- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 1 day ago:
Okay I’ve never sorted it all out so why not.
- I’m American. I grew up with all the usual “ha ha France sucks” jokes, not directed at me though, NBD.
- My grandfather was originally from New Brunswick, Canada; I have a very obviously French last name.
- Canada has long been a punchline in America, but a good-natured “big brother-little brother” kind, not like “haha you ran like a bitch” kind of way.
- But France has historically been a badass, and one defeat (even a huge one) out of many fights does not a wimp make.
- French Canadians have a reputation for being kinda jerks, but mostly in Quebec - my grandad wasn’t from Quebec.
- Also he moved to America, but in the decades since then America has changed a lot.
- Modern America sucks. I kinda want to move to Canada, but have family obligations here.
- A recent legal change in Canada says that grandchildren of Canadian citizens qualify and Canadian citizens (once you prove it and the paperwork is processed).
- The family in question is very old, and America is getting worse, but I have an unfair advantage by being white and 3rd generation minimum by way my grandfather (more with other grandparents).
So yeah, it’s a complicated bouquet of feelings.

At least if that was PLA (and not a Photoshop job) there’s be no risk of it failing mid-flight. Because it would rip to shreds the second torque was applied to it.

I’m 1/4 French Canadian, I have my own feelings about France.
- Comment on Which is it?. 3 days ago:
I like the part where I refuse to eat it because it tastes like poison.
- Comment on Call now. 3 days ago:
So I looked up area code 352 and it’s apparently for the area of Gainesville FL. So I looked that up and it’s centered, right about in the line between the upper state and the peninsula. So the redneck part of Florida.

Needs more conveyor belts.
- Comment on a very tasty snack 4 days ago:
Supposedly it tastes good sliced and pan fried. I’m kinda afraid to try it in case it’s actually tasty.

Damn, that dude got more air on that jump than Michael Jordan did in his whole career.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 5 days ago:
And I don’t care if dead rich people’s family are sad; there’s still a right way to eat a pizza and it doesn’t involve a goddamn fork.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 5 days ago:
Not if you eat it correctly.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
Yah basically.
- Comment on What should I NOT do in front of rich people? 5 days ago:
If you see people eating pizza with a fork you mock them. I didn’t care if its your best friend, mother, or the goddamn Pope. Although the current Pope is from Chicago so he knows better than to eat pizza with a fork like some kind of filthy degenerate.
- Comment on What do you recommend I carry in my first wallet? 5 days ago:
Driver’s license or ID, car insurance card, credit/debit card, an emergency medical and allergy info card if you need it, medical/prescription drug insurance cards, a spare car or house key. Where you live may change that. DO NOT carry your Social Security card (US) - that should be in a secure place at home, like a safe or lockbox.

I had a more normal 3rd party controller but it was still stupidly big.

- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 6 days ago:
Most people wake up when they get cold. If you have a sleep disorder or have taken medications that make you sleepy, them it could be a problem.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Specifically in this case, at the very least it includes wild cabbage cultivars: broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and I think I’m forgetting one or two. People with one copy of the mutation tend to like such vegetables to some degree or another, well people with two copies of the mutation don’t even taste the bitterness. The taste of bitterness evolved primarily to detect poisonous plants.
