Honestly interior BC or Alberta is better than Whistler. So many nicer hills without the crowds.

If you live nearby and that's your only option then great. If you're doing a trip personally I think you should head inland.

I love that my global settings has a whole section labelled Privacy, but I can't disable this globally for all chats my account joins.

Instead I have to disable it for each chat individually.

What awful design WhatsApp (obviously on purpose so I'll forget with new chats).

Well maybe this is the push that those friends will need to move to Signal...

There's a rather long documentary on it. I want to say by NoClip but not totally sure.

Short version is they came up with the idea in the 90s I want to say, playing tabletop with a friend group. Two main designers. Helped set up a company to make a computer RPG version and designed and built the game with a team. Outsider investing came in and bought up some amount of the company.

Once game was built and shipped and they were looking into what to do next they were effectively ousted from the company. So the two original designers of the game now get nothing and lost control of their passion project.

Edit: while. NoClip is making one, the one I'm thinking of was done by People Make Games. At least I think it's this one? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JGIGA8taN-M

I actually looked up the source for this and couldn't find it.

That being said I agree with the sentiment.

My parents used to go down to Arizona. They sold their trailer back in 2018 (so just before Covid which was very lucky). They've done the odd trip down to the US (they sold because they wanted to go to different places) but plan to go out to Vancouver Island and other places more often now.

Family friends with a house in Palm Desert sold their place after Trump joked about Canada being the 51st state and plan to never go back down again. At least for as long as he is president.

This seems like something that was pre-programmed, in particular if they had five robots all doing a choreographed routine.

How is this AI related?

With a built in game pad. And saying a game is SteamDeck supported means it supports SteamInput which means it supports the gamepad natively.

Friend recently asked me something similar as he's finalizing a divorce and has started dating again, though he's a bit younger than you (and the girl is a bit younger than your example).

I forget exact ages but the half your age plus 7 rule was met. Say 42 and 29?

She worked in our industry and specifically the same role he did, but at a more junior level I have to assume.

Distilled down a but I essentially said if they like each other and they are together because of that, then it's fine. They are both adults and can have fun together as much as they want. They need to keep that balance though. If it becomes a mentorship kind of situation then they probably both need to take a step back and reflect on what that means.

Actually yes. Only Poland is higher than many parts of Canada per this site, and Czech, Finland, and Romania are roughly the same depending on where in Canada you look:

That is crazy, wow.

Software engineering in Canada in the 2000s. Most of the labs in my university ran Linux, at least in the engineering, math, and science areas of campus.

Personally I ran, depending on the year, LFS (Linux from Scratch), Slackware, or Gentoo (which still lives on that laptop today but also it hasn't been booted or connected to a network in like 10 years).

I think there was only one lab with Windows. We also had a lab of Solaris machines but I bet those are gone now.

No idea what Law, Nursing, and other faculties in the other side of campus used.

From the company that put root kits on music CDs...

Not sure if typo or honest mistake in your title but just in case:

Cookies crumble (break into smaller pieces).

Sheet metal and/or aluminum foil crumples (crushes / becomes creased).

 

Would love to have the option to mark as read after voting.

Or maybe it's an option in the Lemmy account? Haven't found it though.
