Knew a pilot who's nickname was über. Last name? Guay.

A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It's really worth the watch and I'd love to hear back from you if you do.

If you're a gamer there's a Telltale game that follows this account's namesake. Camina Drummer.

The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it's on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.

The Expanse may be the best bit of sci-fi I have ever had the joy to watch and read.

Reading this felt like the computer version of whatever the SAW movies are.

Torture porn? It's so repugnant but I want more.

Wished'I'd've

That they are. I just found them recently. They're certainly out of my usual wheelhouse but I've really been enjoying a lot of old folk and country. This kinda bridges the gap perfectly.

It means it gives off middle child vibes. What more do you want?

People round these parts say the day first, then the month. Anything else is attention seeking middle child vibes.

You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!

They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I'd be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.

$3.94 CAD/2.74 USD at food basics in rural Ontario.

$2 for 12 eggs from a friend's chickens.

No. But 2024, the 25th of July is clumsy both spoken and written.

July 25th, 2024 is okay but gives off middle child vibes.

25th of July, 2024 is ordered small to big, rolls off the tongue and when written nicely seperates both sets of numbers for ease of readability.

The only other alternative I will accept is Julian dates. Today is Day 26 of 2025.

Don't you mean: "Right there! Stop you, I'm going to."

Yoda-ass date structure.

What day, of what month, of what year is it? It's ordered by importance dammit!

Such a great video. Such a great channel too.

Éowyn probably.

So... About that. We were going to do that.

The government fast tracked the order of 80 F-35s because they fit our needs perfectly. There were complaints and lawsuits.

We cancelled the project (that we helped start with the US), lost like 100bn, did our contract hunting then settled on half the amount of F-35s for nearly double the cost.

All because we broke contract and lost our early purchase deal.

It's all very short sighted and to be honest I can't blame them for their brainwashing most of the time.

They hear if places with 30, 40, 50% tax rates and are appalled but they don't realize that the combined income of a nation can more than subsidise education, healthcare and so much more while still affording an amazing quality of life.

They call Europeans poor because they don't own 50 acres and a McMansion with 3 mud crawlers in the garage.

My buddy's wife just doesn't understand how far out tax money goes and thinks our government is just as corrupt as hers.

Significantly less so when you don't have to worry about copays, premiums and other services.

Civilised countries ask everyone to chip in and take care of one another. Your kid's booboo tomorrow and your neighbours cancer the next. All taken care of because we can. No medical poverty.

Typo on the F-16. Meant to write F-18.

As for F-35s we have a few lent to us at this time for training with 40(?) more on the way.

With about a $70bn trade deficit in Canada's favour mostly due to oil and energy exports. Which are very likely to get very expensive should we enter a trading war.

Most likely serving to make that deficit worse for America.

Tell me about it. Buddy of mine married an American, a texan, she's fairly liberal as far as they go...

She just had a baby and was granted 18 months maternity leave, didn't pay a dime, had an in home nurse due to complications. All for free.

We just talked about how she would prefer to have to pay her employer for health insurance rather than "Lose so much to these crazy taxes."

If a liberal minded, young person thinks like this, how many of them think like this? Stay to the south. Please.
