Aren't there laws against children, babies etc riding in the front seat? Could backfire. /s

Didn't that originate in a Sabrina The Teenage Witch episode? Or did I just imagine that?

My breakfast has been cottage cheese on homemade sourdough toast for a solid decade. Crazy cheap if you don't count the 12 hours it takes to make the bread. ;)

I don't understand how they put Vancouver and Toronto in the same accent group. Quite distinct.

Well, north America anyway

That sounds high. How much of that is transient seasonal labour?

Bugs me that in all of his examples he does the thing for the user instead of having them do it while he guides them through it. I have a 'sit on my hands' rule for cases like that. But it has been a while since I've done desktop support.

The USA has a population nearing 400 million, you wouldn't think a few hundred thousand migrants a year would be an issue.

Aristotle, Aristotle, was a bugger for a bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram...

 

As subject. In Gastown, a plane flew over putting out rainbow contrail. Why? O_o

Some festival?

Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.

The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.

In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.

 

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.

 

Officially out!

There's a video trailer, too.

 

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.

Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.

 

So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.

One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.

Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?

The beauty of The Long Dark.

To clear up some confusion: there is an article behind that link and I'm not the author.
