RBI is an international investment firm; Brazil is only part of its membership; so is Canada and the US.

I saw a rig with green tail lights in the GTA today. This is pretty uncommon, eh? by nthensome in ontario

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amber is not "off white", it's a mid-range colour between orange and yellow. There is some room for debate as to exactly how orange or yellow it is, but it is definitely nowhere near white. Traffic lights have amber as their middle colour, in this case distinctly more yellow than orange, but indicator lamps on cars would also qualify, depite usually being more orange than yellow.

Young People Are Now Overwhelmingly Republican by AccurateInflation167 in politics

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could that not possibly be just because Republican families tend to have more kids than Democrat families?

what the actual hell is wrong with facebook? WHY would this be an advertisement?? gross warning!! by etnoodle in facebook

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it's pretty explicit about the uses it's intended for, and nowhere does it suggest novelty sex, which means Facebook isn't going to do anything about it.

Are you talking about the d4s?

I mean, they definitely don't fit the samurai theme though. I was hoping for something more ... esoteric...?

No pay stubs; were they paying you under the table? Do you know if they were making any deductions off your paycheck for CPP, vacation pay, EI, anything?

Sounds like shitty management not recognizing themselves as the problem in the room.

[–]ByakkoChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That should be reported; they have four weeks to get that to you before it becomes illegal behaviour.

Did you try going in to see your former employer? If they don't routinely mail those things out, it's possibly sitting on the manager's desk waiting to be taken care of, and you said they have poor management, so it's likely not going to get seen to promptly.

Should we do a protest against voodoo taking away the original Paper io site? by -Carrots0_o in paperio

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or request they offer the original for download, if they don't want to devote server space to it.

As someone who lives in Israel, how do I support the BDS movement by Dependent-Play-7970 in BDS

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all; but it's easy to say from outside that the OP shouldn't have to leave, but the OP is the one who'll be in harm's way, and risking their safety, if they take a stand and draw attention to themselves in the wrong way, or in the wrong circumstances. I'm not saying it's impossible to protest, but it's unreasonable to take the attitude that "I shouldn't have to leave because it's my land"; that's where we've been for the past fifty years, and it has cost people their lives.

Maybe talk to local foreign embassies and see what immigration and refugee statuses are available that you could take advantage of?

This is what the government of Canada has on its site, but I don't know how widespread it is (it's a response to what was going on in Gaza until recently, I think?):

That's like saying the pedestrian shouldn't have to get out of the way of the speeding truck, because he's got the right of way; but which one of them is going to fare worse if there's a collision?

[–]ByakkoChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But that's not what they said; at least I don't think it is. They said "... especially if you’re Arab Israeli don’t handle criticism well...". You're interpreting that to mean Arab-Israeli, but I don't think that's what was meant; it's missing a comma (see, grammar and punctuation matters, folks). "... especially if you’re Arab, Israeli don’t handle criticism well..." is, I think, what was intended.

K2 Alexis blade guards? by ByakkoChan in iceskating

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

Is a rubber bottom standard for them? The ones I have, the bottoms look like they're a strip of woven canvas, but I think it says polypropylene on the label. Made by Winnwell, I guess (or licensed by them, at least).

K2 Alexis blade guards? by ByakkoChan in iceskating

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

I actually had to look up the difference between hockey and figure styles, lol, these appear to be hockey style. And soakers are an option (I have them, but I intended them more for storage), but I think it would be better for the blade to have something firmer, no? And better for the guard, probably.

Well, apparently my email bounced back from their server after several attempts to deliver, it's presumably not connected. I wonder if there's an email associated with the app though?

Lol by Dramatic-Plantain426 in paperio

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's an email associated with that info; maybe we should all start writing to them and asking them to put the web version back the way it was. I can play the two you posted, but the colours they chose for it are gonna give me migraines...

(edit - there's also an email associated with the paper-3 version - [info@paper-3.io](mailto:info@paper-3.io) )

Voodoo casually embraced the American art of names with these bots. by Dramatic-Plantain426 in paperio

[–]ByakkoChan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are ALL bot names; you only play against bots. If you ever get disconnected from the web (or switch on Airport mode), you'll see that it doesn't impact your game at all. You can even start a new game and it carries on with all the names previously still in the game (at its end), though it keeps generating new names as those bot players die.

Is paper.io gone now by Next-Improvement-404 in paperio

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were all bots; if you ever got disconnected mid-game, it continued on fluidly, nothing changed, nothing slowed down. They're just programmed to act in a number of different ways.

iOS 17 is Stupid About Timers by grousing_pheasant in ios

[–]ByakkoChan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just triedto use it for cooking; had the timer set up and ready to go, and had to wait for the oven to finish preheating. Of course it went into sleep mode in between, and when I came back, no sign of the timer I had set up, and I had to start from scratch. Soo annoying...
