Obviously.
This is a very real phenomenon. I work primarily for american startups and I used to drive down every month or so for strategy meetings. I have cancelled all of my trips, and will be seeking employment with a Canadian or Euro company instead. Pay cut is certain, but the peace of mind will be worth it.
What is wrong with the twenty threeth?
Now I'm gonna play video games extra hard today. Fuck you, Mike.
Also - I generate more value while taking a shit than this leech has created in his entire life.
I had mixed feelings when I picked it up. I was looking at a schecter that was flat black and brass colour, but the shipping time was estimated at 6 months, and the US>Canada shipping+duty was going to come near adding 50% to the total.
The local shop I was working with put me in touch with their luthier and after about 45 minutes on the phone he convinced me to try this one. And it blew my mind. The whole thing just feels right in my hands.
Not sure if this counts as guitar porn for others. But it sure does the trick for me.
Found it in a small town shop, never sold, only played by the luthier. Comboed it with a spark 2 amp and I am absolutely loving it.
Contrary to what my wife says - My gut is not the problem!

I have to wonder if you wiped after you pulled this completely incorrect factoid out of your ass. Cut it out.
You should not only read, but also comprehend, before insulting others.

Why do you think anybody owes you anything in a lemmy comment? This is seriously weird.
No red flags in demanding to know the companies I have called at all. Nope. You don't come off as insane here at all.
The closest I'm going to get to telling you where I live is to say that I have contacted a dozen companies in the outaouais region since May 2024. And the list of applicable models is available here --> https://www.hydroquebec.com/residential/energy-wise/financial-assistance/logisvert/archive-lists-heat-pumps.html
Fill your boots, weirdo.
And I already explained 'gathering data' was me calling an installer, asking about the model and writing down their estimate on a notepad. Then a day or a week later trying another. What more do you think someone would do in this case? Should I stand up a key:value store with an auto-scaling back-end and some APIs?
I am sincerely jealous.
Calling it data gathering is probably a bit of a stretch - It was mainly scribbled notes from calling a 'certified vendor' and asking them if they have any of the models on the list.
Invariably the price for the approved model, and installed by the approved installer, was at least 2x the price of getting a similar model installed by a local company.
We have booked a local guy at $2500 for an installed system that meets our needs. Where even after the rebate from QC the cheapest 'program applicable' solution we found would have been $5600 + travel for the installer.

So obviously I spent half an hour in a generative ai tool.
This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!
Bonus:
I'm not sure which I prefer.
Is the left wing media in the room with you right now? No? Do you know why?
Because there is no left-wing media in the US. There are varying degrees of capitalist media corps and their apologists with a smattering of actual journalists trying to get their stories out in between but mainly being drowned out.
Cut it out.
