There was basically no opposition, that’s how. People were sick of the Liberals and their new leader was hide-and-seek champ, and nobody really takes the NDP seriously in Ontario.

This makes no fucking sense - They just finished putting these bike lanes in on big stretches of Bloor and University. These streets are always under construction, it makes no sense to just undo years of work. Did people not drive here before the bike lanes? Cyclists are still going to use these streets and be veering into traffic, blocking that supposed second lane. The second was always blocked with parked cars on Bloor anyways. The bike lane made driving easier and cycling way safer. It was win-win.

The result is going to be driving is going to be way worse on these streets and cyclists are going to die because of this decision. It’s also hugely regressive. You should not be driving across Bloor or down Yonge or University to traverse these streets, because there’s literally subways under all of three of them.

It’s just such piss poor management. The more decisions I see Doug Ford make, the more I see the image of that stupid fucking Ferris wheel Rob Ford wanted to put on our waterfront. Dumb ideas run in the family, apparently.

edit: we have to elect smarter people who aren’t going to play these stupid culture wars games and waste our own money doing it. Doug Ford’s strategy here is to set up a fight with Olivia Chow in preparation for an early election next year, because he knows the “surburbs vs. Toronto elites” narrative plays well with his base. It remains to be seen if the city can/will meaningfully fight back against this or if our mayor is just going to give us lip service, because she still benefits from this conflict by being on the other side politically.

News at 11 - next month is November, and you won’t believe what happens after that! Stay tuned for more.

(ChatGPT probably wrote this article)

This is such good politics and such bad governance.

That’s the bare minimum requirements needed to live in Toronto as a human, lol

It’s never described like this, but I think this move opens the door for the province to tighten the screws on cigarette sales, potentially opening the door for a cigarette ban now. The alcohol sales are a lifeline for convenience stores for when they lose cigarettes.

The only way I can describe the Titanfall 2 campaign is it’s the giant robot game you always wanted subconsciously. It’s just great, perfect length.

The online favourite in Zandronum (multiplayer ZDoom) was Alien Vendetta, an awesome Doom2 campaign WAD. (av.wad or av20.wad) It’s just super solid with lots of variety and good pacing. Made by a bunch of different mappers.

I could be wrong here, but I think the common interpretation here is wrong. The risk is not that the wires overheat and cause a fire. The risk is that the card draws too much current from a single 12V power rail on your PSU, sustained for a long time, and that burns out the power rail on your PSU.

I have a 6950 XT that I used with a 850W PSU that was connected incorrectly according to the diagram, with multiple connectors coming off a single rail. After about 6 months, one day my SSD stopped working, and after some tinkering, I realized that if I plugged it into a different 12V connector, it started working! I had burned out one of the 12V rails on my power supply, and I strongly suspect it was my incorrect wiring into my 6950 XT that caused it. (edit: I got a new PSU and never looked back)

Ford, Stellantis, GM, Honda, Toyota: source (click “Made in Canada”). Both countries assemble many cars where parts are made in the US/Canada/Mexico (see: NAFTA/CUSMA aka USMCA)

edit: also for context, auto manufacturing is a big political football here in Ontario, with politicians always announcing funding and looking for photo ops around it because they’re big employers in manufacturing

Come to Toronto lol

Same thing happens when you put on spandex apparently

This has nothing to do with protecting Canadians and everything to do with protecting big business

I think what no politician wants to admit is that car industry is a strategically important industry and has to be protected for geopolitical reasons alone. We need the manufacturing capability to maintain our industrial base as a hedge against any future conflict. (I lump it in with why you need domestic milk and food production, vaccine production, etc. When the going gets tough, you need that.)

That said, I do feel the bailouts from 2009/2010 were total horseshit and these companies got off scot-free. They’ve had ages to prepare to make EVs and squandered it, and now have to be protected by moves like this. We just end up paying for it, either through subsidies (eg. battery plants) or through the inflated prices of EVs.

What a fantastic video, good explainer.

This looks like absolute garbage from the trailer, lol. The most bland art style, characters without character, terrible CGI in the trailer with bad animation and lack of effects… why even put this out? Gotta show the investors you’re doing something?

If this is how bad the CGI trailer is, I can’t imagine what the real game is going to be like…

I’m a huge Doom (1/2/3/2016) fan but I’m not sure how I feel about this. Eternal just seemed like more or the same so I never even bothered playing it. The Dark Ages is starting to feel a little too Anime and just outside the whole space-based Doom universe. This just doesn’t seem like Doom to me and the gameplay looks like more of the same basically from the trailer.

I don’t want to dox myself so I’d rather not say, but it was some time ago and I’m no longer leading that project. I do still do development in the same field though!

Your post couldn’t be more true. Decades ago I was sold on MythTV, this PVR software but it only ran on Linux and you had to compile it yourself. So I gave Linux and MythTV a shot. As it turned out, both MythTV and early desktop Linux were a buggy, frustrating mess. X broke all the time. Incomprehensible, ungoogleable compile errors all the time.

I spent so much time troubleshooting MythTV and compilation problems that I ended up learning Linux inside and out and the C programming language to be able understand the compile errors. I went on to lead a major open source project and have had a long career as a programmer, using all the knowledge I gained that started with fighting MythTV.

It’s a misnomer for sure, but that’s why it’s a funny label.

How can it cost 3x as much as an F-35?

Here’s what the official government news releases say:

$19 billion for 88 F-35s = $216 million each - source

$2.5 billion for 11 Reapers = $227 million each source

… so I don’t think you’re right.

Edit: This CBC article quotes an unnamed “senior defence official” as saying the first four F-35s we purchased cost $85 million per plane, whereas the numbers quoted in the press releases above are the all-in costs including all the “sustainment set-up and services” such as ground control centers, training, etc. So without being an expert on this stuff, I do think the numbers in the press releases are a better apples-to-apples comparison.

Edit 2: but yeah, your point still stands… Is a Reaper worth as much as an F-35? Beats me…
