Jeremy Harrison is little more than a middleschool bully, and his antics continually demonstrate that, despite him being a 46 year old man. One of my favourite is when Donna Harpauer, Finance Minister, blamed high gas prices on the Saskatchewan NDP in 2023 (yeah, try to figure that one out), and ol Jer was sitting right behind her cheering so fervently he might as well had been in a skirt waving pom poms around.

I think it’d be a stretch to call some of those provincial ‘health insurance’ programs functional in several aspects.

I remember there being tube polo as an intramural sport at my university. I never played but it’s another option to avoid mostly just drowning the whole time.

And also that many contracts to improve on IT are performed by the lowest bidder.

The $34.95/hr average is stated as the average for permanent positions. I doubt many of the service industry jobs are permanent positions.

It’s amazing how he can get anything done if he spends all his time drilling oil.

I think it’d be interesting to make the order based on OPS or something. Reward the guys producing with the higher spots.

The commentators said today that guys are in the cages/BP for several hours, and while I’m definitely an armchair coach, perhaps that’s the issue… more practice doesn’t equal better performance if it’s poor practice. Was hitting not the issue at the end of last season? Did they get a new hitting coach?

Agreed, it’s like golf, if you’re into that. If you’re thinking about 1000 different mechanical things, you’ll never have a nice swing. If you just make one fluid motion using your entire body for power, it turns out pretty well.

The underlying plot of this article is rather obnoxious. This Smith guy’s 2016 Hyundai hybrid broke and the dealer gave him a $15k quote to fix it, which was then resolved by Hyundai corporate. The headline statement is one small paragraph, and irrelevant to this random story.

To discuss the headline, though, I think it all stems from misinformation more than anything. I have an EV in the charging desert of north east Saskatchewan. It’s a fantastic car and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one again. Yes, you do have to plan ahead a bit if you’re going longer distances, but the slight inconvenience is well worth the savings in fuel. Winter range can be reduced by around 50% at -30, but again, you plan around that. ICE vehicles don’t perform well at those temperatures either.

Even then, the trips the vast majority of people make are well within typical EV ranges and there are often several charging option wherever the vehicle is parked.

Even just rent one for a day. They’re so simple and just work.

Wow, and 6 of those 7 were on two-strike hits.

It will be a great day for baseball when computers replace ball and strike calls. It seems to get worse every year.

I recently went this route after dabbling with other options. I had a wireguard VPN through my Unifi router, with rules to limit access to only the resources I wanted to share, but it can be a struggle for non savvy users, and even more so if they want to use Jellyfin on their TV. Tried Twingate too and would recommend if it fits your usecase, but Cloudflare Tunnels were more applicable to me.

About $11M USD.

And those professionals often aren’t getting the majority of their income from capital gains.

Docker is installed on a Debian container with Proxmox as the hypervisor. I believe as far as Docker knows, it’s just running on normal Debian. The Debian LXC has its own local ip.

I’ll take a look at those resources though, thanks.

I might have found the issue, see updates above. I have a separate Docker LXC that was behaving normally too, so was good to cross-check with that.

Why would one prefer a VM over an LXC for Docker?

OminousOrange, 1 month ago

This is mostly my reasoning too. I’ve got a bit more juice than a NUC, but I prefer the way resources are managed with an LXC for the certain apps that I run. I still have VMs for other things, like HAOS and a BlueIris NVR. It’s only a local homelab with no external users so avoiding additional complexity is often in my best interest.

You don’t have backups set up in Proxmox?

Many local libraries provide access to this incredible resource too. Check yours to see.

While it doesn’t really apply to bamboo, this is kind of the way hedgerows are laid. The main trunk of the “tree” is cut most of the way through (called a pleacher), then laid on its side. New growth then sprouts from both the laid trunk, still getting nutrients from the stump, and the stump itself.

Check out coppice if you’re more interested. It’s pretty amazing what trees can do.

In a word, underwhelming.

But, as the motto goes, it’s still early. I saw a stat the other day that the Jays’ chase rates were among the top in the league, but run production was among the lowest. I’m optimistic that this new hitting mentality will come around to produce benefits though, it’ll just take a bit of time and discipline to really kick in.

I should’ve been more clear, their chase rates are among the best (lowest*) in the league. It is promising they’re able to manufacture runs without the home run so far though.
