    "Intro to IT" class

    Agreed. Choose a non-controversial author (that's occasionally hard, but just google before you finalize) that you like and do a site about their works. Seems fairly straightforward.

    [Rant] Minor Rant III: For a Few Hollers More

    I think that @Dirona and I are lucky that our cats haven't yet figured out the "piss all over them" thing when they're angry. Hiss, scratch, and bite? Oh ya. Alia's got that one down, but not spraying everywhere (yet).

    I'll bet you do shocked better than anybody else. People didn't really understand shocked until you did shocked. (I'm mocking Trump, not Pez)

    The Super Dooper Canadian Thread (now with 47% more Canadian Bacon)

    Newfoundland is its own thing, but it got me to thinking: which provinces and territories might have FEWER than Newfoundland? Does PEI have any? Their population is really small, so does Charlottetown have any? How about the territories? And NS isn't going to have a LOT of them either. Yes...

    TIL: Today I Learned

    Clancy Brown is also the Captain of the Guard in The Shawshank Redemption. Also interestingly a GOOD (aligned I mean) prison guard in The Hurricane.

    They don't. They're the government-funded mouthpiece of the Loony-left in Canada. They will emphasize anything that MAY see the right in a bad light, and completely conceal (until they can't) anything that makes the left look bad. They're also infamous for how TERRIBLE their television is...

    Crossing the border NOT at a legal crossing is also a crime, but many seem OK with tens of thousands doing that. Hint: if they had a GOOD refugee case, they'd be crossing at a real border crossing, and/or flying right in (those going into Quebec recently are mostly people who had the money for...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Considering the Liberals in Canada want to go the other way entirely, we have concerns here too. Summary of the linked article: for years now in Canada you have required government ID to vote. It's been non-controversial for years. Legislation has been introduced (which is virtually...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Sounds like you're advocating rebellion. And for that, you may need guns. Lots of guns. That's the ultimate check on governmental power. And it's costly to even attempt it, (and it usually fails the first time too). Basically, how far are you willing to go? I don't ask this in jest, I am...

    Tech minor victory thread

    A victory for simplicity for all: Wi-Fi now has version numbers, and Wi-Fi 6 comes out next year (Summary shamelessly stolen from Slashdot) To me: f'n finally. And I like how the article mentions that devices may display that too, which is nice.

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    Since when is even MOST of what you say to other people what you actually think? Shouldn't what you say be mostly OUTSIDE of what you think? Hell, internet "anonymity" has IMO done an amazing amount for expressing what people actually think. And we've found out we're all terrible.

    I added in a column for No Man's Sky. I'm apparently wordier than GB. Meh. Spreadsheet Link

    Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

    Ah, how I would say it would be "I'm getting training to act as (or be an) interpreter." In contrast, when you said "I've forgotten how to do interpretation" you really confused me as to me "interpretation" can mean a number of things, usually meaning that whatever document you were given could...

    I hope you have a good dentist. It makes a WORLD of difference. I had a root canal years ago and it was 100% fine because my dentist was awesome. I miss Dr. Roots. My current dentist is fine, but not as exceptionally great. Yes I had a root canal from a dentist named Dr. Roots. Feel free...

    I'd give you a hugs rating, but I definitely don't want what you have. Sorry. "Air hugs" for you.

    What are you playing?

    Unless they removed it, there IS a single-player campaign in Space Engineers. At least a year or so ago there was. Very objective-based and such. More like a mod you played to completion, rather than an integrated part of the game, but still, at least 3 or 4 chapters worth. Definitely...

    In this context, what is interpretation? This seems like a specific term here.

    The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

    Is there a decent library near you? Could be an option. I know that's what my parents did for me. When I was going through a book a week (or faster) at a certain point in my youth, I'm sure it saved them hundreds of dollars.
