Are plastics use really regulated? I don't mean at mcd's, I mean plastics industry wide.

To add to that, I think HDR actually makes a good difference flying at night and dusk. It makes it much more enjoyable. A lot of VR panels still struggle with halos and other visual artifacts on dark scenes with highlights like runway lights.

That Alienware OLED looks amazing

I mean... That's the joke

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we.

It was funnier when it wasn't so blatant. A politician saying this today might mean it.

By grinding it fresh under controlled conditions

Though according to experts, there's still a health risk, like raw egg.

Thats where they went! Oops

Dude, no way. This is not remotely normal!

Rotors can get rusty when you haven't driven for a while, but it's just cosmetic. That's no reason to replace rotors. Even if you end up with a bit of grooving from bits of sand in the pads (especially on the rear discs) it's no issue.

Something else is wrong, or your mechanic is taking you for a ride.

Not so much well defined as fancy words. There is no example of a paying software development job that has no economic impact if the software were to fail.

If I ran a small shopify page for goat feed, I'd be an engineer for making sure the site stayed working so farmers could order their feed. It could even put lives at risk!

It really only excludes someone privately working on a video game for fun.

So given that, what are they actually regulating? What are they providing to their members to help them become better "software engineers". I say it's nothing at all? +

You missed my point that if professional engineering societies in Canada want to take ownership of software and electronics, they better do something and not just say they're regulating it and sit on it with no clear definition for what it even is.

If they were doing their job, we wouldn't need to debate what a software engineer is. They've let us down and they're getting away with it.

But architects aren't engineers either! We have engineers in building construction, they are called engineers.

They ensure all required calculations are done, all safety standards are adhered to, they complete detailed designs, and they sign off on a project legally so things like quotes and timelines have legal teeth.

I disagree, I believe the regulatory agencies do nothing in Canada to legitimize their claim to regulating software development. Heck, they do nothing for electronics or semiconductors or anything smaller than the power grid.
