I have a colleague who knows someone working at Tesla. Apparently Musk would walk the floor and declare "this isn't cyber enough, make it more cyber" like the awful client in every freelance webdev joke of the last 30 years.
Have you ever seen someone with their turn light on, only for them to go straight?
The turn signal is only an assurance that the driver has made contact with the signal lever, not their intentions.
Not all tuen lanes cut across opposing traffic.
Everyone's aware here, too. If you were to ask most conservative voters about packaging plastic, they would likely agree that there's way too much, or at worst not care.
PP is specifically politicising it because people kindof hate paper straws, and he will use any displeasure to slip his dick in.
It also geographically connects Acadia and Newfoundland to the rest of Canada, wildly weakening Atlantic Canada's ties to government and the rest of the country, and completely torpedoing east/west trade.
"And fuck power levels"
The difference, fundamentally, is that Carney studies markets, while Milhouse worships them.
They only seem to go to to one of the extremes in any sufficient number
Yes, they are. Because they're limited in their context.
Corporate ownership of housing, regulatory changes made by the Harper government, amd the state turning away from developing public housing 40 years ago created the housing crisis.
Wasn't this their first gambit, too?
They've also lowered their placement on the front end, meaning they're pointing more horizontal.
Oh, and everyone's driving three story tall monster minivans now
Threaten the students, and the universities join right in. Threaten their money, though...
"I'm mad at the Liberals"
NDP support crashes.
"I like this new Liberal guy!"
NDP support crashes.
There's more to the dynamic than just "Liberals bad".
Enough NDP voters' second choice is the CPC that the Liberals are doing the things to attract that demographic. Look at the polling right now. The only people stumping for the NDP are the ones who will walk over toxic broken glass to vote against the Liberals.
Yup. The rose coloured glasses folks think manufacturing jobs provided good pay, when it was union jobs that did that. And you can turn any industry into a unionized industry with enough fire effort.
Yes, but if I do 80 joins and don't specify join conditions, things get, like, super slow, Scoobs!
Read the abstract, then read the conclusion. If you want to dig deeper into the findings, read the discussion section. Unless you're interested in the minutia of the methods or the research context, you can skip the rest of the paper.

Is server load of posts/communities just not an issue? Questions about lemmy-federate from a skeptic
Social media in general just isn't a good archive of information. It's a discussion space -- a living space -- not an archive.
If you want information archives, you should creating websites for that specifically.
Half the provinces are small. Tiny, really, from a population standpoint. The large ones would, and will now, run roughshod over the small ones.
Taking over the abandoned communities
Hey @averyrandomusername, if you're willing to mod a local group, have you considered reaching out to the admin and requesting ownership of c/NovaScotia and/or c/Halifax?
You're Missing the Point of Dungeons
Click to view this content.
Dungeons are fun, but they are (sic) great at everything. Knowing why they were used and how they are useful can help you game elevate dungeons to what they should be.
I thought this was a fun, and interesting video discussing the role dungeons have played in TTRPGs, and what they've been inspired by.
Kickstarter Rundown: 29 January
So, I spend what is objectively too much time on Kickstarter. Every couple of days, I buzz the site, primarily looking for my next fix of bestiaries for my Pathfinder 2e table (I don't know what it is about physically bound monster stat blocks on glossy paper, but I apparently need that shit hooked directly up to my veins).
This January's been a bit of a lull period for that, though. It has seen a bit of a resurgence on the D&D 5e front, though, with a bunch of interesting projects having released recently. I thought I'd pass some of them along (as well as everything else I've seen in the last couple of weeks).

Pip and Pawn - For D&D, Pathfinder, and Savage Worlds
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said 'there isn't a snowball's chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States,' on the same day U.S. president-elect Donald Trump declared that he's open to using 'economic force' to acquire Canada.
Trump calls the US-Canada border an "artificially drawn line", in what seems like one of the most dumbfounding statements the "build the wall" president could possibly utter.
But which probably isn't, because it's Trump.
Forge of Fury: Running Idalla
So, I'm running the original 3e version of Forge of Fury, and my players are about to meet Idalla, the succubus. In the 3e version of the dungeon, Idalla is bound to the room, and just wants to leave. If she's attacked by a Good aligned character, she is free to leave... for some reason. Or, if she's granted permission from a Good aligned character, she's also free to leave.
I'm not at all sure how to run this. I foresee her explaining to the party that she's been magically bound to the room, and that the spell is broken just by giving permission, and then the party just... does. And she teleports away.
That seems totally pointless.
I really like the idea of there being a powerful being trapped in this room, though. It serves my purpose to have some sort of unexpected guardian in this space, and a filter that allows Good aligned characters through is really convenient in its own right.
Clearly, the solution is how I play the character, then, but I just cannot get myself inside h
Is there a way to change how the Application Launcher selects a category?
Hello! I'm new to Linux, and using Plasma 6.2, and I'm finding the Application Launcher incredibly finicky to work with. The primary issue is that the category changes on cursor pass-over, and so ends up requiring some surprisingly precise mouse or touch-pad movements to avoid changing the selected category.
Is there a way to change this behaviour? Digging through various settings panels hasn't unearthed an obvious toggle or set of options, and Google hasn't unearthed the secret either. I'm starting to lose hope on this front.
Am I missing something obvious? Is there a way to make it so the category only changes after a hover of some appreciable amount of time? Or even a click?

The Kickstarter is just about to hit its halfway point, and so far they are just over 67% of the way to being funded. People feel somewhat optimistic about its chances, given the timeframe involved, but there's still a big gap between what's been pledged and what they need. If you're interested in a Pathfinder cRPG based on the 2e rules, and you haven't checked it out, the link is in the title.
And a friendly reminder that the pricing is actually in Canadian dollars, so most people will have a friendly conversion rate given the CAD's current value.
The developers have been doing some interviews, though their ground game doesn't seem to be particularly strong. I've collected some of their media tour below.

Budget Astroturfing in Full Effect
Crazy how the only one of these airing criticism that says the budget isn't doing enough is the publicly owned one.
