    law school. But honestly, it's such a firehose of information that I can't say I'm surprised that you wouldn't want to miss anything. One of my friendly co-students had to miss one class because of tariffs work he does, and he dropped the course because he didn't think he could catch up.

    I lose 5% per class I miss, and then if I miss 3 I fail. I'll be going to class thank you very much - I need every % possible!

    I certainly feel that and I've been a Civilization addict since Civ 2. Part of the 'problem' seems to be just the glut of graphic information that you're given, not just in the UI but in the general game. I've only spent a couple hours in it so far and it's a beautiful game for sure but I do get...

    Well, at least diseases don't grow exponentially in scale, right? It can't possibly keep doubling.

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

    Talk to your HR department about increasing your tax deductions. Generally speaking, it should be rare that you have to pay back that much on just straight income. Also make sure you're putting money into RRSPs and find any and all sort of other deductions (including work from home). I always...

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 5 - To Kang or Not to Kang

    BNW positives and negatives: Anyone over the age of 60 rode this movie hard. Carl Lumby deserves a lot of mention for his work and Harrison Ford, finger and all, are in fighting form. Action scenes are inventive enough. The hand to hand combat suffers from trying to Out-Winter Soldier Winter...

    My wife is concerned that it doesn't get hot enough in the summer...My ideal temperature is 24C but it looks like Nanaimo usually only hits 22 or so.

    After a month of sub -30 temperatures, I applied for a new job on Vancouver Island. Likely won't get it but it's also fun to work on my resume and maybe at least get more experience in the interview process.

    Video Game News and Miscellany

    I am very concerned about the reviews for Civ7. Civilization is my jam and this is the first time I'm seeing scores in the 70s versus the 90s the game usually is known for. UI problems, some broken mechanics - I can wait for fixes, but if the core of the game is somewhat off, that's a tough start.

    Well, Trump as the great uniter was certainly not something I had on my Bingo card. Particularly uniting Canadians, but there we are.

    I am a big fan of Nebraska. I love driving down there, and the people are generally okayish. Kansas...Meh.

    [Movies] MCU: Phase 5 - To Kang or Not to Kang

    I'm not sure if this is an unserious question but as seen in the previous Daredevil movie with Ben Affleck, he likely has some kind of braille typing on each helmet and clothing item to help him coordinate. Similar to how regular blind people can coordinate outfits.

    Project Zomboid on Wasteland RP server Been diving deep into Zombie RPGs lately. HumanitZ scratched the itch for a while but it wasn't very deep.
