Do you guys remember driving down the highway in the 90's and having your car absolutely covered in the mangled corpses of insects? To the point where wiper fluid is called bug wash?

I don't know if this is the same everywhere, but my car stays pretty clean these days.

This is huge. It seems criminal for banks to charge you up to $50 when you may not even have that in your account.

34% of Canadians getting slapped with one of these fees in 2023 is bonkers. That's like $50 million in fees taken from the people who are least able to afford it.

One thing I appreciate about Canadian elections is how quickly they happen. An election is called, campaigning is like a month or two and then we find out the new government just hours after casting our votes.

All I ask is an e-bike and a path to ride her by.

Don't sleep on this one. This game is a profound masterpiece and I recommend everybody play this without any story spoilers.

For those that aren't familiar and want to know more, Outer Wilds is a first person space-based mystery and exploration game. You are given free rein to take your space ship to any planet in the solar system. There are no combat encounters and no objective markers. Your immediate goal is set by you and your own curiosity. Depending on your pace you can expect to spend about 20 hours to finish the base game, and then another 10-15 for the DLC.

In pepto bismol commercials, you will see the liquid quickly cover the entire surface of the stomach lining when ingested. The joke is that there may not be an outer limit to how far the liquid expands to, and so will exit through your mouth and engulf you, followed by the entire planet.

Pulling a game from the steam store does not stop people from downloading it if already in their library.

I have to imagine a comment like this does absolutely nothing to their sales figures. People who were going to download a cracked version of their games anyway remain unaffected now that they have a blessing, and I doubt people who weren't going to pirate would now feel more inclined to do so.

This seems like good PR and frankly it should probably be the default position for games studios.
