I've been to Quebec. They'll poutine ANYTHING. There are so many variations on the theme, nobody would bat an eye at that.

"BC Premier Calls Out Treasonous Activity of Alberta Separatists"

Mountain Town is located "about halfway between Port Mary and the interior mountains", so it also may connect there, even if it's blocked off with the cave-in. So it makes sense for MT to connect via Blackrock to Port Mary. It's hard to see how that'll work - maybe MT to Pleasant Valley or Keeper's Pass. Then that would plausibly connect it to BR and PM.

Edit: Keeper's Pass South has a collapsed tunnel that definitely leads to MT, so that answers that. So the Port Mary connection probably happens via Pleasant Valley, past Thompson's Crossing through the blocked-off curve there.

Oh, and we know Mountain Town is supposed to connect to Blackrock somehow. It seems like they'd need a pretty substantial transition region between those two to justify it.

It really lays bare some missing pieces. Like there's no road that goes to Mountain Town currently that connects into the wider network. And the future rail link after it terminates in Coastal Highway certainly has to go north to either Port Mary or Perseverance Mills.

I hope it works! I've been meaning to try rolling them out before freezing them, which also seems pretty smart.

I am open to the idea but it would have to start with Schengen. I'm not sure our economy would do well if we couldn't float our currency.

Parchment might work better. Less microplastics, and then it can go straight from freezer to counter to oven without leaving the parchment.

You can make and freeze dough, too. I do a batch of cold fermented pizza dough and then divide the balls into mason jars and put them in the freezer. Not that much work. Just have to remember to pull the jar out lunchtime for dinner pizza.

 

I learned two things today.

1: the quonset in CH is named "Quincy's Quonset".

2: It has what looks like an EV charger station now. Nice. That was definitely not the case a few years ago.

[–] rbos@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Yeah. That would be multiuse and be useful faster

It takes decades for pil pipelines to turn a profit. By the time that happens, we probably won't be needing the oil, with tech moving so fast. I think the money better spent preparing for that.

 

Various bugfixes.

I'm a little choked up.

18 years is a pretty good run for a cat, but yeah.

 

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.

 
 

Some pretty neat stuff in here about upcoming visual changes, and minor updates about episode 5 and Blackfrost.

"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)."

 

Pretty catchy song.

 

Mostly bugfixes. Cooking UI keyboard updates. Performance tweaks.

 

This is a pretty cool event. $100 for basic, $150 for VIP. We really enjoyed it last year.
