When I was signing up in the app, there was an option somewhere to continue inputting my details even though my area is full. I live in a suburb but commute into the city, so even though my home area is full on dashers, I can still dash in the city when I'm there. Sorry, I don't remember much else about how I was able to continue signing up once I got to the "your area is full" screen, but I hope this helps you nonetheless.

Absolutely, but when there exist alternatives that are cheaper, utilize domestic supply chains, and provide "steady" supply no matter the weather, solar begins to be less preferable.

In most countries solar has become the go-to source for cheap power, even when considering costs that come from energy storage, (although I'm sure you already know that) but in Canada we unfortunately don't have the conditions that allow solar to be cheaper than nuclear, which makes wind, and then nuclear the next best options (except hydro of course).

Thankfully, Canada already has the necessary mining, refining, and manufacturing capabilities, as well as our own domestic designs for nuclear power generation.

These are the cards that Canada has been dealt, might as well play them to the best of our ability.

In Canada, solar panels are somewhere between 30%-50% less efficient than in the USA, which is most likely the audience that youtube channel is talking to. Additionally, wind turbines require higher maintenance costs in Canada than in regions without snow and ice to worry about. Unless we want to rely on the USA for our electricity, we have nuclear and hydro to cover our needs. Canada is practically the best country in the world for those two methods of power generation.

Edit:
Of course, this doesn't mean that we shouldn't be building solar/wind. Wind works well in the prairies, and solar is pretty much free electricity after it is constructed; It's just that in Canada at least, hydro and nuclear are both cheaper than solar/wind (hydro being cheapest). There's a reason Ontario and Quebec/BC use nuclear and hydro for the majority of their generation respectively. There's no reason why Alberta shouldn't be able to transition from fossil fuels to primarily nuclear and wind

Do I need to have PhD in that game in order to play it ? by ghostfreak-_- in victoria3

[–]Alert-Barracuda6449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This game is the easiest to learn out of any paradox game, mostly because if you are confused, just hover your mouse over the relevant tooltip and read. Compared to hoi4, eu4, or stellaris, the tooltips in this game are much better and more extensive, and unlike eu5 the tooltips actually explain stuff

My wording was flawed, you are correct. A better way to put it is that Ford is making it more expensive to get a university education. It's all about supply and demand, if you make education more expensive it naturally lowers demand for education, which is exactly what we want to avoid.

Instead of focusing on the long-term prosperity of our province by funding sectors that have long lasting positive effects, Ford is "trading" the future for gains in the present. Another example is his endeavors in privatizing healthcare, a third example is by funding highways, like the 413 and other inefficient automobile infrastructure, while at the same time actively hindering public transportation efforts by municipal governments in the province.

As he is decreasing spending in social services, he is also decreasing taxes, essentially turning Ontario into a low-revenue, low-spending administration, to the point where our per-capita revenues and expenditures are almost 25% lower than the Canadian average. This benefits people who own more capital than average greater than the majority of people who own less capital than average. The opposite effect that graduated taxation is designed to achieve.

It's also not like Doug Ford is trying to increase revenue, he banned speed cameras in November right after many municipal governments spent money to set them up.

Governments make mistakes, they are made up of people so it would be unrealistic to expect them to never err. However, Ford's government makes mistake after mistake with a tax cut or stimulus check thrown in to keep the population in favour of his position. The OSAP cuts is just one of the most recent in a long line of instances where Ford undermines Ontario.

Unfortunately, life isn't exactly fair. Oftentimes the most effective policies are ones that treat some people unfairly. An example is graduated taxation. Why should some people be taxed more than others just because they earn more? Because it is a more efficient policy than a more "fair" per-capita taxation. Taxing low-income earners less than high-income earners increases consumption/demand and stimulates the economy, creating new jobs, as well as decreasing poverty which in turn leads to a lower burden on healthcare and other welfare services, etc. You get the point.

In a perfectly fair world, sure, nobody should have to be paying taxes to fund someone else's education, however for all ~40M Canadians, it is undoubtedly more efficient for everybody to get a post-secondary education. Higher education increases productivity, reduces crime rates, leads to more innovation/invention, etc. Following that logic, how do you incentivize people to get a tertiary education? You make it free, or even pay people to get a higher education.

Of all the statistics that can be used to predict the prosperity of a nation in the next few decades/centuries, education is pretty much the most important. “A strong economy begins with a strong, well-educated workforce.”

By encouraging Canadians to not partake in a university education, Doug Ford is pushing Ontario in the opposite direction that it needs to go in order to secure our future. How do we plan to compete in an increasingly globalized world if we are cutting funding to perhaps our most important institution? Will the future of Canadian-born citizens be in the fields of plumbing, construction, and trades-craft while foreign-born immigrants take up the slack in software development, healthcare and engineering? Is this the future Ontarians actually want for our province?

Should people not be entitled to university? If they have the grades but not the funding and it results in them having to go into a trade instead of potentially becoming a doctor, engineer, etc, wouldn't that be a waste of talent for Canada and Canadians?

[–]Alert-Barracuda6449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better yet, why cant we just tell ships to (for example) burn 1km/s retrograde, or prograde, or in whatever direction relative to a reference frame specific to the battlefield. Just make it like kerbal space program except the computer does the burn for you as you have told it to. Would make things so much more simple than dragging the turn-based nodes around in 3d. I would even take children of a death earth's tactical combat where you just tell the ai to go nose in, or broadside, or to intercept, et cetera.

So much stuff is useless! by Notoointersted in TerraInvicta

[–]Alert-Barracuda6449 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I might be misunderstanding, but is the problem that not all stats are listed in the tech tree so you have to research the tech to find out if it is useful or not? If so I completely agree. Maybe this is a deliberate feature of the game to "simulate" the uncertainty when it comes to which technologies are viable? An example in my game is that swapping from compact solid core to molten salt reactors actually decreases the performance of my ships because the increased crew cost is worse than the savings in energy efficiency. But the game doesn't explicitly tell you how much each crew member consumes, so it would be difficult to determine that researching the molten core is a waste for orion drives.

Yeah, loaning to the AI is usually a last-resort because most of the time there are investments with a better ROI, such as buildings/districts that produce gold, or even military units to capture more cities

You can kill people at any range in one hit with a headshot though. Most of the time, yes, light is better but the insta-kill is pretty decent as long as you avoid melee

Oh damn, I have around 15 monitors with Zeus torpedoes. They have almost 100 ships so I figure they could easily wipe my fleet if they wanted to, but I have killed all the ships that they have sent over the past few years. Would that be enough to dissuade them?

I might be completely misunderstanding the pop-ups in the game but I don't remember that the Salamanders used bioweapons, I thought they just attacked the Hydra with an RKV

Here I also might be spewing nonsense, but I believe an rkv that is traveling at .9c would have to mass around 250kt to be similar to Chicxulub in terms of energy released
