A “made for TV” series about everything that’s going down these days. How long until it drops? Is it a comedy? Straight drama? Or fan favorite, dramedy? Who plays who?
I know it’s considered uncool around here to even think it, but what would an AI come up with for a script?
Speaking of which, has anybody thought to ask any of these AIs what their prediction is for how it’s all gonna play out? Anybody know what they’re saying?

In BC, Abbotsford and other border areas are under flood evacuation orders, especially from the Nooksack River. The Tyee recently reported on the lack of an agreement on flooding of the Nooksack, which is a perennial problem that the US government has ignored.
British Columbia and Washington need to work on a Cascadia-focused agreement on how to manage the Nooksack without meddling from the United States or Canada, which are apathetic to the real issues facing our region

Lots of people but also lots of tradition and pretty nice to watch (especially in good weather). I never participated myself if you are wondering.
The game "Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon" is fucking awesome. If you like Open World RPG games like Skyrim/Oblivion, this game is for you. It's not an AAA game, but the resulting game is incredible good for just 50 persons in 4 years.

Jammer dat Eenvandaag weer met t voorbeeld van het toiletbezoek van Orban kwam toen het over consensus in de EU ging.
Veel belangrijker is dat in diezelfde tijd meer zaken 'gedelegeerd' werden naar groepen landen met precies hetzelfde belang. Zo is toen een deel van de EU-defensie geregeld.
Per definitie zitten er ook grote verschillen tussen verschillende regio's. Zo'n oplossing is dan ook zo gek nog niet. (En zet een 'Hongarije' buiten spel)
