Well, except the ones we just drove over cliffs with fire by the hundreds so we could harvest the good bits

I’m farther north than 99% of humanity and we still have carpenter ants that get into woodpiles.

Just get a rib steak and not have a stupid bone to deal with at twice the price.

I just imagine the dumbest thing someone can do in a situation and model for that.

Icy roads? Well, the logical thing to do is make sudden moves at the last possible second without leaving a buffer. Stand on the throttle at every intersection, and start braking when you normally would in the middle of summer, of course.

Honestly, you learn to predict unpredictability. Slight movements will tell you when someone is going to change lanes without a shoulder check or cross three lanes of traffic to make an exit that they could just have easily gone on to the next interchange without endangering themselves and others. Hell, I watch peoples eyes in their side mirrors look at me as they incorrectly judge how much space they have to insert themselves in front of me, when there’s a kilometer of space behind me they could use instead.

I wouldn’t replace existing, non-leaking copper. It should be fine for a long, long time. But I wouldn’t spend a lot of time trying to stay in copper for new stuff. Use a copper-to-pex sweat fitting where you need new stuff, and go pex from there. The supposed benefits of copper (which I don’t really buy) aren’t worth the hassle of dealing with copper fittings and the extra work for routing.

Check out Qidi Ticks a few of the boxes and cheaper than Bambu

It goes from the refineries in Edmonton to where ever it’s going. Even if you had a refinery onsite, you need to get the crude to another province either by truck, train or pipeline. Moving it thousands of km isn’t free, despite whatever passes for your economic knowledge. That’s why gas is almost $4/L in New Zealand, to use an obvious outlier to illustrate the point.

Yes, BC has higher fuel taxes. But your supposition was that “If gas taxes have no impact, the price of gas would be the same in BC and Alberta.” Which is utter and complete nonsense.

What kind of logic is that? Shipping doesn’t exist?

I was. Livesuit wasn’t long. Maybe that should have just been an interstitial novella? I see it listed on the wikipedia page as a “novella” not a full-blown book.

Hey, I just read the first two novels in that series. I should have waited until the third one was out because now I’m sad that I have to wait.

That’s probably what happens when you mix whiskey and cocaine.

To be fair, my dog would fucking love that.

The Global Society Of Flat Earthers

I don’t think Lemmy gets satire very well. But even I’m surprised how many whooshes are going on in here.

Actually, it isn’t even most of them. I live in rural AB, there’s a lot of anger over the separatists shitting on the legacy of our grandparents that fought and died for Canada.

An abstraction layer that reverse-engineers the Windows GPU and kernel syscalls and runs on a completely different operating system does better than the native platform after a decade or so of volunteer labor, and a few years of a couple paid devs.

How embarassed would you be if this happened to something you spent 40 years building?

Forgejo is fine. Don’t expose it to the internet unless you have to, or mirror your repos to Codeberg and let them worry about it.

If he were Prime Minister right now, we’d be so far up Trump’s ass we’d be attacking Ukraine and be the boots on ground in Iran.

I have no clue why the CPC party renewed their support for this dribble that lost them the last election that every poll said they had a 20 point lead going into, and had to be re-run in a stronghold riding to keep his leadership afterwards.

Then his “leadership” drives enough of the remaining MPs they retained over to the Liberals to give them a clear majority. In any reasonable party, he wouldn’t be holding a mop in the party headquarters afterwards.

His incompetence was the best thing that happened to Canada going into the lunacy of the present US administration. We’d have been so thoroughly fucked if he were in power, I shudder to think about it.

Luckily I created mine as projects so I don’t have to worry about it writing a bunch of shit into my actual projects folder, or having to fix the xdg setting to disable it.
