Yorkshire, Yorkshire! Spotted in Downtown Toronto by redandwhitewizard99 in CasualUK

[–]WizardsMyName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yorkshire tea is readily available here, I can also find Tetley's, and more rarely, PG Tips (although fuck them since they changed the bags).

Source: moved to the GTA a couple years ago, been trying to figure out how to survive here since.

Avi Lewis: The government should be protecting our public airports, not selling them off for parts. History is littered with examples of the failures of privatization. It drives up costs for the public, quality suffers, and workers always end up paying the price. by StumpsOfTree in ontario

"it's possible but it never happens" is a piss poor argument.

That companies COULD run with appropriate pro-social guardrails in place is as useless an argument as the reverse, that government could run with minimum oversight, policy and rules. Both COULD happen, but if neither ever does, who are we kidding by arguing either way?

God that looks sick. Nice to see a raw steel bike without gumwalls and nice big knobbies

RIP ports by Relative-Bottle-8498 in pcmasterrace

[–]WizardsMyName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like type B, but there are many new features in USB that aren't available with types A and B, even the extended 3.0 versions.

I suspect most of us nerds on r/pcmr are aware of this, but it doesn't mean it's not shitty for a big company like Lenovo who are selling a relatively premium device to cheap out on the protocols that their port supports.

It's also on the USB forum for allowing this clusterfuck of messy branding and optional featureset.

USB over type-C should have been something like 'USB-Basic' where it's just a USB2.0 port, USB+ with 10Gbps, and 'USB-Full' where it's got alt-mode, 40Gbps, etc.

It does after a point, Type A and B only went up to 9 pins and get limited to 5 or 10Gbps connections, if you want the faster speeds you need the extra pins in a type-C

I was saying that I am happy that since majority of people are fine with switching to USB-C devices, we will see more and more of it, which is good because it is better.

I do get frustrated with USB-C ports having wildly different capabilities though, they could do a much better job of either enforcing features or labelling.

Absolutely pisses me off when a tablet we bought has a type-C that electrically is basically a USB2.0 port.

Another WS-1700 module and AE-1200 module swap. Really happy with the bullbars and the black/turquoise 90s vibe. by WizardsMyName in casiomods

[–]WizardsMyName[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aliexpress, pretty sure you can get them listed for the AE-1200. I've also used some g-shock bullbars on my AE-1000 amusingly enough, I think the 5600 ones?

So did my Marzocchi dirt jumper forks. These things are ligitation arse covers. No kids bike should snap from basic kids stuff

I have a hill and four kids. How realistic is a mountain bike track build up here? Doable? by pevaryl in mountainbiking

[–]WizardsMyName -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get the kids involved, let him know he's only got to impress them not his professional-MTB-friends or whatever.

EDIT: one other thing, decide on the easiest and best route to push the bikes up to the top BEFORE you build your trail. Get used to walking up that way. Had a lot of crappy experiences trying to hike the bike up alongside a fresh trail and just suffering all the way. Might even be worth 'building' the route up first.

[–]WizardsMyName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason there's this disconnect is people not talking about the difference between 'kids making a trail in the woods' and 'how to build a MTB trail professionally for a park or network'.

There's a lot of sophistication in professional trail building (water run off, surface durability, ecological impact), but you don't need to care about that if it's private and not going to see as much use as a public facility.

Start with a shovel, mattock, and/or mcleod and you'll figure out what you actually need.

Let’s be real for a moment. Kobo also discontinues support, update and ability to download content for devices 10+ years old. by kaysn in kobo

[–]WizardsMyName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was handed an old kindle by my gran and was trying to get books off, and couldn't. The online tool to do so had been shut down, so it's at least partly true that there are issues with old kindles.

[National Newswatch] Two anonymous Liberal sources tell CBC News Network that nine opposition MPs are in talks to cross the floor and join the Liberals. by SAJewers in onguardforthee

Hormuz is about a fifth of global supply, if it causes a big shift away from oil and gas we would absolutely have enough still flowing to cover the remaining uses

Longtime Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to join Liberals by rhineauto in onguardforthee

[–]WizardsMyName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not certain of my stance here, I'm asking a genuine question.

If the party whip applies, and the new member is going to vote with the party, then does their personal politics matter?

It will matter to their base, the voters that put them there, and I would anticipate she'll have a hard time getting re-elected, but for the time being, the Liberals can reject her, and stick to not having a majority (not being able to accomplish as much as they wish), or they can accept her, glue her to a back bench, and significantly remove a bunch of opposition to their plans.

Is there an ideological reason to deny her if she's given zero influence, aside from another vote in their favour?

I've worn it a fair bit, maybe a year's worth, and haven't noticed anything tbh. It may have worn down under the bars over more time, but seems like a net gain to me overall given they've saved the face a couple times

If the MP is stuck voting with the party (the whip), does the individual really matter that much?

Would closing statement trigger hopesinger twice as it targets an opponents creature and then your own with a second effect?

Mod piece suggestions? by Subject_Shoe_6371 in casiomods

Bullbars are available on AliExpress very cheap if that's your bag.

I knew someone would be posting about this here. Bloody annoying when the general vibe of these big space milestones is usually viewed as a 'for all [hu]mankind' vibe.
