I was sincere about the congratulations but only offered them because I thought you were complaining that the news shouldn’t use fancy words. lol.

I’m glad we were all able to talk this out.

One anecdote: Trans people do exist in rural Canada. The woman who sold me tires outside Saskatoon was I’m-pretty-sure-maybe-definitely trans and gave every appearance of getting along fine with her coworkers.

I can’t speak to her quality of life generally but anyway nobody has chased her off to Vancouver yet. I would imagine tire shops are probably on the worse end for harassment so if Saskatoon was hell on earth for trans people she probably wouldn’t pick a tire shop to work at.

Why 😐?

Congratulations on learning a new word.

I figure they have AI chatbots making the decisions and it can’t term tell the difference between talking about violence and advocating for violence

How does the construction app know what needs to be constructed and how?

How does the waiter app know which table ordered what, needs attention, etc?

How does the IT app know on which port every device is connected?

These things are all real hard to know. Having glasses that display the knowledge could be really nice but for all these magic future apps, having a display is only part of the need.

Are people with $20K lenses excited about kildeer?

I spent a couple weeks at a Southwest Pennsylvania RV park that had kildeer running around all through the greensward in the middle of it. Was I seeing something more remarkable than the usual run of things?

The thing about the more affluent areas is they generally don’t shoot people there very much.

This is cooool

All five of them?

This was very cool to learn

My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.

They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered

only going after overt political dissidents and brown immigrants

They seem to have detained some white tourists lately as well.

Am I missing something?

HandsOff2025.com is still talking about April 5 only, and fiftyfifty.one website says April 19 on the landing page but the “find an event” shows nothing for that day including in Washington DC.

What’s going on with that?

The way it works for power over Ethernet — and I assume USB power delivery must work the same way — is that it does not reduce bandwidth because they run the power and the signal over the same wires at the same time.

There is a a power injector at one end and a filter at the other end that separate out the high-frequency signal and the DC (no-frequency) power into different wires.

This is essentially the same thing as they’re already doing for multi-frequency stacking on those same wires (and on fiber) to get the crazy bandwidth in the first place. DC power is just one more low (very very low) frequency running on the same stack.

If that is true, please explain why all the chicken for sale in my country has gone to shit and good quality meat can’t be found anymore.

Regulations matter. Hold on to them.

I’m not saying “inflation means prices go up” I’m saying “inflation means prices went up”. There can be many things that cause prices to go up, inflation is one result of any such cause and of course then causes many things itself including further inflation.

In your scenario that’s inflation caused by price fixing. You seem to be saying these things are mutually exclusive but I don’t understand why you would say that.

Companies deciding to raise prices (for any reason — justified or not) is what inflation is made of.

Inflation just means “prices went up.”

I spent last Spring in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec. Had a blast. Land’s End and the entire Gaspesie peninsula was beautiful. Watching the tides at Hopewell Rocks and walking on the seafloor while the tide was out was wild. Whale watching and eating scallops out of Digby was awesome. All manner of cool things in striking distance of Baddeck. PEI has… um… a surprisingly interesting potato museum. Go for it!
