Hardly any maple syrup outside of quebec. One of the few things that keep me here.

Because they don’t put the effort in.

Add a simple “the video isn’t served until the ad’s length has elapsed” and suddenly your only workaround is to spend 30s staring at a black screen.

I use it all the time as a kind of brainstorming tool.

“I want to do X (and details), can you tell me what tools or algorithms are available to me? List their pros and cons and give me some comparison”

Or on a somewhat recent project of mine, I has to effectively stub an entire library (but didn’t have to be done well), so I just told AI “take this page (the docs) and generate empty function stubs from it”. It doesn’t need to be high quality since it doesn’t run, it’s just to fool the dotnet engine.

I also tend to ask AI to add logging to some functions, since it’s annoying to do and impossible to mess up.

Maybe so, but kernel cheats these days are extremely easy to make, even more so on linux (since you can just hotload them at will while windows whines about signing).

‘Never trust the client’ does very little to prevent automation and aimbots.

In league of legends for example, kernel cheats that auto-aim your skillshots and automatically walk out of the enemy’s were really common, especially in high elo, and there is nothing the server can do to prevent them. I’ve seen my fair share of cheaters around GM elo over the years, but now, I don’t think I’ve seen a single one since they added vanguard. Though it does suck that I still need a windows partition.

It’s the contrast I think. -20c outside, keep it at 19c at home then go to a public place and they keep it at 23-24c for some reason. No wonder I feel like I’m being slow roasted.

The major complaint I hear is that it takes forever to charge. It’s fine for commuting if you charge at home/work, but sounds a bit rough for road trips and the likes.

I often see people at the gas station’s plug just watching videos or reading a book outside, doesn’t make me want one. Hybrid though I could see myself buying.

This is why I’m happy to be a dude. Pregnancy and periods are not something I ever want to deal with.

Unfortunately they refuse to cross the ocean when you’re riding them.

If you have a slow cooker or dutch oven, making a basic stew is a simple as cutting veggies and throwing that with some broth and beef cubes for a few hours. Spice it with a lot of thyme and garlic. For a better broth, consider red wine (the cheapest is fine) and thicken it with corn starch.

I always do stews for myself and I live alone. You can store the extra portions in mason jars, keeps very well, though if you’re doing that I recommend whole small potatoes since cut ones will dissolve over time.

Considering a single can of most soda has around 50g of sugar in it, which is more than the daily recommended amount, I wouldn’t call soda “not that sugary”.

But it’s good.

If parking is free, you’d still be paying for it indirectly through your tuition. By charging for it, only those who actually need it pay for it.

Imagine you don’t have/use a car but still indirectly pay for other people’s parking spots because they can’t be bothered to walk.

I personally don’t see the appeal, though to each their own.

The world’s leaders looked at history

I have to stop you right there.

Honestly you don’t need your family to be rich. A family well-off enough to give you:

• Good financial education
• Doesn’t kick you out at 18 or require rent
• Pays your tuition (maybe not in the US)
• Supporting in your endeavors
• Family loans (not having to pay interest is massive)

Makes a HUGE difference.

Buying supplements for this harmless a phenomenon is kinda crazy.

Doubt that. Falling like this happens to me every winter, it’s not that bad, it just hurts for a week or two after that.

Bad take imo. You don’t control any of that, but you do control how financially educated you are, and despite the “greedy landlords” it can still make a huge difference. There are still a LOT of people who buy basic items on payment plans, for example.

I like Satisfactory but it’s so much more shallow than factorio, especially when mods get involved. It’s also poorly optimized (at least compared to factorio, which I don’t think any game has come close to in that regard). It’s a fun game to play once or twice, or for people who don’t have much time to sink into it, but it gets boring pretty quickly imo. Factorio on the other hand has some of it’s most popular mods take 100+ hours to complete.

Of course I agree a long wait time for treatment is better than no treatment at all. But the common concern here I hear from most people around me is that it’s generally much slower (at least in Quebec) than in other countries with such healthcare (eg. Scandinavian countries). How much of that is just a case of “the grass is greener on the other side”, I do not know.

I’ve been fortunate enough to not require healthcare so far, though I’m not sure how it will go when I need it. The population is getting older, and older people generally need more healthcare. That’s less health workers for more sick people and less workers paying for more healthcare.

Might depend where you live. Here in Quebec, I know someone who could either get his cancer cured in 2+ years here (which would have been too late, but technically free or almost free), or instantly in the US but for 200k, so he raised money and got it cured in the US.

Could be that this isn’t the same in other parts of Canada, but at least in Quebec, this kind of story is very common. At a smaller scale, one would pay to go to the private sector here instead.
