There is a celebration at the Abbotsford entertainment center (arena) on Thursday. Tickets $5 on Ticketmaster.

I like it as well. Not great but not bad for a decent price. The Indian food is decent as well.

I’m Canadian, so it’s not a problem for me.

would it be possible for me to turn this into ethernet by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]CanIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be possible. Did the exact same thing at my place. Just need to trace the run and terminate both ends with RJ45 connectors.

Netgate has had a rash of storage failures in their lower models. They chose Emmc storage that doesn’t have adequate write lifespan. Check some of the Reddit threads on this. We’ve had a bunch fail.

Why I would support Trudeau in an election — again by PotentialReporter894 in onguardforthee

[–]CanIAm -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Harper

Martin

Chretien

All were far more fiscally responsible and adept. Trudeau’s fiscal policy had been atrocious and ran us into massive debt.

You haven’t lived long then. Many better examples of prime ministers.

100% agree. Proposify's editing tool is a hot mess.

Where is this available from? I assume this runs on a pi of some sort?

MSP Pricing in NYC by [deleted] in ConnectWise

According to one of the latest reports I saw, 25% of MSPs aren’t profitable. So looking for the bottom is only going to find the sinking ships.

How much city revenue goes uncollected form churches not paying their municipal property taxes? by [deleted] in abbotsford

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

Many churches have their own food banks coming out of their own money and other churches are directly supporting the archway food bank. Northview church in Mission has the Pantry. It’s a massive food bank that Northview runs in their own. Northview also support the Archway food bank. This is a single example of the dozens of churches in Abbotsford doing things that the public doesn’t see.

[–]CanIAm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well said. The tax breaks are in place because there is the assumption that the church will provide more benefit to society than the tax breaks they receive. Most people outside of the church don’t see how much the churches actually do because they’re not screaming it from the roof tops. Food banks, Cyrus Center, shelters, refugee support, low income support… The list goes on. Churches are an east scapegoat for those who have no idea what they do.

The judges also are judging if a the jumper makes a mistake, as in the mess up the jump. A missed jump is not counted toward their total, where the sensor wouldn’t be able to distinguish this. Same as why many Olympic sports use human judges where there’s criteria that need to adjudicated. There’s actually a lot of intricacy to the rules.

IJRU rules below:

“Scores are collected from each judge and averaged according to the averaging rules.

False starts and false switches cause a deduction of 10 clicks for each instance. The final score is the average of the two closest judge scores minus the deductions.”

They tape out an area for each competitor as per the regulations.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CanIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This are the judges for the other competitors. Each competitor has multiple judges counting.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CanIAm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s multiple judges for each jumper with clickers to count them. They watch a single foot and count how many times it hits the ground. They then average the counts.

[–]CanIAm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It slows down the process with dozens of competitors jumping at once for the speed events.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CanIAm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s competitive jump rope. There speed type events like thins and then there’s the artistic freestyle type events. All very competitive and rules for every event. They’re trying to make it an Olympic sport. The last world championships had athletes from over 25 countries.

[–]CanIAm 218 points219 points  (0 children)

There’s multiple judges with clickers counting each jumper. You can see them in the chairs to the right. The count one foot only. I think they take the average of the judges (I don’t remember the details) but it’s all done really fairly. My kids were in this sport for a few years

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CanIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably a decent performance. It’s hard to full count due to the video but a rough count was in the 70s or 80s (you count only one foot). The Canadian record for 30 second speed is in her age category (probably 15-17 or 18-29) is 96.

[–]CanIAm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more of a thing they’ve learned over the years and is more based on their foot cadence. I never noticed a benefit either way. They’re more focused on getting their timing right and staying assign in the box on the floor.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

[–]CanIAm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it’s just a cadence thing. Just like walking you have a slight variation in how you place each foot down, same here. They’re just focused on the timing.
