  • A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It’s really worth the watch and I’d love to hear back from you if you do.

    If you’re a gamer there’s a Telltale game that follows this account’s namesake. Camina Drummer.

    The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it’s on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

    As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.







  • It’s all very short sighted and to be honest I can’t blame them for their brainwashing most of the time.

    They hear if places with 30, 40, 50% tax rates and are appalled but they don’t realize that the combined income of a nation can more than subsidise education, healthcare and so much more while still affording an amazing quality of life.

    They call Europeans poor because they don’t own 50 acres and a McMansion with 3 mud crawlers in the garage.

    My buddy’s wife just doesn’t understand how far out tax money goes and thinks our government is just as corrupt as hers.





  • You realise Britain survived both world wars because of Canada right?

    Canada exited that era with the second largest navy in the world.

    Canada fought hard enough in Korea that the Chinese feared Canadian soldiers.

    Canada was one of the first Nations to enter the war in the middle east with the US. Sending tens of thousands of soldiers from the years 2001-2016.

    Canada currently operates Leopard 2a6 MBTs, F16s, f35s and possesses what is largely considered one of the most defensible and inhospitable geographies. Has several shipping yards in northern territories that would be untouchable by ground offensives and a population of small town hicks that hate Americans.

    Canada has a standing army of 100k soldiers largely trained in small party tactics, ambushing and booby trapping.

    It won’t be pretty, I’ll tell you that. But you think Canadians or any other nation allied with Canada would stand for American aggression?

    EDIT: Meant to write F-18. Wrote F-16 instead. Point still stands. Canada has a small yet capable military when we need it.



  • Roughly 86% of those living in Quebec are Francophone. At a national level Quebec is a minority but still holds roughly a quarter of Canada’s population so that’s quite a large Minority group.

    What laws like this are doing in Quebec is a continuation of the French separatist movement that has latched on to anti-immigrant and anti-anglo sentiment. This law also coincides with several laws outlawing the wearing of religious garb like the Hijab or Turbans by religious minorities. (Read: non-christians.)

    Quebec and it’s current government are a driving force behind a new wave of Ethnic Nationalism. English speakers no longer have the right to send their children to English school, the English school system is being strangled and so much more.

    This is not about protecting language. It’s about erasing another.




  • how are you booting windows from systemd?

    I’m not. I ran some Systemd-analyze, blame etc once Fedora started up and saw that most of my startup lag was caused by a specific drive on boot.

    systemd is not part of the bootloader.

    Yes, and so I used the systemd tools to figure out what was causing my issues on boot.

    As I explained in a reply in this thread it seems my issue is mostly resolved for now. The bootloader was stalling on initializing a pair of drives I have in RAID for system backups on the M$ side.

    This is turn, when running -analyze or other tools showed the drive that contained my Win10 machine stalling out and waiting 45+ seconds to initialise. Because /it/ was actually waiting for the RAID drives to sort it the hell out. So, it looked like there was a conflict between both boot disks when in reality the stall was a symptom of Linux not playing nice with RAID.

    I wrongly assumed it was a boot disk conflict similar to some Windows dual boots where the two disks may be fighting with each other for boot priority and causing a fight until one timed out.



  • Nope!

    Root, Boot, /EFI, /home

    After writing this post I took the nuclear option and disconnected all drives in the PC save for the one hosting Fedora. Then I incrementally connected them all until failure.

    It wasn’t the Win10 drive but the RAID pair I have as a system backup causing the problem. I guess Fedora was trying to mount those disks causing the hold up. Then that made it look like it was the Win10 disk causing the holdup because it was waiting to initialise.

    With the RAID drives disconnected everyone is speaking the same language now.
