Yeah my news might be delayed by a day so it could be anything

I just looked it up. Apparently I can just go vote at an elections Canada office anytime, 7 days a week during open hours. Like 10 mins from my house. Didn’t know that was an option.

Diets are highly species specific, but mosquitos are generally less than 3% of the diet for most birds and bats. Too small, don’t fly around at the correct time of day/night, and pretty agile, so they aren’t supper important for most birds and bats.

Also, usually they hatch in the billions all at once and die within a few weeks so there’s a very limited amount of time that they even can be preyed on as food. Their strategy (many of them, not all species) is to overwhelm any predators with numbers.

25mb was a large file like 30 years ago. Now it’s like a couple PDFs with some pictures in it

It’s pretty amazing how out of touch Netflix can be

This device was one of our main projects to build in our electronics class, all 25 of us built one and then they were pretty much all placed around the school.

I don’t know, to me a * b * c is basically just the exact same as a • b • c but just easier to type on a computer. If you were writing it down on paper or a black board they would probably use dots. Coding often uses * because who wants to type in those dots would be a pain in the ass and the * basically looks the closest to a dot.

So it sort of opened to a +3% roughly this morning. Is that just a dead cat bounce as people try and catch the falling knife?

I don’t think there’s enough information to blame them but there’s also not enough to absolve them completely like that. If they were working you would think they would see how bad the weather and flooding was on their way to work or something and think, hey, maybe Johnny shouldn’t be walking in this?

Personally I just don’t see work or career as the end all be all of someone’s worth. I just work so I can get money to advance my real goals.

If I reached the peak of my career than that’s good, it means I’m getting as much money / free time as I possibly can to actually enjoy my life outside of work.

Not everyone has a suitable spot to do vehicle maintenance. Not exactly easy if you have angled driveways, or park on the street, etc.

I’m no millionaire but I definitely sold my stocks shortly after Trump was elected so I’m at least not too worried as I might be able to get them back for pennies. For once a market crash might actually benefit me. If only house prices came down as well, then I might actually be able to afford one.

I don’t understand the argument for attacks in restrooms. How often does that happen in America?

And how is it that separate washrooms are supposed to prevent it? If a man is going to attack a woman ina restroom, is a sign saying they aren’t allowed in really going to stop them if no one else is around?

Why is that a problem? It gets rid of bias and would actually help minorities defeat bias in the court and get a more fair judgement.

Yeah honestly I don’t see a problem with this. If it’s his own words why does it matter if it’s AI speaking or himself? Even if it’s not his own words, he could just as easily say the same shit on camera, why does the person in the video needs to be him?

It’s too bad there isn’t a way to just have one location for everyone to create an account, like a lemmy.com, and then the last step during account creationg is to select your preferred instance for the account, maybe from like a drop down list that has a small blurb about the rules and expectations for that instance and a list of top 10 hosted communities, and maybe even a random choice option, and then you can go back to that main area to switch your instance later if need be.

Anyone who devotes the majority of their life to their job is sort of a loser in my opinion.

Yeah I find most of the AI art generators are just allowing people who aren’t artistic to make their own stuff which they wouldn’t have paid someone for anyways if AI wasn’t there, they would have just gone without, so it’s not really a lose to artists.

That’s pretty silly if the contractor doesn’t need to have some sort of certification. Anyone can go build a house without knowing what they are doing and then 10 years down the line no one knows who built it when things start to fall apart, or who to blame, and the contractor probably keeps building things wrong the entire time.

Is there any sort of professional requirement to build homes? Like architects needmto be registered and meet minimum standards to design things. Are there registration/requirements for a contactor to oversee the construction of a residential home?
