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.

Hopefully a mew decides to come check out the tattoo of one I have on my leg!

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.

I mean, I make fun of my home server all the time - its 2 old computers screwed to a wall.

10%? Try 1%… For every 1 of me in this area there are literally 10 lifted king cab shortboxes that never get used for truck purposes on the highway for the same commute as me.

The excuse is always “but I need it if I go offroad or want to tow my boat/camper to the lake!” as if they do that more than once a year.

That’s… Not at all what I am saying.

Go read the rest of the thread, where I agree the ideal is great, but we should be taking realistic steps towards it, instead of an unrealistic, all or nothing attitude that doesn’t take rural Canadians into consideration.

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.

Come on Canada, let us have cheap BYD, fuck the US economy.

Note that the nsfw purge has been happening for several years now.

Looks are also important. Botulism doesn’t have a taste or smell, but the can will often be swollen or at least pressurised, so never eat a swollen can.

Best slinky cats.

Its a domestic long hair - most cats don’t fall into a specific breed, and reddish black fur is far more common than bluish black fur.

The best you can generally do with cats is look up their colouring/marking patterns to see if that has a name, but it doesn’t really mean much breed-wise.

Which gives you really fucky barred windows that face a cement wall the same size as the window, that lets in less light than an angled window 1/4 of the size.

PS: fuck illegal basement suites in new builds in Vancouver.

I’m pretty sure its illegal to advertise a windowless room as a bedroom in Canada.

At least here in BC, every time you get a DUI the temporary suspension, breathalyser requirement, fines/fees (including a yearly fee that has to be paid before your can renew insurance based on total infraction points) and AA meetings all get increased. The first DUI costs $3000 and 3-6 months without a license, the 5th would likely cost over $15000, 18-24 months without a license, with a yearly fee of $4000 for 5 years. You would also have to do a road test if you didn’t have a valid license over (I think?) 2 years.

That reminds me, pretty sure at least one of these ai medical tests it was reading metadata that included the diagnosis on the input image.

iirc the reason it isn’t used still is because even with it being trained by highly skilled professionals, it had some pretty bad biases with race and gender, and was only as accurate as it was with white, male patients.

Plus the publicly released results were fairly cherry picked for their quality.

I am definitely not the best at networking, but can’t you do that through your current dhcp client?
