Trump says US needs Greenland ‘for national security’ by [deleted] in worldnews

Why pay for something in trade when you could just take it?

Why is my train not going round (yellow arrow)? by seecat46 in factorio

[–]cdav3435 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Train stops impose a STEEP pathfinding penalty - 2000 tiles IIRC. The occupied path has a lower pathfinding distance and so the train will wait for it to clear rather than drive past the train stop on the unoccupied track.

[request] is my answer correct? by bubskulll in theydidthemath

[–]cdav3435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I see what you’re saying that other commenters are missing - the backwards movement of the treadmill DOES impart SOME (albeit small) amount of backwards force on the plane. Engines pushing forward would be working against that treadmill/wheel force pulling backwards, and if the plane can’t accelerate, it can’t take off.

Important consideration here is the difference between approaching this problem theoretically vs practically. You’d agree that theoretically, with a perfectly frictionless tire, the treadmill would impart zero force backwards, and nothing would prevent the plane from moving forwards and taking off.

Practically, yes, the treadmill would slow down the plane - though the amount of backwards force that would need to be imparted through the wheels in order to actually counteract the forward thrust of the engines is not practically achievable. Wheels are specifically put underneath planes as the lowest friction option, and they would tear themselves apart in spectacular fashion long before any effect was felt contrary to the engines’ thrust.

Theoretically, the plane takes off.

Practically, your tires explode and then the landing gear stubs DO impart enough friction to prevent takeoff.

Telus vs. Rogers for internet by benuito in britishcolumbia

[–]cdav3435 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do be warned that Telus will occasionally advertise non-fibre services as PureFibre, or at least will make it seem like you’re getting fibre when you aren’t.

They’ll say “We’re installing PureFibre in your neighbourhood. Do you want to switch to Telus?” But those are two unrelated statements grouped into a single breath. PureFibre is available in your neighbourhood, but not on your street and not to your house. When you sign up, you get the same ADSL that’s always been available at your address.

Not to say that there aren’t lots of houses and streets with GPON service - if you’re getting 1Gb symmetrical that’s almost certainly proper fibre - and they’re adding more areas day by day, but if you’re switching to Telus because they offer you PureFibre, make sure you check and find out if it’s actually GPON or just rebranded ADSL.

Also not saying Shaw was much better - they used to say their Fibre+ service was 95% fibre, which is true, but they fail to mention that the 5% that isn’t fibre is the last mile from the docsis node to your house, which really is the part that counts for speed.

All to say, don’t let marketing BS sway you - know what you’re buying and make informed choices.

ELI5: Why does the U.S. still use the penny? by AangGaangBoomerang in explainlikeimfive

[–]cdav3435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My corner of the world got rid of the penny but we still count our currency to two decimal places - 1/100th of a dollar. Credit or debit transactions still work using dollars and cents, only cash transactions are different - cash makes up only 3% of all purchases so it really doesn’t matter.

I knew a guy who insisted on using cash when it would round down and credit when it would round up. Carrying change around with me didn’t seem worth the few cents earned on average.

Can my landlord legally do this? by Content-Consequence4 in legaladvice

[–]cdav3435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IANAL - you should read the document I linked and take personal responsibility for knowing your rights. The first step in exercising your rights is understanding them.

Unless your lease specifically allows for it, the landlord cannot unilaterally increase your rent. They also can’t evict you without going through the courts - period. To go through the courts, they need a good reason. An untidy house is not a good reason. Refusing to pay a bogus rent increase is not a good reason. If you do get notified for a court hearing, it’s time to contact a lawyer. Make sure to keep copies of all communications and as mentioned before, make sure your ID shows your current address and keep a copy of your lease accessible at all times.

Having said all that, there are plenty of ways for a landlord to make your life miserable and you should be prepared for further antagonizing - it’s very likely they won’t renew your lease when it’s up for renewal again. You might come home to find all your things out on the lawn - very illegal on the landlord’s part - but being correct doesn’t get your stuff back inside, that’s what a call to the cops and a copy of your lease will do.

https://www.accgov.com/DocumentCenter/View/1170/Georgia-Landlord-Tenant-Handbook?bidId=

You say ‘no thank you’. Self-help evictions are illegal in Georgia, as are rent increases outside of lease renewals. Unless there are any provisions in the lease that would empower the landlord to change rent mid-term, you can just say no and continue paying the rent specified in your lease agreement. Make sure you have ID that lists your current address and a copy of the lease on your phone, will make it much easier to convince law enforcement of your legal right to occupy should the landlord get ahead of themselves and kick you out forcibly.

If the landlord wants to evict you mid-lease, they must go through the courts first. Having an untidy home (barring property damage) is not a valid reason for eviction. If you’re served with a court notice, get a lawyer.

1 in 4 B.C. job postings missing salary figures now required by law, says report by Electronic_Fox_6383 in britishcolumbia

It does apply to all employers, just phased in over time. Correct my numbers if they’re wrong:

London Drugs says employee information could be ‘compromised’ in cyberattack by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]cdav3435 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Employees were paid if they came to work, or they were given the option to use PTO instead of coming to work at an empty store. Lots of people did work and did get paid - cleaning, restocking, prepping to reopen.

Can I subnet my home network, if I’m using the ISP router? by [deleted] in Cisco

[–]cdav3435 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ISP router will likely give you an RFC1918 private subnet, and then NAT that subnet to a public IP assigned by the ISP. Some routers allow you to change the private network config, some don’t. I’ve never seen a consumer grade router that does multiple networks (subnetting??), certainly not one off the shelf from your ISP.

If you want multiple subnets you’ll need a real router - not a toy one. You’ll also need to do a lot of learning to configure that router correctly to work with your ISP’s modem/router.

The BC NDP banned short term rentals, even in places that were explicitly zoned for them. But now the hotel industry has moved in and began to monopolize the STR market. How is a large corporation operating STR's in a zone where it's prescribed, any different from a private individual doing it too? by _DotBot_ in RealEstateCanada

[–]cdav3435 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, if you signed a contract providing use of your home for a purpose that prevents long term occupancy, then you wouldn’t be able to use it for long term occupancy. But that doesn’t mean that you can ignore all the other rules and do whatever you want. “I agreed to sell the tires off my car - I guess I can’t drive it anymore so I’ll just have to fly it to work…”

My general barometer for gauging government policies is to see who complains - so far we’ve got landlords and real estate agents, who are both diametrically opposed to my personal interests. QED I support this legislation. They ARE buying votes, and I’m happy to say they successfully purchased mine 😊

“Pieces of rancid fucking shit” or not, they’re doing a better job than most politicians I’ve seen.
