  • For me, I dislike (and as a child, hated) the texture of onions. Onion as a flavour has always been fine, it was biting them that was the problem.

    Caramelize the onions a bit and blend half into a paste, ask which one tastes bad. If they answer that only the chunky onion is bad, teach them about texture preferences.

    My workplaces malwarebyte’s settings end the excel process tree if it tries to run a script that accesses other M$ products.

    Was super annoyed when I discovered that while trying to script in an email template for the form I was making, since at the time staff never cc’d the correct people and would then bitch out finance for not paying them.

    Wait, are they really claiming to be registering as actual Nazi’s now???

    For anyone that somehow doesn’t know, Nazi was originally an abbreviation for Nationalsozialist (German for National Socialist). Its kind of insane that these fake democrat twitter bots are claiming to be switching teams to the literal Nazi party, instead of republican/maga.

    Don’t read/make comments while half asleep kids, makes you look dumb.

    In case you are asking about the original post and not the follow up joke, its a reference to western gay culture, which may be a bit difficult to explain, as there’s a few layers to it.

    • there’s a lot of code switching (essentially changing outward personality) between your friends, close friends, gay friends, family, etc, depending on what they are comfortable with/how uncomfortable you want to make them. Having multiple phone numbers would be a way of separating the way of speaking based on what number you are texting from
    • multiple phone numbers is also a good way of separating you personal/work/sexual contacts
    • there is also a culture of both blocking your flings on all social media/texting/etc, but then making alt accounts to stalk them/check up on how their lives are going. Having multiple phone numbers could help with authenticating those alt accounts, and also gives you a way of bypassing their blocks on you for either harassment or apologies, or even just to ask for a night out with them (even if its specifically to spite a 3rd party, and not because you wish to make up with the person you blocked)
    • ‘X thing is homophobic because it inconveniences my gay ass in this moment’ is a popular meme (as pointed out by my spouse)
    • probably another layer I am too autistic/not enough in the community to get
    • honestly, my first few points are probably very much over thinking it




  • Yeah if it weren’t for the laundry list of glitches and no new releases since I think 2022 (the December 2023 date was a mistake, there was no change at all, it just overwrote the release date) I would also be using neo. But i got really tired of accidentally resetting all my damn widgets because I moved an icon wrong, and having to manually remake them since they wouldn’t restore from backup.



  • My favourite thing is we have discovered it is possible to get a mew in red/blue/probably green directly after finishing nugget bridge.

    Its not even that difficult, though catching Abra can be time consuming if you aren’t abusing save states.

    I can’t remember which trainer triggers the mew fight, but the basic steps are as follows:

    1. After beating the last trainer on nugget bridge, go immediately to the left and down, and hunt for an Abra in the patch of grass (avoid the trainer there as they can be used for an advanced version of this glitch later. Make sure you do not delete teleport when you get the Abra.
    2. Go to the right of nugget bridge. Try and keep the trainers 1 space off screen, and line yourself up with where they will appear.
    3. Step into their line of sight, and press start before the encounter script triggers.
    4. Go to pokemon, select Abra, and use teleport.
    5. Walk back up towards nugget bridge. Once you cross over to another area (eg enter a route from town) a battle will trigger!
    6. This pokemon will always be level 7, with set stats. Each trainer will always force the spawn of the same pokemon, and when you are able to encounter dittos, you can actually forcefully spawn any pokemon you want based on your Pokemon’s special stat.




  • And I don’t drive a large crossover, I drive an escape phev, carpool with 2 other people, and use it for more than just ‘30 pounds of groceries’.

    I have filled it to the brim and gone camping multiple times this year, use it to transport my recycling to the transfer station every couple months, and at least twice a year do a large grocery shop at the Costco 4 hours away, stuffing it as full as I can manage.

    I regularly use it to transport things that wouldn’t fit in a vehicle smaller than this one. Hell, I managed to stuff my stove in the thing, though only just barely.

    For my daily commute, since I charge it both at home and at work, I only burn 3-4L of gas, which I would say is quite good for nearly 150km.

    The only way for my daily/weekly/monthly/yearly routine to be more eco friendly is if I could afford to trade it in for a full electric vehicle - and with the trips I do on a regular basis (including camping, day trips to the ‘nearby’ lakes, occasional work driving), I would need something with a range above 600km, preferably 700km to be safe in the winter. Otherwise I would have to maintain 2 vehicles - one an electric with a range of at least 200km and the other a small truck or mid sized SUV, and that kind of defeats the entire purpose.


  • While Canada making its own affordable, long range EV’s would be ideal in the long run, we literally have no canadian-owned production facilities or brands that currently can, or do produce low or mid end cars, and Canada seems to have no interest in subsidising those.

    Which means, in the short run, I want a vehicle I can afford to buy that doesn’t give me range anxiety, and the only reason I can’t is because Canada literally doubled the price of the cars that currently exist that fit my requirements because the US asked them to.


  • That works in the city but i live in a remote area, and have an hour and a half round trip to work every day because its not economically viable for me to move closer.

    Since I doubt Canada/BC will spend the money putting in viable public transit/high speed rail, I just want them to do the bare minimum to allow me to afford to stop burning gas to afford my next meal.

    While striving for turning every small town into a walkable city sounds great and amazing on paper, the reality is it won’t happen, so we should push for baby steps in the right direction instead only focusing on the absolute ideal.
