I swear, the low air quality makes my head swamped, the ADHD/anxiety worse, clogs up my ears and causes me to have a very sore throat consistently. Bah.

Ex-Blizzard Developers Bet It All on ‘Stormgate’ Redemption Story Frost Giant Studios set out to make a successor to StarCraft II, but the road has been difficult so far

Stormgate, a spiritual successor to StarCraft II from ex-Blizzard developers, had a rocky Early Access launch last year. Since then, the team has retooled the art and overhauled the campaign. Now they're hoping for a redemption story.

Cops in this country literally get a medal from the king just for making it 20 years (cadet training included) without any "serious disciplinary action."

Wayfair, every style, every home

🧵 Dear Republican lawmakers,

Canada has the largest intact boreal forest on the planet.

An increasingly hotter world due to #ClimateChange makes longer dry seasons, far larger wildfires & yes, more smoke. No amount of "raking" fixes it. The scientists warned of exactly this for a very long time /1

I was 'beepbeepimmajeep'.

Memories.

Oddly/Sadly or whatever, it does work, but you have to have _some_ level of knowledge in web or software development to be able to guide it.

I mean, Google has this thing called FireBase Studio where all you do is tell it what you want it to build, and it creates/prototypes it for you.

It's a new term, thats for sure. You act as the 'director' or 'product owner', and direct the AI to act like a junior developer and make the code changes/updates/features.

The world of software and web development is wildly changing every week it feels like. Add someone who is just getting to it, the amount of AI tools, vibe coding options, platforms, plugins is wildly overwhelming sometimes.

I try to just keep going with what I'm using and what I know, but yeesh.

I can see my tower from my backyard haha. And you're right, we're going to see a lot more of these!

Scene from The Simpsons episode "Marge Be Not Proud" with Troy McClure. Text quote on image reads "You night remember me from such public service videos as designated drivers -- the life-saving nerds and phony tornado alarms reduce readiness."

Have received 7 tornado warnings on my phone. Not in the coverage area for any of the active tornado warnings. #mbstorm

They should revise the description about "mobile area". It would be so much more helpful. Mobile area to me means the tower I'm connected to. 🫠

Yea I'm at 4 now. This system needs to be looked at.

Not sure if this is actually for Winnipeg? Last time it was far south of the city....

Just got it twice in St James.

Finally re-launched @scootr.ca - and I'm really proud how things are coming together. It feels like my own hub, finally, weaving together all the random bits I do.

Still some bugs to iron out here and there, but it's in fantastic shape. Check it out and let me know what you think!

In Facebook posts, promotional videos, news articles and music, this is the online esthetic of the Alberta Independence (AI) movement.

Exactly my first thought too 😂

Red Lobster Dewgarita (2020-2022): A cocktail made with sour apple liquor, tequila, and classic Mtn Dew, served in a glass with a dusting of red sugar crystals on the rim, and a slice of lime. It cost $10, and came with a side of Red Lobster's warm cheddar bay biscuits

I was just doing this - cleaning the main floor, and was just sweating buckets. Ugh.

still thinking about the Montana knife maker who said you don't have to worry about tariffs if you buy american. and then three months later, he realized he imports swedish steel and german equipment. and even MiUSA equipment costs $100k more now because of tariffs

Incredibly dangerous authoritarianism here.
