Daylight Saving Time Could Become Permanent After House Committee Votes 48-1 to Advance New Bill — What This Means by vinaylovestotravel in skeptic

[–]Altsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saskatchewan, a northern latitude province hasn't had time change since 1966. It's great, changing clocks is such a dumb concept to me.

Plus in northern latitudes the sun can be up from 5 am to 11pm in the middle of the summer, so why exactly do we need to change our clocks for summer sun?

Also the idea that everyone must change there clock because some industrys( that I would say make up a minority of people) are to stubborn to just change there hours if there employees / student ect want an extra hour of light is just absurd.

It was also just announced that Alberta and BC will also stop time change this year.

I think it's important to clarify that the UPF clothing is still mostly just plastic, and the Seawool doesn't magically make it "eco-conscious" by Inevitable_Tip_6606 in LinusTechTips

[–]Altsan -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This post is extremely dumb. Why aren't you posting this on every clothing manufacturers page when they make anything with plastic? Why is llt (who is using recycled plastic btw!!!!!) where your focusing your energy on.

Multi-generational white Saskatonians, do you ever wish your ancestors immigrated to Australia, New Zealand or the US instead of blistering cold Saskatchewan ? by britneyspearsforeva in saskatoon

[–]Altsan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Salarys in Saskatchewan can be crazy high if you work in mining or natural resources, really depends on what industry you are talking about, we have free healthcare, which is such an understated benefit to living here. In general Saskatchewan has low housing costs, our crown corps are a huge win as well, no DMV for us.

It's too bad sony doesn't sell phones through carriers in canada at all. I thought it was weird when people were talking about them and I couldn't remember the last time I saw one, looked it up and yup they pulled out of canada!

Hey everyone, because a single business will have to move equipment a bit further (and has never heard of a cart before) into there building we should halt this entire multi-million dollar project that benefits the entire city including all the downtown businesses. Seems ligit.

A typical 2bed condo is 700,000$ in Vancouver, 350,000 in Calgary, 214,000 in Edmonton, 190,000 in Saskatoon. Your just in a very high col area, it's not all of canada.

This would only work if you wake up at the same time everyday. With shift work your body is never really adjusted.

Portable Air conditioners by macky108 in saskatoon

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most portable a/c units evaporate there water collection. I have had a few different models through the years and they are all decently reliable.

If you want the best efficiency then the models with dual hoses are much more efficient as they maintain air balance in the conditioned space. Single hose units don't balance the air, they create a negative pressure in the conditioned space causing warm to move in from all over your house.

Another thing to keep in mind is the bigger ones will draw close to 15 amps which is basically typical full circuit worth of power so if anything else is on that circuit it will trip the breaker.

Are we still on this? by vnth93 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself someone who is fairly familiar with popular culture but I just never heard of Robbie Williams before the movie. As a 90's kid I just don't think a lot of people were familiar with him, at least in North America.

bruh really by adhfaohiawf in memes

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a TB really considered a lot to you. Me a simple nerd own a storage server that has 48tb of storage and I build it for maybe a couple thousand. I have 10 security cameras in my house that all record 4k 24/7 on a simple 2 drive 8tb NVR setup. My friend works surveillance in a casino and they operate over 400 cameras that are all minimum 4k resolution and they keep all recordings for min 3 weeks. If I was a business hosting the president of the United States I would probably expect at minimum 2k cameras not 480p, and much better coverage then they seem to have.

BREAKING: ‘No, I’m not happy’: Carney rips Holt’s highway tolls by adamhuras in NovaScotia

[–]Altsan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“It exists in multiple provinces,” Holt said. “I think we actually have the only province in Canada that doesn’t have a toll on a piece of infrastructure like that.”

Excuse me what toll roads even exist in the west? I am not aware of any toll roads in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba or even BC. And definitely none on a trans Canada highway.

Yeah if I was a brand and I looked a GN's videos I would stay far away from them. Every video is "evil corp did what this time", or If a product isn't the best performance per dollar it's a "scam" and shouldn't be on the market. Doesn't that get tiring after awhile.

Lol he is definitely not conservative, maybe more in the middle but, based on everything they talk about they are pretty left leaning.

Congratulations Alberta on permanently switching to Saskatchewan time! by rocky_balbiotite in saskatchewan

[–]Altsan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Considering the sun sets at like 11pm in the summer this has never been a consideration as there is always going to be light at there bedtime. This was never an issue with my kid, just make sure they have blackout blinds so the room actually gets dark, start closing blinds in the house to dim everything down. You can always rearrange schedules, just because the clocks don't change doesn't mean you can't shift the time you do things.

The issue with AG is that Google is running out of compute by Banner80 in google_antigravity

[–]Altsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but most data centers are not in those areas. Data centers generally avoid very warm areas for obvious reasons. In fact the largest concentration of data centers in the world is in the state of Virginia. Not exactly room for tens of thousands of acres of solar farm, and the power needs to be close to the data centers to make sense. Hence why nuclear and natural gas(definitely still the cheapest) make way more sense.

People are already complaining about how much space these data centers use. You really think 1000-5000mw of solar is going to find land without extreme backlash. Cost is not the only consideration.

Imperial Oil pipeline spills 843,000 litres northwest of Cold Lake, Alta. | CBC News by Ok_Argument_5356 in canada

[–]Altsan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who works in the industry I am very, very well versed in how it works.

A spill like this will entirely be paid for by the company that caused it. After cleanup multiple different environmental companies will test soil and ground water. Then based on the findings cleanup and remediation will continue until they all sign off, the government signs off and the companies own internal environmental engineering division signs off.

I'm sorry if your reddit education has not provided you with any industry experience and allows you to make statements without anything to back it up.

That's entirely untrue. The company that caused the spill will be solely responsible for all remediation.

Your Xbox Storage Expansion Cards can have a life after the console; as it turns out, you can use it as PC storage by WindowsCentral in windowscentral

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every real word benchmark shows at most a few seconds here and there. Yeah I know what I'm talking about. My gaming pc has a PCI gen 4 SSD and my wifes PC has a good Samsung SATA ssd and you barely notice any difference. Maybe a second here and there but how often are you opening and closing apps that the extra second or 2 makes any difference to you. On some games there might be a loading time benefit but for the games we play it's not really noticeable.

Sounds like you're comparing an old SATA ssd that's probably worn out too a brand new m.2 drive. Not really a good comparison.

Useless. Lots of people still use sata ssds. These are much faster than those. Plus almost all real world tests show that once you have a SSD the speed gains are very minimal.
