The argument is that we are taking on too many people and neither jobs nor housing completions are keeping up. There is an element of truth in that however our birthrate is not sustainable, either, so we're caught between those two eve

Ok sure but when I say Canada I am talking about the entire country. I support a cheap, fast line connecting Toronto with its populated neighboring cities. And sure, something between Vancouver and Portland would be fine. But it is not feas

I'd be down to switch things up and join Cascadia as a BC resident. Though the US can keep Oregon...

Time will tell if the economic shock actually works in Argentina and all the suffering it has caused and is causing was not for nothing. It didn't really work for Chile. Argentina NEEDED a shock. The US can and should take a more delic

I think in our defense there is simply not enough people and towns to support a rail network like this. A shame, really, 'cause a WestJet flight from Victoria to Calgary is way more expensive than it needs to be and don't even get

That's pretty wild but not obscene. Are your services OK, at least? Or is it like TX or FL where there are little if any state-level income taxes but made up for in property taxes?

by tills13 2y ago
I recognize that. I figured my locale -- which is known for a high cost of living, property taxes included -- would be comparable. I am apparently wrong.

by tills13 2y ago
Two questions, related: 1. why is this article lumping insurance and property taxes as the problem but never actually specifying how much each contributes? From my experience, neither are particularly expensive and neither come even close t

Yup. I paid like $40CAD for a single Hue lightbulb in 2017 and it's still going. In that time, I've had countless cheap Canadian Tire brand (NOMA) & Walmart brand LED bulbs burn out and need replacing totaling WAY more than $4

The nice part about mqtt is other things can subscribe to the same stream. I've also seen people do some really interesting things with hosting a copy of HA in the cloud -- this is what they connect to while outside their network -- an

I'm going to be annoying and simply laugh at the fact it's a 2k line, single file in source. It's TypeScript! You HAVE to compile it to ship it as an npm package (_technically_ you don't but). Split it up into smaller mo

Crude, maybe, but my opinion is that if someone -- healthy or not -- does not want to continue living, that's within their right. Add medical / health complications into the mix and it (again, imo) becomes inhumane to _not_ allow

Thanks for sharing your experience. And thanks for acknowledging your part in "the problem" -- truly, a lot of people in your position e.g. immigrate, and then try to pull the ladder up after them.

I believe in this case they aren't waiting for it to mature. They use what's called LVL (laminate veneer lumber) which is basically thin sheets of the wood glued together (think plywood but thicker) and then recut into dimensional

It's still unnecessary. You are lucky if you have not experienced addiction. Besides, I think it's stretching to just add the 40% alcohol substance abusers to the 30% and say "well that's 70% -- a majority". My fath

Unnecessary demonization of the unhoused as only drug addicts. Have some empathy. Many places simply ship their unhoused elsewhere (I'm Canadian and I remember reading about Calgary paying for one-way bus tickets to Vancouver). In othe

I think at some point in my life I'm going to quit programming and join a trade. Electrician sounds engaging, technical, and fun. The world will also never not need trades. After I retire, I want to pick up farming. It really sucks tha

Either way I wouldn't say it's "reasonable" that anyone at Ubiquiti has access to your NVR. A very skeptical and doomer take imo.

When it was produces, this was probably inspiring and effective. Retrospectively, it's a bit creepy and ominous.

I tried Halo and it was surprisingly spot on. I would buy the set it generated for me.

So let me get this straight, not only does it not explain what it is, it's a bit of a puzzle to even get to the download links, and then it straight up downloads an .exe which you expect me to run on my computer? Give me more info with
