  • I have very little confidence I’ll get a retirement. Even though I’m contributing to the Canada Pension Plan, I’m so far away that by the time I get there I have serious doubts the program will still exist. There is obviously calculations they make to determine the health of the fund, but I don’t think they are properly taking into account how much extra strain extended life expectancies will take on the program. If they plan for people to be on retirement for an average of 15 years, and suddenly that changes to 20 or 25 years, that fund will dry up quick. Combine that with the influx of boomer retirees and to me it doesn’t look so good.


  • Heck yeah, I remember building out and optimizing my PC to squeeze every frame I could out of Arma 3 back when it released. I have such fond memories of that game, I played tons of casual multiplayer games and Arma 3 Project Life which was a really well done invite only life roleplay game mode (before the developers killed the community by being dicks).













  • Yeah, there are a few options for cable covers but none that I think would be great here. Expando loom will stop cable abrasions, but probably not cat teeth. There’s split loom, but that is quite rigid and I think cats could bite through it still with enough will power. There are metal cable sleeves, but these usually aren’t for physical protection and are braided in the same way that makes expando loom a not great solution. I would try what someone else mentioned first and try coating the cable in a bitterant.



  • Grotuesquely enough one tabloid called the suspects father and started asking “why he did it”. He hadn’t even heard of the crime on the news yet.

    Jesus christ, imagine finding out your son is the perpetuator of a horrific shooting and is dead from a tabloid reporter. I have way more sympathy for the families of the actual victims but it’s still awful for the father.
