Thought the same thing, actually elated after reading the bottom text because it wasn't.

I'm taking a doombreak from doompurging my house into a doomdumpster. Doomspringcleaning if you doomwill. Doomday to you.

London Ontario, not London England

Right at the onset of March break too, how disheartening..

Lightning bugs, aka Fireflies, are harmless. Their little butts just emit flashes of light from internal chemical reaction, like a short lived glow stick. If you encounter a field with a bunch of them, it's real pretty.

I'd say an equally large issue is that of people not voting in Ontario. The election last month saw our 2nd lowest turn out in recent history, with the lowest being the election before.

I'd love ranked choice, but I'd settle for proportional. Ontario's apathy towards voting due to "my vote won't matter" or "I don't like either option" is stupid and frustrating.

I think grammatically they meant you could also get your face revoked, leading into the following sentence of being shot down.

Samsung SSDs are quite competitive on pricing these days. I saw some on Newegg.ca for under CAD$250 for 2TB which is pretty good.

When you're looking, just keep in mind the requirements from Sony, mainly sizing because it would suck to buy something that doesn't fit. Pay special attention to dimensions if you decide to go with a heatsinked stick.

More people voting could have actually changed everything. I clicked through probably 2 dozen ridings on elections.on.ca > unofficial results and only 2 had a margin greater than ~7k and some were under 1k.

Mushkegowuk—James Bay has a margin of 4.

My own riding saw the NDP incumbent also win, but only by a margin of ~1600 while being one of the higher voter turnout outs of ~51%.

Barely an increase over the last election, roughly 1.9%. This makes it the 2nd lowest voter turnout in recent history.

I really hope the promise to remove the minimum price of liquor doesn't sway people to vote for him... Reducing the minimum for beer did nothing to drop the cost of beer. Pretty sure the companies just pocketed the difference and the same will happen with liquor.

3D printer’s on the fritz, eh?

 

Pretty much the title. We bought a pig, not knowing about boar taint so didn't inquire about the state of the pig (gender, age) beforehand. First cook and it's heavily present.

Will trimming off all the fat and boning it help mitigate the taint (and crossing my fingers here so hard it hurts) or remove it altogether? Anyone have experience on this problem?

 

I do offer my humblest of apologies, but I have lost the game. I thought this may be an apt opportunity to make my first post here instead of just lurking.
