I think in my case, if you judged a gift of hand-selected wildflowers as a bouquet of weeds, I think we both would have established each other's bona fides and we'd be done, so that's kind of a win-win there. :)

    Well, i do have a pretty nice balcony selection. That said, though, i don't think anyone would care about me pulling some tansies, lupins, daisies, or poppies from a vacant lot. You could do a lot just with grasses too.

    Edit: ooh, i forgot clover flowers. Amazingly pretty. Dandelions are lovely too.

    Edit 2: just saw a big cluster of forget-me-nots

    Hm, it's hard to go wrong the Zwilling Henkel knives. Good price for the value, imo.

    My partner prefers a santoku, branded Culinary Institute of America. It's thinner and better for veggies than the basic chef knife.

    It is rare! These rescues came to us through a friend of a friend in the southern USA (Los Angeles, i think), and wended their way over here in BC Canada. I think in warmer climates you'll see it more.

    Oh not at all, nit saying that. I sta d behind my mistakes. Just saying, shit green investments by slimy operatives making big promises.

    It's not automatically moronic to scrap green projects.

    Don't buy those knife sets though. Cheap crap. A good paring knife, a nice big knife like a Chinese cleaver or a German or French style chef's knife, and a bread knife, will work for pretty much anything.

    I was messing around with how Chapter 5 regions might map into the existing game, and came up with this.

    • Connects Milton to the coast
    • unites the two road networks, so you can drive all the way from Bleak Inlet to Suzuki (pre-quakes).
    • connects the railway from Mystery Lake to a coastal port for log export, and obviously all the way to TFTFT
    • Plausibly allows Jace to get stuck in Blackrock, with the mine shortcut to Suzuki, while maintaining her ability to normally drive there (by going through Milton. Hypothetically there could be a road going directly there from Keeper's Pass as well)
    • Desperation Bay is too linear, but it has those two iconic landmarks, so I think the SAR station could go halfway between the ship & the lighthouse.
    • Uses the railway to the SAR to connect to Port Mary.
    • Plausibly justifies Milton being "halfway between the mountains and Port Mary" - the drive to Suzuki could be "in the mountains"
    • Preserves coastal access to Perseverance Wilds

    Have I missed anything big?

    On the ravine heading to the Mystery Lake transition cave, looking between a couple rocks, I see this, looking maybe north-northwest.

    I'm betting that's the road to Keeper's Pass, after the prisoner transport bus tunnel cave-in.

    Pretty neat, never noticed it before.

     

    I've been wondering whether it's better for memory pages to be compressed at the hypervisor level, or on the VM level.

    I'm leaning toward the VM level, because

    1: VMs have better knowledge of memory pressure by the application, and can better decide when to swap pages out to zram. The VM has access to information about memory pages that the hypervisor doesn't have.

    2: if pages are compressed on the hypervisor level, the VM doesn't "see" any increased memory available. The host box gains free memory, but the application never sees it to make use of it, it'll just see the same 8GB as it always has, so it never really benefits. This maybe lets you host more VMs on one box, but at the cost of the applications not being as efficient.

    Is this a reasonable position? I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

    It really lays bare some missing pieces. Like there's no road that goes to Mountain Town currently that connects into the wider network. And the future rail link after it terminates in Coastal Highway certainly has to go north to either Port Mary or Perseverance Mills.

     

    Now that something like a quarter of car sales in BC are EVs, I am starting to think their privileged access to HOV lanes is no longer a sustainable concession. There are just so many that the priority should shift back away from single occupancy vehicles.

    Alternatively, we could keep the allowance, but add a second HOV lane, leaving gas vehicles to whatever's left on the highway. But that probably be unpopular. 😀

    Who in government would I write to express this opinion? MP or MLA?
