This does depend somewhat on the city - for context Metro Vancouver isn’t amalgamated. Burnaby has been particularly guilty of this…

Could provinces do it? They are not strictly republics - they still each have a lieutenant governor, appointed by the governor general and act as the King’s representative. Passage of legislation still requires royal assent.

Like you - I predominantly use pencil. The mechanical "pencil" I always keep on me is actually an Ohto MF-20K3B multi pen - it means I can have a nice black pen as well as a good mechanical pencil.

> and an external PCI-E expander (six x16 slots just weren't enough). Out of interest - what do you use the extra slots for? At most I can think of: - NIC - GPU - NVMe - HBA - Maybe old protocols like FireWire/SCSI/GPIB

The Lenovo equivalents are nice too (M720q/M920q) and you can get cheap PCIe risers to install a single slot, low profile card.

At least for Nix you _can_ cross compile, but cross compiled and native compiled derivations are not identical - so if you go the cross compiled route you will end up building everything. Another option is to use Qemu and binfmt_misc - that

Many components from Servo (like WebRender) ended up being useful in Firefox. That alone seems like a pretty reasonable motivation to continue?

It seems to just ignore filters like “date listed” sometimes too. And people will list items at nominal prices and give the actual price in the description. Generally a poor experience.

I ended up making my own adapter based on a cheap CH32X035 dev board [0] - largely as an excuse to also write an 'RTOS' for RISC-V. The code is available on GitHub [1] though I haven't really documented it. [0] - https:&#x2F

I’ve ended up settling on an old Apple Extended Keyboard II. I’ve had several modern keyboards end up dying - failing to register some keystrokes, whilst this thing has has been working for longer than my lifetime…

I’ve had my fair share of poor UK rail experiences, especially during holiday periods. Standing on the train from London Paddington most of the way towards Exeter is never fun. In the case you couldn’t reach someone, doesn’t every platform

The _power_ draw will be similar, but a 13A 230V outlet can do 2990W, vs a 15A 110V outlet at 1650W.

Nearly two thirds of Canada's population live within the Windsor-Quebec City corridor - some 40 million people. Similarly Vancouver, BC - Portland, OR has relatively high population density. Population is not the reason for rail failin

It does amuse me somewhat that every country believes they have the worst train network, the UK is no different.

Of course - they add their own fees, though I guess there's nothing wrong with using them to find a route.

And to nit pick, it's not just the EU, for example the UK is still included post Brexit.

I spent a couple weeks travelling by train across Europe a few years ago on an Interrail pass. I found sleeper cabins were generally pretty comfortable, though you do have to pay extra for them. If you were just sleeping in a seat then yes

> I'm curious when AI generated music will displace most artist-created music on Spotify or similar platforms, and if we will even notice. It will probably cost a few dollars per track to generate. I sure hope not. I may not buy lot

Mubi has some great cinema! Definitely more of the sort of cinema you’d see at a film festival than mainstream.

It’s unfortunate. As mentioned elsewhere, the Vancouver store was one of their most profitable (overall) but the rest were not - and I guess sustaining operations in another country for one store doesn’t work out.
