I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.

As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago

In terms of race wins, yeah it would be nice to see some variety. But if you ignore what’s going on with Max, it’s still exciting to watch the rest of the field changing round race after race. AM, Merc, Ferrari and now McLaren keeping us guessing who else is going to be on the podium, and Checo being a bit of a wildcard keeps the races interesting at least.

Toto coming on the radio saying “We know the car is bad, just drive it” was hilarious. Hamilton was so salty about the early penalty. Meanwhile Verstappen, Leclerc, and Nando got along just fine keeping the cars on track.

Disco Elysium. Fantastic writing and pretty hilarious at times.

It’s also pretty good as a portable PC when traveling too, so that’s nice.

Well deserved too - getting the jump on Max at the start of the race and fending off Lewis on a slower tire at the end can’t have been easy even with the car’s improved pace.

You take a break from roasting marshmallows over a camp fire to go solve the deepest mysteries of the universe.

Right? The corporate double-speak just makes Huffman look like a moron.

Some quick googling and it seems the crossing length to the island is similar to the crossing of the English Channel (40 - 50km). The Channel tunnel depth is about 115m below sea level, whereas the Straight of Georgia has an average depth of ~150m per Wikipedia. The Channel tunnel cost about 21 billion pounds (~$36billion CAD in 2021 dollars) to complete, so I’d imagine a tunnel to Vancouver Island would be at least the same if not more. Doesn’t seem worth it for the size of the population crossing even if it were possible.

Fallout: NV and Skyrim. People kept recommending them to me but neither really clicked. I put about 20 hours into each before just kinda dropping them and not looking back. Even tried mods since everyone says they’re better modded, but just found I was spending more time modding the games than playing them. Maybe Bethesda games just aren’t my thing.
