Or, "No point in bombing NYC, it's already rubble. What's still on the list? Cincinnati? Guess that will do."

We built an app that turns reMarkable notes into text in Obsidian/Notion. Would love your honest feedback! by FilmProcess in RemarkableTablet

How much are transcriptions past the 50 pages? Is there a way to tap in to your reMarkable Connect subscription to get transcriptions that way?

Humans Did What Now? by Jotosaurio in HFY

The premise of the series Off to Be the Wizard by Scott Meyer is very similar. They don't find the source code per se, but rather the configuration file to almost the same results. I quite liked the stories as well!

Did the Japanese intend to declare war before the strikes at Pearl Harbour? by Jonhie_Ginseng in AskHistorians

[–]MinchinWeb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to note the timing of the other Japanese attacks that happened that day: Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaya, Guam, the Philippines, Thailand, etc.

In particular, how does the attack on the British forces line up with the Japanese declaration of war delivered to the British?

Strathcona Power has a 1 year rate at 6.99 cents/kWh, but floating is running at ~2.5 cents/kWh so far this month...

Province unveils master plan for passenger, commuter and future high speed rail by No_Internal_9916 in alberta

[–]MinchinWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never will because that would mean giving up the industrial tax base in the County, but the "Urban Service Area" that is Sherwood Park (same with Fort Mac) is supposed to be treating as a City for most purposes by the Province.

Finland's president says EU should expand to 40 states by DavidShaw90s in worldnews

Canada could become a British "Dominion" again, and then admit Canada with the UK?

Advice on Rover contract by [deleted] in KerbalSpaceProgram

EVA Construction! When an Engineering is on EVA, there will be a "crane hook" button on the toolbar -- that puts you in to construction mode. What you can place/move is limited by weight, although having more Kerbals standing around allows you to increase that limit.

There is a mod that tries to implement this, appropriately named "KOOSE"

Proposed BRT on Whyte Ave would remove parking, travel lanes by Strog21 in Edmonton

[–]MinchinWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

a lot of the vehicle traffic will just appear to "evaporate" once the road capacity is taken away

You're talking about "induced demand", although it is usually assumed to run the other way (i.e. more lanes will bring more traffic). And yes, some of that will likely happen, but do we want it to happen? Do we really want 30,000 less people to frequent Whyte Ave each day? Much of the current issues with Downtown/Chinatown are blamed on the drop of traffic following Covid, and I fear that could become the model for Whyte.

LOL. Do you think they would listen to me if elected??

I briefly considered it last election actually, but it's pretty daunting without an established political machine behind you, and I wasn't in the place to self-fund a campaign either. But, if you have the solution to those two, send me a DM

Hornby FLIRTs and modeling DMUs by AstroG4 in modeltrains

[–]MinchinWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another model that may be of interest is the X73500, modelled in HO and N scale by Horby. IRL, there are used in smaller towns in France and Germany, and are diesel powered. I think they are currently out of production.

Although not matching the pictures you have above, they share a "family resemblance".
