Punitive damages can be awarded for bad-faith bargaining, which definitely seems to be the case here.

It's a stretch perhaps, but that's what I think would be reasonable.

Probably not really feasible - it will require constant connection to a back-end server to play or some bullshit like that.

But even if you can, that's not the answer. The proper action is to deny them entirely. Don't play the game, don't play PUBG, don't do anything that expands their reach, money or not.

They need to suffer with NOBODY playing this game. They need to suffer by people deleting their Battlegrounds accounts. Software piracy is what makes games legendary.

Oooh, there's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

$250M PLUS legal costs PLUS $250M in punitive fees. That should hurt them a bit.

We have a plan to deal with this.

Step #1 is to let one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gasses destroy itself in a civil war.

Gen X weighing in. That'll only last you so long, then your body starts to rebel no matter what.

It depends on who "we" are.

If you're in the US, then bad news buttercup - you're already under the thumb of a ruthless insane dictator, and the economy is the last of your worries.

Oh, also the NBC coverage still has Bob Roll. UGH!!! That's just a personal thing, but GOOD GOD I HATE LISTENING TO HIM BUTCHER NAMES!!! If I hear "Jonas Vingegoo" one more time, I may have to blow up my computer.

I miss Paul Sherwin so much. He and Liggett had a charm together that Roll could never hope for.

I know, not your problem. Just...ugh. Why did NBC choose him?

I guess I’ve just given up and assume everyone would just cut us off. I’ve really only seen negativity twords the US, so that colors my view. There’s also my buddy from Japan who advised me to say I was Canadian when traveling internationally due to the negativity he’s seen directed at the US when he’s traveling Asia and Europe.

Speaking as a Canadian, your friend from Japan can fuck right off.

Even the good people from the US (and there absolutely are some - some of my dearest friends are from SoCal) are not Canadian, and either (a) can't pull it off, or (b) skew the rest of the world's view of Canadians.

So please don't.

Oh, there are two simple answers to this:

  1. He will NEVER accept accountability for his actions. If he feels like it, he'll eat a live baby on TV and walk away untroubled.
  2. He will be held accountable when (and ONLY when) the people hold him accountable.

He will never stop until he is in jail or dead. And the same is true for most of his sycophant followers.

Depending on the weeds, this can cause them to propagate further, and may be a bad idea.

Have you contacted the RCMP about this?

Google Contacts, like most of their products, keeps changing and getting worse. Somewhere along the way it deleted all of the street address information from my contacts!

Ideally looking for a tool that checks these boxes:

  • Open-source
  • Android, Web, and (if necessary) Linux and Windows clients
  • Stores contact info locally (i.e. self-hosted)
  • Stores contact info securely (encrypted)
  • Can store in a cloud location (e.g. Sync, Dropbox)

It seems like a tall order, but KeePass has managed to do that with their password vault, so why not contact info?

Any success stories out there?

Well, kinda.

Have two computers - my main one which has a failing internal drive (doesn't contain crucial stuff) and an old Linux machine which...has a failing internal drive.

Took them both out of their corners and blew the dust out - so much dust! Reseated the cables, moved some things around, and plugged 'em back in.

The main computer has the same problem as before, so I'm recovering as much data as I can before swapping out the dead drive.

The Linux computer won't even power on now. Gonna have to look at that this weekend.

EDIT: The Linux machine is back. Turns out the power plug I used for the internal drive is...questionable. Grabbed a different one and it came up fine. Well, fine to the point of recovery at least.

The official provider is once again Flobikes - as shitty of a company as ever existed.

Even if they weren't so terrible, they charge $210/year, and that's the minimum subscription window.

So VPNs? Restreaming? Or do we just ignore the greatest bike race on earth again?

My mom died last month, and we've been cleaning out her suite. After an initial cleanup and an estate sale, we're packing the rest up for donation. Today four of us moved most of the furniture out and got almost everything packed.

Tomorrow, we'll hopefully get the rest done before my wife and I start the 3 hour drive home.
