Don’t think education has much to do with it when emotion takes over. If I had a personal experience with it I’d be out for blood too and I’m well educated.

I think politicians are getting very close to being handed a mandate from the public that doesn’t include “good” solutions but mean, punitive ones.

I agree. I don’t mind the government spending real money on it to prove it works, but 100% the advocates will never agree to forcibly incarcerating people who are unwilling or unable to participate in society at a civilized level.
So it’s doomed to fail and everyone will want to thanos -snap the problem away.
All they are is dust in the wind dude.

I’m building a new house right now and planning for a Server closet in the basement with 10g connecting between floors so I can always upgrade per-floor later on. This might be a good option.

I think everyone needs to see proof of it working and I mean visibly reducing crime and violence, not saving lives.

The cons are way right of my learning but things have gone way nanny province left and people are seeing the results of that in polling.
Needs to be far more centred for everyone but this is too far.

I’d like to see Singh and Pollive in the ring though. Singh would totally destroy that weak little weasel.

The hate for the charge port baffles me a bit though. Charging for 10 min is enough to last me a day at work, then just plug it in when I’m done to top it up.

Maybe replace him with a smarter woman on this side of the border too. The regressive repulsive conservatives would lose their collective shit.
It would be total popcorn time watching the nutbags be forced to retreat into a dark corner again.

It didn’t mean they won’t be charging it, just that they have to make it clear in their advertising.

A pro consumer law should be in place that cancelling a service should be as easy as starting a service and through the same channels.
If you sign up online in 5 clicks you should be able to cancel online in 5 clicks and without needing to go to a retention specialist.

lol. You sad little person.
No issues upgrading either my main server or my backup (both are supermicro platforms).
Just got the latest iOS 17.4 public beta from Apple, and it fixed the bug that prevented my 2020 MYP from sending text messages from the car's infotainment system. *Finally....*
Canadian here. Most of our banking is electronic in Canada and I just don’t physical currency much. I mostly stuck with using paper currency in Japan this past summer. I couldn’t find a quick and easy way to easily convert my coins back to paper yen before the flight home so used up some of my baggage weight allowance with a big sack of Japanese coins. Any tips? I don’t mind paying a percentage to do it but don’t want to count myself. If there’s a shortage of coins in Japan right now it’s because all your yen are in my luggage. Banks here used to have machines to do it with Canadian coins but with few people using coins now they all got removed. Plan B was to pour my 2kg sack-o-yen into a temple donation box and reap the good Karma for years to come.
I’ve got my mirrors set to auto fold at home due to tight parking in the garage. Wish the screen could have an option to automatically switch to camera view when they fold.
My home network is firewalled and reasonably secure (all permanent devices and IOT devices have MAC addresses tracked and registered) but I’d like to improve it even more: - Home devices (servers, printers, laptops, etc) with registered MAC addresses which can’t be accessed from my registered IOT devices or from unregistered guest devices. - QOS rules for all guest devices. Using a HEX to run the network with unifi AP hardware.
Just wondering if anyone knows which SAS connectors on the SAS826A backplane control which ports? On my current setup only ports 8-11 are working so got some troubleshooting ahead of me. The online manuals show the connectors but unhelpfullyndont indicate which ports are being used for each. Also, anyone know what the ribbon cable beside the SAS wires is used for on supermicro cables? I don’t recall seeing it on other SAS cables.
Just wondering what you do when the kids always want one parent over another? Both of my kids are _always_ about daddy (me). Even when mom spends time with them (2 and 5), they’re still asking about daddy all the time and it’s driving her crazy because they always want time with me rather than her. I absolutely adore spending time with both of them. I’ll bathe them, put one of them to bed (mom gets the other one and we alternate), I help them get dressed in the morning, drive them to school and pick them up about half the time, change diapers and everything. I’m very aware that you get 4 or 5 years with your kids then they’re not your little kids anymore and that part of all of your lives is gone forever.
Ok it’s a wish list but I’m trying to check all boxes. - slim design - card ejector mechanism - AirTag integrated without a massive unsightly bump - MagSafe connection to iPhone - brown or black leather (optional but preferred over metal) - price $120 max I haven’t found any options yet which check all boxes.
Getting my kids (2 and 5) out the door in the morning can be a challenge (you know it) so I decided to try and take something mundane and make it special. The “bumpy shortcut”. Really it’s just a back laneway to my youngest’s childcare and a slight detour for kindergarten drop off, each with a set of speed bumps. But it’s different and had a name they can latch onto. And so…. Everyone has had breakfast and got their shoes on, so we have time for the bumpy shortcut today! Or (looks like we’re not focused enough today to get out the door on time, guess we can’t take the bumpy shortcut). When I do the “shortcut” I make a game out of who gets the big bumps at speed and who gets a “little bump”. They both love it. Try and take something every day and make it special for them!
I have to work, but the family is going camping without me. Wife asks which flashlight she can borrow to take with her and the kids. I’m rocked to the core. Visions of Obi Wan just casually handing Luke a lightsaber to swing around in his house. My flashlights only range between “hotter and brighter than the sun” to “wouldn’t be out of place on a police helicopter”. Nothing in this range is remotely qualified for use by wife and kids, much less dealing with the batteries that power them. The only solution is buy more flashlights. Maybe something that also uses AA batteries (le barf).
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the aforementioned Hankook tires on their MYP (or in general for Hankook?). Still have one more season or so left on my 2020 tires but want to be ready when the time comes.
So, inspired by Bluey, I started playing a new water-based game with my son and daughter, for the past few months, who absolutely love it. Welcome to "Crocodile" (it's inspired by Australia, after all!) 1. Dad is at one end of the water with one of the child's toys sitting next to him on the edge of tub or pool. 1. Child magically turns dad into an animal (Crocodile was the first one), so dad magically turns into a very sleepy crocodile protecting his "treasure" with his eyes closed. 1. Child has to sneak past to retrieve their toy from the crocodile, who sleeps rather restlessly, and occasionally flexes/snaps it's jaws (dads arms) as noise and ripples disturb it's otherwise tranquil slumber. Of course I give them a few "scares", then let them grab the toy, to the tune of much giggling. We've also done * jellyfish (fingers floating lazily on the water), no stinging, but these jellies tickle! * hippo (snoozing with mouth under water, breathing through nose blowing bubbles) * ducky (two fingers clicking together), not super scary. * and monkey (mostly just noise). Anyway, as usual, thanks to Bluey for getting dad thinking outside the box to play with his kids even more.
So rental advocates are calling for maximum temperatures as well as minimums. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/bc-heat-wave-august-2023-rental-housing-rules-1.6935647 So by this logic if there’s a maximum permissible temperature, if I have AC installed in the rental unit it must run at whatever level is necessary 24/7 to not exceed that maximum temperature at any time, even if it adds hundreds of dollars a month to the renter’s utility bill? Nobody would want to put someone’s health at risk by letting it get too hot. Is that really what tenants want? Because I sure wouldn’t have wanted that kind of bill when I was renting, I would’ve just preferred a cheap fan I could turn on or maybe a home brew swamp cooler. Or are they just clumsily wanting landlords to supply ACs with rental units now, which will drive prices even higher even before electrical upgrades…. Not sure if they want plentiful housing, affordable housing, or nicely outfitted suites. Renters may pick 1 of the above options only.

I’d guess they’d go for about $150,000 a piece if you built blocks of them. The lower unit is probably cheaper without the rooftop access. And yes, this is the future of home ownership here, not single detached living. Got a note back from the IG creator. Rents for about $850 a month and is just north of downtown Tokyo.
So off to Japan for a month and it appears that my EDC is going to suffer as Japanese law prohibits people carrying any sort of edged tool unless they need it for their work. Kinda sucks for a country known around the world for crafting sharp blades. Apparently any sort of run-in with law enforcement pretty much guarantees a bad time if you have so much as a Swiss Army knife with you. Keeping in your hotel is fine, but walking around with it is not. Makes me a bit (lot) sad. I’ve EDCed a small Kershaw or Benchy with me for the better part of the last 5 years or so. Backup plan is going to be a flashlight or two. Those aren’t prohibited. Probably a Hank light and a tiny rechargeable I can keep in my pocket.
Got some extreme warm weather coming and I'm going to be out of town for a while. Can't trust the inlaws staying here to do anything server related. Anyone know of a plugin or script to automatically shutdown if the system temp is too high?
So I'm trying to find time to meet up with a friend of mine, and the only mutually workable time seems to be during the Obon holiday, which they described as "a nightmare" for travel. I've been to Japan a number of times and speak relatively well, however I've never happened to be there during Obon before. Is travel a total non-starter, or does it just require extra planning and booking everything well in advance? My route would be from Tokyo to Niigata, then back again on the Shinkansen.
The Lower Mainland’s last drive-in movie theatre may not be closing after all, as councillors in the Township of Langley are looking at saving the Twilight Drive-In. Mayor Eric Woodward says he met with the operators of the drive-in, and says he discovered how important it is to the local economy.
Looking for some really good instant Chai Tea mix in the lower mainland. I've been going down to Trader Joe's to get their spiced Chai powder, which I really like, but it's sort of expensive and a long way to go. Any ideas for brands and locations to pick it up that are local? Doesn't need to be super-authentic, just tasty and easy to make without extra perishable ingredients - powdered milk with sugar and spices is totally fine, just want something I can keep in my desk drawer at work instead of feeding Starbucks.
