As a Canadian, I have seen exactly zero mud wrestling pits, sexy or otherwise.

Now, if you’re talking about sexy maple syrup wrestling pits, I’ve also seen zero of those, but they have more of an allure.

Yes. I prefer AntennaPod. I can’t remember why. I switched a few years ago.

Thanks for posting. That’s interesting.

Banning hunting a species the province is trying to eradicate might sound counterintuitive, but Brook said there has been no evidence that sport hunting has lowered wild boar populations. That’s partially because the animals reproduce relatively frequently and have large numbers of offspring, averaging two litters of six piglets per year, he said.

“Unfortunately, not only does hunting not eliminate them fast enough … it also breaks up groups and spreads them around the landscape, because very rarely will hunters actually remove a whole population,” Brook said.

Huh. TIL.

Yeah, I’m not sure where they get the impression that we aren’t in the middle of a crisis right now. I guess average prices in TO dropped a couple of percent, but I don’t think anyone under 50 has seen their situation improve.

The federal government already plans to spend billions of dollars in housing through Build Canada Homes. The Parliamentary Budget Officer this week estimated BCH will add 26,000 homes over the next five years, half of them subsidized.

That is not enough. CMHC says we need something like 5 million new homes by 2035 to restore housing affordability to pre-pandemic levels. 5k houses/year is nowhere near what we need. It’s nowhere near the 500,000 housing starts/year Carney was promising during the election.

Everything you said is spot on.

I had kids older. I don’t agree with OPs advice for not having kids in your twenties. I’d argue a planned pregnancy in your twenties is the way to go.

ok but what about the one after that

No love for acid rain?

Remarkably self aware

First the emus, then the orcas, and now the wild boars? What’s happening?

We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

lol

I find that my players take a lot of cues from the scenario. If there’s an obvious way for them to get involved, and a clear benefit to the character, they jump in. If not, they treat it as part of the world and continue about their business. But they are relatively passive, story-wise and expect a bit of railroading to tell them where to go.

It isn’t the first time they’ve screwed up the NESS.

When my players came up with an idea that derailed my plans for the current story arc and made it way more interesting. They all got into the idea (pretending to double cross the jerk they are being paid to protect) and forced me to ad lib a tonne of new stuff.

That’s the kind of thing that makes me love TTRPGs.

Alien: Acceptable Los[s]es

I would like to see this movie.

I did this for my Waterdeep: Dragonheist campaign. The paper was yellow journalism through and through: they misspelled PC names, misattributed actions, and obviously supported one of the factions. It was a lot of fun. I fully recommend it.

Finally, someone to blame!

how is this surreal it just makes sense
