It sounds like everything in your network is at least gigabit, which means you should practically be able to get at least 920Mbit speeds after the overhead on speedtest. Also try the google and fast.com speedtests as sometimes they show different results. Also do a full reboot on every device on your network just in case.

Your ISP is probably going to tell you that your speeds are “up to 1Gbps” and that getting lower speeds are normal. I’d still push them for not providing speeds within a reasonable limit of what you are paying for. For reference on my connection I can easily get 930Mbps down on my 1Gbps connection probably 90% of the time.

Agreed, teams will develop defensive strategies over time to mitigate the advantages, or if it becomes too strong the rules will be adjusted.

We are in the analytics era of many sports. Strategies have drastically changed in the past decade or so as teams invest more into the use of statistics for coaching decisions and team strategy. You could probably write the exact same article about how more football games are being decided by teams trying more 4th down conversions when they used to punt.

Yeah I looked at a pack of these on amazon recently and had a good laugh at the tolerance they provided for one of the measurements.

These rebates are a temporary relief at best. Unless we can reduce the prices that Canadians pay for various sectors (e.g. Groceries and housing) this has zero lasting effect other than people remembering that the government sent them a cheque while the monopolies and oligopolies that overcharge Canadians continue to rake in massive profits.

Yes it is a subscription to access the servers. But you also get a ton of access to other content forever (all the past campaigns and TOTD tracks released) so the value is still pretty damn good. Considering I’ve got 2000 hours in the game since release and it has in total cost me about the same as a normal game I’m not going to complain about it being a subscription.

Trackmania 2020. Great example of a game that is simple in concept but super deep in skills that you can both play super casually at your own pace or super competitively. Plus there is a great community and endless content to play.

I’ll die on the hill that classic outlook is far better than Gmail and similar web interfaces for email especially if you have long threads or lots of emails.

Also somehow Google’s email search sucks so bad compared to searching in outlook.

Yup, Motorola sold the mobility division to Google who rustled through their pockets for spare patents before selling the remainder of the brand to Lenovo.

Generally consider what an ingredient is bringing to a dish when considering alternatives.

Deglazing is simply using a liquid to remove fond from the pan, any liquid will do.

Wine brings a few flavours to a dish, primarily sour and umami. Add a bit of vinegar or other acid for the sour. Tomato paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, and stock will all add umami, but you may have to be careful about the amounts to avoid other flavours you may not like (I’ll sometimes mix small amounts of multiple umami boosters to avoid a specific flavour from standing out).

The main thing you won’t be able to replicate is the aromas carried by the alcohol.

This post turned out to be a bit of a rant about what drives me to model my own designs most of the time. In short, it isn’t required, but I highly recommend it.

I’d say that most people who own 3D printers have little to no skill in modelling and are happy printing whatever they can download online. Maybe they hit a point where they want more, but until then learning modelling isn’t a useful skill for them.

Personally, I’m a designer at the end of the day. 3D modelling is a crucial tool in taking my ideas and bringing them to life in a way that can be passed to a manufacturing process and made into a physical object. 3D printing just happens to be the manufacturing tool I use most often for personal projects because it is what I have the easiest access to. If I had a machine shop, I’d use that too. When working on high volume products I’ll design for injection molding, die casting, sheet metal, compression molding, etc.

I’m not against utilizing models people have already put online that solve the problem I want, that is just efficient use of resources. But I agree, most models out there are very poor quality so I pretty rarely use downloaded models. Heck, I just re-modelled Gridfinity bins because I couldn’t find a parametrically adjustable model for SolidWorks that I was happy with (on that note, the dimensional documentation for Gridfinity is straight garbage and I’m still not sure I have it right) and those are some of the most widely available models out there.

I also absolutely despise STL and other non-parametric file formats for sharing designs. They are terrible, inefficient formats that make files very hard to edit. Most people don’t export them in high enough resolution resulting in horrible looking faceted models. The community needs to fully accept STEP as the file format of choice now that any slicer worth using can import them properly.

Yeah, but unfortunately tax cuts are popular with people who don’t understand that their tax dollars provide many services that they use even if they get far more utility out of them than they put in. You may as well be throwing away your chances of getting elected if you say you will increase taxes to fix housing, healthcare and infrastructure which have been neglected for decades by every government.

I remember that Ice soap was also around this time, so of course reddit took it too far and combined them.

I like Floorp better for a Firefox variant, feels more developed and stable than zen.

Looking forward to see the 3D prints made to fix this “feature”.

Im picturing them sending “cash” with the amount written in comic sans.

Mostly better safe than sorry, but not over compensating IMO. All these large companies in China are partially government owned and many of them have known bad security and backdoors that have been exploited (e.g. to create botnets) and could potentially be exploited by the Chinese government who is less friendly with the West these days.

I use mold for everything, but don’t really bat an eye at using mould for the tool that is used to make parts which I see pretty often through my work.

Seriously, my bank used to have a password requirement that was 6 characters exactly, no more or less. Plus symbols were completely banned. The reason, it was also your phone password, so in reality it was a 6 digit numeric password where they interpreted the T9 letters as numbers.
