If only there was another grocery store than Maxi that sold okay quality stuff at discount prices around here. I’ve got a farmers market and a local grocery store where veggies get down to an interesting price in season, but otherwise I basically have to choose between Maxi, Walmart, or pay considerably more at IGA or Metro - with the wife, dog and two kids, it approaches a hundred more for comparable groceries at the latter. Can’t say I find giving my money to Sobeys or Metro any more attractive either…

I often just forgot to turn it on, to be perfectly fair.
Hmm yep, you’re right. Wasn’t aware of this, funny.
All CLAs aren’t created equal, IMHO. I ain’t a lawyer, but looks to me like K8s’s grants the CNCF a license to the use and patent your code, but you remain the copyright owner. As far as these things go, this one doesn’t look that terrible, at first glance. Or, at least, I’ve seen worse.
Aren’t K8s and Go fundamentally Google projects?
Oh I don’t think I’m particularly old, statistically speaking I’ve got about the same amount or a bit more left to go… We just all have those moments that make you realize time flies, don’t we?
If it’s anything like here (Canada), it’d be around 7-8yo.
My first non-prepaid plan with something that was not the cheapest flip phone possible, must have been around 2006-2007, with a slide phone, and the very minimum plan I could get which was, IIRC, 50 minutes of local calls, unlimited nights and weekends, and exactly zero text messages included, no caller ID nor voicemail 😂 First time I had a data plan was in late 2011, when I got my first smartphone (Galaxy SII), and that was definitely less than 1GB/month…
As far as I could understand, North American carriers charged through the nose for mobile data for the longest time, but usually bundled SMS with some plans in some form, be it a set number of messages, or unlimited nights/weekends (oof, I don’t feel younger typing that one out). I was a student working for one of our Canadian carriers the first time I saw more than like a gig of data for less than 70$/month, and that was in the long term contracts, cancellation fees days lol
In most of the rest of the world, data became cheaper faster, but SMS was/is still expensive. This, combined with iPhone’s popularity in NA making people use iMessage, led to a lot of people just sticking to the defaults and use SMS on one side of the Atlantic, while the rest used WhatsApp or similar.
Oh, same. I run a bunch of Docker services and VMs and stuff for work, so the extra RAM lets me dedicate some memory to it without eating at my day to day apps. Also gets rid of the Electron junk problem by brute forcing it lol. But for gaming specifically, as far as I’m concerned, it’s GPU>CPU>RAM in order of importance - as long as you’re not bottlenecked by the latter, prioritize putting money in the former.
I went 32GB on my early 2020 build, and I didn’t regret it once ever since. I still have a second 2x16GB set in my pricing watchlist just in case there’s a good sale and I feel fancy lol. It’s honestly just nice not having to think about it at all.
There's no problem with horse racing. It is judged by the clock. It is objective.
My question was more about how does it pass as a “sport” in your eyes while dance doesn’t? Equestrian as a whole also absolutely has judge/point based events, and isn’t limited to racing horses.
I WANT ALL THE SUBJECTIVELY JUDGED EVENTS OUT. NOT JUST THE DANCE-RELATED ONES
Literally none of the ones you quoted (“shooting, curling, archery, golf, equestrian, etc”) are judged particularly subjectively though, so not sure how your… very loud and angry answer relates to the question I asked. It’s also a pretty wide ask, and I’m curious how you suggest this would go. I honestly can’t think of many sports that doesn’t have some level of subjective judgement in certain situations outside pure athleticism, so aren’t you basically just conflating athleticism and sports as far as olympics goes, and that’s it? Can’t think of much more subjective than being at the whim of a horse’s health, fitness and good will, for example.
I think the Olympics should only include sports arbitrated by THE CLOCK or THE MEASURING TAPE or THE LAST OPPONENT LEFT STANDING.
Based on what? There were a couple of questions I literally asked in my previous comment that would have helped clearing your views on this, for example, regarding why you feel the olympics as an event have this sanctity or aura that needs protecting.
Did you not read any of this in my post? Did you really just read the title?
You’re saying this, while having skipped most of the questions I asked, most of them exactly in response to the things you’re now saying I didn’t read. Note how my previous comment was purposefully a bunch of questions rather than me posing an opinion. I was merely trying to poke at the limits of your reasoning, to see if there are counter-arguments to be made.
Even re-reading my previous comment, I still feel like most of them were specifically on things you did not address in your original post. I therefore have a lot of trouble assuming anything but that you’re not looking to have a conversation but to have people to shout at, which I’m not interested in at all…
I forget every time how annoyingly bright my monitor can be if it’s too dark in the room. I can’t be arsed to change the monitor settings every time. And getting up to avoid a headache is such a future me problem.
