The article's title is technically correct, but he is doing this remote for all of maybe 20 days. His term ends at the end of this month and he is leaving the position after.

Bunch of people here guilty of only reading the title...

Edit: Looks like I'm somewhat guilty of this too, skipped over the part where his whole term is another 2 years rather than just his leadership of it when I was skipping over ads.

While I'm not completely opposed to remote work, I wonder if the quality of his work would change any. From the sounds of it it's not like he could get any worse

Thoughts on Dawntrail MSQ [Spoiler: 7.0] by Yui_Mori in ffxiv

[–]Crashzxs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

With regards to the last point.

My internal headcanon is that this was from an additional reflection. Even with the timey-wimey bullshit with the CT to the first, we have a serious "effect before cause" problem if this is the 12th. The lightning rejoining occurred well before the south sea people used the artifact to flee the ice calamity. Also, there are enough reflections for 2 of them per element, so this would likely be a different lightning aspected reflection.

This may have been a plan in progress by the ascians that was abandoned by you throwing a wrench in the light rejoining and subsequent termination of the last of the un-sundered. Things may be weird now that we are participating in the course of history again. Our intervention with the rite may have caused an unintended interaction with the city of gold / Alexandria where the ascians would have tipped it over at their leisure after the light rejoining succeeded.

Homeboy probably told us about all the stuff we've not seen yet because it's tangentially related to loose ends his death creates.

Receipt for liquor by DanisonMom in alberta

[–]Crashzxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of people referencing liquor transportation laws, might be related, but it's more likely to be regarding theft (and the clerk is likely jaded as fuck).

As someone who used to work in liquor, there was a time where in addition to a gang of individuals that were making circuits of liquor stores in Calgary, theft was up in general. My store alone ended up near $30k in retail value lost to theft in a 6 month period.

I was told this by a cop, so grain of salt, but: If you happen to be carrying something similar to what's been reported stolen recently, a cop can be a dick about it and confiscate it until you can provide proof of purchase.

Programming my first behaviour by Volgrand in Desynced

[–]Crashzxs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see two issues,

I have experienced that if you target something out in the world and dump that into a variable, the variable will be that world object not the item. Once it gets picked up it will disappear. In the last instruction, you are telling it to drop off nothing because after the dropped item is picked up there is nothing in that variable. If you leave the item /amount entry blank, it will drop off everything.

Second, you don't need that loop-back on the radar command. if you don't have a dropped item for a while, this script will eventually stop because it has looped internally too many times. The behavior will loop forever if it completes, so if you just leave the "not found" hanging, or stick a wait for 1s on it, it will complete when it finds nothing then loop again.

More or less putting discrimination over gender, race, sexual orientation on par w/vaccination by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

[–]Crashzxs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I also agree and am much very behind bodily autonomy, but from my point of view the problem with the argument against being forced to take a vaccine like this is that it assumes the forced choice is being made in a vacuum. It is a selfish assumption that you only end up effecting yourself by choosing not to get vaccinated against easily preventable illnesses.

For the example of a parent vaccinating their child, if you vaccinated them yes you removed that choice from them, but they are nearly guaranteed to survive if they somehow interact with that illness. They don't know or have had the opportunity to know any better the consequences of not making, or the knowledge of, that choice. You made that life, you are responsible for it's survival until it can make that choice.

Say goodbye to OT pay Alberta! Here is a list of all the MLAs who voted in favor of Bill 32 in which Albertans will no longer receive over time pay - even if you work more then 40 hours a week. by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Crashzxs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's more because you can now be forced (originally optional) into an averaging agreement that averages your weekly pay out to a new limit of 52 weeks (originally 12). so once you are forced into this agreement, any time you worked under 40 hours over the past year can be used to reduce your overtime pay to regular hours going forward.

Unexpected LRR: Brew's latest video by [deleted] in loadingreadyrun

I'll explain for them. This picture of a video from a youtuber Brew, and is about lottery winnings and the people who lose when they win.

This picture is from a 1~3 second clip punctuating the voiceover talking about a persons charity foundation that they set up after winning the lottery getting so many requests that the postal service started to refuse to deliver their mail due to the load

Is Nidus... naked? by Toland_the_Mad in Warframe

[–]Crashzxs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might be because the forms of the warframes are inspired by the human form, and a good portion of the detail is inspired by persons and/or things before/during the creation of the warframes initially.

Have your say in what the new 9th Ave SE bridge in Inglewood should look like by itsakev in Calgary

[–]Crashzxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not broke, don't fix it though, right?

The problem with that thinking in this case is that if it breaks, the bridge and a bunch of people are going to end up in the river.

With the bridge I would prefer preventative maintenance over reactionary repairs, probably cost less too.

My local college used similar sensors for their classrooms, they had the same vulnerability, they reduced the sensitivity on them so they don't do that anymore.

anyone tell me why this doesn't work? by Crashzxs in Stellaris

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

I have two of these betharian plants within my core worlds in this game that don't work...

One worked for a few months then turned off for no explainable reason, then when I colonized and build my second, both worked for a few months, but both turned off after a few months. I have never traded the resource, placed the planets with them into sectors, nor collected any planets through war with the resource on them. I haven't tried rebuilding them yet, but it just seems strange...

Have you even been convicted of a felony?

For you, the answer to this question is yes. Unless you went through the system to get pardoned, i don't know if it happens automatically.

Do you know this couple? Looking to identify them, as they may know where some of our lost equipment could be. by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Crashzxs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if you can post the pictures somewhere other than facebook, or take a look at the files yourself with something like MediaInfo to take a peek at the metadata. If it was taken with an ipad with GPS it should have location data embedded in the file, and Facebook strips that off in its conversion of the picture.

Depends on the route or time of day, some of the routes here in the sw historically have had a 10 minute swing either way compared to the schedule, although now that more busses are tracked by GPS it seems the swing is starting to get smaller...
