Hello thanks for visiting my profile.
For any picture posts I make with the [OC] tag, I provide a license for you to use my photo under the terms of CC-BY-SA-4.0. You may DM me for questions.
I make mistakes because my replies are often my stream-of-consciousness, and the primary review is mainly to make sure I even want to reply to the comment at all. I don’t use autocorrect so my fingers slip frequently.
If you look through my comment history, a good chunk are edited because I catch more grammatical errors in my comment after I post. I suppose most others don’t bother.
The question they are answering is the first one they read.

Who knows, they might be weighing their options and might shift the delivery hub to BC which would take time, delaying pre-order operations. It might be worth for some hoser to tie a bow on the box for Nintendo and send it to the US for lower tariffs.
“Tariffs are a Trump tax” was a core message of the Harris campaign… (Trump really was planning to tariff the entire world 10% since last August!) The last months of the campaign befoee election day are a blur to me, but did Harris really drop that line after the debate? I really doubt it.
From Canada: I get legit calls from private numbers. Usually it is based on something I have inquired previously about, by phone, text message, webform or email.
Random non-scam cold calls have been largely: surveys (a federal election is coming), requests to donate places from places I’ve donated to before, telecom companies I have ditched begging me to come back. But anything that begins with an automated sounding message I just hang up immediately.
Only PATH, NJ Transit and Amtrak service tracks between New Jersey and Manhattan.

Senators (in the US) are elected representatives of their state. Sen. Booker, through his 25 hour speech, brought his constituents’ message to the forefront, criticized the Senate, Democrats’ and his own failures to act. He got millions of people to look at Senate business as if he was a professional streamer which is usually boring stuff. The speech is Booker’s answer to “what can I do at this moment to make a difference?”, which hopefully will get others to ask the same of themselves.
It’s impossible to measure the true impact of the speech afterward, but it’s intended to inspire people to take action, resist the Trump monarchy, and cause “good trouble” where they can. Who knows whether this has had any influence on the Wisconsin Supreme Court which was a humiliation to Musk, or if it had any influence on the 4 Republican Senators joining Democrats to pass a resolution nullifying the false emergency against Canada?
Are you going to retire in the next four years? Or take all your cash out into gold, quit your job, and go into hiding for the next four years?
If neither apply to you, you can leave your money in your 401k. Selling index funds right now is ultimately up to you, but in the long term time in the market tends to beat timing the market.
What I’ve read in books is: Building up savings itself is more important than whether the returns are +10% or -10%, early in your career, since it will fluctuate but tends to average up.
And remember if your national index funds, bonds or whatever market and government backed investments lose half its value, you have bigger problems on your hand of the state of your country at that point which having cash on hand may or may not help anyway.
The soldiers are proudly liberating Russian citizens… from their possessions.
Note that the problem states that the outer shape is a quarter circle, information not provided in OP’s question.
Knowing it is a quarter circle is important because it allows us to validate that the bottom-right angle is 90 degrees.
Catching real criminals is hard. Pretending innocent people are criminals is easy.
Canada’s building codes since around 2014 require the green man pictoral exit sign.
Old buildings have EXIT or SORTIE signs in red. Some renovated buildings have a mix of both.
If you want to read the story of someone’s experience trying to block all the big tech companies from their life back in 2019. Their first week was trying to block Amazon.
Edit: A big challenge would be if you wanted to avoid connecting to sites that run off of or have content served by AmazonWebServices. To do that for example, you’d have to click these archive links for Gizmodo instead of the direct links I did above.
Bud, it’s about teaching Americans about solidarity, because anti-unionism propaganda over 70 years has beat it ojt of them. This one day of not buying stuff, is like Day 1 lesson of Solidarity Kindergarten. You have to start somewhere.
Yeah. Street design, separation where possible and equalizing speeds where not, is super important. I have had numerous instances of almost being doored, patiently waiting for selfish assholes who I can tell from a distance are trying to speed through a stop sign, cars mistakenly entering the separated bike lane, so on and so forth. No crashes yet (I have fallen over on dirt paths) in 2 years and 2000km of bicycle commuting, but I try to take every precaution I can.
It’s probably why the reputation in cities with very little bike infrastructure, is that only people crazy enough to take a bicycle on the road do so, because the roads are designed so hazardously for them.
Trucks have their purpose, but the point is that too many people have cars and trucks that go on trips that could otherwise be done by bicycle, walking or transit.
Here in Vancouver, I see a bunch of parents bringing their kids to school on the back of their bike, then head right to work. I even shop at Costco with big bags strapped to my bike.
For the odd time I want to road trip, bring a bunch of buddies somewhere transit doesn’t go, or need a cargo van to move furniture or things, I’m part of modo coop where I can rent one for a few hours, a day or many days.
Trucks have their place. I have a lot of respect for landscapers and contractors, you can tell who is using their pickup truck for its purpose by the amount of dirt, no lift kit, and the stuff in the back. Not everyone in the city and suburbs needs one every day.
This is assuming you are expected by your council to clean it “thoroughly enough”.
After you eat/drink the contents, a very quick rinse is all that’s needed. Little stains aren’t going to be bad for recycling.
If you’ve left it for a while and are worried, a simple but surefire way to clean out any significant gunk would be these steps:
