    Video Game News and Miscellany

    Probably not your thing based on your list, but a SOLID jRPG that came out recently is "I am Setsuna". Definitely a Chrono Trigger-like vibe coming from it when you play. And it's just fun too.

    I just about mentioned it in my last post. Didn't though because I didn't know it was such an international thing!

    Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

    What I find even MORE annoying than the "painted concrete" are the games where grass like that is only out to a certain distance, so you have a "bubble" of good-looking grass near your character, but further out it's nothing. So it's a type of "personal rainstorm only over you" but with grass...

    In addition, what other taxes (sales taxes, etc) are you paying? And that's only personal, so as I asked above what other tax sources (import/export taxes, etc) does the government have, and what percentage of the pie are those?

    Canadian Newspaper, but obviously picked up from some american source, as it's all with USA numbers: Who pays what in taxes? Good article about taxation. Not great, not perfect, but good. In particular I'd like to see what the breakdown of taxes that are not income taxes, and how those come...

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

    You know that in the 3 biggest housing markets (bubbles) in the country (Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary) you can't get a shack for $350,000 right? Meanwhile, in Halifax, we have a wonderful house on a fair amount of land for in that range. I assume Winnipeg is similar Adam? Also, I'm looking...

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

    Can somebody decode this article for me please? Canada's banking watchdog sets tougher rules for mortgage lending I THINK what this is saying is whatever your actual rate, you need to have the income to qualify for a higher rate as well. Or am I mis-reading this?

    [News] Oh shit! The Fuzz are on Hoverbikes!

    Just keep in mind how HIGH you'd need to be to have the time to open a parachute: http://keisan.casio.com/exec/system/1231475371 You can calculate how much time before you hit the ground. For 140 feet (14 story building) it's only 3 seconds. Good luck REALIZING you're in trouble, bail out...

    Putting this here because I doubt the laws are very different in the USA, and thus not Canada-specific: She spent $124K to get her home back: Legislation leaves Alberta common-law couples without recourse I may be in the minority here, but if you're dumb enough to not get your name on any of...

    Tech minor victory thread

    I would think that something like that wouldn't be in a "Tech" thread, but fair enough. I didn't mean to inquire about a medical issue Patrick.

    Hint: it was never aimed at the rich in the first place. The target/apple may have been there, but who's to say they were ever aiming at it?

    I thought this was pretty funny and accurate: Canadian politics for once. But just a picture, so here, not the other thread.

    Former President and Convicted Felon Trump Thread

    What, like DACA you mean? Not like this is the first time, nor will it be the last. That your Supreme Court hasn't thrashed almost everything that such an order can do already is amazing to me.

    Depends on which figure here is more accurate: https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone/yellowstone_sub_page_91.html I tend to believe the 2nd for at least a BIT (even if only a dusting) of coverage, since very thin would wash away quickly, and as they say in the article, would not be...

    There's also the recent fear-mongering regarding Yellowstone: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/10/science/yellowstone-volcano-eruption.html Basically some new research "claims" that signs point to an eruption in a matter of decades. Which would be catastrophic for the world. Oh and most of...
