Hah, I don’t find him terribly believable as a heel, he seems too wholesome and cool.

That was such a good match! Now we need Takeshita vs Okada to unify those belts

😂 Since I watched it last night it was fresh in my mind, but I could decipher Takeshita’s hair and trunks through the blurriness, plus the white ropes. If I didn’t just watch it I would not have gotten it.

Takeshita’s English is getting so much better too, he spoke a bit at the media scrum after the PPV. He’s a beast!

Is that Takeshita?

Everything was fucked!

I was the other way around! I really liked Joy Division, didn’t really care for New Order. Now I like them both, but they stimulate very different parts of my brain.

It was just one of those days!

Wait a second… you’re not Canadian but you know who The Hip are? And you like them?! My mind is blown, my dude. That’s awesome 😃

Weird, I was just about to add my comment in here about The Hip. I used to haaaaate them, like get up immediately and turn the radio station if they came on kind of hate.

Then I remember the music video for Poets came out, and I thought it was okay. Fine, maybe I like one of their songs, but fuck the rest!

And then I heard Bobcaygeon a few years later - I think it was the right place and the right time. A cottage trip, after a few drinks, and somebody I had a lot of respect for said they loved the band. Suddenly Gord wasn’t some awful screechy eccentric folk elderly-rock singer, but an eccentric artist whimsically singing about deep Canadiana. I started exploring them more, and now I love them and passionately regret that I will never be able to experience them live.

RIP Gord, you beautiful weirdo.

If any non-Canadians want a glimpse of what Canadian culture is like go take a listen to the top Tragically Hip songs. Also pay attention to the lyrics because some of them are just poetry and magnificent.

Rush still fucking sucks, though.

My headcanon is that after world war 3 we lost track of time (for a while; survival was priority) and a lot of records were destroyed / reconstructed, so the dates become fuzzy after world war 3, and by the time of TNG and DS9 those fuzzy dates had become accepted as fact because they didn’t know any better. The eugenics wars haven’t happened on the canon dates, but whose to say they don’t actually happen 10 or 20 years from now? 😛

Real life example, our date system involves numbering based on the birth of somebody that almost certainly didn’t exist. It’s just widely accepted that Christ was born 2024 years ago. Or would it be 2025 years ago? I’m too tired to figure that out.

Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.

Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!

Well that’s going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck

Bonjour! Bienvenue à Ontario!

English is an absurd language, and something like 30% of English words are from old (Norman?) French. English is my first language and it just seems like pure chaos to me.

100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!

Good luck (I mean that sincerely). I’ve heard it’s not terribly easy to move here if you’re not a recognised refugee. There was a lot of “I’m moving to Canada if the trumpet plays” talk in 2016, but I don’t think it resulted in any significant increase in Americans moving here.

I will say, as a Canadian, I and a number of my friends are considering moving away from Canada if America goes full totalitarian (which is looking likely, if not this election then the next). It’s essentially America-lite here now, but with a higher cost of living and lower salaries. Most of us are thinking New Zealand or Ireland.

There’s actually a Python-based framework that can make mobile apps called Kivy, but as you might expect it would not be terribly performant.

And the caption is a play on lyrics from their song “Head Like A Hole”

"bow down before the one you serve

You’re going to get what you deserve"

Neat! Does it recognise all of the hardware? How does it perform?

Sorry for the Gen X erasure 😞
