Knowledge of the full cost to the people would tank their campaign, I’ll bet.

Right? That’s noble work.

And, if you’re lucky enough to have had/used/seen the Facebook Portal TV unit in action, you’ll understand the zeal I feel. Truly a wonder during covid.

Beautiful. When I ditch gLatitude, I’ll be glad for that very setting.

Nope. I assisted system test back in '04 when I was doing build/rel for Unix and ent Linux, so it’s no big deal: if you have a test plan I’ll run it too.

I just want something (baked in wine) I can never have.

Odds are 1 in 7000 mass shootings will be stopped by an individual with a gun.

So that’s about one every 6 months.

Hardly “hero” level.

Stats do not indicate how many mass shootings are started by individuals with guns, but the theory is all of them.

Albertans know they don’t get to keep the land, right? They trade their passports for bus tickets to Montana.

After Mr Cage’s “spider noir”, I remembered that he can fucking act. He was excellent.

I really enjoyed s4 with Jodie and the UFC champ: JF always is a treat and the new actor was spot-on. Reeeeally looking forward to s5 with these guys.

LLMs have no business near the kernel code or being used at all.

Cool. Let us know when your fork is packaged and I’ll test it out.

Yeah, so fuck them.

once this technology becomes mature and extremely safe this might actually be a very practical method of

…crossing the strait of Georgia in a timely fashion. It’s only like 40km but the mercenary ferry service is just unreliable and flaky.

I’ll do this every day if it gets me there today.

A federalist?!?

I suspect she’ll do whatever gets her more “retire in Cabo” money.

I call bullshit.

Yet, our mountain folk keep doin it.

Linux is his.

He gets to make the rules. We get to decide whether to bail.

I don’t understand confusion or entitlement over this.

A rare burst of nuance? Well done!

Savage, but warranted. Perfect.

I rent an apartment for way too much in a new building built and now rented by the same corp.

Notes:

• we have tenant rights and a “landlord and tenant act” to which we all must adhere, and it affirms rental increases may not exceed inflation % each year.
• it also dictates that all rental terms default to monthly after 1 year
• it mandates adjudication by magistrate on transgressions
• it sets timelines for security deposits, how the landlord must prove a case for withholding, etc

Differences between a corp and a rando landlord:

• Corp has incentive to stick to L&T as its penalties stack up on mass complaints. Randos could cry stupid/poor and skate
• Corp is usually OCD with the 24h entry notice, fire alarm/drill testing reqs in L&T. Randos, not so much.
• this corp will call out dinkweeds who spill in the elevator and don’t clean it up because those bajillion cams all work. Randos have been a little more tolerant of issues that affect renters
• rando landlords can decide to move family in and loophole-evict you. …then decide otherwise abd rent it out for higher. Corps can, must, and will document you being a bad tenant before they boot you.
• building code mandates so many smoke detectors that we have Fucking SIX of them in our place. Because it’s Corp, they’re all linked on the floor and building. So we can’t bobbitt 4 of them to save our sanity without them finding out and caring. It’s a concrete building, people, it’s not gonna burn.

I’m pleased to live under a stricter ruleset than you may, and I do claim it makes a lot of difference. Is a well-regulated property market a potential factor? Is that what you need?

(We pay the highest average rent in North America, and ours is $4/sqft/mo. Glad we are capped at inflation and can’t be reno-victed (and L&T has rules there too I think))

I don’t get why people keep saying “own nothing and be happy”

It’s sarcastic, in a “you will eat what’s on your plate and you will like it, young man,” tone from a boomer parent.

Oh! America has Columbus Day on Original Thanksgiving day. T.I.L.
