This is a clone of the killer queen arcade game. Play either by:

Good. It's fucking shameful that these MapleMAGA fuckwit douche-canoes are Canadian. Not that they want to be.

Fuck the Tele-Triad

I got into the weeds a bit more in this comment.

Before I moved from Vancouver I was working piece work, so paid by the square foot of stone installed(I'm a stone mason). I was making about the equivalent of $40/hr. With cost of food, cell, vehicle insurance, fuel, etc. I had to live with 3 other people, my rent was still about $1000/month, $1500+ with bills. For a room.

That wasn't really a great example without context. When I moved to London 2 pints of milk was 60p, 500g of really good cheese was £1.50 maybe. Rent on the last 2 bed my wife and I rented in London was £1100. The last 2 bed I rented in greater Vancouver, so 2017ish, was $3000.

My monthly car insurance before I moved in November 2020, even with exchange rate, is ⅔ of my ANNUAL cost here. My cell plan is £24pcm and I get 500gb of data, plus global roaming. 1kg of chicken breast that I just picked up today for dinner was £2 and change.

Legit. I grew up in Vancouver. When I moved to London (UK) to be with my wife I was blown away by how cheap food was. Prices are rising, inflation, COVID, Brexit, etc. still, I pay less than £2 for 2 pints(bit over a litre) of milk.
A standard shop for 2 weeks is usually around £80-100, but we get easily double what I'd get at a grocery for $80-100 PRE covid.

As a stone mason, I object to this statement. Rocks are useful.

.... MFR....do NOT leave us hanging!

I definitely would with Garuda. Like I said, they've removed basically all of the pain points of arch. I set my 70yr old dad up with Garuda, he's been using MacOS mostly and windows for work for ages. The only thing I had to show him was how to open a terminal and type "sudo update" every few weeks. Everything else is as intuitive as any other Linux distro.

Do it.

I would highly recommend Garuda Arch, takes the pain points out of Arch, more flavours than you can shake a stick at, forums are highly active with devs and mods responding quickly to issue posts.

I feel seen

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sounds about right

I rather set the car on fire

Probably would happen if you took it there for service.....

To what extent will the Americans dominate the ownership of the intellectual property rights demonstrated at this event?

90%+

A significant portion of the US military budget goes to R&D. Prior to the mango taking a second term they made a lot of that back selling the tech to "allies". Bit less so these days.....

Fuck....yeah....you got me le sigh

Well, I'm Canadian, and I live in Scotland, I think my floor gonna be alright. My condolences to you all for the upcoming lack of floors....and uhh....the other stuff too....

ROFL even

My voice is fairly deep, so even when I'm speaking quietly it travels. Beyond not wanting to have everyone on the bus hearing about my business, it's fucking rude....

Cool, I'll have a look!
