  • [Episode] "Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omou na" to Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou Sareta node, Outo de Kimama ni Kurashitai - Episode 10 discussion

    Jump

  • Still, they could have come up with something better than that (although I suppose that if it's a carryover from the light novels, they might be stuck with it).

  • Yeah, I felt Flum was kind of out of character in this episode. She's been established as often being too trusting, but not generally stupid, and the whole towel incident was a what-the-actual-fuck moment. It's just so stunningly obvious that that should not have been her first priority (an entire change of clothes, maybe, if the ambient temperature was so low Milkit would have been at short-term risk of hypothermia, but not a single dumbass towel).

  • Ontario to end funding to multiple drug consumption sites, forcing them to close

    Jump

  • These are not exactly the first ones that have been defunded or forced to close. Ford and his government just hate the concept, no matter how much the science backs it up. (I leave open the possibility that they hate it because the science backs it up.)

  • Amid an energy crisis, the world is drawing on its oil reserves. Why doesn't Canada have any?

    Jump

  • We have a lot of crude oil, but not enough refineries to handle our complete yearly production. So some of it inevitably gets exported (25%? I forget.)

    There's also the fact that not all oil is created equal. Crude oil from the Alberta tar sands is heavy and sulfurous and contaminated with heavy metals. Some products are much more easily made from imported light oil, or from a mixture of types.

  • Hisense TVs force owners to watch intrusive ads when switching inputs, visiting the home screen, or even changing channels — practice infuriates consumers, brand denies wrongdoing

    Jump

  • Why do I still have a 32" TV? Because that's the largest size that's still readily available as an ordinary, cheap, flat dumb panel with a tuner. (Well, that and I don't especially need a larger one.)

  • It has a valid, current Let's Encrypt cert for the correct domain. Maybe you've blocked TLS 1.2? TLS 1.3 is the most current standard, but 1.2 has never been deprecated officially and should be sufficient for a site where no money or personally identifiable information is changing hands.

  • Canada's most recent cancer report

    Jump

  • In addition to the sampling issues others have mentioned, there may be some environmental issues contributing to the stats—some areas likely have higher levels of radon in the soil, and thus higher levels of radon gas exposure, for instance.

  • Betcha the wings'll taste good if basted with the right sauce.

  • St. Boniface Hospital doctors worry long wait times being normalized as ER might have set record

    Jump

  • At least the department was open. There are some hospitals in Ontario that have to close theirs a couple of times a month because they can't scrounge up even one doctor to cover a shift.

  • Teen boys are using ChatGPT as their wingman. What could go wrong? AI is teaching teenagers about love now.

    Jump

  • Is it terrible that I'd like to see an LLM trained exclusively on translated shoujo manga trying to give teen boys advice about this?

  • BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

    Jump

  • Yes, there are parts of Canada that remote that still have roads. I grew up in one of them. Let's posit an urgent but not-likely-to-be-fatal medical emergency, like the torn and detached retina I had a few years ago. That required an urgent trip to a major city in particularly foul winter weather. Nearest major city to where I grew up was 800+km, and there are other towns further out than that one. Add to that battery loss in the cold, plus loss of battery capacity over time if you've had the car for a while, plus the vehicle having maybe already been driven that day without time to recharge completely . . . I can think of places up in that neck of the woods where I would be seriously worried that 1000km of rated range wouldn't be enough, although it would be more than sufficient for where I'm now living.

    So I'm talking about shit that, in my experience, actually happens to actual people. The segment of the population involved is, admittedly, not all that large, but it's of nonzero size—probably on the order of a few million, worldwide, spread through a number of countries that have large areas of empty nothing.

  • BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

    Jump

  • 1000km range is fucking stupid. No one should be driving that far at once

    I take it you've never had an emergency while living in a remote area. Especially not one with cold winters that will tank your EV's range.

  • How do you start your cut square? Bench hook worked well with no miter box.

    Jump

  • I 3D-printed myself a magnet-equipped guide based on some posting on Instructables that I can no longer find. It has a provision for swapping out fences so that it can be oriented reliably at angles other than 90⁰. On the downside, it has to be clamped to the wood and is too small to work well on sheet goods.

  • B.C. to end time changes, adopt year-round daylight time

    Jump

  • That's caused (at least in part) by assigning timezones according to politics rather than longitude. Some places have gotten really skewed.

    Anyway, most of us just want the government to pick one thing and stick with it. We don't care whether they pick DST, ST, or create a new half-hour timezone to split the difference so long as the changing back and forth stops.

  • Trump Is Spoiling for a Fight over Canadian Potash

    Let's be honest here: he'll take any excuse, and if he can't find one, he'll manufacture it.

    And really, Belarus doesn't produce enough potash to cover that 12 million tons even if they sent their entire production to the US.

  • [Discussion] What is your best BL anime?

    Jump

  • I have an enduring soft spot for Antique Bakery, although more the manga than the anime. (Isekai Office Worker is probably better, though.)

  • Firefox’s AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem

    Jump

  • If most people don't want it enough to opt in, then it belongs in an extension, not the base browser. Then it's still there for the ones who actually do want it, but won't bother anyone else.

  • Pretty much, or any other fork that didn't add this garbage in the first place.
