fearing another repeat of the Avro Arrow fiasco.

the current canadian government (conservatives) is looking to buy about 65 brand new f-35's to replace the, while still capable, ageing cf-18's. the liberals swear that they'll scrap the whole deal should they come into power before the deal goes down. it strikes me as being crazily similar to the ill-fated Arrow program. the canadian aero-space industry is just getting back on its feet and while we aren't designing our own fighter jets, this could be the first great step in doing so again. if the liberals do follow through on there claim, it'll be another setback which may take decades to return to where it is now. if there is an election before this happens, then i'm voting conservative.

surprised

last night while plaing a game (i did better than usual) two players from the opposing team accused me, and a friend i was playing with, of cheating and said that they'd report me for doing so. i was quite surprised by this. they say that i was using "illegal" combinations to win. well to clear things up, i was playing call of duty: black ops. the weapon i was using at the time was an m14 rifle that's a semi-automatic. i have a quick trigger finger so i can get the fire rate up pretty high so it might seem like a full-auto weapon sometimes. the only attachment i used was a grip to control kickback. it just surprises me of how seriously some people take videogames sometimes. i'll complain about get killed repeatedly as much as the next guy, but unless i have actual proof beyond them killing me a bunch of times, then i just usually sit back and laugh about it. i've come across some lag-switchers (they confirm it themselves after each match) and are reported by everyone in the room. it's just weird to me.

you know what? no matter how smart you are, if you can't remember what it is, you'll end up calling it a "thingie"

post numero 1

as with all things to start, this will start with a brain teaser. but, before i get to that, i feel the need to give some backstory to it. i came up with this about ten years ago and so far no ones been able to guess the right answer on their own yet, so here it is: "How many sides does a circle have? and name each side." to save some trouble, the answer is not "infinite sides" as it would be impossible to identify each side. the best advice i can give is don't over think it. and also since i came up with this, you wont find the answer anywhere on the net. so good luck!
