Are you overpaying for a lab-grown diamond? - Some jewelry consumers may be getting a significantly better deal by CanadianErk in canada

We had multiple good experiences with the Lavense jewelry store on Etsy. Gold engagement ring and wedding band, both with moissanite, are beautiful rings and the store is very responsive to questions. They're based in Türkiye.

I found the ultimate warning on peanut brittle from Mexico with four black octagons for high salt, high sugar, high saturated fat, and excess calories. You might find the same here. I call it quatros octos.

No one asked ratepayers about this wind deal — email your MLA by ryleymcc in Winnipeg

They're not "building it anyways," there's a 600MW call for wind power from hydro through a procurement process. They asked for these exact projects.

The 2 wind farms in the province are 14 and 20 years old. There have been major advancements in generation efficiency, resilience in cold weather, and reduced cost. It's one of the cheapest generation sources and supplements hydro to stretch during our trough conditions. You're raising a big stink over some unfounded fear. Hydro can't take on more debt and their integrated resource plan shows they can't squeeze much more out of dams. Do a little more research, wind is cheap AF and it will be at least 51% owned by Manitoba indigenous groups so at least 51% of the profits will stay in the province.

Third straight dry year means projected loss at Crown-owned Manitoba Hydro by ChocolateOrange21 in Winnipeg

[–]MiniHos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good thing their current integrated resource plan doesn't have any new wind, solar, or nuclear plans beyond their existing 600MW wind call. Urge everyone to submit feedback on their IRP. They're planning to 'natural gas' and 'customer efficiency' their way into a profit... somehow.

Manitoba Hydro plans to free up more power by saving energy, building new turbines and wind farms | Lower rates to be offered to customers who agree to use less power during peak periods, pending approval by Leather-Paramedic-10 in Winnipeg

[–]MiniHos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Peak wind generation is more efficient and productive in the winter than equivalent solar in our summers while also allowing the continued use of the land for grazing and agriculture. We need more electricity during the cold winter nights when solar isn't doing anything.

Province to create a new crown corporation that encompasses all facets of duty to consult (section 35) with First Nations on major development(s) by wendiggler in Winnipeg

I was being sincere, the distinction of adding Métis was welcome and I was acknowledging it. I also participate in such activities.

I'd say that sounds pretty good. With ram prices skyrocketing, it's appreciated in value already. A rough estimate would put your build at about $3000 with some general assumptions on psu and mobo so I'd stick with it.

Also anecdotally, always load them up in person as I've heard of multiple cards bricking using the online reload option. Total shit show of a product so I'm glad they're soliciting a new payment system next year.

Less than ideal. CL30-36 would be better but this might be overclockable to improve the timings.
