There'd be a few times it would be really inconvenient.

For example some concerts only allow tickets from the Ticketmaster app, not even a printed ticket. Though possibly showing the ticket on the laptop would work but then I'm not sure they'd let you bring a laptop into a concert.

Ah! That's my problem, I wasn't using a machine! Just doing it by hand. Maybe I'll pick one up.

I'm pretty excited for this album, I feel the two tracks we've gotten so far are really great and a bit different from the first album.

It's a l but of a luxury weight wise but my backpacking chair. It's relatively light for a chair but still heavy for portages but it makes the whole camp so much more comfortable.

Not the other poster but a Canadian too. It varies. To see my GP I can get an appointment within the week, usually same day, though most people here need to wait a couple weeks. Then there GP refers me to specialists, that's usually between 1-6 months wait.

Emergency yeah you are usually looking at 4 hours wait absolute minimum. Though you don't get charged for it at least. Though I guess it depends on severity, they will prioritize by how serious it is not by first arrival.

The other thing the other poster didn't mention is that medication is not covered so you have to pay full for that unless you have insurance. Also for some reason dental isn't covered at all without insurance (or I think recently for low income families but I'm not 100% sure if that's implemented yet or not)

Any list of companies? I would send in a resume. Especially if they are also fully remote.

I'm looking for an eReader that doesn't lock me into a particular ecosystem or format. Ideally I came just copy files over to it and have them work.

Other than that, small physical dimensions and a backlight would be great!

It's been years since I had one but in the market again and I'm not sure the current state of things. My old one was a Kobo and took files just fine.

At the moment I've got frigate running on an old dell server through proxmox, writing to drives on that server, but they are shared with a lot of other services.

I'd like to separate it and have a machine that is kinda just acting as a full NVR and writing to it's own drives.

Anybody have any suggestions for one? Are the mini PC's any good or I guess they wouldn't hold enough drives to have plenty of storage.

Any suggestions on an easy way to get started? I'm not sure all the equipment I need and which is just nice to have, for example.

Thoughts on if this would be good for Vaughan? To be honest I'm not completely clear on which services are currently provided by Vaughan and which by York Region.

Technically it was nonoperating before, but explicitly did not allow camping, and had really rough access, so this is nice. Though I was hoping the new park would have more canoe routes.

Seeing as I couldn't find a community for The Smile, I figured people here would be interested.

Personally I love it, and have since seeing it live. It's like the first 3/4 is "Bending" then the last is "Hectic".

Huh, what's it taste like? Tepache? Cider? I'm intrigued.

American Psycho made me so claustrophobic reading it I had to give up really quickly. Which means it was terribly effective, but not something I can make myself read.

[-] TiresomeOuting@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

I feel like there are multiple levels of terrifying to this book.

I can't get The Judge out of my head, he has a supernatural quality to him but in a horrible, intelligent way that makes him horrifying.

But then the other terrifying thing is just the depiction of the normal characters and what they go through and the actions they commit.

And then finally another level is the depiction of everything else they face. That scene where the boy first witnesses an attack by the Comanche is blood curdling and yet mesmerising within one sentence. For anybody looking for context, search for 'Blood Meridian Legion of horribles quote' for the whole sentence.

I'm not even sure why I think of Blood Meridian over The Road. Maybe now that I have child rereading the road would make it worse. But I feel that especially upon a few rereads Blood Meridian has some really dark things happening that aren't immediately apparent.

And I suppose part of my choice might be because I find The Judge to be both the most fascinating and horrifying character in anything I've read or seen.

This is funny, I immediately thought of Blood Meridian when I read the post title, then came in and saw another Cormac McCarthy book!

I'm running a hack I wrote that takes Warhammer Fantasy roleplay and Blades in the Dark and meshes them into... Something in between the two.

I also changed out the d6s for d20s so skills go from 0-16 to allow for more character growth.

It still needs some tweaking though, I'm not completely sold on the resistance mechanic.

I've done quite a few canoe camping trips, including two this year already, but I'm thinking I'll try my first solo trip once the bugs die down a bit. I'm curious if I'll be bored out of my mind alone or if I'll enjoy it.

I'm going to go against popular opinion here and say I wasn't very impressed with Taste of Naples. The guy was rude and the pizza expensive.

I prefer pizza break. But my favorite is the Fortinos pizza!

Looking for suggestions for a place with good takeout to have at a picnic! Bonus points if you can recommend a park or nature area nearby to have the picnic as well.

Anybody been to this area near Algonquin in Ontario? I can't seem to find a digital map of canoe routes other than the booking one.

Edit: Turns out Jeff's Map (of Algonquin) actually has the whole area included!
