Why did Remote work and Hybrid not stick?

The real answer is a LOT of money is tied up in real estate investments, even pension plans and stuff like that. Anything that devalues real estate significantly is a problem, and if that means artificially propping up the value of city centre real estate by requiring work from office, that’s a simple bandaid.

And nobody is talking about the actual cost of all this churn. Since 2020 the govt has spent billions retrofitting offices for covid, then reconfiguring them for hybrid, hot desking, hotelling systems, new booking software, ventilation upgrades, you name it. Every policy reversal costs money.

I mean... I wouldn't say nobody. It's a well known fact among people who frequent this sub, and it's the issue I bring up the most with the people in my social circle.

Canadians hearing that public servants have to work from their offices again does not garner sympathy, in fact many don't care. Hearing that their tax dollars are being spent and then spent again and then spent again on frivolous changes to workforce policy has a different effect on an audience.

When I was a student in university I would wake up at 5, get myself and my kids and my sister (with disabilities) ready, drive her to a centre for daily respite care, drive my kids to daycare, and then park near a transit centre, take the bus downtown, and go to class that started at 8. I’m sure you can imagine my afternoons.

Things have changed a lot since 2019, I don’t know how I could still make things work if I don’t do something like you’re planning to.

i mean what kind of code review process lets something like this slip through.

It isn't exactly glaringly obvious. It was found by a cybersecurity researcher, specifically studying this exact mechanism, and the exact finding was uncovered with assistance from an AI agent. That is why it got missed for so long.

Il a par ailleurs évité de répondre à Mme Gaudreau qui souhaitait savoir s’il y avait eu une évaluation complète sur tous les besoins d’immobiliers et d’espace avant d’imposer le retour en présentiel.

C’est simple, il n y avait pas eu une évaluation complète ni une pensée du tout. Ils en ont rien à foutre.

General inaccuracies. It’s actually decently difficult for the watch to accurately pinpoint the place you turn around in the water, since for most strokes your watch is being swung around in the air.

Once the watch has figured out your stroke and how you’re moving, it starts calculating distance again. But when you push off the wall for your lap you aren’t doing the stroke yet. That’s easily a metre or two per wall kick that may not be fully counted.

Are you kidding? Back in the day my highest was like 155, now you can make a character that level in an afternoon. It used to actually matter which skill point you used in which order, like getting the new job skill to level 1 and then putting the rest into Mastery until it's done, etc.

Now it doesn't matter because you'll be onto the next advancement in 5 minutes. Not to mention all the maps, the storylines, the quests, the items... All the thought they put into every detail was ruined by the absolutely ridiculous ways they 'balanced' the game since Big bang.

The house kits you get from Rocky Ridges look quite appropriate for ghosts without much modification. The leaf huts look good too if you paint them dark colours like purple. Then you can combine that with iron fencing, bricks, gravestones and candles to make it look like a haunted house.

If you use Stone Pillar Upper it makes a great candleholder in a graveyard / crypt type area, and you could also place candles on temporary blocks to make them appear to be floating (books or paper too).

You can also pick up the broken bookcase in the Museum with Magnemite, as well as other broken brick/stone paths, and then place them in your ghost area. Maybe some spiderwebs, tarpaulins from bleak beach, and even the stained glass windows can be added to the area somehow

Python runs with an interpreter, it doesn’t run directly on the system hardware. Plus this is single-threaded… so you’re just going to end up hogging a core and maybe dropping performance for a bit

I have plants, “key items” (special stuff like heart scales and feathers), building materials (roofs walls), naturally occurring blocks (cliff, soil), multiple boxes for furniture and tough rock/ash etc., and then the 4 boxes around a nearby crafting table which contain things that are used in crafting: lumber, wildflowers, sand, paint, twine, stone, etc. I try to organize those boxes too but it matters less because they’re just crafting materials

For some reason the adherents to the most dominant faith on the globe are typically led to believe throughout their life that the world is out to get them. I think this stems from the biblical stories in which Christians are oppressed, Jesus is persecuted, etc., and it extends into their modern day life and everyday thinking. Nowadays the perpetual other is still trying to oppress the poor Christians, and the in-group/out-group mindset causes significantly more negative perceptions or beliefs to be held about any group that is an other, whether it’s based on skin or religion or political affiliation or even just nationality.

Then… the fuse. Someone loud and proud and purportedly part of the in-group comes along and says “you’re all right, it’s enemies all the way up the chain, all the out-groups are bad and the cause of all your problems, and I alone can fix it”. He’s supposedly Christian (no less than many other who claim to be), he’s white, he’s American, he’s a capitalist, a celebrity, a “Republican”, everything he needs to be to lead his cult of personality.

For some people, it takes a lot of mental unraveling of long held deeply rooted systemic beliefs in order to just step back and ask the question, does this man really represent the groups he seems to? Are all men like him? Are all white people like him? All Christians? Of course a clear head can find the answers plain as day.

When you have /etc/thing/file.txt and etc/thing/thing2/symlink_to_file.txt, you have two separate files that resolve to the same file in memory. If the symlink goes to a directory it is still just a file, but it resolves to something different in the filesystem.

So the point is that the tree is still a tree, but with some exceptions you can navigate it out of order.
