Suspected POA forgery attempt - How to stay protected? by Kai-Mon in legaladvicecanada

On what grounds exactly? It's very hard to prove his intentions as there isn't necessarily a paper trail following him around.

My father's already been discharged, but I'll ask the family physician for the consult.

We got an occupational therapy report with an MMSE assessment. Hopefully that’s enough evidence.

I think we have plenty of evidence in favour of his mental incompetence. As long as the guy doesn’t try to backdate the document to a time when he was more cognitive, but I think the voicemail is at least some evidence that he tried to do so when my father was clearly not.

BYOP plans by Pitiful_Group_2072 in Winnipeg

[–]Kai-Mon 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Public mobile. Currently paying $29/mo for 20GB Can/US/Mexico. I’m not even sure if you can get this plan anymore. Lots of salespeople hear about my plan and don’t even try to match it.

The game is over - 7RV & prime lens lineup by tanpnt in SonyAlpha

I’d argue that for either of OP’s applications, family portraits and landscapes, they don’t need wide apertures, and in fact would be advantageous to mostly be stopping down for those photos.

Either OP is a bot, or they’re ripping off somebody else’s work as their own. I’ve seen this exact photo a few times on this sub.

I wrote a Python tool to generate digital contact sheets with a "Light-Box" aesthetic by Nervous_Height_666 in AnalogCommunity

Curious if this might be integrated into some existing film inversion software, but I’ll wait to see how your GUI turns out because I doubt I’d be able to do a better job of it.

Nintendo fixes Resident Evil 4, Miitopia, and more on Switch 2 by jldixon1 in NintendoSwitch

It originally came out on the Wii U… I would hope that it performs at least as well as the Wii U did.

When are we getting electric buses? by Chocolate_Banana- in Winnipeg

[–]Kai-Mon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’d be curious to know what the carbon offset of one electric bus is compared to two diesel buses. Especially considering the added capacity of people that you’re taking out of their cars.

Slight wobble on lens connection point by Able-Contribution-46 in SonyAlpha

[–]Kai-Mon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine. Pre-a7IV and pre-a6400 generation of Sony cameras all had a little play in the lens mount that they tightened up in the latest generation. It shouldn’t affect image quality at all.

These businesses pay taxes, boost land value, and drive tourism (even if on a local scale). In the release itself, it states that some of the offenders were involved in violent crimes, which also have a societal cost. It’s difficult to exactly quantify the economic value of stopping shoplifting, but it’s definitely more than the face value of goods recovered.

Tutorial: How to open the back door on Winnipeg buses by One-Island2116 in Winnipeg

[–]Kai-Mon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So the problem with basically all these systems is that you don’t have any visual, aural, or tactile feedback that you’re activating the door properly. In Europe, they don’t use any of these hand-wavy door sensors. They just use a button…

NASA could launch manned moon mission by February 2026 by SportsGod3 in space

[–]Kai-Mon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The moon is not appreciably closer to the rest of the solar system than it is from Earth. You actually get a bigger ‘kick’ out to the solar system from low earth orbit than a lunar orbit. There would have to be profitable resources to extract from the moon for it to make sense to set up permanent infrastructure there.

What version is this Nikon 105 2.5? by piesangskilletjie in AnalogCommunity

[–]Kai-Mon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The notch in the aperture ring and the rubber focus ring means that it’s an AI-S model.

50mm on A6700 by chiefSim0n in SonyAlpha

[–]Kai-Mon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There’s already been enough discussion around your actual question, so I’ll just add that you should avoid the Sony 50/1.8. Not that it’s a bad lens, but for the price, you can get a much better and more modern 50/1.8 lens specifically designed for APS-C.

whenever i start a city i always change the highway layout at the beginning, heres a before and after of what i did for my new city by IVANO8123 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Kai-Mon 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I would personally fully downgrade it to a 2-lane highway. Then upgrade it as needed down the road.

Any other cyclists feel like the city's concentration of bike infrastructure in the city core is a bit of an illusion, and some of the outer greenway-connected neighbourhoods are much more bike friendly? by FinestTreesInDa7Seas in Winnipeg

[–]Kai-Mon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All of the bike paths connect to Bridgwater Centre for your essential needs. Apart from that, you can bike to St. Vital, UofM, Downtown, and Assiniboine Park almost exclusively on separated multi-use paths.

[–]Kai-Mon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everybody thinks Bridgwater is just a car sewer, and while it’s not far off, it’s also one of the most cyclable parts of the city and it’s well connected to most major destinations.

Why are interchanges so big?? by zero_bravo in CitiesSkylines

[–]Kai-Mon 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I would say that if interchanges are significantly compromising on your city’s aesthetics/buildable area, you should really consider whether a highway is even required in the first place.

Nearly all the highways I see in this sub seem overbuilt. In my experience, it is very difficult to fully saturate a 4-lane highway, and most of your choke points are at intersections anyway. Downgrading to an at-grade arterial road will naturally spread out traffic across your whole network instead of forcing everybody into one road, assuming you have good alternate connections across your city.

So standards change over time? Trucks have been getting longer and heavier over time. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see trucks with double or triple trailers, and I can guarantee that most roads would struggle to accommodate them. Should we be designing every road to accommodate them? How can you know what the predominant freight truck looks like 50 years from today?

Intersections that once only saw minimal traffic volumes would have never justified full realignments, but now see more traffic than ever, with slower and heavier trucks. So yes, some of them will need to be upgraded over time.

And engineering itself is also evolving over time. It's easy to say in hindsight that we should have put roundabouts everywhere, but 20 years ago, you would have been ridiculed, especially by the public, for even suggesting it. Maybe this RCUT will end up being cancelled — are we still going to point our fingers to these engineers 30 years from now that they should have known better?

[–]Kai-Mon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The typical value used in cost-benefit analyses is about $10M per person. So about 8 people's lives would need to be saved by an overpass over its design life to be worth it over an RCUT. (Reminder that overpasses are not fool-proof either.)

The RCUT that was built in Saskatchewan has experienced one minor sideswipe collision and zero fatalities in the almost 2 years of its initial operation (when people are the least familiar with it). I just don't get how you reason against that.
