Supposedly there are a bunch of WWE and MMA fans. Maybe it's time for Patrick "Brass Knuckles" Brazeau and Justin "Papineau Pugilist" Trudeau to team up.

Well, hang on, #6... I mean, wait no, you're right, but...

The increases border security was announced back in December, but the "Border Tsar" was new.

I think at this stage, we could make a proclamation that "Governor" is an acceptable informal title for the Governor-General or something. This is already the stupidest trade war ever, and we already are suffering from the uncertainty. Buy us some time to further diversify.

Boycott is just as much (or more) because of the "jokes" about annexation. Tariffs despite the renegotiated NAFTA from just a few years ago is certainly concerning, but that will just add bite.

First Macron, then Starmer, and now Zelensky.

Listening to some of the Trump and Zelensky interaction. Trump and Vance are just shameless.

Sorry US-ians, wishing bad things for the US kind of. You guys have to get your house in order! A Presidential monarchy is not great. Even taking Trump and Vance at face value, the value of US agreements is purely at the whim of the current President. In under 4 years, it could all change. The are speaking only for themselves.

That's what I'm assuming the original diagram is showing, the "Observable Universe" in some sort of radically increasing scale.

I've got a copypasta for recommending Mastodon to Canadians looking to get more reliable news. I include some suggested starting follows for Canadian news sources and information. I'd love to add some official government Mastodon accounts to that list.

In fact, any other suggestions, I can try and improve it. I want to keep it pretty streamlined, Federated services are already kind of complicated and impose a bit of a learning curve. I focused on just Canadian hosted general interest Mastodon instances, with a good list of Canadian news sources. I leave the discover of Lemmy.ca and Pixelfed.ca for later exploration.

Here it is:


Consider making an account on a Canadian Mastodon instance, Mstdn.ca, TheCanadian.Social, CoSocial.ca or SocialBC.ca.

There's not so much of an algorithm to entertain you, so you'll need to do some work following, but check out Fedi.Directory, Interesting Accounts to Follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse and Fedi.Tips- An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse. It's not all-or-nothing though. I would suggest setting up an account on a Canadian instance, supporting that Canadian instance, and then installing one of the many mobile apps for the Fediverse.

For some Canadian themed news sources, I recommend the following Mastodon follows:

Following #Hashtags is also a good way to stay in the loop on a topic. For now, I'd suggest #Canada and #CdnPoli .

There are also Canadian instances for other Federated services, but Mastodon is probably a good gateway.

The baddest Heeb this side of Tel Aviv.

He's gained valuable experience, he's an integral member of Trump's inner circle.

Not even getting good value in trade. Just get dinner at Mar A Lago, and use the bathroom in back of the jacuzzi or whatever.

I play it from the rocking chair, while my (admittedly obsolete) desktop mostly gathers dust in the basement. I bring it with me on errands and appointments.

It's just so handy! I already use Linux as my daily driver OS, but Proton has made compatibility so versatile.

Finally, it's powerful enough. Sure, on an external monitor when docked you might notice on some games,but the whole SD is cheaper than a decent graphics card.

 

Peter Navarro wants to increase pressure on country that Donald Trump has threatened to annex

 

The Cursed Expedition was one of my favourite expeditions, so of course I'm redoing it.

The constant drain of the Anomaly Suppressor and the harassment of the Boundary Horrors lends an incessant pressure. That first dash to the ship with an underpowered Boltgun and no Elixirs at hand is reminiscent of a Permadeath start.

I think the slightly reduced targets of the Redux version make it a little less grindy.

And of course, the trash talk…

Artemis is gone? Run it in! She's just in another level of the simulation, you bastards!

That's uncalled for! You leave them out of this!

Some sweet vengeance

 

A bit odd perhaps, at least Ii haven't run into this.

Planets in uncharted systems have no structures. However if you use a portal to travel to a planet in an uncharted system, a Portal will generate. I spent a good deal of time trying to portal to this world, and some other worlds in the same system. I've double-checked the glyphs several times. In all cases I get the address error, approximating. I'll end up in a different system around the same distance from the core every time.

I swear I've done this to generate a portal on uncharted worlds before. Did I not have enough coffee today? Has this been "patched"? As it is I portalled to a bunch of other systems anyways, so got a functional portal base for this galaxy. On to the next.

Glyphs 3207-FA00-6FFA

 

Not as big as some of the others I've found, but I'm pretty sure these are the tallest Moving Castles/Towers I've seen in Euclid (Galaxy 00, the first galaxy).

If you can get to a Euclid portal, you have a couple of choices for walkers to help you explore.

Glyphs: 21FD-030C-790D

 

Doing the Galaxy tour, and got distracted (again) passing through #34 (hex 21) Ehbogdenbu. Saw a prime candidate for synthetic creatures and discovered the biggest walking tower I've encountered in the wild! 6.8m tall. It's a bit out of the way I suppose, but they are a wonder to behold.

The planet has aggressive sentinels, so I built a base. It should simplify pacifying the local sentinels.

The darker walker isn't native to the planet, that's the mysterious pet I picked up somewhere, but it is pretty much the same height.

Hex address 107E-0700-7007.

Currently named "Bastion Walker 6.8" but open to suggestions.

Traveller for scale

I picked up this tall boi just before the Adrift Redux expedition, and I was going to remember where I picked him up but… I didn't. Flipped back through my discoveries, no sign. It's the tallest of these big synthetic creatures I've discovered. I'm certain it's the tallest creature I've discovered, but it's not in my wonders either (which make me curious to backtrack to find the tallest that is in my wonders).

I wish you could export your discoveries to a CSV file, or something that let you search through and sort more effectively, but is there any easy way to figure out where a pets origin world was?

 

Doing the Adrift Expedition Redux (even though I've already done Adrift, I just like doing Expedition), and ran into this at Rendezvous 4, a derelict freighter pretty much crashing into the planet. It apparently tilts gravity, and severely hampers your jump jets. TIL I guess.

I also did the freighter task for free, saving the scanner, so thank to whoever parked a derelict freighter right on top of the rendezvous. Saw lots of other people going into the freighter at the same time, so I think it helped out.

If you’re on the Cursed Expedition, this crashed ship might be a nice upgrade from the C-class starter ship. It’s a crashed ship, so lots of repairs to get it into shape, but even partial cheap repairs early in the expedition gave it more cargo and better performance than the starter.

Found on the first rendezvous world, Ecorsfi in the Temarifi X system.

Coordinates: +39.79, -167.59 Planet Glyphs (for later retrieval): 5047.FCA7.8448

Crashed, so a bit beat up

No eShop? No problem! We've had a bit of luck with used games not at "collectable" prices, but we've discovered hShop and CFW.

Still have a R4 card as well, and it's great that he is able to experience some classic games on the original hardware.

With all the news around Yuzu (and Citra) recently, it just reminds me about the importance of "Piracy" in game preservation.

Thanks to this community for existing, and the extensive FAQs!

When I first found it, it did also give an entered building message, but I haven't managed to test it in a storm. I'm currently distracted in my Permadeath run looking for more of these ... structures?
