There is a big difference between a good person that will not intentionally do you harm and is happy to help vs one that would enter risk to save you in life or death.

I know lots of people I am confident would do me no harm and treat me well. I know a few that do not care / can’t be trusted.

As for my life that is fairly limited to select family and a few friends.

So I am not a fan of PP but how is the hypocritical? He isn’t even related by blood to this relative it isn’t Hypocritical unless he actual has defended this relative staying in Canada.

Mall traffic has been declining for decades. It’s not like I haven’t gone into one every few years to look around… The last time I purchased something there was dress cloths for work, and maybe some dress shoes.

NOTHING about those stores has kept up with the times or trends, they just kind of kept falling more and more into disrepair as time went on…

It isn’t even US competitors, a lot of what they sell I would go elsewhere to Canadian options for anyway.

I am more likely to purchase furniture and appliances from The Brick or Trail Appliances.

The Bay or HBC was decades over due for a complete overhaul of its assortment and its retails space.

FYI the Kirkland Signature 2-ply is labels made in Canada with domestic and imported materials. (obviously less Canadian than going with a Canadian brand but still made here)

Good thing as a Canadian I don’t care what Americans THINK of us too much. They value their independence so do we.

I don’t even need to do the math, you would have two liquids, one you are boiling for steam and one you are using for fuel… Replace that ALL with fuel…

Firefox was stubborn enough not to support H.265 till JUST recently and only on windows… Doesn’t work with my 4k security cameras as well as Chrome or Safari based browsers.

But ublock origin lite is by the same dev… Not as many features but it conforms to the new rules and is still much better than not having a blocker if you use chrome or edge.

For reference I have large hands and throught the original huge Xbox “Duke” Controller was comfortable.

Un popular opinion when I had to support those damn things I actually hated the keyboards, always felt the keys where too small

Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records and then received an unconditional discharge of his sentence.

Trump would just pardon him… Nothing you can do now.

In my home lab I have them separate the OPNSense box has full performance on its own HW, only needs to be patched once in a while and is super stable.

I have managed to crash / lockup one of my proxmox hosts at least once while messing around with HW past though or by giving a guest enough cores to slow the whole box down.

Family never gets interrupted playing games or streaming Netflix with my lab separate from the critical internet service.

New versions of OPNsense installed with ZFS support snapshots before upgrading natively sort of taking one of the promox vm tricks out of the pro list making it neutral.

Nearly all brands have produced unreliable and a reliable series of hard drives.

Really have to look at them based on series / tech.

None of the big spinning rust brands really can be labeled as unreliable across the board

OpenOMF is an Open Source remake of “One Must Fall 2097” by Diversions Entertainment.

For those that had no idea what this abbreviation stood for.

console = network, game = content… is my argument.

IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.

I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.

Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase… it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

Nintendo allowed Sega’s Sonic Heroes to compete with Super Mario Sunshine on their own game conosle

99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform

Private company doesn’t allow promotion of competing product? That is just good business? No surprises here.

I was asked this at a café less than ten minutes ago now.

I guess this would be country/state dependent.
