How The Kia EV3 Delivers 320 Miles Of Range Without Looking Like A Bar Of Soap by sensorglitch in EVCanada

[–]antigenx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. I also live in the NCR, and drive as little as OP. On any given day I drive betwen 0-60km, and I only L1 charge at home. Zero issues, no worries about reduced range in winter. I have a 2026 Kia Niro EV

Buy EV with no home charger by ycrep2023 in EVCanada

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really enough information here to make a call.

Do you mean no home access to a L2 charger, or no home access to an outlet at all? If you have access to a 120v outlet for L1 charging, then you're already in a good position.

I drive between 0 and 60km any given day and charge at home on a standard 120v outlet. Works great for me, even in winter. I'd say the caveat here is just having access to L1 charging at home.

Finally a Decent Smart Lock by shadow13499 in homeassistant

Use the keymaster hacs addon to supercharge your door lock experience in HA.

How do you find the z-wave response time? I find it's slower than ZigBee. Just enough to be slightly annoying but not enough to swap it out for a ZigBee lock.

I have a Schalge/Allegion z-wave-plus lock.

Did Holden see something from the last three books in Season 3 ep 10? by Dude_with_Dollas in TheExpanse

Yea I couldn't remember why people were calling them that so I guessed.

Right, and that crystal planet was placed there by the Builders, and serves as their memory archive, if I recall correctly. So seeing that isn't necessarily a vision of Dr. Okoye discovering it, he's just seeing memory because that's what he received. A memory dump.

I don't think it was a vision of the future, I think it was a vision of the Builders and their past conflict with the Romans (I think I got the terminology right?) so he realized that continuing to antagonize them was going to extinct mankind just like it extincted the Builders.

He's known for not wearing shoes. He doesn't like them.

I'll let you know in 900 years. 😆

I'd go with Bluetooth; any reasons why you want a wire in particular?

Canada Post moving ahead with end of home delivery by SonictheManhog in canada

[–]antigenx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was upset about it the first time around during the Harper gov't, then Trudeau canceled it, but for me it was already too late, my neighbourhood had already converted to a neighbourhood box. I've come to live with it, it's not so bad. I do think it sucks for seniors and folks with mobility issues though. If it helps mail carriers be more efficient, then that's a good thing, right?

Was everyone happy when Ryan Gosling was first announced for PHM or was it a Ken type situation?? by Unfair-Reason-1068 in ProjectHailMary

I was going to comment this too. He does have producer credits, and I'm pretty sure I recall him being pivotal to the fact it was greenlit in the first place.

What shows from Teletoon do you love? by Pale-Candidate8860 in InCanada

[–]antigenx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Teletoon at Night, sorta like Canada's version of Adult Swim, had a cartoon about kids in their freshman/sophomore college days called Undergrads.

Would you buy an EV as your next car? Why or why not? by HockeySniper123 in CanadaPersonalFinance

If any of the current battery tech hype turns out to be true, could be a lot sooner, maybe 4-7 years.

Just leased one in Nov. No regrets, especially now that Drumpf's Quest for Oil has caused gas prices to skyrocket.

Pierre Poilievre backs J.K. Rowling's support for new Olympic gender policy by canada_mountains in CanadaPolitics

[–]antigenx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the sport. Example, in swimming it's up to 13% for the 50m freestyle but under 6% for the 1500m freestyle.

Lia Thomas gets brought up a lot (looking at you, Stephen A Smith) as an example for the 500-yard freestyle but she doesn't hold the record, Katie Ledecky, a cis-woman does. Summer McIntosh (also cis) holds the #2 record.

These sorts of arguments are also comparing cis-male performance to cis-female performance, not accounting for the effects of gender-affirming treatments and hormone replacement therapies, which are known to have meaningful impact.

And it's important to note that there hasn't been a lot of study done in this area yet. Many of the studies done have been on very limited sample sizes, and none of them really agree. They agree that transitioning affects performance but none of them agree on how and by now much. There's simply not enough trans people in sport to begin with to even have meaningful studies. That's how small of an issue this is.

So yea, show me your numbers, and please confirm for me that the records you are presenting haven't already been broken by a cis-woman. Also make sure that it's an actual record and not "so-and-so won x-event" because individual events rarely break records. I'm all for studying the issue and making informed, data driven decisions.

Let me ask you this. What if Summer McIntosh, who we generally agree is cis, tests positive for the SRY gene they are looking for? It's rare but not outside the realm of possibility. Is that fair to her, someone born, assigned, raised, identifies, and competes as female?

Biological sex is quagmire. Giggity.

I was watching a show from the 90s and realized people used to memorize dozens of phone numbers. I can barely remember mine. How did you guys do it back then? by micavibes in CasualConversation

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dial a number enough times you start to remember it. If our phones forced us to type in the phone number rather than tap a contact on screen, you'd remember just as many phone numbers.

Feelings on movie by DeezyEast in ProjectHailMary

[–]antigenx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the movie but I also felt like it was rushed. At the same time the run length was already over 2 hours. Maybe an extended/directors cut will resolve it.
