I will have to vote for the parti québécois even though they are separatists and I don't really like them they are the closest there is to me.

A "free" Quebec will never happen

If I thought there was a chance for it to happen I wouldn't vote for them. I'm not separatist, not even nationalist.

I wish someone around here was even considering free tuition.

Air bubbles keep coming up from my basement toilet = the sound is disconcerting, as is what it portends.

Free Tuition? Lol no. Our taxes are going to be jacked up pretty soon thanks to the baby boomers' pension putting stress on the already weak system. So that should be fun...

Also, you're already done work? What the hell.

My physics prof informing us NOW, after the midterms, that the practice questions he put up were not related to the tests.

Honestly, what the fuck. And his scaling method was just to add 15% to everyone's, so like 30 people ended up with over 100%.
Oh boy.

Sounds like a good reason to adopt policies encouraging young adults to pursue their studies. If the ratio of people working / retired people is to get lower and lower you are better make sure that they are not working at McDonald. If you want people to get a real career you have gotta improve accessibility to higher education. In other words, now is the best time for free education.

Depends on how you define "done".

And again, your exam related stress makes me smile.

Particularly when you have an anticipated shortage of nurses and doctors to care for ballooning health care requirements.

I mean, it's 4 at the latest I think, and you're at home?

That's just weird.

But yeah, exam stress

There are two things that piss me off today!

1. Trying to write OpenGL Vertex Buffer, but all functions are not implemented!!!!

Tried to include lots of libraries but still doesn't work

Opened every .h files in /usr/include/GL/ but cannot find the implementation of the functions anywhere...

2. Too many seeders on BakaBT!!! I'm trying to get 1.0 ratio but can't seed back

Dunno if I should be angry or happy though

Eh. Depends on where you live. I wonder whether metro. agrees with me when I say that our system is pretty solid.

Fuck yeah, Vancity transit is a boss. If you go out into the suburbs, actually just Delta, you're fucked. Otherwise it's straight up amazing.

The transit in Richmond and Kits and Downtown... Swoon.

Maybe this is just me, but I also find Richmond to be suburb-ish in terms of accessibility...

Anyways, being too busy lately to play here in BBT.

Now that they've added in the....Canada line I think it's called? It's gotten stepped up quite significantly.

That was just from my experience this summer though, I don't have to deal with it on a daily basis. And I guess I mean downtown Richmond.

Literally meant the odors in the buses/streetcars/trains. The speed is okay as long as I play the right timings along my routes. But usually there are way too many passengers, and this stinks up things.

Toughen up

Unending pestering.

Is it Orc or Ork? I can never remember and for some reason it gulls me.

I think it's supposed to come from porcine, but it could also be pork.

It's typically spelled with a 'c'.

Can't get much tougher than walking millimetres next to an incoming subway train to reach the car I want.
Yes, there are just too many stupid people obliviously getting in the way.

'Ork' is the alternate spelling of 'Orc' I think.

Getting a craving for pastries when I don't have any.
