I get this, I clear my cookies, it goes away for awhile. I wonder if I can just find the specific cookie and remove it frequently this whould just stop.
Thank you for letting us know. I can react badly to loud noises. One if of these went off for an amber alert at 2am and I wasn’t able to sleep right for days later. This noise in particular just freaks me the hec out.
Oh dang. Suppose I won’t see one crawling around young st anytime soon but still growing up in a tiny farm town in southern ON I only, very rarely, saw a gardener. I assumed that’s we had.
I keep seeing it on my random feed suggestions and this is using NewPipe, so it has nothing to do with my actual YouTube activity (I think. Nothing there is stuff I’m interested in, with very few exceptions). So I’ve ignored it first, then I watched like two and was super confused. Wtf. These videos have millions of views...
If you’re not into vinesauce he’s an older variety streamer from the pre twitch days. Lot of his stuff is finding obscure and terrible games. Halflife amd its mods being a favorite of his.
This video is him explaining what it is, from an outsiders perspective. He goes through a some of the garbage explotive stuff that’s comming from it but also has his friend AgentRedJackel interview some fans of it via vrChat.
I found it was a good summary of everything you need to know without actually getting into it.
I saw a video on this recently. I think it was Wendover.
Though card counting is still possible many casinos have made it very difficult. Most methods require the counter knowing what is left in the deck.
Two methods are just using 3-5 decks and reshuffling the deck after eatch hand. This apprently stops all but the most insanely talented card counters. Some go further using a machine to shuffle the deck in a way players can’t see.
Though it also mentions some players think this cheating for the house so it might not be done at every casino
This means no sales, no themed merchandise, no decorations. December 25 and most other day are treated just like any other day for all stores malls, restaurants, ect....
I mean that’s possible but whould they even need to? If one company had a “Christmas sale” and other had a “boxing week blowout” will folks even care, or will they just go to what place has the better deals?
Also the complete lack of context to why I’d ask the question. I could be a writer, this could be some nefarious data scheme, or im just dumb and curious. Doesn’t really matter.
Really I’d just been watching somthing like Defunctland and hearing about cool ideas that failed because they where not profitable enough.
I wondered what if that happened to religion. What might that look like. How many people whould it take to stop giving a crap about Christmas for companies to just be like “yhea lets just not do that anymore”. And without Christmas would the rate of those engaged in Christianity just fall slowly? Whould that be all it takes?
Probably not. But figured I’ll get some alternative perspective.
It pretty subjective I don’t know much about Thanksgiving as a Canadian we have we have a differnt one then the US. I never understood what ours was even about other then turkey. So if it’s religious then I honestly had no clue.
As many others have pointed out. If we strip all meaning of these events and just make the entirely commercial then it doesn’t much matter if they where intended as religious events or not.
With that in mind I wonder if separating the events from capitalism might actually empower them…
I’d call that the shock period. But imagine that would be temporary and less bad then we think.
Eventually I’d hope for less stores that only open for the holiday season and only hire for the rush. Things could just spread out more and we’d all be less dependent in revenue created from one event. We could focus our buying power on useful things and less cheap plastic crap bought to appease old rituals.
All very optimistic and unrealistic thoughts though
I wouldn’t be shocked at protest over Walmart not selling 20foot glitter crusted crucifixes or whatever. But I think most know the difference between defiance of religious values and non-compliance. I’m for up north though so there’s a little less zeal.
Also shooting up a Walmart probably ain’t the best move. Folks there are likley armed to the teeth and itching to shoot back.
We can have these without the commercialism can’t we? Homemade decorations and costumes have more value and the act of making them with your family provides the time to talk about what these traditions are about.
I watch some of his stuff but I wouldn’t blame anyone for choosing not to. The guys presentation of the research is just annoyingly pretentious and he seems to have a bit of an ego.
I get it his shtick is that he’s a hipster journalist referring to your audiance as “guys”. Its just not working for me.
I think surface level info is fine for an explainer video. That’s kind if the point. He could do a little more to push people towards more detailed sources of info but he’s not worse then most other explainer and he seems to be sourcing things decently.
The country's medical schools turn away more than 1,000 Canadian doctors trained abroad annually, even though the country is facing a physician shortage. But they still manage to find residency spots for foreign nationals who are much less likely to stay and help chip away at the physician deficit.
Sorry if I missed this in the article. But what is the reason we can’t just expand the number of residents? It seems like the issue isn’t foreign intrest taking the slot, but that there isn’t enough slots to meet demand. Wich seems like a thing we should be able to fix.
Ah that makes sense. I was just reading about that same kind of issue affecting commercial pilots. Both jobs have extreamly high training/education cost then leave students in low paying jobs for a long stretch of their early careers. Both jobs also have foreign countries paying way better then what we are offering. (The documentary was about the US but I assume we are not better off)
I’d like to request to be made a moderator of the !virtualreality community. The mod, @Semi, hasn’t had any activity in the last 3 months. I tried contacting them, and haven’t received a response.
Not sure this actually works. I made a simular request a few weeks back for another abandoned community but didn’t hear back from any mods. Best of luck though.
I’ll give it a bit longer if they havnt gotten this one yet either I’d just be spamming them. I’m sure that, if this is the right way to get this done, they will eventually get around to it.

I passed on this game a because it looked like a generic city builder. But having finally played it it had some surprising mechanics.
building up. Your space is fairly limited and you’ll want the good land for growing food. So you need to build up. Buildings ontop of buildings and you’ll need to account for efficient pathing and scaffolding. I thought this was a really cool mechanic.
power, the power mechanic is also pretty interesting. Everything that needs power is either attached to a powered building or connected via a big spinning log. Power sources are water wheels and windmills neither of wich is consistent so you also need gravity batteries. These are cool because the higher up you make them the better they are which encourages you to use mountains and scaffolds to make huge structures.
I’m looking forward to seeing how this game continues to grow
