I agree it’s ridiculous that we still have this private monopoly running. IRRC the contract is coming up for renewal and they’ve already tried to get rid of it before but it would have resulted in billions in penalties. I hope they do get rid of the beer store, but fuck the cons.

We can’t even get cars out of Kensington market. We’ll never close a stretch of Yonge.

Have more info on that? Are most owned by the same company?

I’m back on the dating scene in my early 30’s and I try to be hostile to their algorithm by force quitting and leaving the app closed which seems to trigger it to try and be more engaging.

I also tried gold only to have my filters just not work. Why would I be interested in matching someone 6000km away or someone with kids even though I’ve tried filtering them out? Ask Tinder I guess. Why would I pay for a service that doesn’t even work. Now that I’m not paying the “likes” seem to roll in even though I frequently run out of users for my area.

But if that’s the case just go to a club a pay for bottle service or something and invite some women to drink for free. Probably have better luck than trying to be splashy on Tinder hahaha

Doubtful, some people in my building had mentioned it was a car accident taking down a utility pole

Huh, I just enabled it last night hahaha

That’s ridiculous. I do put money away. The problem is that the size of downpayment needed is growing way faster than I could hope to save. How often do these adverse affects actually happen? Once or twice? You can also DIY.

Other things you can reliably budget for, new roof is every 20 years, maybe new appliances every 10 years. General upkeep? Renters do that already but you can DIY and you have a say in what happens.

Your argument is basically if you can’t save for a home while already paying for a home you can’t afford a home.

Basically anything short of we’re going to expropriate land and build massive amounts of rgi’s and cooperatives will fix it on the supply side of the equation.

We need to tackle the problem at the source and that’s housing being used as an investment vehicle by wealthy people and corporations as a means of wealth extraction from the working class. It’s completely choking the economy.

This is what I too. Collect the vaped bud in a freezer bag and then extract the remaining THC into edibles. Everyone loves them, it tends to be a strong and gentle high.

Same. Burn it all down. I’m tired of paying my landlord the equivalent of a mortgage for fuck all security because I don’t have enough for a downpayment.

Woo paying for ads! We’re back to cable.

Isn’t that technically salting the earth? Maybe in something like the Sahara but I don’t see like it’s a good idea.

If that’s the issue what about just cranking the vibration up so you can feel and hear it if you set it down?

Good thing we keep letting these oligopolies buy each other. It’s never good for the actual people.

I’ve thought of doing something similar, the other fun part is that you could stash a big battery behind the display and run the E-ink on a super slow refresh rate since they only use power to refresh. I wish E-ink wasn’t so ridiculously expensive. This monitor would be perfect if it weren’t $1200.

Yep. Either that or they’re just older and used to the way things were. Go to the office if you want but leave me out of it.

That’s me too. Sure it’s useful once a week to sit down with my team but the rest of our work is solo or on an ad hoc debugging call where sharing screens actually makes things easier.

Even worse my office doesn’t even have enough desks for everyone, and even fewer of them are properly setup with a monitor from this decade. Each of I ur 3 mandatory office days is a complete crapshoot on whether you’ll actually get a proper workstation or will you be stuck at a table with your laptop all day.

They’re write offs where fuck all gets done. Some of my colleagues who are in meetings all day seem to be okay with the office but if you actually need to do work there’s little point in being there.

I had the same issue and warrantied it for $100. I’m still pissed off but it was roughly the cost of a new controller. I can’t live without underside buttons anymore.
