need to add a large tax to these services, and then use that to fund municipal (not private) internet expansion.

Trudeau says Trump's 'dumb' trade war is designed to collapse the Canadian economy in c/canada

You are a traitor, for encouraging further death and war.

Economic warfare is warfare, just not with guns.

Updated: Trump tariffs, Canadian counter tariffs now in effect as deadline passes in c/canada

Thats fair, Starlink is kind of irreplaceable for remote communities.

Ideally, we would tarriff starlink, and then use those and matching funds to build out municipal internet to these communities.

yea, Tariffs suck for everyone, especially when applied unilaterally... however its the best weapon we have, a tit for tat.

I hope to see some SHARP tariffs, 100% of starlink and Teslas.

Another earthquake just now? Looking for sources in c/vancouver
[–] CanadianCorhen 3 points 2 days ago

Felt really similar, to be honest, despite being smaller and farther away. Could have been because I was woken up by it, or just the geology 'focusing' it on my house. Talked to a couple other people here who didn't notice it at all.

They would look cool in a limited run, but as a serious launch they look silly

No, I agree with you...

The right place to do this is to a Tesla dealership

shrinkflation vs skimpflation, which do you hate more (self.shrinkflation)
 

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!

Trying to remember short story: Girl kidnapped by religious parents, stuck in VR coffin (self.sciencefiction)

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!

In the face of player backlash, Dark and Darker developers say they may stop selling character classes (www.pcgamer.com)

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 (self.cosmere)
 

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.

Selectible outlets retrofit into a garage (self.woodworking)
 

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?
