yea,

I work in engineering, and pretty much every estimate we do isn't large enough. Ever project tenders high.

In 2002, Campbell’s Liberal government forecast operational spending of $25.6 billion. Horgan’s first budget forecast spending of $53.6 billion

Wait, the operational budget has increased in 20 years? say its not so! $25.6B in 2002 money is equivalent to $44.71B in 2024 money, so the increase is only $8.9B. Thats crazy good! Cudo's to the NDP

Even with what you said, that doesn't change the fact that if OTHER people are taking transit, it still benefits the people who aren't taking transit, which is what my comment was addressing.

if 10% of people took transit instead of driving, then there would be 10% fewer people on the road, 10% fewer cars in parking lots, 10% less maintenance... all of which benefits you.

If public transit was more powerful, there would be less traffic on the road (which is good for drivers), less road maintenance needed (which is good for drivers) more parking available (which is good for drivers)...

I mean, it doesn't surprise me.

My GFil found out he had stage 4 throat cancer, by that point he was completely unable to eat or drink, and was in his 90s. He requested MAID, which likely saved him a couple weeks to a month of suffering

His pregnant granddaughter held his hand as he left this world.

This would be chalked as a MAID death, even if it only saved him a couple weeks of suffering.

i love the "i didnt post anything offensive, i just said that "Israel are nazis"" claim.

Like, I'm no Israel sympathizer, and think they are genociding the Palastinian people, but that claim is so deep rooted in antisemitism its idiotic

band is not famous, so a little hint that its a steampunk band.

 

Really pissed off that we are fighting inflation, skimpflation and shrinkflation all at the same time.

Buying chocolate granola bars, only to realize after they only "chocolaty" instead really pissed me off!

 

heyo,

im trying to remember the name of a short story i read about three years ago online.

A girl was sent by her bible thumping parents in to an... AI controlled prison. the AI explains how this is permanent, but they are studying humans.

Its explained how the coffin sized room can simulate any situation, and over time she realizes that she can request drones be sent to real planets, and these drones can have humans forms. Each "prison cell" is either 1 cubic km, or 10 cubic km of support infrastructure to allow them to deliver the perfect VR experience.

Managed to refine my search terms a bit, and by using "AI prison" instead of "vr prison" found it!

Yea... buying a $35 "early access" title, to have a large amount of the content locked behind a pay wall... that kills any interest in the game for me.

""Assuming you play only regular matches and not solo (2 points per extract), and each round takes you 10 minutes to extract, and you NEVER DIE, it would take you ~30 hours to get 5 shards," sp00kyemperor calculated in a separate thread. "So if you're a god tier player that extracts every single time, it will still take you 30 hours to unlock one class.""

 

Anyone find the their e-reader struggles with the Secret Projects?

The epubs have these massive, beautiful drawings which my (1 year old) e-reader struggles with every time i reach the end of the chapter, and then because they are so large they are overly zoomed in.

i'm tempted to run them through something like Libre to see if i can compress the images down to something my ereader can handle.

 

Just ran into this. Its kinda scary with how good it sounds, its clearly Linus, with a new york accent.

 

The fact that this has been replicated is amazing!

 

My garage has an AC, which is never used (its so wasteful to heat and cool the room! prefer just to put on a fan) Thinking that if i install a unit like this, i can break this in to two separate 20 amps circuits for outlets, or use the AC if i feel the need. https://www.amazon.ca/Baomain-Universal.../dp/B08HWM7CMR/

Anyone do something similar?

 

Hey guys!

My friend just finished this mural for our nursery, heavily inspired by the "Merry in Heaven" peice by zzyzzyy. Figured it was too good not to share!
