I remembered seeing this year’s ago and I just remembered it. They made a show about an Australian Wizard: https://youtu.be/yv3DedNXN4o

The government subsidizes corn, so there’s an incentive to use that corn. There are tariffs on imported sugar so it’s cheaper to use HFCS

That is assuming he doesn’t declare himself king, and there is still a vote.

My guess is you don’t have a diesel vehicle or heat with furnace oil because let me tell you, what I get back doesn’t even come close to how much I’m spending. It’s a joke, now think of all the farmers, transport companies, they’re getting a fraction of what they’re spending on fuel , and all of that gets passed down the line. There’s a reason the Maritimes got a break on the carbon tax, it’s made heating with oil very expensive. And Diesel is taxed higher than that.

If you don’t think the cost of goods went up when it cost more to produce the food, and ship the food…

Skippy will axe the carbon tax which honestly will make people like him enough to ignore some of the… other things he will do. That will lower prices of everything, maybe not to the levels of the beforetime because corpos won’t let that free profit disappear but it will make life easier for many.

I have been a Liberal since I was 12 years old. I have never voted conservative in 30 years of federal elections. But with Trudeau refusing to step down I have no choice but to vote conservative. The backbenchers know they’re not going to get re-elected with him in charge and that’s why most of them have been relegated to the back benches. He’s surrounded himself with sycophant MPs, and is delusional enough to think the majority of the country is happy with him.

I’m willing to let Skippy axe the carbon tax and hopefully make living in this country affordable again. Ontario generally elects a provincial party that is in opposition, provincial liberals will get in and reintroduce cap & trade which will save us when the next liberal government is elected and tries to save the world again.

For the most part everything works together, buying non Deere implements and using them with Deere tractors is common. John Deere is a status symbol. Deere also does technology better IMO, that being said I really have no idea what auto-steer tech Case utilizes, they have to have something because no modern farmer is paying attention to their rows that much.

But slowly, I filled my home server with whatever CUDA capable cards I have and it’s fine for SD, but I found llama way too slow. I rented a dual A2000 instance for a couple weeks and it was bearable, but still not great.

Looks like ChatGPT trained their models better, probably before sites could take measures to prevent that. Gemini however was thrown together by throwing money and people at the problem in order to catch up and not be left behind. Which from what I’ve read seems to be their biggest fear.

My Pixel 9 has AI everywhere but I certainly wouldn’t pay the price they want to continue “using” Gemini after my trial.

There are both private trackers and indexers specifically for audiobooks. Find them. The biggest tracker for it has an application process, read the rules and you’ll get an invite. Usenet… I can’t even remember how I got an invite

Someone important watched the latest episode of last week tonight. As someone with no iron in the fire, I’m glad there are still responsible adults running things from the background

It makes so much sense, ever since reading it I can’t see the biblical story any other way.

Every time I open Amazon it tries to get me to watch whatever drivel they’ve made lately, Fallout and Bosch are the only things I’ve watched in years from Prime Video, and downloaded them both from the high seas. I dunno what Freevee is, but I’m not watching anything on it.

God yes, you can clearly see from the background scene that while at different tables they can clearly see each other. All this bickering is madness

Wasp nest in wall, specialist comes out, sucks them all out, sprays commercial insecticide into wall cavity. Wasps that were out of nest at the time come back and get confused and piss off, couple days later they’re back and have found new unbefore seen holes to fly into, specialist tells me to buy trap and fill with meat. Buy canned ham and dump in trap. All wasps that came back are now in trap. Thanks Ham.

There was a linux version but it seems to have gone poof. For Windows users there’s : https://yt-bat.github.io/

I’ve had many deathstars fail.

Old sysadmin trick I was taught was to freeze the drives overnight, have used this trick on multiple occasions, but once the drive heats back up it’s really dead. But you’ve generally got ample time to backup the drive before it dies.

I have a friend in Portugal who uses semaglutide that’s compounded by a local pharmacy for about 35euros a month. I, in Canada still pay $230/month for Ozempic. For $120/month I could take a 2.5mg dose similar to Wegovy which in Canada right now is $400ish

Its the same drug, just no prefilled pen. All these pharmacies that offer it in Europe aren’t accessible from North America without a vpn, and then once accessible refuse to ship to Canada.

I’m very sorry about this. But every time I read “jorkin depeanus” a picture of the Swedish chef pops into my head

Ah my last reinstall was because of important news I didn’t read.
