  As someone who works on private wells and water systems, its always baffling to me when someone with a “hunt camp” more luxurious than any house I’ll ever afford is complaining about the cost of our services. Like dude your “camp” is 2000 sqft and and 200 kms from the nearest city. Yea its gonna cost a bit to make your well water clean, clear, and safe to drink while running on a solar system.

  They’ll even start to question my wage and why the bill costs so much (as if i have any say) completely tone death to the struggles of people outside their class. They imply if i was paid less their bill would be much cheaper despite me barely making enough to own my own tiny home and my wages really aren’t a major cost on the bill.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Canada was going to have the inequality anyway. The immigration is a scapegoat for the declining quality of life but many policy decisions outside of immigration were already impacting quality of life. The housing bubble and oligarchy/monopoly of major sectors (grocceries, telecommunications etc) are the main issues driving inequality in Canada.

  Canada could support its ambitious immigration goals if it were willing to invest in the country to support them, such as extensive public transit overhauls and nationalizing essential services like rail, communications, and energy.

  Are you able to see your memories more like dreams or are your memories more like a vibe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game library⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive just come to accept regular crashed and autosave as often as i can. I consider 1 crash an hour or less to be stable enough

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game library⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I started trying to make rules for my build. I had a few mods to help with it like paying blacksmiths or alchemists to craft for you if that skill wouldn’t have made sense for the character.

  I tried to pick 1 main combat and 1 side combat of close, ranged, or magic and pick one of the 3 crafting trees. I also tried to walk or take the carriage as often as possible. A mod added more carriage locations and some ferrys. I did dabbled with some realisitic weight and survival mods but i found that stuff too tedious. Although i did like carrying gems over gold as some of them had a better weight to value ratio.

  Ah yes, lets do an orc warrior build, and focus on one handed weapons and shields. With a side dabbling of stealth archer.

  For instrumental rock I like Nick Johnston’s work, IAH is also pretty good. Listened to a lot more artists when i was studying in college but have forgotten many of them.

  Justin Johnson is an instrumental blues/country/rock guitarist with a pretty wide range of sounds.

  For more classical style music I’ll often just find a playlist but the album that got me into that style was the Child of Light soundtrack by Couer de Pirate. Actually many video game soundtracks and artists are great instrumental music, work from Jeremy Soule is often relaxing and fantasy driven, Marty O’Donnell is known for his work on the Halo soundtracks and has some great instrumental/orchestral rock tracks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We all do this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The music for me can vary, i find music without lyrics is easier to concentrate with. Stuff that sounds classical or instrumental rock/metal is what i tend to play for concentration

  Trump may be more public and arrogant about it, but its not like that kind of company is new to rubbing elbows with US presidents or administrations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also the day that the world found out that Hitler had a micropenis.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Single issue voters have never made any sense to me. I’ve never seen a political party platform that i agree with 100%. I try to weigh out all the party platforms, how they address different classes, issues, and geopolitics. I try to pick a platform that I think has the most potential to address some major issues with the least amount of things I’d want to protest against.

  I will vote for a party that is proposing something I’m strongly against if I think many of their other proposals are great. You can still hit the streets and protest the stuff you disagree with even if you voted for the party proposing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can vouch that a shower beer often brings my energy back post shower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you beat post-work floppiness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My schedule changes frequently. On days i start at a normal time i tend to get things done in the mornings. Days i start early i get stuff done after work. I find the best trick for getting stuff done after work is to start right away. Even sitting for just 5 minutes can be detrimental to my motivation.

  Part of what helps motivate me is in my area electricity is cheapest between 7pm and 7am. So i try to do things like laundry early in the morning and i try not to use my computer much until after 7pm. Even my wifi is often off during daytime hours (i live alone and work away from home). I know the savings are minor, but i find that extra financial incentive is all i need sometimes to wash the dishes at 6:30 pm and relax afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF BIT ME?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends where they are, how well you cleaned, and what you got rid of, probably some luck too. In my case bites were not frequent at all. There are methods to kill them without chemicals by subjecting them to certain temperatures as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF BIT ME?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven’t noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF BIT ME?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was thinking the same. I’ve been bit by a lot of things but never recall being bit by a spider (at least while conscious). Maybe 1 or 2 bites I’d believe but 5 would be incredibly unlikely.

  The lead ones are more expensive but improve the flavor of most beverages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banana⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got 2 bad things

  1. The included wrapper isn’t very rigid and can split and mash around. I’ve had several bananas turn to paste if they are forgotten about in a backpack or work their way to the bottom and end up crushed by other items.

  2. Fruit flies.

  With the rise of dead internet theory, comment bots, and bots in games, one could argue AI still mimicked them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is airtags really useful?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My work uses one to kinda track my work van. It seems to be less about surveillance and more about they know what end of towm I’m in or how far along my scheduled jobs i am. It probably isn’t that accurate as they rely on apple devices to ping but i don’t own any apple products so it just relies on any iphones i pass while driving

  This one was a bit ahead of its time, if it debuted 3-4 years ago or later i think it would have gotten even more attention and views.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say lying is not a great idea if its someone you’d like a sexual relationship with as they’re going to find out anyway. That said the right answer is all about context. You could spin it playfully and use the find out type of lines or stay mysterious with something like “a man can’t share all their secrets”. If you’ve got the confidence you can give them an accurate number or idea of size visually. I’d bet the confidence/delivery of the response matters more than the actual number for most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use spotify and i was very reluctant to start. Eventually i caved because i wanted an algorithm to help me find new music and for the most part spotify does a decent job at that. As things get more expensive it will be one of the first things I’ll cut out.

  The lab is a much more controlled environment. I trust a lab tech to dispose of the tips as per protocol, which could reduce the number of tips that end up as litter.
