There was a thread on hackernews a few days ago (maybe even yesterday, time is a construct) where someone shared a screenshot of a pop up ad served to them by the OS itself.
My employer was not part of this trial but has been doing this since Spring 2022. There’s been no increase in hours/workday or decrease in salary (and in fact, I got a raise—I think most people got at least a COLA).
We ran our own trial and the results are honestly even more positive than I would’ve thought myself.
I’ve been taking handwritten notes using my Rocketbook when I’m away from the computer, and I’d like to get them into my vault via a workflow more reasonable than emailing myself my notes and then copying them to Obsidian....
Oh absolutely we need to fund social services better, but in the meantime can we at least push (our reps to push) the Big 3 to allow people to stay connected.
It won’t fix the problem, but that’s not what I’m talking about when I say we should be able to call or text on the subway.
I’m a big anti-car person (I’m middle aged and gave never owned one) and that made me roll my eyes. Someone should tell them about that, actually. And that the media doesn’t report on that is ridiculous (though I suppose it’s not the point of this particular story).
I’m kind of in a strange boat right now where I’m really comfortable in Canada yet I can’t shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card,...
No way. I moved here from there (I’m Canadian now!) and every day I’m gladder I got out.
I’d probably make more money there, but there are things I value more than money and my life is significantly better in Toronto than it ever was in any of the three states I lived in.
This new normal of near-constant wildfire smoke annoys me as much as the next person. But it serves as a reminder that we share one fragile atmosphere that we're collectively screwing up. Fruitless to waste all this energy pointing fingers like children when we should be joining hands to fix this. It's like nature's warning...
Example, the supreme court of Manitoba is now called “The Court of King’s Bench” – but the URL still says queen: www.manitobacourts.mb.ca/court-of-queens-bench/...
I became a citizen this month after applying back when we still had a Queen and I got tripped up when saying the oath due to this—I’m on my 30s, there’s been a Queen forever, I’m not used to having a King. I’m sure I’ll get used to it at some point but man that felt weird.
I started playing Civ 6 on console about a year ago, and I've finally acquired all the expansion packs and additional leaders. (While I'm very excited about it, my SO's response when they see me playing is usually "Ugh, not that CORN GAME" again 😂)...
I love Civilization and wanted to have a place to discuss it on here. Please feel free to post! The only rule is it must be related to the Civilization series.
