That's why I know it's low ;) In fact, after picking up some G12, I can even refill it myself! But why is it low? Is it because the seals in the cap are getting old and slightly out gassing? Or is it because I have a hairline crac

Is it bad though? One giant loop and conditional forward jumps is not that bad for control systems. I think Cormack had a take similar to that.

"There are very few PHEVs that aren't using the same automatic gearbox as the plain-ole ICE model." Except the most popular hybrid, the prius, which admittedly does t have a non/hybrid counterpart because it was done fro

I wish my cars were merely boring. One car (KIA) has electrical problems, probably the CAN bus. Parking shifter has to be overridden with a screwdriver to shift, the ABS sensor is on, and the cruise control doesn't disengage when I pre

binding arbitration - in principal it is a good thing. People settle their differences in private without involving the public. And between two well matched opponents it works well. The problem is that I cant buy a car without being forced

Regulatory agencies can lower the burden the same way criminal courts do - offering plea deals. That said, Id love nothing more than incarcerate half of Wall Street; but it must be done within the law.

When I got my two "speeding tickets" in 25 years of driving what the officer really gave me was a summons to go to court. Or I could choose to plead guilty and pay the fine. Both time I was always dealing with the courts. After th

The group is small enough, ie intimate, to not do zoom. Just bring it up. Or turn the camera off. I dont get why people confrence with the camera on. Its usually a distraction and is fraught with dangers. If you're not talking your mic

Zoom fatigue is not a real thing. At least not for most people enduring normal, useless calls. For us, the zoom calls means that we do productive work while keeping an ear out for topics where we are needed. Sure some, like my wife, have to

Before COVID most of my meetings were video confrence. The difference being that I had to be in a stuffy room with a half dozen other people adding their own particular je ne sais quois to the smell.

With bad ventilation and no windows. The conference room where I used to work was unbearable with just two persons after 10 minutes. Every other Friday we had a three hour long meeting with at least half a dozen people. And it was virtual t

I wasn't facetious; honestly, why bother? You're in a forum where half the people work for Big Tech or nastier satellites of them. You're hardly arguing with volunteers to the Sisters of Charity.

I agree. Sure CDs don't like to be sat on, but they don't tangle up like tape either. Both are more stable than a modern counterfeit sd card from Amazon though :P

Vietnam didn't move on! That's the one thing they most certainly did not do. For decades the Viet refused to move on until they won. After they won, they then fought a war with China and another proxy war with America. The Viet do

Obviously variable interest rates are lower over time - fixed term mortgages have a premium over variable and in stably changing conditions thats baked into the rate. The danger of variable rates is not that you might end up paying an ext

1. I hardly think the US is a paragon of economic hope. But I find it amusing that a (presumably) Canadian goes straight to compare the country to the US. Nothing ever gets done in Canada until the ritual comparison is done. Very provinci

Your average home in Canada is not 3 million. And your average "homeowner" is really a mortgage holder who is going to be in a world of pain as soon as his low interest rate mortgage is renewed. Anyway I don't get your aggres

Yes, of course, but do these people get headaches from capers and raisins? What in interacted to know is if wine has much more flavonoids from the aging.

But presumably these people have kids! How are these kids supposed to buy a house? If my kids are in a worse economic situation than me, than I have failed economically in life. I mean, how can I enjoy living in a house with a big back yard

No, the countries' self reported rates of degrees obtainment are irrelevant. The quality of primary education is very low [1]. University education is mediocre, about par with the US [2]. Waterloo and UofT have decent CS programs but o

They're not rich. There's no fixed 30 year mortgage in Canada, only 5 year fixed. They're screwed. They're middle class, anxiously looking at the interest rates and holding on to jobs they hate to stay afloat. Canada is

See [1] for reference. First a nitpick that is unfortunately important - diesels' don't have a throttle; what we call throttle is the fuel cutoff ratio, or how long we inject fuel for. This is important because what distinguishes

You're right of course. 90% of environmentalism is virtue signaling. Anyone with a strong grasp of high school science snd math can figure that out. Easiest way to slash CO2 emissions literally overnight? Enforce speed limits, fuel co
