A parking lot of Senators, landmines, drones, and digital communications and EW suites for every municipality that can support the manpower.

It's why I like Vintage Story, first you think it's like weird Minecraft but then you're in deep cursing that it's gonna take like three in game years to grow enough fiber to make a sail for a tiny boat, which is like 240 hours of in game time.

I think: Wow, what a humorless loser, I bet he- "- from my X feed" Yuuuup...

This is a nifty project that my colleagues at @canadianshieldinstitute.ca have been working on: An interactive map of all of the trade and economic development deals that Canada has signed since Mark Carney became Prime Minister. variablegeometry.ca

Nobody: WSJ on a random Tuesday: Canada put the transatlantic relationship like a wounded horse and European leaders are having poly-flavoured little get togethers in dramatic halls of power to talk shit about the guy they all hate and the dreamy ex-banker they love

Another very, very interesting article. Insane detail in here.

Listen man, it's okay, you don't have to help me beat up this random guy in the alley, but that makes us even from that time you said no to letting me go through your wallet and take whatever I want.

And there it is. Noah has been covering this since the 2024 RFI, and has a great postmortem after the announcement where he suggests why TKMS likely prevailed, and what we can probably look forward to with the 212.

Don't call it a comeback

This is not only just our biggest single procurement ever, this is likely to dictate the direction of the rest of our procurement push, more European kit, the purchase of which we may try and leverage for trade concessions and reciprocal investment.

America is hitting the milestones of being a mature established country for its 250th like bribing the head of FIFA, dealing with fascist paramilitaries in the streets of your capital, and having some listless second in command getting into a pissing match with the Pope.

I wish Morocco a happy loss to France

Doesn't look like a sustainable pace for Canada but it is absolutely vicious and buckling Morocco's defence. Of course whether they can turn this into a goal remains to be seen, CanMNT is addicted to not converting good chances lol...

Nothing to wake you up like a cheap airline pilot hitting a Navy carrier special of a landing at the end of a sleepy regional flight

Cabo played like absolute lions

FIFA called that one in

This Album and a 4pm pint of Sapporo at the airport right now

I went to an Evangelical school as a kid, and neither me or my parents figured that out until about a decade+ removed when I looked up the church it was affiliated with when I was bored.

On this Canada day, we remember our two great building styles: Haunted Hotel with the mean ghosts, or Matrix Fight Scene Gigastructure

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 "The Canada we are building lies beyond the horizon of such fears. Yet it is not, for all that, an unreal country, forgetful of the hearts of men and women. We know that justice and generosity can flourish only in an atmosphere of trust." - Pierre Elliot Trudeau, 1982

It took me months to figure out how to extract 30,000 careers from the Colonial Office List; it took a little over a day to repeat the full process for the Indian Office List. The visualization now shows the very different global geography of these two bureaucracies in the British Empire.

Cmdr. Alexa, play Little Dark Age by MGMT, aye

GOOAAAAAAAAL

Project managing my worldbuilding so hard I feel like I should be submitting this shit as time towards a PMP

Vova, I don't feel so good...

Nothing Ever Happens theory of Canada, our housing market is what it would be like if 2008 didn't happen and now Carney's dragging us into a future where 2016 never happened.

You shouldn't be able to get a coffee in Congress, the White House or the Pentagon without running into at least three CSIS agents.

I'm gonna subtweet some expert on the other place. Why do you, as an esteemed, published SME on a topic, go into a thread and just say "No, I don't think you're right, OP" and then just not follow it up with any justification when people ask you why you believe that???

Genuinely entering CarneyHammer 40k, alone in a galaxy of unending slopulism, the banker sits immortal on his slim majority. There is no radical reform amongst the provinces, only an eternity of technocratic instruments and working groups, and the laughter of thirsting algorithms.

RUSI's Jack Watling had an interesting piece on Ukrainian offensive maneuver here- in a keynote a little while back he noted that this model has continued to be successful, the main issue is proliferating it across the force. Recruitment and rotation help with that.

Hard hitting international journalism from our great national broadcaster (you'd think it was about London, Ontario, but no, straight up London London)

And she tore that shit up too. It's a beautiful place with great people who deserve neither the IRGC boot or American missiles overhead.

Stop reposting this, that is not a healthy weight for a Viper to be! All these owners are giving their Multiroles too much jetfuel, causing them to grow extra CFTs and drop tanks, making them unhealthy, it's fighter abuse!

If she doesn't contact me through hardened NERC compliant Green VM in the form of a perfectly calibrated Hot Line Tag curve for a 60kv radial distribution feeder I don't want her.

I hate to be this guy but while hitting oil infra in Moscow is great, and is a strong blow, it doesn't move the dial in the fight massively, the front line is still in a tenuous stalemate and we likely will still need to back Ukraine for years more until economic effects on Russia magnify.

Amero-HK51, you surely will enjoy firing battle rifle pressures out of a suppressed carbine barrel, in fact you'll enjoy it so much you won't remember that you even did!

Desperately trying to explain my issues with 5e are about implied tone and mechanical bloat when half the guys into the systems I run are like "I play this older version because new D&D is GAY and GIRLS play it"

Me: everywhere has a variety and good and bad food Random people online:

I appear to have been mentioned by an account that posts exclusively about how dead Evanescence is with occasional breaks to wish death upon the usual suspect, this site is awesome

Actually both European and North American metropoles have strong international food scenes, as well as rural backwaters full of mush and slop. And pretending otherwise is kind of ignorant.

Blacksmith: AT LAST, I CAN FORM AND WELD PLATES OF STEEL INTO WHOLE ARMOUR PIECES, NEITHER SWORD NOR BOLT CAN PIERCE IT Two dudes definitely not hiding wheel lock muskets behind their backs: Uhh, yeah man, that's awesome uh haha, that's so cool, no more crossbows for us I guess haha

Oh yeah, it was strange with that at the beginning of the Cold War as well when yall really dove into helping African countries decolonize! Tanzania is still super happy with their old Canadian friends and their retired military leadership has fond memories of Camp Borden and the like.

Interesting article on the Vard CDC proposal!

Guy on the bed of a pickup in the desert/jungle: At first I thought we were going to be saved when the destroyers pulled in, but then they said we had to do a few quick modules and sign some forms, now we have a unionized HR department and this horrible coffee with a lottery in the rim of each cup.

Our chief advantage is that they don't know shit about us and think they do.

Desperately trying not to really enjoy my time in Vancouver because I just signed up to live in a remote area for most of a decade face: This japchae, pork belly, and soju is okay I guess... And so was the lamb karahi I had yesterday, and the pork bao before that... And the weather was okay...
