People get prosecuted for things out of jurisdiction all the time. There’s a few states right now trying to lock up doctors from other states.

It doesn’t usually work very well though.

Nothing is stopping it, it’s just not particularly convenient because it’s designed around the limitations of the phone system.

SIP could handle it all if you wanted though.

Recorders still good for that.

The simple answer is practice, practice writing while getting interfered with (like while you’ve got loud music on, or while watching something on TV)

The more complex answer is grab yourself a mini-recording device. Not one with AI though, that’s stupid. Something simple like https://www.amazon.ca/Recorder-Playback-Tonnlog-1536Kbps-Activated/dp/B0D9NWQXSH/

Then you can just make a quick voice note, or record your meeting with someone (make sure this is legal in your jurisdiction, some places it isn’t) and then you can play it back later to make proper notes.

They’re a type of heat engine using evaporation.

Technically it would work, but it wouldn’t scale up nicely no.

It would be far less efficient than everything we currently use for power.

I don’t go to subway frequently, maybe once a year or so, but if you ask nicely and show them a video they can usually pull it off.

It’s the only way to cut for sauce-heavy sandwiches that would otherwise squish out the side.

I’ve been eating the same sub for over 30 years now. I tried the side cut on it once, and managed to get hot tomato sauce all over myself.

There’s always someone worse.

Did you somehow forget that 90% of the shit on the internet 3 years ago just before AI was just absolute garbage websites copy/pasting from every other website in existence and so full of ads that people couldn’t even find the actual content on the page?

It’s the Wedge

How Subway used to cut their subs.

You’re missing a bunch of micro nutrients which would cause problems over time with this. It has all the calories and protein you need though.

Add in some fat from somewhere like cooking oil, and a handful of vegetables like onions, carrots, etc. and you’d last a fairly normal human lifespan.

He was such an amazing writer. Some of his books and themes in those books broaden lots of horizons around peace, acceptance, gender, and even race. It was clear, at least to me, that when ender used the n-word he was rebuking the other boy for his use of a Chinese slur. That was a positive message in my childhood.

And yet later he goes quite racist with that shit essay about the Obamas, and obviously homophobic in a bunch of his other activities and works.

That being said, In a way I almost don’t blame him for it, he was raised as a member of the LDS Church. While some people break out of the Mormon church, it’s not easily done. The only thing that made his standard Mormon views on these topics “important” or “special” was that he is more famous than most members of the church.

I disagree with him on most things, but he’s been programmed to act that way well beyond anything I experienced in my childhood and had to overcome.

Disappointed is the better word for my views on him.

There’s nothing to scrap, Capital gains taxes are already already waived for selling your primary residence in Canada.

My preference would be a policy that taxes all properties (just the land, not the building) and then refunding that money to every Canadian citizen (and maybe people who are on a PR track working towards citizenship) equally. That way if you have a big property with a high land value, and only 2 people living there, you’re not getting most of your tax back, but if you’ve got 3 kids and 2 adults in a 5 bedroom house in a suburb, or the same in a townhouse closer to the core, you’re breaking even, and if you choose to live as a couple in a 1 bedroom apartment (low land value per unit) or a larger place but further out of town where property is cheaper, you may even get a little bit of extra money back each month.

That way people are paying everyone else for the amount of desirable land they want to consume. You want a mansion in downtown Vancouver, go right ahead, pay everyone else for that privledge. You don’t need as much and are happy to have a small apartment just outside the core? Thank you for your sacrifice, here’s some cash from Mr. Mansion.

This scales nicely and encourages people to only use what they need at a given time, and also encourages development of density of properties that have high land values because people want to live there.

It also directly taxes non-citizens who want to own land here. Paying every Canadian for the fact that they’re consuming land in Canada.

That’s what I’m saying, there’s too many people in houses that aren’t the right size for them. It’s not a supply issue, it’s a distribution issue.

If you make 1100 dinners, and there are 1000 people, but you give two dinners to 400 people you’re going to run out before everyone gets a dinner. There’s no shortage of dinners though, it’s simply a distribution issue.

People don’t have to stay in a house that’s far too large for them. Allowing or encouraging them to do so is actually a huge problem.

My parents are a perfect example of this, they have a house with 4 bedrooms, and a suite with 1 more bedroom. They had the suite rented out, but decided they didn’t need the money so they stopped. It’s literally just the two of them in a 5 bedroom house. They also have a one bedroom cabin elsewhere. Was that 4 bedrooms useful when they were raising my sibling and I? Sure, but we haven’t lived there in 25 years.

We need policies that encourage scaling house size to family size, so that the distribution issue gets resolved. We need policies that encourage essentially force density in desirable locations. Those are the only way we solve the housing issue. We cannot, no matter how hard we try, build our way back to affordable housing.

Except that’s not what the data says, there are more bedrooms in BC than people, not even accounting for the fact that lots of people are couples and share a room.

It’s true for every location I’ve ever checked in Canada, including Metro areas like Vancouver and Toronto.

There’s a lot of excess bedrooms that are not being used for housing people.

What? Nah, His edit is 11 minutes after I said it.

Did you even read what I said.

It’s not a supply and demand problem locally. In fact, it’s the opposite of that. It’s a local supply problem, with a national demand issue.

That’s why all this nonsense about supply building is so fucking useless. You can’t supply all of the houses in Vancouver that are desired from the 41 million Canadians across Canada.

By all means keep building more, but unless you tamp demand down it will not matter.

I wouldn’t say horrible, but the shine definitely faded off Will Smith.

He’s made some poor choices over the years.

I’m still not sold on this one. He may not be the nicest person, he may even be a jerk sometimes, but I don’t think calling him horrible is fair either in that regard.

Unless you’re a conservative and now hate science as an adult, then I can see why those people might call him horrible.

That looks like a list of major tour stops for sure…
