To interject with a somewhat pedantic point, nothing is truly apolitical. But there is something to be said about sensing the proper time and place to start a political argument.

Except the marketing in this case is actually more accurate. Using ‘kilo-’ to refer to 1024 of something is a straight up misnomer. The Ancient hackers really cursed us with an ambiguous convention for counting bytes.

They’ve really had to go into overdrive recently to keep coming up with fresh ones, since Carney is just doing everything they’ve been talking about.

At this point I’m suspicious of the fact that “Pierre Poilievre” is an alliteration. It’s as if he’s somehow made of catch phrases, like some kinda comic book villain.

Buddy. Catch phrases are 100% of this guy’s vocabulary. He sometimes puts 3-4 of them in a single sentence. Say I’m watching hockey on tv, I’ll just be pouring liquor into my mouth for 30 seconds every time a PP ad comes on. By the end of the game I’ll have serious brain damage (only partially from the drinking).

You can bet whoever dropped $100k on this low-poly piece of crap is also the type of person who would shut down production for an hour by commanding all the sub-minimum wage peons (who actually do all the work around there) to load a bunch of lumber into this thing, snap a photo, and unload it. At no point in time was the cargo ever in danger of being transported somewhere.

Danielle Smith getting left on read after the amount of bootlicking she’s done is a top tier joke lol

That’s a good question. This group - Democracy Watch - is a non-profit, which as far as I can tell, seems to be operating in good faith. Their stated goals to hold governments and corporations accountable in the interest of safeguarding and improving democracy are definitely admirable. But I also couldn’t find any disclosure of funding sources, so make of that what you will.

Different day, different sample. I wouldn’t read too much into it unless it becomes a trend.

Trudeau had that and did fuck all. We all need to spend the next 4 years actively hounding our MPs about this.

Sorry to call you out like this, but what a ridiculous interpretation. That is absolutely not what is happening. This is purely an artifact of FPTP being a useless system.

Came here to say essentially the same thing. It’s not that we don’t want those people here, everyone is welcome, but it’s a community effort.

It is a little disappointing, this person clearly had enough motivation to want to climb out of the walled garden, and this place exists specifically to be a home for such people. But I don’t think we should be too upset or hard on ourselves. It was never going to work out. This person came here with a set of expectations that were never going to be met.

Their first instinct after coming across an issue was to throw the concept of Lemmy into a volcano and take to an external platform to act like we owe them a refund. If that tiny amount of jank is enough to send them into an indignant tailspin, this is definitely not a place where they would thrive.

Maybe they’ll find the resilience to try again later when reddit bans them for even mentioning the word “lemmy”.

Pretty sure OP is the hat man after seeing this

Cory Doctorow’s blog pluralistic.net is required reading as far as I’m concerned.

You should also look into Escape Pod if you like sci-fi (just a hunch).

You have a point when it comes to online shopping (although I’d call it a simple monopoly), but there’s no such effect at physical stores. Interac and cash are already universally accepted, people can stop using visa/mastercard right now and not even have to think about it. Just grab a different card when you leave the house.

Yup, if you’re pronouncing Calgary as a 3 syllable word, you’re doing it wrong.

But then again, there are some cities where people add letters that aren’t there, like Vangcouver

Wait, that’s on gem? I need to stop sleeping on this service. That movie is a classic.

City Planner Plays is quite literally the Bob Ross of city building games. He uses his actual professional knowledge of city planning to build really creative and compelling stuff, and he makes it seem easy enough that you want to try doing it yourself. He has commissioned a library of chill lofi beats that he plays in the background of all his videos, which adds to the vibe immensely. And on top of that, he seems like a sincerely pleasant guy, just having fun doing a thing he enjoys doing. It’s an absolute gem of a channel.

Same thing, but KFC! In Canada they used to have Toonie Tuesdays, you could get 2 pieces of chicken and fries for $2.

Now for the weird part. My dad was kinda obsessed with KFC chicken. He had a colonel sanders shaped piggy bank, specifically for collecting $2 coins, for the singular purpose of buying fried chicken on Tuesdays.

|| is the logical OR in most languages I know of, but I’m pretty sure python only has the or keyword, no shorthand.

Bitwise OR applies the logic to the individual bits in the underlying data. Think about how you would add two large numbers by hand. Write one number above the other and add at each position. Bitwise or is like that, except you OR the two bits in each position instead of adding them.

In your example (you can do an OR with n inputs, the result is 1 if any input is 1):

11001 25
01010 10
00101 5
----- OR
11111 31

So your code is actually being interpreted as if coin == 31:

Trump done pissed off the cowfolk! If Calgarians are mad about this, just think how mad the rest of us must be lol
