Stole. They stole that money from everyone you know.

Hey, we're not THAT British. We just like to sprinkle some 'u's into our words to make them more colourful. A boot goes on your foot and it is also how you pronounce about.

My first fps with 3 degrees of freedom was Descent. So having the up and down be like a flight simulator just worked for me.

Doom and Castle Wolfenstein didn't have any use for y-axis aiming.

I always change Sprint to Spacebar and Jump to Shift. Also I usually have to change the invert Y-Axis setting.

You gotta use 'Deep escape' against an osprey.

I saw the thumbnail and thought "Oh no, I can't handle this!"

 
 

Visa and Mastercard are American companies, and they essentially tax everybody by taking a percentage of purchase prices for themselves. Not exactly a small percentage either, 1.2% to 2.65%. Ever wonder why so many merchants say they don't accept American Express? That's because they charge quite a bit more to merchantes, 50% more than Visa or Mastercard. Anyway, we're letting American companies tax us and we love them because we get rewards when we use cards. But it's just a shell game because we pay more up front because businesses need to charge more to make up for payment processing charges. They get to sit in the middle and rake in the money.

Now the alternative in Canada is Interac. Interac charges a set amount per transcation. How much? 2 to 5.5 cents. Unless you're going through Apple or Google Pay, and then it's a percentage again.

Interac is also Canadian.

Want to stick it to Trump? Stop using credit cards (and Google Pay or Apple Pay) and switch to Interac. Want to make Canada better? Stop using credit cards and switch to Interac. Is it going to be inconvenient? Yes. Online shopping will be much harder but I have seen online Interac payments before and we can ask our favourite Canadian merchants to accept Interac online.

 

This has been the best peanut butter I've ever had, but it's a product of the USA. I just love the taste the dark roast adds. I've never seen any other brands that do the same thing. Any suggestions out there?

Working at the office today and from all angles cars are reflecting sunlight into my eyes. Just realized that bicycle parking wouldn't be causing this slight inconvenience to me. Fuck cars.

 

Discovered that one of my lights was getting dimmer because halogen bulbs were burning out. This is a new house and I thought it was already an LED fixture. Got 3 new LED bulbs to make that area nice and bright.

Also discovered the house has metal studs when I went to mount the TV. bought some metal anchors. Never worked with metal studs before. Hope it turns out.

 
 

Its been a pretty fun start to the season. Just really don't want the streak to end to the Leafs, but I'm kinda expecting it.
