chocobean Link ParentIt's crazy that I still think of 2023 as "last year".

Comment on Jim Pattison won't sell US warehouse proposed as new Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in ~society
chocobean LinkI know they have to stick with their usual language but boy does that feel like an understatement. Sadly, I don't think the Vancouver / Canadian protests are out of solidarity with Virginia, but...The county's board of supervisors said the facility would "change the character of the area" and was not consistent with established land use.
I know they have to stick with their usual language but boy does that feel like an understatement.
Hill said the opposition to the sale on both sides of the border shows the unity between the two countries' residents, despite the current U.S. administration's "intentional severance" from its closest allies.
"I think the vast majority of Canadians and Americans feel a kinship. I think that most of us — apart from ice hockey — probably feel really strongly that we have a really strong tie to one another."
Sadly, I don't think the Vancouver / Canadian protests are out of solidarity with Virginia, but rather out of wanting nothing to do with the entire administration / country.
Amid ICE’s expansive immigration crackdown that has seen federal agents shoot and kill two American citizens in Minneapolis, Minn., one business ethics expert says companies need to be clear about where they draw the line on who they do business with, or else they risk tanking staff morale and public opinion.
“If I were a CEO, I wouldn't want my name or my company's name, my brand, associated with what's going on in the States right now,” said Chris MacDonald, an associate professor in the law and business department at Toronto Metropolitan University.
“There's just a plain ethical issue. There's a question of right and wrong and whether it's right for a company, or for anyone, to be contributing, even in a small way, to the activities that are going on.”
In a social media video viewed over 80,000 times on TikTok alone, B.C. Green Party leader Emily Lowan called on Pattison to sever ties with ICE and encouraged people to boycott his grocery stores.
“As we stare down what is increasingly the fascist and possible civil war unfolding in the United States, I think as Canadians we need to be crystal clear about who is driving, who's contributing to the crises we're facing and how we can step up and take real actions,” Lowan said in an interview with CBC News.
Bonus follow-up: the Original Post Article was from Jan 30, so the mentioned protest-turned-celebration plus protest-against-hootsuite has also happened as well: (CTV). Their three year contract is probably harder to get out of than the warehouse, but absolutely their brand will be associated with the stench forevermore.

chocobean Link ParentOh i like that. The "Moonlighter" approach of having a little rest stop with food and storage chests etc. Outfitting the little "inn" is definitely more my speed than going into it.Oh i like that.

Oh this is fun, thank you for sharing! :)
So can I confirm that it's two taps to rotate: first to highlight a pivot node, then tap again to rotate right? Is it possible to play previous days?
