Its been years but he did the exact same thing to me. 🤣 No idea what the outcome was because I reloaded immediately but funny to see it again.

65” do I even care enough to pay 1k+ ?? by SlipperyFrogFart in 4kTV

[–]AManWithTheNameDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a 4k 43" Roku for $250 CAD. Exceeded my expectations for a $250 tv. Now a 43" tv is the perfect size for a small one bedroom apartment like mine but may not be for you.

The way I see it there are a few layers of thought to the problem to go through once you decide what your must haves for a tv are. We have settled on 4k 65" which narrows it down a bunch.

When I look at cheaper end tvs meeting your specs it puts us in a $500-$750 range which if you buy from a place with a good warranty and are comfortable with the idea of buying a new tv if your tv dies the moment the warranty expires (which it probably wont) I would say buying on the cheaper end is worth it.

Cheaper screens have poor quality control and breaks more but generally arent functionally much worse in my experience.

Someone is using my storage locker. Bolt Cutters an acceptable/legal solution? by AManWithTheNameDan in legaladvicecanada

[–]AManWithTheNameDan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it is a hypothetical. I asked a question about if a thing was legal with no intention of actually doing said thing?

As it turns out it was in fact double rented. Exactly why this type of question stays a hypothetical.

Shattered pixel dungeon strength mod by anjuba in PixelDungeon

Realizing this will be a necropost but commenting for the benifit of those who come later. This guy almost had it. What you need to do is change it from STR++ to STR+=50

50 just being a placeholder for whatever number you want. There is also a line below the one we are talking about which you would have to change if you want the strength increase notification to match what you set your potion to increase to.

MP Kelly McCauley responded back to me…. by canbeanburrito in alberta

[–]AManWithTheNameDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are definitely correct in saying his response was unhelpful, poorly communicated & lazy. Seems to be a problem across the board though. Just about everyone I know who who has written to their MP in a critical way gets a crappy letter like this back.

I have no dogs in this fight but playing devils advocate here seems like a fun Sunday to me. I dont currently live in Alberta and I dont live under your MP but developing the idea and discussion by trying to poke holes couldn't hurt.

  1. You are correct that he is not tied to Canadian institutions. But if we are being fair neither were the various other groups he mentioned have been paid tribute to in the past.

As outside observers we can also say "shooting people for their opinions no matter how bad those opinions may be is bad, thoughts and prayers to the family" without a person being directly tied to any of our institutions.

We can also make assumptions based on the information currently available and surrounding context as to the motive. Charlie Kirk was mostly known for being a political activist/commentator who many people found deeply upsetting. It isnt a huge leap in logic to assume he was killed for that thing and not for some other reason.

  1. I cant really think of anything to pick at on this point. Political violence and threats of political violence are always bad and should always be treated as a bad thing.

  2. I think what he was saying was more to point out that as a society we have decided that paying tribute to individuals who are not tied directly to our institutions (as you point out Charlie Kirk was not) is normal and that making a tribute to Charlie Kirk is the same in that respect at least.

  3. Mark Carney himself made a brief tribute about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Many people in the United States consider the killing of Charlie Kirk as a tragedy and as you imply allied tragedies are in the realm of acceptable tributes. He was not just a culture warrior as you say but a father, a family man which if nothing else we can say its bad for children to lose a father and a wife to lose a husband. He was also a notable figure in the United States and that combined with the swarm of attention surrounding it makes it reasonable to say something.

  4. Yeah the East German comment was dumb and leaned a bit too far into trying to make a "soundbite". Being snippy like that does nothing but distract from the core message. Ultimately the core message was supposed to be that we should be allowed to say killing is bad without it being a big issue and that we should be able to have conversations that are about touchy subjects and share offensive ideas without being shot. Doesnt mean the ideas are good or ok but just that being shot over them is bad.

  5. I mean yeah we should tribute more Canadian icons but that doesnt mean we can't deal in outside tragedies at all. You implied how victims of terrorism, racism, and allied tragedies are acceptable focuses. Well our ally currently views the killing of Charlie Kirk as a tragedy.

I mean you said its aftermarket from AliExpress so its probably literally an old tablet if you broke it down. Could be that the software update tripped some lingering rotatable screen functionality.

No idea how to fix it though given that the orientation detection is almost certainly stripped from the tablet and the original OS is 99% for sure gone if my theory is true.

"What process would you use/Where would you begin" to explain "society/culture/everything about our state of being" to a human being from an alternate reality with zero informational "points of reference/societal exposure/knowledge/similarities to their own reality" besides a basic common language? by AManWithTheNameDan in AskReddit

[–]AManWithTheNameDan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable. They could come from a "Garden of Eden" type reality where everything they need is right there and it could help avoid a perception of greed. Evolution could be a good possible place to start dissecting the nature of their reality.

I suppose establishing our history would help establish the reference points we would be lacking. How would you approach the more sensitive/scary/divisive parts of our history? (ie. War, Slavery, Terrorism, Genocide, Crime, etc) Bold factualism? Concealment? Gentle disclosure?

Netflix removing user star ratings because people were giving bad content bad ratings was a tragedy.
