Beaverton or not, it is true. No one wants to be known as the company that hired the failed trucker convoy pm.
Betteridge's law: no. The liberals were the smart choice this time but there is no reason for them change the rules that let them win.
I wonder what happens when it hits a pedestrian or cyclist.
So which is it, liberals are too easy on crime or prisons are labour camps?
Yes, let's join the countries that run on slavery! Then the conservatives don't have to hide their plans to convert Canada into the North American branch of China's slave labour industry.
Both of our 2.5 parties bleed money without significantly improving quality of life for people at the bottom.
My 1080 from 2017 has 8gb of vram. Still works fine.
Solid use of taxpayer funding.
Ground is bare in the US/Canada in residential wiring (insulated grounds are only found when pulling wire in conduit or in isolated ground systems like hospitals). Guy who did this is just an asshole and doesn't know how a 3-way switch works.
I saw a truck with giant "Polievre 2025" flag. It's weird how the asshole conservative circle falls almost entirely inside the pickup truck owner circle.
The Vegemite product being sold was found to have added vitamins which are not permitted in this product as per the Food and Drug Regulations and is therefore not permitted to be sold in Canada.
Something about specific B vitamins? Donno, it is a trash article to not be specific.
Except TFA also says that Marmite is vitamin B fortified and is not banned.
3.3k over 19 years isn't too bad considering I bought an Index and Deck :/ If anything I need more games!
Marketing is convincing people to give up money they need for stuff they didn't want.
momentarily embarrassed millionaire
Buddy, I have a few months of mortgage payments saved up for emergency but I am still seconds away from being homeless if everything goes wrong but decades away from being a millionaire if everything goes right.
Huh, who else do we know who said they would overrule a bunch of laws to make a country great again?
We don't have the manufacturing resources to replace all foreign suppliers overnight. Going pirate would require that all the manufacturing facilities be built, secretly, before hand because once we start we'll be cut off.
Don't buy the Pixel 8. There is an issue with the screens where you get a hot row.
Ontario is way too susceptible to misinformation
People in general are stupid. People use 'apps' that they know will sell their personal information. People text while driving. People vote conservative. This is what happens when an education system is non-priority.
All the addicts who didn't win.

Self Built Home Monitoring System
Warning there are some tall-ass images in this post.
A few years ago I got mad enough at the temperature gradient in my town house that I designed and build a bunch of ESP8266 sensors to feed data into an RRD so that I could have some pretty graphs to be angry about as well. (As of this week I have also started logging stats from my UPS and server.) Using the minimum of HTML and CSS I threw those graphs, a map of the previous day's incoming network traffic, and some convenient links onto a homepage that I use on all of my devices. At a glance this tells me if the furnace/AC is working, if my server is having a fit for unknown reasons, and if the local power grid is playing it fast and loose with the voltage and frequency (which I suspect they do).
Clicking the temperature/humidity data leads to a long term data page covering 2 years of data in varying resolution. The gap last fall was when the garage sensor
Using a vinyl cutter and mini-sand blaster I made some alternate universe corporate schwag! I like the idea that someone might have swiped these during an interview before both companies had their 'accidents.'
Water Reactive EL Panels
I got my hands on some really weird EL panels and did a little dive into how they work. I still have no idea where to get more but I think they may be DIY-able.
First Functional Print
Many adapters re-use the head and prisms of the microscope which leads to loss of light and aberrations, this direct mount projects the microscope's image directly onto the sensor giving the best picture possible. The dovetail on the microscope side is "standard" sized for Olympus heads, ~42mm wide ...
I was gifted an unused Ender 3 Pro two weeks ago and managed to model and print an adapter to connect Sony E-Mount cameras onto a 42mm dovetail used by microscopes.
Bed adhesion, leveling, stringing, clearance issues, blobs and permanently welded supports, I got to battle it all but thanks to the massive volume of community support I worked my way though.
First Functional Print
I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

I learned this week that many high speed CD-ROM drives used balancing balls on the spindle to stop discs from vibrating at 10Krpm.
Between the platter that supports the CD and the motor there is a puck with a toroidal void containing a few ball bearings. When an out of balance CD is spun up the spindle and disc together rotate around their common center of mass, some point between the spindle and the edge of the disk. This means that the void containing the balls no longer rotates around it's center, it spins like a hula-hoop around the spindle/DC center of mass. With the "lighter" side of the system being farther from the center of rotation the balls roll 'down hill' towards the side of the void that is experiencing more centrifugal force. Eventually enough balls will collect on the light side to perfectly cancel out the heavy side. If there are too many balls they will distribute themselves inside the void until they cancel out each other's weight!

1990 - 2005 Gaming Build
I found a box of CD-Roms and floppy disks in my mum's basement and damnit, I want to play them! I could use emulators, DosBox or VMs but it's never quite the same as having the real thing, so between an eBay mobo and a box of old parts I managed to build my new gaming rig to cover 1990-2005.
Its running a P3 at 1GHz, 512MB of ram, and an ATI Xpert98 with 8MB of memory. As I didn't want to run an old IDE drive with a million hours on it, I tried an SATA-IDE adapter, it caused some issues during the install but that just felt like the standard Windows experience.
Though unpopular, I went with ME for 2 reasons, the first was Dos support, the second is that I went from W95 to ME as a kid, 98 wouldn't have felt the same. The install bricked twice with video drivers but I finally got it up and running with the default drivers and an 18" Samsung flat CRT (runs up to 1600x1200 at a nauseating 60hz).
So what were your favorite games from the 90's and early 2000s?
Court dismisses legal challenge to Ontario Place redevelopment
In the ruling, the judges argued the application could not be successful because of a new law, Rebuilding Ontario Place Act, 2023, that the government passed days after the court application was filed last November.
wow
Repaired and repainted a curbside CRT to match my NES.
Repaired some broken solder joints, sanded out the biggest scuffs and polished most of the scratches out of the screen. Oh yeah, and the paint job.
DIY Paul Ion (Particle) Trap
The two hemispheres are electrically connected to each other and to an AC power supply, the ring is connected to the same AC supply but 180 degrees out of phase. Particles are charged and then injected into the trap, they are then alternately attracted to the ring and hemispheres causing them to oscillate and become trapped! As the voltage is increased lighter particles pick up more speed until they are finally thrown free from the trap. In ideal conditions ions are all charged the same amount allowing the trap to sort the ions from lightest to heaviest, allowing you to determine the atoms that make up a particular substance.
In this model I can not control the charge on the particles but it is possible to roughly sort them from smallest to largest.
Notes: This trap is scaled WAY up, the ring had a diameter of about 24mm. I'm trapping non-dairy creamer not individual ions. The frequency this trap runs at is WAY lower frequency than that of a real ion trap. This trap runs at a much hi

In the ten years since I took this photo the trail has been abandoned and the tree has rotted away.

Ex Boeing employee unable to appear at whistleblowing suit because he mysteriously died.
Prior to his death, John Barnett was testifying against Boeing over concerns about standards.
Totally unrelated to the Boeing that lost a wheel last week or the Boeing that had "a strong movement" today, injuring 50.
