‘The best job no one wants’: early silence greets B.C. Conservative leadership void in c/britishcolumbia@lemmy.ca

Hard to picture the person who could mollify that godawful cadre of perpetual malcontents.

Another article missing the point of the Canadian boycotts entirely.

No doubt. Having seen BPD at work, though... it's hard to imagine a more intense assortment of trigger conditions.

BPD and poly sounds like a nightmare.

I don't think it would have been possible to keep it out. :/

Harrison Lake, in BC, Canada, is supposed to have a landslide of similar magnitude that could let go at any time. Some people think the slosh from that might reach as far as the US border, across several municipalities. A couple hundred thousand people.

So that'll be fun.

I try to notice it but often fail.

The Heechee series by Fred Pohl uses a reasonable system, including relativity. A major plot point is that you can get into one of their magic ships, press the button, and pray your food halfway point holds out until the ship flips to brake.

Smaller plates genuinely helped me reduce portion sizes.

We don't deserve that. We shouldn't maybe be surprised, but nobody deserves that.

If it was 'he' nobody would have questioned it, which kinds gives me pause for thought.

HOV lanes and EVs (lemmy.ca)
 

Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?

Interesting comment on a post.

Tldr: Zebra Mussels reach a balance that prevents them from being a totally catastrophic invasive.

"The Department of Government Efficiency, Musk's vehicle. made news by "discovering" the General Services Administration uses tapes, and plans to save $1M by switching to something else (disks, or cloud-based storage)."

twin emperors as paladin tank (lemmy.ca)

I'm having a bit of struggle tanking (prot paladin) Vek'linash. I'm able to hold threat on him fine, but unbalancing strike (-100 defense) rocks me pretty hard, since I keep getting scarabs on me, which eats up all my HS charges and I'm pretty sure that's pushing me into crittable range as well as crushable.

I've taken consecrate off my bars and de-runed HotR for exorcism, but I keep getting the scarabs too, and then get rocked down to 20% health.

Any advice? I've stacked as much +def as I can and am using Greater Stoneshields and armour elixirs as well as the usual suite of ALL THE CONSUMABLES.
