that summarises my feelings. the NDP did a lot of good, but needed to hold the liberals feet to the fire more.

Great, we can expect Trump to come up to Ottawa for these discussions!

If you have a $3k GPU, definitely feels that way!

not sure what you mean.

The power supply would just provide an additional voltage, they currently provide 3.3V, 5V and 12V, they could also provide 48v too.

Definitly feels like we need to increase the voltage. Stepdown transformers are extremely efficient, and could be card side.

i expect him to be moderately different. Hes already made some changes (some of which i disagree with, such as removing the carbon tax.)

Hopefully he seeks to distinguish himself, and gets rid of FPTP.

for sure. Ideally with a Liberal/NDP minority.

I really love my Quest 3 headset, and i think the investments into VR is some of the best money that Facebook has spent… for me as a consumer.

I dont think that the metaverse is worth the electrons used to send it though.

looks really sharp! cant wait to see the finished product.

Love that your 'slapped together" is still full dovetailed

I mean, sure? Not really? Language is imprecise, and different peoples in different cultural backgrounds will use it slightly differently, and to me both read as interchangeable. I’m not an expert in this area, nor am I trans, and this is getting into the detailed weeds of gender and human sciences.

“Through transition, a transgender person aligns their gender expression, legal status, and often their physical sex characteristics (through hormones or surgery) with their internal gender identity.”

‘Female’ is a sex, while ‘woman’ is a gender.

Sex refers to biological characteristics like chromosomes, hormones, and reproductive anatomy. That’s why we say things like ‘female dog’ or ‘male cat’—we’re talking about biological sex, not identity.

Gender, on the other hand, is a social and cultural construct—it includes roles, behaviors, and identities that society associates with being a ‘woman’ or a ‘man.’ That’s why it makes sense to say ‘a woman wears makeup’ or ‘a man wears a suit,’ but not ‘a male wears makeup.’ Saying ‘a male wears makeup’ sounds off because makeup is associated with gender expression, not biological sex.

Avasarala is such a gem

I can see why you feel that, but to be honest, feel that it nailed tying everything together. Considering that it had built this massive sci-fi universe, including extra-dimensional attacks, i felt like it wrapped it all up, gave the characters meaningful resolutions, and pay off…

But then, i named my kid after my favorite space paladin.

all it needed was a $5 air filter before the compressor to fix this.

i mean, its a stainless steel enclosure, you could stand on it, but it will break if you hit it with a hammer.

yea, it was 200gb right when it came on the market, and im including tax plus shipping in that price. Even the 1tb is still $135 these days.

Was really cutting edge when i bought it.

I’m just going to start off recommending a USB stick with a proper stainless steel enclosure. I have an old version of this, which I paid nearly $150 for, and has lived on my keychain for a decade.

despite being dunked in water a dozen time and banged around daily, It still works great.

was just thinking of that. IIRC the vents for the air suspension are in the bed, so hay can be sucked in, cloging the system.

Have you ever heard of/seen the starwars Burlesque?

I’m always a sucker for answering the phone, and this one came in as “BC NDP”, not a random #
