  • I live in a city where property values have increased by an order of magnitude over about 40 years.

    Yes, we have a lot of speculators and wealthy landowners who need to be taxed out of existence.

    But we also have a problem where seniors on fixed incomes who have owned their homes for 30 - 50 years cannot afford their property taxes because the land their homes are sitting on has exploded in value.

  • I don't think so, but I do have very fond memories of playing a Trek game that I have not been able to identify despite quite a bit of searching.

    Part of the problem was that I think my dad would get the game to a certain stage for me and then hand over the computer so I could fly around space and shoot things, so my memories are only of a very specific little bit of the game.

    This would have been early to mid 90s, on a dual-boot machine, but I think I remember launching it in Linux?

    If anybody has the faintest recollection of a 90s (or earlier) Trek game where you could fire phasers or photon torpedoes, and the photon torpedoes looked kind of like a pair of twinkling yellow stars, I would at least feel a little less crazy.

  • As a selfish daughter, I think this is hilarious tbh.

    But I also have a mother who understands and fully supports my and my partner's reproductive choices and I probably would not feel that way if circumstances were different.

  • This is going to keep happening as long as governments keep outsourcing new "affordable" housing projects to developers.

    It makes far more sense to me to administer the projects publicly and source materials and trades directly instead of through the obnoxious matryoshka middleman system that is public-private partnership.

    Also we badly need to fucking build non-market housing.

    And here is a podcast by and about drug users where people speak about their experiences with the system in BC and elsewhere as is has been, is, and is becoming: https://www.crackdownpod.com/ Includes interviews with researchers and doctors.

    I have found it extremely worthwhile and necessary listening, but it is heartwrenching.

    Nothing about them without them.

  • Happy to share them! Sorry about the busted formatting.

    One thing I didn't specify, I usually injected the curd into the cupcakes as a filling before icing them.

    Also, the curd and buttercream are both freezable! The buttercream will split when it thaws, but it's easily fixed by beating the shit out of it with a mixer (I just run it on medium until the texture returns to normal, paddle or whisk will work).
