Oh! 😅 Thanks.

Can I be educated as to what Star Trek Returns is? Is it different to the 2013 to 2017 fan series Star Trek Continues?

Canadians not so nice after all 😜 (I also think it was added in post though)

I know what you’re getting at 😆

Decilitre is actually the common unit for drinks in Hungary (and possibly in other countries). Hungarians also use dekagramm, which is 10 grams. But the cool thing about metric is that to convert, you just move the decimal around!

The French actually tried it, here’s the Wikipedia article.

A more reasonable thing to do is something like Swatch Internet Time, you get 1000 “.beats” in a day with no time zones. Beyond a day it might not be too helpful to keep decimal, there will be 365+fraction days a year no matter how you measure it.

I had the opposite problem, I brought a soldering iron from Europe to Canada, and despite using a step up transformer, it just couldn’t get hot enough to melt the solder!

Looks good! Bookmarked for future reference.

I wouldn’t say pale in comparison. Enterprise was really good in my opinion. Lower Decks and Prodigy too, these are a bit different, but have the same spirit I think.

I also rewatch The Original Series episodes every once in a while. The show as a whole is not really good by modern standards, but it has gems and it’s interesting to see where it all began.

Every show except Discovery has a balance of great episodes, filler episodes, and bad episodes. Discovery was bad from A to Z.

Yeah, probably. But just another “what if” scenario…

Yeah sure, that’s why the list is sorted from most egregious to least.

A two party system is a band-aid solution to the gashing wound that is first-past-the-post.

Probably true about Liberal victory, but if all spoiler candidates dropped out this election cycle, Libs would have had 41 seats to the NDP’s 31, and the Greens would have had 3.

So Libs will have had to be in a coalition to govern, and their coalition partners could have pushed proportional representation.

Both Marit Stiles and Bonnie Crombie put defeating Ford at the top of their agenda. If they were serious about it they wouldn’t have filed candidates in ridings where vote splitting was a concern. They would have divvied them up and formed a coalition, but I guess defeating Ford was not that important after all. Not having done that is wishful thinking at best given the polls, and more realistically, idiocy.

They are not the same party, but both their leaders + Mike Schreiner put defeating Ford at the top of their agenda. If they were serious about it they wouldn’t have filed spoiler candidates!!

Yeah, party leadership is way more at fault that individual candidates but as the Eglinton-Lawrence case showed, they do have the power to at least minimize vote splitting. I’m very disappointed that the Greens put up 124 candidates when they only had good chance to win 3 seats. Why not focus your effort on these instead of spoiling or helping to spoil 11 ridings!?

I think these two separate objectives are good, but at the end of the day subscriber count is just a number. The real objective is having an actual representative democracy in Canada at all levels of government.

Even with 261 subs, posts from this comm can reach “all” (that’s how I found this place). That’s the way to reach people who aren’t too engaged with this topic. We just need to have a critical mass of people upvoting.

Good luck voting fellow Ontarians!!! May the 45th Parliament be proportionally representative!

With that kind of money Doug Ford can build almost 4% of the tunnel under the 401.

That’s very unfortunate but hopefully you developed skills that will help you in your future career.
