Lol that’s cute. I did a Monty Python sketch for my future wife (not on the first date) and she was highly amused.

Helllloooo Nurse! Always loved that show. I’ll have to check out the reboot.

Yeah I was trying to avoid something that included his name directly to keep it out of the lexicon as much as possible.

Yeah this looks to me like everyone got scammed, including the new owners.

detective Isaac Hanson, who found Backeberg, said he was able to locate her through her sister’s Ancestry.com account.

“That was pretty key in locating death records, census reports, all kinds of data,” Hanson told the news station, adding: “Ultimately, we came up with an address

I hate that about those genealogy sites: Someone else can give up your privacy for you. I found myself on one with a whole bunch of private info because some relative thought it was cool to put the whole family out there. They included kids, everyone’s birthdays, maiden names, addresses, the whole shebang. All completely public for anyone to search for, without asking anyone if it was okay with them.

Windows 10 won’t just stop working. I still see businesses rocking Windows Vista occasionally.

Makes snu-snu a little different.

Then bringing it to a blue mailbox might be your best option.

Can you leave sticking out of the slot?

That’s the point of the post-it note. So they see it.

I’ve done it before at an apartment, though admittedly it was many many moons ago.

The sticky note was just to be a flag, not the message.

If you don’t want to take it to a mailbox, you can put it back in your own mailbox with the “return to sender - no longer at this address” on it. The mail carrier can pick it up when they deliver your mail next. If they seem to miss it, you can try putting a bright post-it note on it to make it stand out.

I don’t really get what you’re saying. Maybe a picture would help? Having worked with mouse pointers for three decades, I’m pretty sure it’s either correct, or if you disagree then what you’re choosing as the click pixel is arbitrary, and pointer style and implementation dependent. In any case, the user will generally learn the specific click behaviour very quickly, usually without even thinking about it.

You can also put the dead key by the start button or some other designated place in the car to start it with RFID.

Yeah I’ve had mixed success with that on my Honda. I keep spare keyfob batteries around now.

Damn you beat me to it. I found this by doing some image manipulation and using a font analyzer: https://www.whatfontis.com/ENVG_Upright-Retro-Inspired-Headline-Font.font

That all being said, it’s probably bad optics for Carney right now. It’s probably in his interest to delay this until after the election.

Absolutely. The Chinese ambassador pretty much said that too by saying that Carney’s current stance is a posture for election… Basically giving Carney room to flip the other way after the election without China holding a grudge. At least, that’s how I read it.

Yes, I absolutely think we should prioritize deals with the EU. I think this is the perfect time for it. I worry that it won’t be enough to make up for the US though and we’ll need other deals to make up the shortfall.

This really feels like a huge opportunity for Canada. But I don’t know enough on this to argue for making a deal with China - or against it. This is all just spit balling and I’m ready to be set straight!

I mean I know Carney has come out against China on a number of things, calling them a geopolitical and foreign interference threat. I think he also mentioned their human rights record in the past. Does that change if we increase or decrease trade with them? I genuinely don’t know. Can we exert more influence over China if we work with them? Can they do the same to us? The timing of this particular announcement is interesting. It seems like they find PP more desirable than Carney…

When you look at progress in tech, science and space, China really looks to have a lot of momentum and is poised to take over leadership in these areas. I would hate for Canada to be left in the dust because we hitched ourselves too tightly to a collapsing America.

Maybe we can make an automotive deal with China that helps our own industry? Diversifying away from the US seems interesting.

It would certainly piss off Trump if we made some big trade deals with China.

Not if it’s a Pixel 6 Pro!

The REPO devs are quoted as saying:

And while on this topic, we want to encourage all mod makers to please optimize the amount of server traffic they send to avoid any skyrocketing server costs.

But the article writer turns this into:

The devs are most likely referring to mods that increase REPO’s player count above its 6-player default max. Last year, Content Warning faced similar issues, to the point that the devs had to shut down mods that increased the lobby size.

If that was what they meant, that’s what they would have said, since what they said doesn’t imply that at all. Depending on the API, the mods could be doing any number of things with even a single player that would send network traffic through the roof.

Telling modders this is just about lobby size might diminish the impact of what the devs are requesting. An inexperienced modder who isn’t changing lobby size might not realize they’re inadvertently being a bad citizen with other stuff they’re doing.

As someone else mentioned, they should look into protecting themselves within their API though. Rate limits, etc. Since this whole thing took off on them unexpectedly, they probably weren’t prepared, so in the meantime they’re requesting the mods be more careful. Ultimately, this won’t work though.

Tbh, if it was just a lobby size thing, I would think that would be super easy to defend against server-side…
