The statement they posted from Air Canada says:

our aircraft are positioned in the right place, for the duration of the stoppage and for when the time comes to restart our operation

which would effectively mean stranding unpaid crew across the globe for the duration of a strike/lockout to apply pressure to settle in their own favour.

Oh, wow, I see. That is quite devious. Thank you for sharing that. I will be sure to bring this up when the topic does inevitably come up.

AirCanada ghost them and change employee scheduling so as much as possible employee will be stranded outside of Canada, employees had to call ill en masse so they didn’t fly a one way to Beijing without hotel or way home.

Do you have a source for this?

Streaming services don’t include any extras. Torrents (so I am told but I would never do that, myself, haha) are just the movie and maybe subtitles but nothing else. I doubt you are in the minority. Anyway, we are both afforded options to enjoy however we like. (Just wish I had chromecast support, but I will live). Cheers.

Blu-ray menus do kind of suck, but they are still mostly good enough to make all the supplemental material accessible (assuming the studio bothered to provide any anymore). But DVD menus (at least during that earlier golden age) add a layer to the experience I never knew I had been missing.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show has some dancing fishnet legs and sexyhorror lips dancing around. You get to see so many extras and choose two versions of the movie and AND a secret Easter egg third version. A smorgasbord. Same for Terminator 2: two good versions of the movie and that lame Star Trek-ish ending one was hidden and I love having the option to not watch it. Plus many more. Fight Club is the only one I can think of to make use of that camera angle swapping button. The DVD versions of Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace wouldn’t work any other way.

Perfect way to kill time when others go for a last minute toilet visit or decide to make popcorn. I am not going to the trouble of transcoding my entire library to get less.

I am still using Kodi. It is feeling a bit long in the tooth in current year, but I can’t complain. I tried Plex because chromecasting is a feature I would love. Sadly it didn’t support the ISOs of my 1:1 rips. Maybe it does now (I stopped waiting for them years ago). As for Jellyfin, they seem to have an anti-ISO stance. One of the devs seemingly (or someone claiming to be a contributor) said I should convert all my media to a more modern format and make my own menus because it would be fun. Oh well, Kodi it is.

Police investigation concludes “boys will be boys”

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not exactly a style, but those conversation pit things need to come back.

Isn’t spirulina more effective for capturing carbon than trees? And also you can eat it in the way you don’t normally eat trees? Trees are great and all but why do you want me to be angry about algae?

“Wait, you’re not plankton.”

I thought it was funnier when I assumed the scissors were talking and man Kevin was jaw-dropped shocked.

I’m here but I’m not United Statesian so I can’t vote in your elections (even though US foreign influence is so aggressive it feels like I should have a say).

Oh no, I’ve upset some MAGA weirdos. Gonna lose sleep over that.

No, it doesn’t, of course. I was only speaking to your comment that suggests Greenland’s population is white, because that felt disingenuous to the 90% who are Inuit. Anyhoo, peace.

Greenland is mostly Inuit.

Would that not be trademark infringement, if anything?

Right back atcha, buddy!

Edit: even this was down voted. The Internet is a strange place.

Fellow embarrassed Dutch guy chiming in.

Edit: why did I get down voted for being an embarrassed Dutch guy? LOL, that’s what we are!
