  • How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

    Jump

  • Late 1800’s is when the town was established. Lots of houses from then are still standing, but a good number of them have had additions built, so they’re not 100% original.

  • As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play extra ads when I pause a video

    Jump

  • I also HATE that if you miss the skip button on the first of multiple ads, they disable the skip button for another number of seconds.

  • I swear credit card companies make log-ins fail on purpose.

    Jump

  • Can you live without YouTube ?

    Jump

  • Yeah, you right.

  • Can you live without YouTube ?

    Jump

  • Live? Yes. Remain sane? That’s to be determined.

    Really though, I watch it for entertainment purposes 95% of the time. If YouTube were to seize to exist, I’d probably find an alternative or stick to streaming services like Twitch.

  • Why do I have to agree with USA law when installing Fedora or openSUSE ?

    Jump

  • Out of curiosity, would they be subject to these laws/protocols/regulations if they are (developers or organization) based in the US, but offer releases hosted elsewhere in the world AND/OR develop the product with code hosted elsewhere in the world?

  • How did you treat COVID-19?

    Jump

  • Just kinda let my body do its thing. I had only 2 shots of the vaccine. I luckily didn't have it as bad as others did. I just lost my sense of taste and smell, and had a runny nose.

    My friend had it rough, and it kicked his ass for a couple weeks.

  • Do you currently own/wear a Jean jacket? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • I'm a bad Canadian for not wearing a Jean jacket. Just don't like the feeling of denim... Pants included. I do recall owning a Jean jacket as a child though, so maybe I'm not so bad.

  • Cheesing it up

    Jump

  • It’s actually having to be used, since production of our sweet glory oil has been low.

  • My dog gets upset when I play Minecraft. How do I make him see that Minecraft is great.

    Jump

  • Play Minetest and see how he reacts.

  • What song, when you listened to it for the first time, made you go: "This will be stuck in my head for the rest of the week."

    Jump

  • A ton… But to name a few:

    • Take me Back to Eden - Sleep Token
    • Watch the World Burn (Live) - Falling in Reverse
    • Putrid III: Cadaver County - Jackson Rose

  • Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?

    Jump

  • My manager made a last minute trip from Toronto to Montreal because he it was cloudy. He was all geared up for taking photos, and he in fact did get some extremely cool shots.

    I'm in northern Ontario, so unfortunately I couldn't experience the full effect.

  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

    Jump

  • Software engineer. Work from home and I use the same monitors for work and personal.

    Usually for work, I have code in the middle, specs on the left and the app on the right. When I’m not using specs, I have Spotify or video related things on one monitor.

    For personal use, gaming is done on the middle monitor. Sometimes I have Spotify on the left, video on the right. Sometimes it’s a mix of discord/video/spotify on the left and right monitors. Sometimes I have a hockey game on one monitor and YouTube on the other.

    Middle is my main.

    It’s not often I don’t have something on all monitors.

  • What’s the worst car you’ve ever driven?

    Jump

  • My uncle owned an 80’s suburban. That thing was an absolute tank… and not in a good way. The steering had so much play in it, you had to turn the wheel about 45 degrees for there to be any input.

    A fedex truck actually ended up t-boning him, and the truck flipped. He was fine. Suburban wasn’t. Probably for the best.

  • What is the stupidest school rule you've ever had to deal with?

    Jump

  • Not a rule, but I got in trouble by jumping near a brick wall. The school I went to had bars on the bottom windows, and kids used to jump off the wall and hang off them. During recess, I was jumping beside the wall, and got yelled at.

    It was a catholic school. Most teachers were garbage. Except this one Australian teacher. He was awesome.

  • Would you rather live in a big city or a small town?

    Jump

  • Small town. I was born and raised in Toronto/GTA. Moved to a small town during Covid, where my dad was born and raised… Absolutely love it. I do of things I was never able to do (or did) in the city. I can do all of those things alone and without people watching (wonderful, as an introvert).

    I do occasionally travel to Toronto for work, and I absolutely despise it. First day, I want to go back home. Too much chaos. Too much traffic. Too much people. I simply don’t know what to do when I’m there and have free time.

  • This is the way

    Jump

  • Just type the number into google. If it doesn’t come up with a number from a business or you don’t recognize it, just ignore it. Most of the time I just ignore calls, and if it’s important enough, they will leave a voicemail or text me.

  • What are developers in different languages known as?

    Jump

  • I had a college professor who called it “C hash”, so I’m inclined to name them “Hashers.”

  • This is $87 worth of shopping. Please feel free to use the space below to critique my purchases

    Jump

  • For fun, I tried to find similar or same items for a local grocery store to me to see the price difference… it’s roughly $160CAD. That’s a crazy difference.

    Minus a few things on the left, cause it’s hard to tell what they are.
