What makes you say that? He is clearly promising a lot of things to happen, and he's confirmed he would be a dictator "the first day".
I know politicians bullshit a lot, but I am not so sure he doesn't intend to follow through on at least some of the very outlandish shit he's promised so far.
Wait, what? If he's retired, why is he running for PM?
Never saw the video for that song, but yeah, that's pretty much what I imagine would happen.
Once the humidity gets high enough this doesn't really work anymore, at least, in my personal experience. Wet clothes stay wet, but you're still sweating.
To each their own of course, but I'm perfectly fine dressing for the cold. Sure, once temperatures get below -35C it's not the most comfortable to be outside and you'll want to get good at layering, but I still much prefer it over the inverse (temperatures of 35C and over).
I live in Canada today, and used to live in Sweden. I'm perfectly fine with winter and heating the house, dressing for it, etc. I'll compromise my stance by saying early spring is nice, but man do I hate summer heat and humidity. And don't get me started on mosquitoes and other summer bugs.
Too bad about the cost of living there, but it sounds like absolute paradise outside of that.
I'd live in perpetual winter if I could. You can dress for the cold, but at some point the heat and humidity make it impossible to be comfortable outside regardless of your outfit.
Every time I hear the guy speak I can't imagine him in a room with any other world leaders not turning into an open brawl. Even if I agreed with his politics, the fact that he's so full of himself would turn me off of voting for this windbag.
Solasta actually plays pretty well with an old Steam Controller and the right controller mapping, but I can see where you're coming from on a controller without a touchpad input.
Not here to comment on whether you are right (because you are) but more to report the whiplash of realising 20 years ago is still in the 2000s. Mentally, 20 years ago puts something early nineties to me.
Thanks, that does actually help out of into context and explains how we got here. I think the better question (and the one I should've asked) is why are we still using a system that predates the railroad?
As much as I hate to pin hopes on a hail mary like that, this is likely the only scenario where we will get voting reform to happen. The party in power has no incentive to change the system that brought them to power in the first place, so we're basically gambling on an outgoing party using their last days of holding onto power to make it happen. Just writing this out makes me wonder how we ever got here in the first place. Who thought first-past-the-post was anywhere near a functional system to begin with?
It's certainly a bit leading in question 1 and doesn't explain the differences in question 2. I don't think it was outright intended to influence people's decisions, but it sure didn't help either.
Couldn't agree more. Politics (and politicians by extension) should represent the constituents, not force the constituents to fit into one of two camps. The whole system is backwards currently and the sooner we fix it, the better we'll all be for it.
What boggles my mind though is that three consecutive pollings on electoral reform have failed here in BC (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/electoral-reform-referendum-results-1.4954538). You'd think people would like to get rid of FPTP but apparently they consistently vote in favor of the status quo.
It's almost like a system that awards power on a winner-takes-all basis results in suboptimal representation of your population. Who would've though? /s
Personally, I think the first golden age ended with the decline of the shareware model that was used by many of the classics in the nineties.
Sure, it wasn't the decline of shareware that ended it, but de decline of the model went hand in hand with the rising cost of development and longer development timeframes that ended the games boom of the nineties.
That's my take at least. Might just be an old man with rose tinted (shareware) glasses.
That's exciting - I'll be keeping a close eye on this as it's likely what will make me switch to Linux for gaming in the near future.
HORI has been around for a good whole, and they make what are arguably the best aftermarket Nintendo switch controllers.
Reading up on some of the more recent posts regarding VR on Linux, I'm wondering if anyone can give a quick rundown of the actual state of VR gaming on Linux for users of WMR headsets like the HP Reverb G2.
Seeing as Microsoft is about to nuke that entire ecosystem later this year, it would be great if there's a way for people that invested in these headsets to continue using them on Linux, instead of turning a whole slew of devices into fresh e-waste.
Thanks!

Hint
The name of this song is also a Celtic Frost album title.
Answer
To Mega Therion - Therion
Powers of Thagirion\ Watch the great beast to be\ For to Mega Therion\ The draconian melody\ The dragon open the eye\ And reveal both truth and lie\ Spiritual supremacy\ \ Ride the beast of ecstasy\ Spiritual supremacy\ Ride the beast of ecstasy\ Ialbaophs creative spark\ Manifests the utmost dark\ Ialbaophs creative spark\ \ Meaning the letter of Theth\ Hide the force of Baphomet\ Meaning the letter of Theth\ \ The wound of Baal will be healed\ When sign of time is unsealed\ The wound of Baal will be healed\ \ The world will burn by Sorath's flame\ And through the solar sign proclaim

First hint at 24 hours
Since it's been 24 hours, here's a hint: The crown is important
Second hint at 48 hours
Someone already guessed the band's name. And there is a reference to the song's title in both this picture and the lyrics .
Answer
Heavy lies the crown by Orange Goblin.
Who am I to, to make the rules, to break the rules and slay the fools How am I, to be the man, who rules the land, with sword in hand Fire roars, upon the sores that carry heroes off to war Heavy lies the crown I wear, but I did swear this weight to bear
We stand for truth and honour And on the morning tide We head to war together Beneath the Northern sky And Odin's ravens lead us on to victory.

Tap for spoiler
Savatage - Strange wings
Hint: This band tragically lost their guitarist in a car crash (driving a Mazda RX7-FD at the time). They eventually broke up and now tour as an orchestra playing symphonic Christmas music.
