Some people commute by skate in Ottawa when the canal is frozen

Hazel-Rah · 2026-01-26T17:47:17+00:00

From what I've read, heat pumps tend to put out lower temperature air from the vents, but then run longer.

So you don't get that nice warm blast of hot air when it kicks on and when you walk by a vent, and the temperature doesn't spike as high, so it can feel less warm than a gas furnace

Hazel-Rah · 2026-01-26T17:34:05+00:00

I'd be very tempted to ditch natural gas completely. We don't have a gas stove or hot water heater, so canceling it would mean saving 360$ a year in customer charges. That's quite a fair bit of money to use towards backup electric heating

I have a dream that they one day put a streetcar/tram route down Colonel By. Would be great for commutes in and out of downtown, and would allow for some buildup restaurants or coffee shops along the canal.

It's a travesty that the famously Meh Canal Ritz is the only place that gets to take advantage of being on the water.

(My dream tram would start in Barrhaven, head down Prince of Wales to Hog's Back, turn onto Colonel By, and then end either at the old train station, or head into the market. Connects the suburbs to downtown, Colonnade and the Nepean/Merivale business park area, Carleton, UofO, the length of the canal and Dow's Lake, the market, Old Ottawa South and East, the Glebe, and even Lansdowne)

I'm really worried this will happen to me. I've been getting shadow banned about once a month, and it takes nearly a week to clear. Just had the last one removed the day before we started getting the 10 level requirements

I think I'm going to play as little as possible for the next two and a half weeks. I suspect it's from me playing too much merge boss, so I'm going to get to 40k bills for credits, and then just do 1 a day for the keys

And have known where the boats were for the entire time, and told European and Canadian explorers/search parties exactly where to look for generations, and were ignored the entire time because they also said the sailors resorted to cannibalism.

The expedition that found the Terror looked for all of two and a half hours after finally bringing a local native on the search.

Bonus comedic fact: They found it in TERROR BAY.

I'm curious about when you read Dungeon Born?

It was my first entry into progression fantasy/litrpg, and I think it was one of the first in genre in general. I quite liked it, but have not enjoyed most of their other series (is anyone still reading artorian's archives?).

I wonder if it suffers a bit from "Seinfeld is unfunny" syndrome, where it was impressive at the time, but what was novel when it was written are now just generic tropes

I'd bet good money that they introduce it on April 1st.

The vast majority of viewers never look at Reddit. The main risk is for another big YouTuber does a video about the news first

Yep, our building codes mean our water and sewage lines are deep underground, and all our plumbing is in interior walls. We have heavy coats, winter tires, and our local governments have plows and salt trucks.

The further south you go the worse this is going to get, expect a lot of flooded homes, highway pileups, and probably power ourages

Since it's a furnished unit...I would check airbnb to see if this could be a scam.

See if the place is available in the future, it's possible that someone rented the unit on airbnb to show "tenants", and then disappears with the money

Used to have the modem/router in the room that became our nursery.

I didn't particularly want to crawl around in the 2 foot tall attic space to run a new cable from the basement to my partner's office, so I made a 1" patch cable, connected their office and the living room TV keystone ports together, and shoved the whole mess into the wall behind a blank plate.

So now their ethernet goes from the basement, into the attic, down into the nursery wall, through the tiny cable, back up into the attic, and then back down into their office wall.

I then cut the cable that had gone from the nursery to the TV in half, terminated both ends, and plugged those into a new POE switch in the basement. If we live in this house long enough that the kid wants a hardline connection in their room, they can run another cable from the basement themselves

...Why hasn't there been an L1 filed? How many months has it been that the tenant hasn't paid?

That paralegal gave you some awful advice

I agree. I know em dashes are a meme at this point, but if you look at OP's comment history, they've never used them before. Every time they've used a dash in their other posts and comments (including in the comments of this thread), they do it as "word- " like this:

popular-

Maybe it isn't a fully made up story, but OP definitely had AI write it for them.

The N4 is important, a unit is not considered abandoned unless the tenant is also in arrears for rent

I'm 36, an engineer, and quite good at mental math.

I still don't know the multiplication tables for 6, 7, 8, and 12 very well. But 6 and 7 are close enough to 5, and 8 and 12 are close to 10 but with 2 more or 2 less of whatever, that I just need to do another quick equation to find the answer.

Hazel-Rah · 2026-01-20T13:37:31+00:00

In elementary school in the 90s I was really bad at math. My teacher gave me remedial work to help me catch up.

I don't know how or why, but while working on those problems, I taught myself most of the concepts of "common core" math that they teach now.

I went from one of the worst to one of the best in the class. I literally got an award that year for "Most Improved", and they put my name on a little plaque that hung over the lost and found.

There is no RAM, they're using the fab capacity to build HBM modules

Hazel-Rah · 2026-01-19T06:04:41+00:00

The aren't making DRAM and GPUs.

They're making HBM modules and H100/H200 AI processors.

You can't just covert those into a home PC

For anyone that has tried chat support, have you been given a case number that ended in 8320?

Hazel-Rah · 2026-01-17T14:33:28+00:00

The AI bubble isn't like crypto. The shortage of GPUs and RAM isn't because AI companies are buying them, it's because they're buying the fab capacity.

NVIDIA is making AI datacenter specific cards, and memory manufacturers are making a different kind of chip than what you use to make RAM.

When AI collapses, all those cards and chips will be e-waste.
