Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • Even within the realm of fatality statistics on transit, about half are trespassing and suicide events (from FTA data for 2024). So the rate of homicide and violent incidents towards regular passengers is even lower than the reported statistics on the dangerousness of transit.

  • Eby Is Under Fire for Undermining the Rule of Law | The Tyee

    Jump

  • That is a fair criticism. It is also totally fair to criticize Eby's government acting like it wants to go back on the promises made in conforming to UNDRIP last term.

    You can disagree with me and be the judge of Eby's comments in my first reply, but to me it just amounts to a bit of frustrated grumbling, not setting an expectation that courts are supposed to help him enact his agenda like Smith/Ford. If only conservatives are given licence to speak their mind at all on a court case, then that's why conservatives get the airtime. As an example to back up this point, look at what happened with the whole ostrich debacle where the CFIA kept quiet. A whole international hubbub erupted over what was supposed to be a routine measure to protect against the spread of bird flu.

  • Eby Is Under Fire for Undermining the Rule of Law | The Tyee

    Jump

  • “While the Premier is entitled to disagree with a court ruling — and to appeal it — he is not entitled to use his platform to attack judges who cannot respond publicly.”

    I think Eby can express his government's position of disagreement and a reasonable amount of frustration on the ruling.

    Eby's comments at the BC CoC:

    "To face such dramatic, overreaching and unhelpful court decisions as we have seen over the last couple of months, is deeply troubling... It’s hard to understate the damage that could be done or has already been done to public support for the delicate, critical and necessary work we have to do with First Nations... British Columbians, not judges, have to decide our path forward. There are no judicial shortcuts to this work."

    In contrast with Doug Ford's "bleeding heart liberal judges" comment, and the Smith government's overt legislative contempt for the work the court does, Eby is just coming to terms with the difficult but necessary job of reconciliation in front of his government.

  • Got my first printer, what else do I need? Any tips on setup?

    Jump

  • What's your goal, to take random designs other people made and print them, or to make your own stuff for fun or for some practical purpose?

    The first original thing I'd made was a box to hold double-A batteries.

    The slicer converts models into code to suit your printer. I use CURA for that.

    Just ensure that you have your bed and extruder temps set right, and you pick an infill setting you like (I go 15-20% and Cubic). Make sure to preview the model and ensure that any significant overhang is supported. The bed on your machine autolevels but for anyone else, level your bed before starting your first print.

    Only other software you need is 3d modeling software to make your own models. I've used Blender and FreeCAD but more expensive professional tools will work too.

  • Does each country have a book/library of the laws of the land that a commoner can consult to check if they're about to do something illegal?

    Jump

  • So generally the national laws are well documented as to what's a crime and what's not. Often there's a website.

    Civil vs. Common law jurisdiction matters a fair bit. (As a gross simplification), in a civil law country that text is supposed to be the be-all end-all, judges are supposed to interpret cases based on whether the text of the law was followed or not and use their own discretion on whether past decisions should influence an active case. In common law jurisdictions, precedence from past cases matter a lot, and those decisions are cited by lawyers to say why it should be the same judgment or reasons why this case is different than previous to judge differently.

    Then you have sub-national (state, province, prefecture) laws. Those will be well defined but their free availability from an official source online may vary.

    Local by-laws will also depend on the location, they have less money so it may not be readily available digitally.

    Some governments delegate rulemaking in specific areas, industries or fields to an internal ministry/department, to a professional body (engineers, doctors, lawyers etc.), or an organization (HOA, non profits). They are usually authorized by the law to set, modify, and enforce rules in that specialized area, with a maximum penalty they are permitted to give out for infractions.

    So there's no book of all rules everywhere that can be searched that apply to a specific area.
