For years I thought Raspberry Beret by Prince was actually Raspberry Parade. I had only ever heard the song through tinny garbage store speakers so forget about hearing the verses of the song. All I knew was that there was this wacked out chick that held a raspberry parade she had found in a second hand store that may have been acquired by coming in through the out door.
I just chalked it up to goofy 80s lyrics.
A lot of the users on here just lurk and don't participate in discussions. That's how you get a community with 10 or 20 subscribers and only a couple of active members that actually contribute.
Is the current makeup of city council one that can work well with Chow? I don't follow local Toronto politics to closely.
Doing some searching online it seems the claim normally made is that all steel rivets wouldn't have prevented the sinking but could have slowed it enough to allow more passengers to be rescued.
To provide a bit more context lower grade iron rivets were used because of supply shortages at the time. Higher quality steel rivets were still used for the midsection of the boat with iron rivets being used on the ends.
I'm just going to chime in to note that I'll be blocking this community. I'm simply not interested in having a community entirely reliant on a bot to generate the illusion of activity in my feed.
Nice to see SimCity 3000 on there. I know 4 is more feature complete. Especially with all the mods available for it. But there's a certain atmosphere to 3000 that I just enjoy more.
Fun fact SimCity 3000 wasn't even playable for a few years because the DRM was so invasive that Windows blocked it as a security threat.
Most of the fight against the province is currently going on at the municipal level.
To use one example. Despite the blatant short term profit seeking legislated in the More Homes Built Faster act it may have the unintended consequence of forcing denser more efficient neighborhoods that aren't a sinkhole on local budgets. Not Just Bikes over on Youtube has a quick introduction to the issue here. Local governments, notably Brampton and Mississauga would temporarily balance the books with the collection of developer fees creating a subdivision ponzi scheme that worked as long as you still had future land to develop on. This legislation completely breaks that cycle and now everyone in those cities is going to feel the hurt for a bit while property taxes are jacked up to better reflect the real cost of low density sprawl. The new realities, as well as public consultation will shape how development works going forward. It's easier than you'd think to get involved in that process and can largely be accomplished purely through online feedback. I'll admit your experience will vary from one local government to another.
Personally I was involved in helping conduct an inventory of historical buildings in my local area also in response to the More Homes Built Faster act. It didn't get a lot of traction in the news but the act also gutted the Ontario Heritage Act leaving local governments scrambling to document and designate notable historical structures before they're stripped of protection and left to the mercy of developers.
It's Lecce. Don't expect anything resembling reality outta that guy.
As for cursive itself the only positives I've seen mentioned in research and in anecdotal conversations is that physically writing information down helps with memory retention as opposed to typing it out on a keyboard. Although I'd imagine the same could be said about simply printing it out by hand.
It'll be interesting to see what style they introduce in this new curriculum. Looking at examples online my style fits mostly with the Zaner-Bloser method.
Nice. I know most here are used to how Reddit structures their content, or are on the federation bandwagon. Personally I'm just happy to see the internet get a little more decentralized.
On a related note I should set up and play around with some old school forum software. It's been a few years since I've looked at it.
The big draw for him might be Minetests moddability. All of a games content is in .lua files and it can be modified with just a basic text editor. An easy thing to do would be to change the mining time of a pickaxe or change the number of planks you get from a wood block. If he really gets into it, it's possible to create a game from the ground up without relying on the base Minetest Game.
Best bet would be to set him up with the Minecraft clone game. This can be done by going to the Content tab in the menu. Select Browse Online Content. On the second page is Mineclone2.
That Skyfactory series is probably the most rewatchable one.
I'd also give a nod to Project Ozone 2. Half the fun of that one is watching Etho trying to manage buggy or outright broken garbage mods.
Probably my favourite map for all the little details it contains. Apparently Puslinch lake had good bass fishing. Old Stage Rd was considered an old road even back then. I'd love to know more of the history behind that. Dundas St was shite past Woodstock. It even mentions good and bad inns.
Every time I look at this map there's something new I discover.
I'll echo the sentiments of others in that darkly compact is a very welcome theme option. I think I'm mostly just happy to see a theme that isn't some mobile first trash.
