealistic because she has never been in love with anyone herself. Natsuko is the one wears her hair over her face, so it looks like she is projecting her doubts on her fans and coworkers, waiting for them all to blame her when her latest film flops and it turns out she isn’t the genius she is supposed to be. I think in her little Perishing dream world, she has been getting the perspective she needs to fill in her gaps as a writer. Definitely lots to speculate on how that front has been shaping up, so it should be interesting to see how it wraps up!

According to everything I have seen and read on the matter, most kids seemed to have a shit time with online schooling during COVID. Too easy to be distracted, frequent technical problems, no hands on activities or labs, no socialisation, no arts programs, no physical education, terrible support for kids who had learning problems or who otherwise required customised education plans, and the much larger class sizes meant an overall poorer quality of education.

For many, it was an unmitigated disaster, and most kids are much happier to be back at school in person. A handful loved it though. My daughter was one, though she also is very happy to have music classes again, so even she prefers being back in school.

Our conservative provincial government liked the cost savings though, so they tried to introduce an online course requirement to get your high school diploma, but due to popular demand, they had to include an opt out option. Since the opt out was so popular, they are now making it harder to access by requiring that you fill out a form for it available only by contacting the school guidance office.

Let’s face it, online education is not popular because it sucks unless your program only requires a lecture, you are very motivated to learn and study, you don’t need or want to discuss anything complicated with profs or peers, you have no learning or hearing disabilities, and you prefer to avoid people. It is great for work you already know how to do, which is the reason my daughter loved it, and why I like working from home. But default online education? Correspondence school has long been a thing, so if that’s you, fill your boots. It seems most would rather pass on it.

Taiwan’s National Security Bureau says that without their supply chain of advanced machinery and parts as well as ultra-pure raw materials, the factories won’t be able to do much for long at current tech levels and will quickly fall behind the leading edge. And both the US and Taiwan have plans to scuttle the plants if they see the need anyway.

Range on both is over 500km. They’re pretty much the only EVs that have that much range. But the fit and finish on the Ioniq makes it a luxury car by comparison. And they don’t have that Musky smell about them.

It’s one of the most expensive in Canada. 60K for a RWD base Model 3. You can get an AWD Ioniq for that, and should, since Hyundai can actually build a car.

All the Canadian Taco Bell combos come with fries, and there is no potato option when it comes to menu items, so I just put my fries on my tacos. Everything gets potatoes!

That’s pretty much it. You shouldn’t be berating him for supporting Russia so much as you should be cheerleading him supporting Ukraine.

Can’t say that I know, but I shall be avenged.

Character death and disfigurement is too rare these days. Bring back the Sword of Sharpness bite!

Gross. Love it. Bream Theater is interesting too though.

Depends on when you got it. They are worried about people who got it in the late 60s to early 90s, since I think they were doing a one dose vaccine then. MMR since then is a double dose and lasts for life. If you’re 35+ you should check with a doctor to see if you need a booster.
