Touche. It "only" cost me ~$1500 CAD, which is a hefty chunk for me right now. And I don't think I'll get that back from my employer's benefit plan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh-My-God_particle

Lucky you, I didn't get any sedation at all for my cataract surgery, just a metric crapton of eye drops. While it didn't hurt, the discomfort of staring at a bright light for what felt like an hour (probably 5 minutes) was acute. That's Canada's publicly funded health system for you. If I had known to ask for sedation, it probably would have been out-of-pocket, like the premium lens.

As to the whole debate of having "Metallic Hydrogen" in KSP2 causing people to think metastable MetH is a real thing, that could be countered by simply having a disclaimer in the KSPedia page for MetH. stating something along the lines of "Recent experiments have shown that pure MetH is not metastable, but some hope remains that metastability may be found by doping or alloying." Sure, one can argue that not everyone will read that particular slide of the KSPedia, but at least the disclaimer will be there.

You’d think the weak point for his safety would be making himself the payload. Although I suppose kudos (Or at least a Darwin Award) are in order for willing to risk his life to try and prove a point

Oh, so they’re going to designate those tent hospitals as debris zones? If all the staff suddenly leaves, it’s time to worry...

Hopefully some safety officials are seeing that

Start blowing up or otherwise destroying everything that I was sure I wasn’t ever going to want or need Much like “Trashcan Man” in The Stand

Not sure where to put this, unless there's a "crazy and/or inept crook" thread.... https://globalnews.ca/news/6578962/vancouver-police-investigating-attempted-seaplane-theft-that-left-several-aircraft-damaged/ Two floatplanes got wings destroyed in the process....

Well, to be fair, the objections are usually about indefinite storage of location information. Some states have enacted statutes limiting how long some information can be stored before requiring it to be purged, although three years seems a little long to me. But Teslas already have plenty of cameras' police would just need to hook the camera feeds to the LPR software

Automatic license plate readers have been a thing for years now, much to the disgust of ACLU-types https://www.policeone.com/police-products/traffic-enforcement/license-plate-readers/

Hope that wasn't a spoiler for you then. But you had ten years to catch up...

Just jump in, eject your cargo, and jump out again....

https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-x-cybertruck-police-cruiser-canada/ Not sure why the more expensive Model X was even considered, aside from the gull falcon-wing doors making prisoner passenger access easier. But yeah, Cybertruck (and Cyberquads) would be ideal for the vast rural areas of northern Canada, although winter could get interesting without battery warmers. Some strategically-placed solar battery-charging stations would help (by which I mean, a battery farm charged up by solar panel farms, for rapid charging of vehicles as needed).

Reminds of when my brother was in neuro ICU recovering after suffering a brain injury in a car accident. When my dad pointed out the nurse was pregnant, my bro shook his head and said "Not mine!!!"

About time someone seriously thought about taking a closer look at the Martian moons... https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/02/ambitious-japanese-mission-to-phobos-moves-into-development-phase/

Ok, got it working. wish I could run it on my TV though instead of off my laptop onto the TV. Hopefully it wont bog my games down much while I watch

Scorch it! Not available in Canada due to rights restrictions, either through the PBS link or Amazon Prime. And I don't like VPN's....

Lol. No sedation at all, just some Ativan for nervousness. 5 minutes of torture later, you can call me “Patchy” More seriously...
