Yeah. I’ve got an Artist Pro Wireless, and Sonar stuff has screwed it up in weird ways

You can find them on Amazon if nowhere else

Anon should write and then narrate some D&D audiobooks for kids!

Thanks for this.

We’re all Canadians, and your family would trace back among of the originals in this country. It’s sad that people would think anyone lesser for it, but that says more about them - the ones that need to stand on others to feel big themselves - than your family or heritage. While there will always be those types, I hope the years ahead see them as the minority so the rest of us can help each other make this country a place we’re all proud to call home.

Yeah, we’ve gotten over 30°c and mine has never overheated

C&H aims for edgy dark humor and sometimes only gets it about 2/3 right

Squid are pretty awesome too. More alien than crabs IMO as well.

Crabs are kinda like big tasty water-spiders.

That’s because you’re using LVM though. In most distros you could also use something like:

/dev/vg/root

Mine was, as is my P7, especially compared to a lot of competing devices from Samsung etc

Yeah, I’d tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.

We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident

Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been “sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly”.

Or maybe we’d like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn’t throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.

I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.

This happens in other countries as well. I’ve been told to speak the local (non-English) language when visiting friends overseas when having a private conversation.

Generally, it seems to be nosy old people who are upset about not being able to eavesdrop

Aside from the lift, there may be use cases for the truck where it requires moving multiple people and smaller heavy loads (or pulling a trailer). However, the sad reality is that the heaviest load it’ll likely be moving on a regular basis is the fat ass of the solo passenger in their way to/from fast food and groceries

Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn’t get used very often

Yeah there are a few games that you can try the demo on Steam but you’d think that’d be a more common thing. With full digital, it’s even easier then the old shareware methods

Because water heating with heat pumps is currently garbage on the residential scale.

Also because we’re already stressing electric infrastructure with what we use now, and few plans to add capacity in any reasonable amount to deal with the massive increase in population, plus electric cars, AC during heat waves etc let alone home heating.

Gas is efficient for heating, and there’s plenty of other stuff we can and need to look at before we replace that.

LoL. Well across multiple cities in multiple provinces I’ve yet to see that. The only time lawyers were involved was when they severely fucked up (i.e. like the one where members were trying to skim funds or give contracts to friends/family), and the best “review” they tended to get off bylaw drafts were by the associated property management company, who were often far from professional.

LoL. I’d say the same but then you’ve probably already seen your naturalpath for a prescribed regimen of essential oils and healing crystals

Yeah, it would have to be a proper install that balances stuff like this but if it went to court the council would likely also need to prove that it was creating an actual issue for the property/residents

I’ve been in several stratas including multiple councils, and seen several taken to the courts part bullshit bylaws and lose. One strata actually tried to restrict people’s ability to have a non-married partner overnight. That… did not go over well as it became obvious that the real target was senior members intent on driving out younger residents, as well as a bit of power-tripping.

By that same notion, yeah they can absolutely fine somebody for damage to common property etc during installation, and I’ve seen that happen (i.e. one resident knocked bricks out of they chimney to side-vent a gas-fireplace install) but an outright ban on AC installs when we’re seeing growing heatwaves could likely see a successful challenge for personal health and safety reasons among others. Just depends on whether the resident has the time and resources to fight it.

I can understanding not altering common property, but banning AC entirely is bullshit and quite likely a bylaw that wouldn’t hold up to scrutiny.
