  • I will try to take a few pictures of it when I have a chance. We haven't opened it for years, because the book is is pretty bad shape. The binding (which is not original binding as far as I can tell) is about to fall apart. It's currently on the bookshelf squeezed between a few book to prevent it from crumbling.

    We were even planning at one point to digitalize it and donate it to a library (or some organization that can restore and preserve old book). But the family debate about it when this conversation come up because it's something that has been passed down for generations already.

  • I have a manuscript in Latin that was passed down in the family. The content seems to be some religious stuff when a family friend who understands Latin took a look at it. No one in the family actually bothered to understand what's written in it.

    Maybe I will bring it to someone who could translate it when I have time on the future.

  • Wouldn't this also collapse our economy and international credit rating?

  • It is a chicken and egg problem.

    The real root cause as you said is very likely down to individual's media literacy and critical thinking skills. But the solution to educate everyone from ground up would be very costly and less efficient.

    From an efficiency perspective, the government have to figure out ways to stop misinformation from spreading in short term. And hopefully, next few generation will have better critical thinking and analytic skills to online information.

    I don't know how they would draw the line between misinformation and first amendment. But hopefully, a competent government will see this as a problem and find solutions to it.

  • Thank you for writing this out so clearly.

    People's attention span has been decreasing since the introduction of social media, smart phones, and ease of access of information.

    Imo the government should hold entertainers and public figures accountable for spreading misinformation. But this is hard to enforce and the root cause is people's attention span.

  • Like the other commenter said. If you purchased it in the last two week and have less than 2 hours playtime, they will give you the difference no question asked.

  • I hope they could re release a PC version as well. Current GTA IV PC version is laughable on modern hardware. The optimization mod works ok most of the time. But sometime it stutters like crazy and I need a hard PC reboot to fix it.

  • Thanks, mbin doesn't support inline spoiler apparently

    • Witcher 3 opening scene in Kaer Morhen.
    • Dark Souls 3 Irithyll of the Boreal Valley and
  • Hades. I am trying to get all the achievements. Probably going to take me a while.

  • You can try refurb NUC or mini PC on Amazon with N100 that you can find easily between $150-$200 range.

  • While I agree their firearm ban is totally rushed and makes zero sense at all. I still don't think they would've gotten a lot more seats/votes if they hadn't passed this law.

    If they is such a big deal for the general population, Carney's platform could've try to either rewrite it or cancel it altogether like Capital Gain Tax.

    Though I really wish Carney's platform could address questionable decision by the previous catastrophic PM like Bill C-21, C-18, and C-75 among many others.

  • Right, F1 has been rather forgettable. Honestly, their non rally titles are all mediocre at best.

  • This is a sad day for racing fans. Codemaster's games were the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. I wish MS/Turn 10/Playground could somehow acquire them.

  • Why is this in self hosted?

  • I have tried and their documentation is too complex and incomplete for self hosting. Right now, for communication, I have mumble for VoIP and ngircd as an irc server.

    It pretty much covers 80% of discord use case. I am looking for something that support video chat/screen sharing. Synapse is honestly not bad at all. But it's too power hungry for my liking. I wish Jitsi could have better ux for average consumer. It feels too business like.

  • Mumble and Wireguard

    Some of my friends are heading back to mumble because discord is getting too bloated with useless features.

    Wireguard is to be able to access my local network when I am away.

  • I hope this is only for WRC licensed game and we still will get Dirt/Dirt Rally game.
