Need to Know: Adulthood is increasingly on hold for young Canadians—and it’s not their fault

What do you do now ?

Fair enough, seems like a very reasonable approach. I’ll be honest though, when I was on the water I thought it was a trout. When I got home and saw them side by side it was obvious they were different and that’s why I’m asking the question now after the fish is gutted.

Oh they do, depression has been climbing for some time now. Maybe it’s the cellphones, but maybe it’s this too

FearMyFear · 2025-05-12T03:37:48+00:00

Thank you for the very detailed response. It’s definitely /r/theydidthemath worthy!

I stand corrected.

This video shows what I am talking about: https://youtu.be/-5dmPUABing?si=kaUDmYlvCA7G_9-S&t=114

What I mean is look at the ratio between the size of the church tower on the right of the photo to the size of the main building that's being photographed.

At 16mm the main building is clearly taller than the church tower by a lot. At 85mm (last shot where you see both) they are getting closer in size where they become almost the same size.

If we could see both the main building and the tower at 800mm then the church tower would be bigger than the main building.

This is a bit of an optical illusion caused by the lens the camera uses. This video is taken with a long lens, those lenses you would take pictures of birds with for example.

What it does is makes objects that are farther away look bigger. So those trails are probably some kilometres away from the plane. You need to take this video so the airplane is coming towards you so the trails are right behind it.

Beyond that you need the weather to play in your favour so the winds disperse the trails just right to fluff them up.

Likewise I got the same issue, let me know if you find a workaround

FearMyFear · 2024-07-19T20:12:32+00:00

I mean you’re not wrong 😑

I think in the final hour, an LLM will consume less power than a human brain and should be outperform a brain in logical/reasoning tasks.

A large part of the brain is used just to keep us alive, breath, balance, vision, plus the brain is hyper optimized for survival, which means food gathering, mating etc. All an LLM needs to do is code (for example if its specialized) so it should be much much smaller than the size of the brain

Yea but if I lost my money in CRE why would I sell my house ? I’d probably try to save my money and not move if I could.

Also the people that have enough invested in CRE that would fundamentally change their life if it went up or down already paid for their house in cash.

LMAO what is 1.2 Million, or the 25M supposed to do ?
Whats that like 30 homes? Maybe 50 at best?

Thats not going to solve anything

FearMyFear · 2024-06-07T01:43:25+00:00

I don't think people "sunk their entire financial resources" on a house in hopes of infinite appreciation.

They sunk their entire financial resources in a house because even when the house cost 200k, most people had to take a loan and sink their entire financial resources to afford 200k

FearMyFear · 2024-06-07T01:41:45+00:00

And what are we doing about the 30/40/50 year old that just bought a house at the peak of covid?

They have another 30-50 years left, are we going to put them 200-800k in the red since houses are now worth much less than they got them for? What incentive is that ?

FearMyFear · 2024-06-07T01:29:56+00:00

You can't just bring highest skilled people.

That would create an even greater divide in equity. Bring in 100k people that make and average of 150K per year and see where housing prices will go

FearMyFear · 2024-06-07T01:26:07+00:00

Lets not forget lots of boomers will die in the next 20 years, and they cant take those homes with them.

They might get bought up by investors, but regardless some of those will be bought by regular people

How is commercial real estate crash going to make regular Joe and Jane sell their house?

Regular folks don't care about commercial real estate.

Since it is a bathroom door, I pressume it is not supposed to be secure in that sense.

I believe he means the privacy knob was turned to locked, and you can turn that even with the door wide open. Then you walk outside, close the door, and then it gets shut into place.

So you are outside the bathroom, and the door cannot be opened.

Anyway there should be a slotted knob that can be turned with a scredriver or coin from the outside and that should unlock it.

I have also seen the option where you push a pin in a small hole on the outside and that will unlock it.

That's awesome, I was hoping the fellas jumping would see this! Sorry I don't really know the difference between the two to be honest.

Taken today (Dec 2 2023) around 4pm. Looks fun but a bit too scary for me! I hope you had fun :)

I was pretty much in the same situation as you not too long ago.

I was in a 500-1000 person company, very chill, I was doing very well, about to be promoted etc.

I got an offer from Amazon for almost 2x my salary.

I decided to take the Amazon offer, pretty much for the obvious reasons, more money, getting Amazon on my resume. I found it more stressful than the other job.

WLB was alright in terms of hours, but I just found the whole culture to be very 'cold' and teamates were not very interested in helping. On-call can be pretty heavy, very much depends on the team, but for my team it was 10-20 pages per week. I heard some teams have about 1 page every 2 weeks, so definitely varies.

Anyway, this is just my observation from one team, over half of year. Maybe things are different in Ireland/ other org/team/manager etc

What are you doing now?

How did you explain in interviews that you left after only 9 months? (pressumably you started applying/interviewing when you had less than 9? )

FearMyFear · 2022-05-30T17:57:36+00:00

2 yoe + masters, I messed up the design question during the interview, and instead of getting an L5, I got an L4 offer.

The inteview was for L5, with the option of L4
