It won’t work as live action, and Sanderson is probably a little cagey after working on Amazon’s WoT. He would need to have absolute control over the writing.
Wax and Wayne in the style of Fullmetal Alchemist would be amazing though. Comedic but also serious.
China, the country that is increasing the number of coal power plants they build every year?
Ohh is that why boost still works? I should reinstall it.
I want to see AI Voyager episodes like people are doing for the Simpsons and family guy. Basic 3d models interacting with each other using generated dialog.
Just Janeway and crew wandering the Delta quadrant violating the prime directive in the name of coffee.
My Reddit usage is highly correlated with whether or not I’m at my desk.
I feel like I need to wash my hands after opening the official Reddit app on my phone.
I find it fascinating. You could play bingo with those people’s profiles.
The squares would be something like:
There is no continent called “America”. We have North America and South America.
When someone says “South American” I don’t think Alabama I think Brazil or Argentina.
The term “North American” is commonly used when you’re describing something that applies to both Canada and the US. Eg. “North American sports teams”.
We commonly use the term “Central American” when referring to Mexico, El Salvador, etc. because even though they are technically in North America there is a strong cultural divide, similar to how the middle East is technically Asia, but you’d never refer to someone from Saudi Arabia as “Asian”.
My mortgage payment plus property taxes is less than the going rental rate for an equivalent 3br suite, and I bought last year.
The thing that convinced me is that my mortgage payment stays the same every year while everything else goes up with inflation, including my salary.
We’ll see where we’re at when it’s time to renew in 4 years but the way things are going even if it costs me an extra $1000/month I’m still probably coming out ahead.
A good chunk of both my TikTok and YouTube feed is already Canadian content creators.
It’s in their best interest to promote local results because they tend to be more engaging.
I doubt any of the social media platforms will have to change anything, and the streaming services already have CanCon sections.
They should release virus trading cards. Get vaccinated to receive a booster pack with the various variants and a chance to get limited edition numbered runs.
The argument was that Shaw and Rogers generally don’t compete in the same markets. Rogers wanted Shaw to expand their presence in the west. Shaw wanted the deal because they are actually a horribly managed company and didn’t want to spend the money needed to upgrade their ancient copper lines or roll out 5G towers. They are a shell of the company they were 10+ years ago.
The one area they did compete was in wireless, and they were forced to sell off Freedom Mobile.
Honestly as a Freedom customer this deal has been fantastic. Quebecor has done more in the past 6 months to expand their service than Shaw has done in the previous 2 years. Prices have dropped, they eliminated the nationwide data cap, rolled out 5G, and the overall quality of the service has improved substantially.
So on the surface it sucks because we lost a major player in the tv/home internet space, but they were rapidly fading into obscurity anyway. I would have seen Quebecor buy them in their entirety and merge them with Videotron, but as it stands not much of value was lost.
It wasn’t a ban. It was a tax designed to funnel money into the media companies that own our politicians.
It failed spectacularly because it shows that Canadians don’t visit Facebook for news coverage, and that Meta was 100% correct to not pay for access to content that its users don’t care about.
I use the proprietary version for the remote tools and settings sync.
I can work from home on my windows PC with no loss of productivity compared to my Linux workstation.
And the ability to open any GitHub repo in the browser based Code just by pressing . is a game changer.
My new connector hell is trying to find a micro usb cable to charge that one device I still have that uses it.
It’s also worth pointing out that Apple is part of the USB-IF and was one of the early pioneers of the Type C connector, so it’s not like the EU is forcing them adopt some random foreign design.
It’s not even good will. Retaining skilled employees is worth more to the company than suppressing wages.
I worked for a Sobeys chain for over a decade and lost count of the number of times they let a skilled employee walk over a trivial promotion, only to have to fill their position with two people in the short term. Then after countless hours wasted searching for and training a replacement they’d do the exact same thing.
Like, you can’t bump your weekend dairy guy from $17.50 to $18 but you can replace him with 2 high school kids making $15.25/hour that combined still manage to do a worse job.
Nearly every food item on the shelf has plastic. Aluminum cans are lined with plastic on the inside, glass bottles have a plastic freshness seal/cap. Even pasta boxes, one of the few cardboard packaged goods that don’t have an inner plastic liner often have a little plastic window so you can see what the pasta looks like.
And yet we’re being told that plastic bags are the problem. Literally the only plastic thing you get from the grocery store that isn’t single use. Instead we have paper bags which are bulkier and have a higher carbon footprint, and we still end up with a bunch of actually single use plastic bags because we no longer have anything to use as small garbage bags.
One of our senators mentioned that the threshold was set so that it only affects Google and Meta. Microsoft can share news stories without paying because Bing isn’t as popular.
That same senator also said that more people should start using Bing™, and that it’s actually a really good search engine. Not even joking. The article read like a sponsored post.
Years ago my credit score tanked to the mid 600s because they were reporting the limit on my cellphone plan as $70, so even though I had auto payment set up had never missed a payment in the 5 years I’d had the account, it was reporting as $60/70 utilized.
I was getting docked for “high utilization”, even though the credit card that was connected to that account had a $25000 limit and was fully paid off every month.
3 months ago my mortgage showed up on my credit report, after not showing up for a year, and it dropped my score by 40 points until last week when it magically went back.
I’m in favour of the idea of credit reporting, there are a lot of people that abuse the system, and I think the lenders have a right to know if the person taking out a loan has a history of defaulting/missed payments or is carrying 6 figures of credit card debt, but assigning it a number seems so arbitrary.
Depends on what you’re using it for. Fedora’s release ver upgrades are fairly seamless. Just a big dnf update really.
Meanwhile I have a bunch of servers stuck on CentOS 7 that are going to need to be completely rebuilt by next summer. I’m also limited by them because the pdf generator I use requires a version of libpango that was released in 2019 and EL7 is stuck on the 2018 version.
I switched from Rocky to Fedora Server because I was sick of running into compatibility issues with dependencies that exist in the Fedora repo and not EL.
Specifically postgres. One of the projects requires postgis and gdal, which are in the Fedora community repo, but I have to use the official postgres repo on Rocky and the people that maintain those repos are literally incompetent. They have an automated script that generates all of the packages and they can’t even be bothered to double check that the packages are built against the correct version of postgres, so your install will fail because a PG14 package is looking for a dependency that only exists in the PG11, PG12, and PG15 repo.
