I would rather walk for six months than spend 5 hours squished into modern aircraft.

Not only would I be far more comfortable, I would have life experiences other than dealing with people I would rather be as far away from as possible, and I would be in better shape, and would likely make friends along the way.

Obviously, but Spicygay saying “Receive Christ” seems like a human oxymoron.

I work in computers, remotely. So 8.5 hours minimum every day. Then I have to use a phone to communicate, so an additional 2 hours or so on that… And then some tv or games to chill. Yeah 13 hours a day seems about right… Yuck.

Fun fact, as someone who suffers from FODMAP related IBS… Almost very “green” item in this list triggers FODMAP reactions, and about half of the red ones are on the safe to eat category.

TL;DR - damned if I do, damned if I dont.

Im… Getting there. For now I built my own cloud at home… But browsers themselves are becoming a problem.

You’re mixing the Signal Foundation up with the original creator of Signal who has stepped down and is no longer involved… And is off…

Building fucking AI bots apparently? Thank goodness he’s not involved with Signal anymore.

Im guessing this is state abbreviations…

Same!

What is this, the prequel to Chrysalids?

Canada is in this boat too.

This is exactly my problem with BCs stupid laws. Kids can’t be without their parents until 11.

ELEVEN!

Christ. How do they ever learn independence when they spend all of the most crucial years of their development forcibly tied to the parents hip?

I was allowed to go to the corner store at five. By ten I was completely independent and mowing lawns as an afterschool job.

Cuatro ~= Leches

Cuatro != Quatro

This particular studio is responsible for some of their best titles.

In Canada, the only province that historically has a rate that high is Ontario, and that is because they use Nuclear power, which is more expensive to maintain, and also they have no protection laws for consumers. So residents of Ontario pay what the US companies are willing to pay for power.

The neighbouring province, Quebec, uses primarily Hydro Electric dams, and has protection laws that restrict pricing for hydro power for residents of Quebec to a reasonable margin above cost, regardless of what the US is willing to pay for the power.

When I lived in Ontario, the price was $24c/kwh, while Quebec was $8/kwh

Ontario has had new laws passed with the energy board and now it appears their price is down to $14c/kwh according to this site, but I’m willing to bet that is highly dependent on surge pricing. Getting straight answer on costs is difficult these days with all the tiered pricing.

Apparently Alberta is more expensive than Ontario now… Must be all that “freedom” they have… Did they privatise electric in addition to everything else there? I’m not familiar with how their grid is powered… Maybe its oil/coal based. Which would be unsurprising.

Was super interested right up until the AI recommendations bit.

Cyberattack is a funny name for Trump Tariffs

Every banana in existence is in this picture.

This, the power is needed to maintain the subspace bubble, being thrown from said bubble from losing power has been shown to be dangerous. Maybe you just drop out of warp, maybe you drop out too close to something and have no control.

Fireplaces have a flue. If you close it the smoke has no where to go but the house.

The whole idea still smacks of dumbfuckery, don’t get me wrong; but its not as much of a lost cause as you’re thinking.
