Starcraft 2 has the best control scheme out of all the RTS games that I have played. I wish Age of Empires 2 could put the map on the left, then I would be way better at using it.

Fog of war

Just play Terran and scan, hurr durrrrrrr. Interestingly, AoE2 has a game option of letting everyone see each other by default.

What better place to use this meme:

If it’s anything like Toronto Pearson International Airport it’s a crapshoot.

Step 0: With kids, corralling the children takes a while and can be like herding cats.

Step 1: Just getting to the airport, from 40km away if you are driving/Taxi, it will take from 20 minutes or 2 hours+ to get to the airport. People who use YYZ often live further than that so add any additional time from that. The Union Pearson Express train is only useful if you are trying to get from Union to Pearson or somewhere between. The 900 bus from Kipling, local TTC routes, Go Bus, MiWay, Brampton Transit all feel second class and you get the same rush hour traffic.

Step 2: Check-in. Domestic flights are fine because not as many people check bags and the counter is quick or you can often skip it entirely. International flights have long, long lines at the counter so add an hour.

Step 3: Security. Another crapshoot depending on whether you are there at peak time. Could be 5 minutes, could be an hour or more to get through.

Step 4: Attending to food and washroom needs. Since it’s not possible to know exactly how long this process will go, if unprepared, random food and bathroom stops may be necessary.

So all in all preparing for the worst by leaving/preparing to go at 6:30 for a 14:00 flight is not unheard of when flying via Pearson.

Speaking as a nonAmerican, I’d think this should be brought to the US courts as constitutionally unsound per the 4th amendment (and in Canada the 8th section of the Charter), shouldn’t people be protected from unreasonable search?

Canada’s Privacy Commissioners agree that it violates a reasonable expectation of privacy: https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/opc-news/news-and-announcements/2021/nr-c_210203/

The fact that the technology makes it capable for an officer to conduct a search for not work related reasons only to be caught much later in audits, makes me think this should be banned.

Flying a VTOL aircraft seems out of reach for me as most are either helicopters or military, but an EVTOL seems like something that could be in reach for me within my lifetime.

I agree. I haven’t posted much to my local subs these days.

The way to get your feed feeling more how you want is either to block communities you don’t like, or subscribe only to communities you like.

The communities are patchwork and so the growth rate is not uniform, the TPBS group are recent Reddit refugees that migrated over all together which is why they are a bit of an outsize group on our small and humble server.

I agree that a default/local feature set would be great, I’ve been talking about community groups (multicommunities, tags, whatever) should be a thing for months, things that would make it a little easier for users and server admins to curate the experience, because I admit it the feed can feel a bit chaotic when not logged in.

He forgot to mention that these radical NDP policies actually helped your average British Columbian…

Omg what an idiot. In a similar vein, we and the creatures of our earth needs light and sound to survive but that doesn’t mean light and noise pollution aren’t real.

Apple’s may start being salty and blame everything on anti-trust from now on.

Why were your beans cold this morning? EU’s DMA.

Why did you get delayed to your event? EU’s DMA.

Why did it rain on the one day you were planning to take a trip? EU’s DMA, of course.

Has anybody seen anyone who could be an anti-Christ around here?

Opt-in is a huge boon! Glad that feedback was taken to heart, I think Mastodon users will accept Bridgy Fed with more open arms.

I select the most proximate lever in each cluster, using any criteria that would produce a beginning of a discrete order (so no ties for first). If I get infinite “tries” then even if it is an infinitesimally small chance of selecting the functional lever, at some point I will expect to get it.

Glad I got to see it one last time this past year… many memories and a lot of the exhibits I remembered from before are still there.

The legendary sixth wheel attachment. Bonus sedan delivered to the next destination at no extra charge.

Legislate longer minimum rest breaks for truckdrivers.

I haven’t encountered such a setting on android myself but perhaps some have and I suggested as a good starting point to ask around on the topic.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Secret child-man? Or conspicuous man-child?

No one person/company/entity can know everything about me.

Well, they could, but the price would be high and I suppose I’d end up dating someone who went through that level of effort to know me anyway. :P

Trrra… Tut tut! Tut! Trrra… tatatut!
