Being unable to read a sign posted every 200metres and act accordingly is a moral failing.

You are right that there are better ways to “guide” selfish idiots into driving slower, and the set fine means that it stings people like me (thanks for the underhanded insult though!) ruins others and means nothing to some. That’s a much bigger societal problem.

Fun fact: once people get ticketed, by and large they slow down. Then once enough people on the route get a ticket, TRAFFIC slows down.

Source: I was there for Parkside. It was wild watching more and more people shift to a slow speed. You could literally tell who’d been ticketed for a few weeks in the middle. There was a short time where I’d call it “chaotic” because enough people were slowed down but a large enough percentage were still speeding and you basically had a road with 2 speed “limits”

Within a few months it had all settled and now people drive slower there. I got one ticket. I paid it.

Right so that’s everybody saved then! Certainly there isn’t anyone who can’t work a literal part time job, or " volunteer" for some giant multinational that has the authority to sign off on your Medicaid.

What a shit hole… And thats the positive spin…

But hunters are specifically trying to call them in to shoot them. This is more like catch and release fishing, you are just making the bird late for something…

“Elbows up” is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean “get ready to fight” (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It’s not elbows up. It’s daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. “Elbows off the table!”

Elbows off the table.

We are going back to pre-internet times. Like we will still have it, but finding the information we need will be impossible in the sea of AI misinformation.

When we were kids we would write down questions to ask teachers or the librarian or even my aunt who was a nurse. That’s how we got alot of our answers. I think we are going there again. I think there will be small alcoves of reality on the internet, but they will be hard to find and then treasured, again like bookmarking snopes.com way back when a Google (or Yahoo?) search wouldn’t necessarily find things unless you worded your question as an answer.

Perfect so I’m sure this settlement will affect absolutely nobody it should.

Sorry, maybe I’m mixing them up with some other nightmare of a company, aren’t they out of business? Execs probably already secured all their extra $$$$ and this 2.3 will have to come out of what they get selling the office chairs, and probably before any employees get anything they are entitled to.

Why is the thumbnail a baggie jeans butt with the body in a bush? What does this mean?

The home grown San Marzanos were left in a single layer on the kitchen table (because that’s how my aunt does it I don’t know but it’s pretty and whatever)

Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos!

Relationships like this are way too common in film. People hire their partner, brother, 3 kids and their kids partner, and they all roam the sets like a grade 5 gang. Our employment papers often have clear direction that we can’t have these relationships, but I’ve never known anyone to put a stop to it until complaints like these come out, then usually it’s fire everyone, and the ones who still have family in the industry find another job and the ones that don’t can get fucked.

As an occasional team lead in Film, with a partner who is a team lead in the same job, I refuse to bring him to work with my team, not because he isn’t good (he is great at his job, well liked and maybe a better fit for the position than me) but because even though we would both behave, the perception would be enough to sour relationships and create difficult working environments.

I wish our union would take a more active roll in these matters. I understand they aren’t their to police us, that’s what the companies are supposed to do, but it’s easier for the companies to ignore the problem, and having the union crack down on this would create a more professional pool of talent, while not alienating anyone who wasn’t born into or married into the industry.

Same. If I had to guess, this is a taxidermy mount and someone strapped it to the tree for the shot?

Today I almost stepped on a batch of tiny baby grouse chicks. They must have hatched like 2 days ago they were so small and as they fled in terror of my Godzilla body they were barely staying on their feet just tumbling away frantically as mom called and hissed at me.

It took everything I had not to take a step and snatch up one of the slower ones. Such good camo too once they stopped peeping and running/rolling I couldn’t see any of them. Had to tip toe out of there for fear I’d step on one.

Best day.

Another example of AI putting real humans out of work. Up until recently I used to to get paid good money to ride my bike in loops past survey cameras while wearing different hats. Now, my phone never rings and I’ve had to slowly sell off my collection to make rent. Even if I do get another job offer, I’m down to like 7 hats, most clients I deal with expect twice that many hats for the money they spend.

I have been worried about this for months. The moment of clarity for me came when I was looking up how to tan a hide fur off. I have done fur on and seen a dozen videos on it so I knew what I was looking at. Found this great looking site. Step by step. As I’m reading, something seems off. Maybe translation issues? The order here seems… Repeatative?

Then I look at the pictures.

First picture showed a hide being made into a drum. Ok, not exactly what I’m doing but yeah maybe similar process… Next picture is of a dudes abs, with a tan line… (Tanning the hide)

Next picture is a head table for a wedding… (Decorating)

It was surreal. And it is surreal. We are now returning to a time when we can’t access information easily. Not because it isn’t there, but because it’s crowded by misinformation and half information.

Thank you

I actually did a quick google to see if I could find the style of hat I was imaging. Something between a fedora and cowboy… A Newsies cap I suppose would also work.
