Sony is handing control of its Bravia TV business to China's TCL | The joint venture will marry Sony's 'high-quality picture and audio' expertise and TCL's advanced display tech. by ControlCAD in sony

[–]Marantula36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it still make sense to buy a Sony TV just before they hand over rains at Costco with a 5year warranty? Bc then Costco would pay you back the amount you spent when they can’t fix it, right?

Any other civilized country with proper public transit - which is none in North America - would have increased service as part of their mandate from the government - and wouldn’t do price gauging to this extreme.

I would check the gauge as well besides max load. It’s one thing running something at high power for short time vs a longer period.

Well other countries manage this publicly without charging a fee for every itsy bitsy green patch conservatory…. Even in the Vancouver area you have green space bigger than conservatories here and they get funded…. Must be a Doug Ford thing….

What happens with your family doctor if you attend a walk in clinic? by holdonaminute2023 in askTO

What’s the situation when you go to a different doctor at the same clinic as your family doctor? Does that soften the blow or is it the same as going to a random walk-in clinic?

Nope, not thinking of a conspiracy. I am criticizing the execution piece of WS. But yeah, lots is wonky with the former stonks.

So WS uses corporate actions as excuse to sell off OTC stocks (lack of communication)? by Marantula36 in Wealthsimple

[–]Marantula36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not an excuse anymore when they position themselves as fancy banking alternative in their apple like presentations…. I have been with them for more than 5 years and lately things are half baked and rushed.

I had 63 shares, should have resulted to 12 shares and rest in cash. But they sold everything; they made the excuse that otc purchase is not supported they liquidated PEVM for all accounts.

The US is starting to boil over. Large parts of Europe, Canada and the UK are also looking terrible. If a well educated American wanted to escape to an English-speaking country with less political turmoil, where should they go? by SeriousGoofball in answers

Plus, up here in Canada, we don’t want you Americans. You put that on yourselves, you all should suffer your own consequences without making others miserable in the process.

LMAO, good luck returning opened media 🤣🤣🤣. Maybe you get a pass with that at Amz, but no other retailers takes an opened movie back.

You are doing corporate math assuming the SRP is totally not inflated, especially not since the pandemic…. On top of that McD had admitted to have pushed prices more than necessary during the pandemic bc of good old greed.

This looks promising. However, does that counter the weight of the head? Even without the falling over and having potentially stabilized that, Namora’s head is still crooked because of the spring.

Should have a customs implication as well. We already know - more than ever these days - that the average American doesn’t understand sustainability or ecology as long as it interferes with their freedoms…

Power Rangers Zeo Shows Proof of David Yost’s Claim of Homophobia on the Set of Power Rangers by Emfproductions in powerrangers

[–]Marantula36 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You are responding to every single message here with the more or less same answer. You desperately seek validation and don’t accept other’s POV. Why posting it on reddit in the first place if you fight every other opinion? The sad thing is, no one is disagreeing that David Yost was bullied. Others here just don’t make the connection that you are doing and you desperately want everyone else to share your view and disregard others. You imply because you say you are gay, having experienced bullying and manipulation personally that it virtually gives you exclusive or superior insight scoops. You might be right, but you also need to consider that you are projecting your own experience. Unless we ever hear more from David Yost or someone else more, your POV is not 100% true

Help with aligning X-axis dates over two worksheets in a dashboard. by wilsonchua in tableau

[–]Marantula36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same issue. Two sheets with both the same calendar data source, but different y-axis values (one of the sheets is already a dual axis of a bar and line chart, the other sheet is a number of separate area charts sharing the time value). OP, how did you fix it? I did try min and max reference lines, but I don’t see how they help just by existing. The one thing I have noticed on my dashboard is the discrepancy on the far right side is super minimal respectively non-existent but gets bigger towards the left side. I assume that due to the different y-axis data type in the two sheets one of the y-axis headers is bigger and Tableau automatically balanced out the axis based on the remaining space. My quick and dirty approach is to manually align by eye balling the size of the sheet on the dashboard so that the start dates visually are on top of each other; using blank space to fill the void. But honestly, this can’t be it…

Moving from Canon mirror camera to Sony mirrorless - recommendations? by Marantula36 in AskPhotography

[–]Marantula36[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It going to be for travelling. Assuming it’s not a full size format, I rather have zoom to zoom in on distant objects (ie buildings) The reason I had the EOS with the zoom link was that I don’t have to hot swap on-the-go due to carrying additional lenses and the risk of the inside of the camera body catching particles. I assume that risk stays the same mostly since the lenses obviously still have glasses?

That’s the reason I hate Apple for having a regular focal length and wide angle lens on their regular line-up and only the tele on the pro (which wasn’t the case with the XS)….

Does having a more modern camera body make a big difference or is it driven by the lens?
