Oh, I didn’t even mention the towns we have that are named after much smaller places. Our Calgary is much bigger than the original, and I also live near a Colonsay, which while tiny is about double the size of the one in Scotland.

All of North America is weird like that. I live within an easy drive of Stockholm, Kandahar, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Aberdeen, Hague, and Moose Jaw.

One step closer to a solar powered laser beam guitar.

You mean Star Trek? But where are the suffering people?

On the planets in the Cardassian/Federation neutral zone…

Split the repository? It’s not an unreasonable thing to do.

That said, FreeBSD’s repo is 2ish GiB, and Linux is 3, LLVM is huge too. Not unreasonable to want to mirror those.

Mine will tell me the measured pressures of all tires. But only if at least one is low. I haven’t found a way to get it to just tell me the pressure in any tire if it’s not throwing an error at me.

Dear Mazda, you have a full user interface in your vehicle. Why can’t you let me see the tire pressure from just a menu option?

My daily keyboard’s a 40%.

I also use a keyboard with a numpad. And I have a standalone numpad for rare occasions.

Clearly it’s a queef Dutch oven.

The British one wouldn’t be the best choice. Not exactly powerful…

When Canada abolished the penny I was advocating for renaming our currency the pound, just so we could divide it up into 20 shillings. Each shilling would of course still be 5¢.

There will be holdouts. In my part of Canada all the rural roads are laid out in a 1 mile x 2 mile grid. Nobody every says a farm is 3.2km away. It’s 2 miles. Even changing all the road signs is cheaper than moving roads to make more sense in the metric system.

Otherwise for long-ish distances we’re completely metric.

It’s weirder when you look at Canada vs USA. Mileage here is usually written L/100km, but back in the day the cars were exactly the same but the mileage in Canada was better because the the US gallon is only ~83% the size of a proper gallon.

It’s been Canada’s official standard for decades. It’s just starting to hit the general population though.

Can’t be, it hasn’t completely disintegrated yet.

Looks like what happens when a house hippo grows up.

The ADL confirms, your comment is anti-semitic.

Looks like the instances that have defederated the most other instances, rather than been defederated by the most.

Not really. Modern games will claim to be free to play, with many parts of the game hidden behind microtransactions, or they’ll be paid with the option to buy more.

Doom never claimed to be free to play. It was always 100% up front that the shareware version wasn’t much more than a playable demo. The paid version of Doom was the complete game.

Yup. Trans or not a girl should be allowed to wear a suit or a dress. So should a boy. As long as it qualifies as “formal” for either group it ought to qualify for the other.

So… is it possible to afford to live there these days without being Donald Trump, JK Rowling, the King, or clergy?
