I'm just your average Canadian arctic wolf. I'm a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

They think they’re some unique “alpha”, meanwhile they all adopt the same exact look: A camo-covered outfit, Oakleys, and the douchiest haircut you can think of. Zero individuality.
- Comment on The car of the guy who insists that you have a terminal case of TDS 1 day ago:
Religious people are taught from birth to blindly believe what is told to them by authority figures and to take things on faith instead of thinking critically. It’s no big surprise that people like that are easy to manipulate and prone to worshipping said authority figures.

.ml bans anyone who dares acknowledge reality, as that’s a violation of rules 1 and 2.

Needs at least 2 more broken down parted-out pickup trucks or cars, several dozen Trump and America flags, and much more random junk all over the lawn. Bonus points if none of said vehicles or junk have moved in years.

Quite the opposite, you want the locomotive to be as heavy as possible without exceeding axle or track load limits. The heavier it is, the more weight it can pull before slipping the wheels.

They put about as much effort into the animation as Saitama does in his everyday life. Which is to say, almost none.
- Comment on Pizza Hut falls into administration with 68 restaurants at risk 3 weeks ago:
The Pizza Hut here where I live is rather depressing. It’s still open somehow, but I never see anyone go inside and the parking lot is always empty and somewhat overgrown. Seems they mainly survive by doing delivery orders, I guess. There’s way better pizza in town so there’s not much appeal to getting PH.
- Comment on Ruby Central tries to make peace after 'hostile takeover' 3 weeks ago:
Especially nowadays, long after “SJW” stopped being commonly used. If they’re still holding on to a 2016 “anti-SJW everyone’s so offended!!” mentality, they’re probably not worth engaging with. Just shows they never matured past that point.

Until their government stops murdering people, Israel needs to be pressured as a whole. Their citizens need to be fed up with it and put a stop to their government, and boycotting them helps.
- Comment on PUT THE TRAINS IN THE BAG 1 month ago:
Oh, probably. And at the very least the Colorado museum also has the Delhi wigwag which does still work thankfully. The IRM has a ton of really cool crossing signals too for sure.
- Comment on PUT THE TRAINS IN THE BAG 1 month ago:
I’m really hoping the Colorado museum gets their wigwag fixed one of these days. Poor thing lights up but doesn’t swing, probably needs new electromagnets.

We had the Food Pyramid here in Canada, which is very similarly a lie pushed by the dairy and grain industries and not linked to any real health benefits.

The ice zone (Southern Shelf) is only the very beginning of the game, you reach more interesting areas after defeating the first major boss, Captain Flynt.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 month ago:
Slop has existed as a word far longer than AI has. Uses for the word slop include:
-
Unappetizing watery food or soup.
-
Spilled or splashed liquid.
-
Waste food fed to farm animals such as pigs.
-
Soft mud or slosh.

Denuvo is hardly even a deterrent at this point. So many games are releasing unfinished and broken that pirating it right when it comes out would just be a waste of time. It’s only by the time Denuvo is removed later on that the game may be in a more playable state and thus worth bothering with.

It’s a list of the shit he’s said in the past, shit he wished to force on everyone else in the US.
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 2 months ago:
I doubt he had any time to think. He was killed instantly while doing a “debate” so his mind was probably elsewhere before it ceased to exist.
