it does have that aftertaste, doesn't it? Given Mamdani win there's a chance she did the math and figured that indeed spending time and energy in place where she's doomed to lose is counterproductive. Or it could be that she's been informed to not interfere in Big Boys' game so she decided to bow out.

We've got a "range" but most fall into friendly category. People will stop to help you when you're stuck.

alberta politics is awkward but people are friendly in larger communities. Some remote small communities may be awkward but not always.

will we be going back to Sheer? I mean their past several generations of leaders were all with Carisma in sub-zero territory, I think Harper kind of set the trend there.

drone fleet can do wonders on "superior force". Luckily China is still stuck in bigger-meaner-better mentality so pivoting to more agile warfare methodology would work... except most drone components are made in china

so after reading another article where Europeans discovered that Chinese EV bus can be remotely "switched off". Concern is real. Did anyone try the same with US vehicles? This whole "Software defined vehicle" is a security nightmare. Car manufacturers care very little about cybersecurity ...so the only difference with China, is that manufacturers have deep ties with government so control of vehicles can serve political goals as much as economical.

identity politics is the easiest way to give populous something they didn't ask for but feel like they always needed it

funny that QAnon stuff circled around Dems having pedo-leanings and that was an OUTRAGE yet now it turns out to be OK, Humane even... wtf? Their morals exist only to stick it to anyone opposing them and they evaporate the second one of their own is caught doing exact thing

no. greens always suffered from identity crisis oscillating between libertarian and socialist values. Not to say that NDP didn't completely lost their social democratic way etc. but to save the province we'd need an entity with core values unshakable and guided by firm principals,not flip-floping in the wind. I will vote for progressive candidate under any banner provided their party allows free voting for them which is rare in today's politics.

CoOp, CanCo and... Costoco? Those seem to be relatively "Canadian" options.

interesting. thanks for the references.

 

Fedora 40 running on Dell laptop with KDE spin has done it twice on separate occasions: after rebooting for updates it just hangs after applying them. Is this something known? I've looked on google but could find only similar queries in other places with no answers or "just hard reset it" answers. I've been running Fedora for over a decade now and haven't seen such behaviour until recent releases. Some config drift? something else?

 

Pi Cap has everything I need for my project in terms of function, however their howto page has 2022 update stating that Bullseye does not work with it and one needs to use Buster. I would appreciate any pointers.

 

Is there an abridged version (1-2 pages) of main game math mechanics for v3.5 or v5?

Does anyone else experience "avalanche" of app crashes on each thunderbolt dock unplug with Fedora 41 KDE edition?

I have file an issue and linked some of the crash reports already ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2329570 ) but I am curious whether it's something specific to my setup or a general problem?

 

I haven't looked at youtube content for a while, however lately I can't watch any videos using libretube. Something about "prove you're not a bot" which I assume is a consequence of google's crusade against add-ons and 3rd party tools. Is there a way around it or are we done with YT?

 

I'm trying to make my own window sills in our new house. We have windows rather deep so depth is around 9in and wide - 42/60in. I'm looking at read oak vs douglas fir. Red oak is mainly available in sub 8in cuts. The only one I found in 9in is 3/4 thick. Would that be sufficient to support plant pots or potentially human sitting on them? However Fir I can get in various sizes so I was looking at 1in thick.

Which one would be more practical? Oak at 3/4 or Fir at 1in?

My reading was that fir is sufficiently softer so plant pots may leave imprints etc. or am I wrong there?

 

I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

 

I just found out that sometime in the last month or so while doing regular updates Wine got bumped to 8.12... (likely from 8.0) and my games have gone haywire: Neverwinter Nights and Diablo2 would kind of start but then halt. Switching to desktop and back unblocks games for the next few seconds and then things repeat.

I've downgraded wine to 7.12 and things are working back.

Question: should I have done some migration step for 8.12 to work properly or is it even a known issue?

I am using PlayOnLinux for Diablo2 with System Wine and Vanilla System wine for NWN.
