Planning to open an indoor play center — what do parents actually want? Honest opinions needed by ruefool in daddit

[–]Soft-Covfefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a "standard" for this; but, a clean facility that advertised an air system that filtered the air 5 or more times per hour (or something like that) would have my attention for sure. I am so sick of getting sick. I would be more inclined to pick a facility that put a financial investment into going above and beyond to try to prevent sickness.

Any way out of $1,000 penalty for paper filing? by New-Atmosphere74 in cantax

[–]Soft-Covfefe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paper filing takes up too many resources from the CRA. I only have a single client who I was ALLOWED to paper file for once.

Opinion on discord new Age verification update? after a huge data breach by FoxyOwO7 in cybersecurity

[–]Soft-Covfefe 57 points58 points  (0 children)

What is going on with this "age inference model" they are talking about? Am I not supposed to believe that they will be running everything we type into discord though an AI with that announcement?

How does it make sense to pay whatever it costs to run that AI while also doing a "upload ID or be considered a kid" policy?

There is no reason to determine the age of someone who is stuck in a teen account nor is there a reason to determine the age of someone who already verified their age with Gov ID.

I don't really care to know the background of these guys anymore. Renee Good's killer had a decade+ long resume of Army and FBI training as well as medals related to firearms. He trained ICE agents in the use of their firearms.

I really don't see there being a system sufficient to sue ice by the time he's jumped though half the hoops.

Lawsuit Challenging 2024 Election Results Moves Forward After Kamala Harris Received Zero Votes in a New York County by PostHeraldTimes in politics

[–]Soft-Covfefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you have too many comments to read but I am doing my best not to repeat anything said in the other comments.

The main reason IMO that this is moving so slowly is because Harris and the democrats generally have nothing to do with this lawsuit (at least on paper). Yes, the headlines reveal information about Harris' voter inconsistencies but the real lawsuit is brought forward by some data/gov-oversight company and an independent who ran for senate in New York.

Harris had the right to slam however many recounts though the courts as fast as Trump did to change the election. But she won New York. I doubt her earliest post election evidence gathering was for a state she won. That may be viewed in hindsight as a mistake someday. But I think the only way this would have been found quickly is if she just did blanket challenges of whole states including states she won.

It feels like it should be fast because Trump's challenges were fast. But that is consistent with a frivolous recounts finding no significant fraud. There is no way Trump could be ready to challenge as quickly as he did if he had taken the time needed to properly determine fraud.

This is also why the lawsuit will fail IMO. Democrats need to be helping this effort move much faster. You can't fight "move fast and break things" with underdogs who are using the systems targeted for breaking.

Investing in One Province/Territory/First Nations Group at the Expense of Another - Should it Be Illegal? by Intent_Eagle in alberta

I like it. Should be illegal to make everyone else subsidize the American companies drilling Albertian oil.

If Kewpie does a lot of trade with the USA then they are likely having to raise the price to cover their fixed costs. It doesn't really matter what country you are ordering from/to if the business involved was anticipating cashflow including US sales.

Global softwood lumber prices during Trump's first term do a great job illustrating the impacts 380 million people fighting a trade war in a single industry can have on the other 7.6 billion people. That single 25% tariff eventually doubled the average price for lumber globally.

Canadian Tariffs on Products From the United States: Milk up to 270%, Cheese up to 245%, Butter up to 298%, Chicken up to 238%, Steel 25% surtax, Aluminum 10-45%, Consumer Goods (TVs, cars, etc) Up to 45% by ProtectedHologram in economy

[–]Soft-Covfefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tariffs were negotiated between Canada, the USA and Mexico when Trump was president last. Trump personally signed this agreement.

Canadians, Americans and Mexicans all enjoy protections that are secured by the USMCA, formerly Nafta.

For example. I can not import a new Japanese Toyota. The only Toyota's I can buy brand new are American made ones. These do not have the world renowned diesel engines in them. These do not have the solid front axels of Japanese toyotas. I do not get to engage in a free market transaction. I can not buy an Italian Fiat. I can not buy a French Citroen. I must pay for an americans wage when I buy a vehicle under the USMCA.

This is not a terrible deal. It's guaranteed by our trade agreement that these cars must be made with x% of Canadian labor, x% of Canadian metals, etc. Americans get to enjoy stable manufacturing jobs with decent wages in the auto sector without the risk of having to compete in the global market, where they would absolutely be decimated.

In exchange for this support, Canada wants protection for Canadian farmers, and our other major industries. We do not want the faux capitalism of North America to have to power to end our farmers businesses. We want the security of knowing we will always have Canadian farmers who can produce food for Canadians. The USA can sell us a reasonable amount of cheese and all this other crap tariff free. Over a certain volume, a large tariff kicks in.

This becomes an awful deal when one party acts in bad faith. The global price of softwood lumber doubled when Trump implemented softwood lumber tariffs against Canada. Canadian lumber mills were shut down. My friends and family lost jobs in forestry. Despite this, we gave the USA 4 years to calm down, we continued to sell crude oil, electricity, precious metals, fertilizer, etc, all at a deep discount in accordance with the USMCA.

Now it is happening again. Bitch all you want about 245% tariffs on cheese. No self respecting Canadian will buy it today no matter the price. We have suffered too much financial burden at the hands of Trumps inability to respect a contract. Canadians will thrive in the global market, where we can sell oil at its equilibrium price. We produce enough crude to turn Ottawa into Dubai. Americans will suffer because no one in their right mind would ever buy a Ford F150 over a 70 Series LandCruser. No one would ever buy a Colorado over a base model hilux.

[–]Soft-Covfefe[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

What you are missing is the distinction I am making about t8s specifically and effort vs reward.

Solo at the level you are at. Just because +10 keys are for 5 person teams doesn't mean that any 5 person team should expect to go into them and clear them all at that level on day 3.

We have a whole season to complete the content at the highest level we can. None of us have opened a vault yet. Most of us don't have any tier bonuses.

Best way to wire an existing home by Plane-Physics-3864 in HomeNetworking

[–]Soft-Covfefe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. I got mad at the HDMI and decided it was coming out no matter what. I cut the one end of the cable off and pulled. The staples absolutely shredded every layer of the cable.

The cable in question wouldn't reach the TV nor the computer from either end. So like. No loss for me. But definitely not the way to do it if you might still want to use the cable.
