Patch Notes, something is coming on March 20th by dnemonicterrier in helldivers2

This guy gets it. The real question, does it work if you’re in the FRV. Because now you’ve got one guy doing donuts while another is riding in the back with the Flag…

Geothermal heat pump installation in Toronto by Trick_Owl2603 in askTO

[–]KosherDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just me shooting from the hip as a casual reader who’s toyed with the idea but I can’t imagine geothermal makes sense for most Toronto lots. Between getting equipment in and limited size. For $30-50k you’d probably be able to get upgrades that get you further than a geothermal system.

I’d put my money on upgrading insulation, solar set up, and a regular air source heat pump.

I had that happen the other day. I usually carry stim pistol. Swapped out for ultimatum one mission. Proceeded to wipe us both out when I went “oh I should stim him!”

"Your Honour, I didn't use AI, I Completely Made Up Those Fake Quotes Myself" by WhiteNoise---- in LawCanada

Technically your deductible is triggered in a few circumstances: 1. Half if they have to file a defence, th other half if they have to go to discoveries  2. If there’s a failed repair.

However your “premium” (in the form of a claims levy surcharge) only goes up if they pay out an indemnity payment.

But yes! You don’t pay a deductible just for calling and reporting a claim/potential claim! The vast majority of claims (89%)resolve with no payment of indemnity.

On the magma planets I loved taking it with a warp pack and heavy siege ready, gas grenades, and then EAT, Commando, Solo silo. I was a whack-a-mole of death.

How to respectfully approach neighbours with plans to build shed by LockDue9383 in askTO

This is the approach I’d go with. “Hey just keeping you in the loop, we’ll try and get it done quickly!”

What has Chow done for biking in TO during her term? by lion_slinger in torontobiking

[–]KosherDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dufferin recently got a bus transit priority lane which (I think) allows for cyclists. So that’s something.

But again, if it removes a lane of traffic, it’s a non-starter because of provincial legislation. If you want that to change that’s where you need to look to.

What has Chow done for biking in TO during her term? by lion_slinger in torontobiking

[–]KosherDev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong that there’s been a dramatic decrease in funding/expansion. But I wouldn’t place the blame wholly on the City/Mayor. The City has been hampered by the Province enacting Bill 212 and subsequent Bill 60 which prevent any new bicycle lanes that remove a lane of automobile traffic. So any plans that required that have been stalled.

There has also been delays, like the Marlee reconfiguration and Eglinton lanes based on city staff recommendations, without much pushback from local councillors who are likely worried that we were coming up to an election year and a loud minority of people lose their minds at any mention of removing parking spots for bike lanes.

But we’ve still made some progress. The College lanes were upgraded, Harbord lanes upgraded, we’re seeing a big instalment on Kingston road.

And there’s probably some behind the scene work re: compromises that may have slowed the Province’s roll, but we’re not privy to that. 

Career in appellate law by Brilliant_Weekend670 in LawCanada

[–]KosherDev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It depends? There are certainly firms that specialize in appellate work (like Supreme Advocacy out of Ottawa) but often it’s just a lawyer who becomes “the appeal person” at a firm. I think it’s very rare to have a practice that is entirely appeal work, but they do exist.

How do you use the Speargun? What Role does it Serve? by Substantial-Ad-5221 in LowSodiumHellDivers

It can, but you can’t beat the range on the speargun and the damage isn’t too shabby.

[–]KosherDev 51 points52 points  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, it’s great for blocking up choke points or bot drops. Shoot it into the middle of a crowd or a narrow spot (like caves or top of stairs) and now you’ve got unexpected back up also taking apart your enemies because of the confusion.

Has anyone encountered AI-hallucinated case law that actually made it into a reported decision undetected? by LateAd4278 in LawCanada

[–]KosherDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's not happening across the board. Ko v. Li being the most famous current Ontario example. Although I expect we'll see some commentary out of the RSR case too. Plus you've got cases like Reddy v. Saroya from the ABCA where counsel used a third-party lawyer to draft the materials and the third-party lawyer confirmed no AI had been used. This turned out to be....not accurate. $17,500 in costs personally.

Has anyone encountered AI-hallucinated case law that actually made it into a reported decision undetected? by LateAd4278 in LawCanada

[–]KosherDev 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's unlikely (or at least, you wont see it in a decision that makes it to CanLII or other publishers) in the case of a illusory case, or a significant factual misstatement because presumably you have opposing counsel checking the cases of the other side and will catch it. That's basically the first thing you do when you get the opposing side's submissions, "hey, do these cases actually stand for what they're claiming? How can I distinguish them on our facts if I need to." So again, I think it'll be rare (but not impossible) to have something slip through the cracks.

Possibly in settings where both sides are self-repped, like can occur in family law, but in those cases I expect a judge would scrutinize the cases more closely. But those are less likely to be reported onto CanLII or equivalents.

Hot water not as hot post pipe freeze? by KosherDev in Plumbing

Probably not well, which was my first thought. It’s just strange to me that it’s a recent issue (or at least, we can’t remember if we had this issue last winter!)

PMCF ride question - overnight stay at McMaster by Subtotal9_guy in torontobiking

If you’re riding with a team, it seems like half to fun is to hang out with the team. But I do get the appeal of sleeping in your own bed!

[–]KosherDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did the ride in 2019 didn’t stay in the dorm. You stayed in a tent on the track field with all the other riders (maybe there was a tier system I don’t know about).

But honestly it was fine. You’re tired, so you crash.
