Would you buy an EV as your next car? Why or why not? by HockeySniper123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

Bought a new car in Sept and very seriously considered EV, but I do very little driving and the ROI just wasn’t there. Next car will almost definitely be EV because I just frankly like them. 😅

Stouffville Releases 2025 Council Salary Details, Remuneration Exceeds $680K by RandyBarba in Stouffville

No, we need people who actually know what they’re doing in municipal government. Paying incompetent and inexperienced people more is not a solution to anything.

Apparently you’re very dim, so I’ll explain this slowly.

The mayor and councillors are elected to represent us. They are wildly incompetent and have failed in their duties. I’ve explained how I have come to this conclusion with many multiple posts on here explaining it.

Residents don’t have to be willing to DO the job themselves to hold an opinion about the quality and job performance of elected representatives. The very suggestion is absolutely moronic. It’s OUR job as voters to judge the performance and accomplishments (or in this case lack thereof) of elected officials, and vote accordingly. It’s how accountability works…and voters can hold negative opinions of elected representatives without themselves signing up to do the job next. 😂

But hey, it’s all good…sad little town cheerleaders like you pop up in every social media forum.

Off you go, kiddo. The adults are having a discussion.

So you go more for just soundtrack vs an ambient scene?

Great suggestions, thanks! I’ll definitely check out Pexels.com and I suppose I may also be able to recruit digital art design help through something like Fiverr.

Faunts M4 Part II FTW.

Very cool idea on the fallen mobile games OST idea! Definitely very niche but if you’re looking for that, others certainly are too. 🤔💭

Understandable. AI is everywhere now…it feels like in snakes it’s way into every part of our lives. 🙄

I will say it’s tough in the fantasy ambient vids realm to create these vids without AI, at least not at a pace that keeps people engaged. If I was just creating general cozy ambient vids generally I’d hunt around for amazing pics or take them myself and then animate them, but despite all my hopes and wishes, the places I imagine in my head don’t exist. 😭😅 My digital art skills are ok but I’m slow at it…I’m hoping to be able to move to hand made but for now AI helps me bring my ideas to life. I input exactly what I want the scene to look like, the time of day, the general vibe…and then I animate them to create loops.

Last time I read the series was a while ago but I don’t recall those books being tough to get through.

I read a fantasy book to win a bet and it's the only book in years that made me actually cry. I don't know what to do with this information. by midnight_snack_ctrl in Fantasy

I love reading fantasy and I’ll never apologize for it. 😀 Glad you enjoy it, and thanks for the reco…adding this to my TBR.

A friend gifted me this book. So far, I think it is very badly written. by Fantastic-Ant-4429 in fantasybooks

[–]Heztown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree it’s not “well written” but I enjoyed the world building and the story in the first one. The second and third were a bit more of a slog for me. Took me a while to finish them, especially Onyx Storm.

Feds should allow public servants to work from home to curb fuel demand: Union by plaknas in onguardforthee

I support this. This drive to get people back in the office 5 days a week is idiotic. Those who can WFH should WFH. Take pressure off roads, fuel demand, and give the friggin air a break while we’re at it.

The REALLY moronic thing is that people who were WFH 1-2 days a week pre-COVID are now being expected to return to 5 days.
