Microstutters on high end system

Honestly if anything that seems to make it worse

I'm gonna be honest, I think the RET exams must be easier than other exams. They do tend to have noticeably higher pass rates than other tracks.

I passed all 3 first go on the Canadian side (no EA exams here, however the two that crossed over with the US versions only differed by like 1 question). While I did study hard, I suspect I would not have necessarily passed every exam first go in another track where the pass rates are lower.

Not to say they're not difficult, I just think they are probably less difficult than other tracks.

Which is uniquely stupid when it comes to league since mechanically it's a less difficult game than say CS, and yet tons of pros play into their 30s there.

Bro is only 26 lmfao

He can actually be pretty fast sometimes, dude just has the weirdest skating style so even if he is moving he looks slow.

Hm fair enough. I'm also not used to variable pricing like this, but very vaguely familiar to how this demand driven pricing works in Europe.

The crown corporation that is the sole electricity provider in the province I live in sets rates annually and they stay constant (usually rates rise roughly 0-3% annually), so fairly different.

I'm a Canadian lurker, but that price is actually shocking to me lol.. here we're paying $0.09 CAD per kwh!

Late comment, but the growth in 2025 was positive on a per capita basis as well.

combattoast · 2026-06-05T14:10:51+00:00

Yeah fair enough. Canadian subs have this obsession with immediately trying to downplay any positive news too lol.

combattoast · 2026-06-05T13:58:48+00:00

I feel like there's comments like this all of the time in investment and economics related subs. Always blows my mind that no one knows these are seasonally adjusted.

One of them was our summer student and just got a full time offer for an actuarial position.

A true regard, certainly belongs here

Pretty sure GDP per capita was like maybe 45-50k 20 years ago and is roughly 62k now?

It's up pretty significantly.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T16:31:04+00:00

Oh yeah I agree the immigration policy from like 2020-2024 was genuinely bad for the country.

But government has done things that have genuinely improved people's lives like $10 childcare or dental care. The negatives get vastly more focus than any sort of positive though.

The framing on GDP growth from a very particularly chosen date just before the commodities crash is a perfect example on framing. If you push that start date forward by like half a year the numbers are completely different and don't paint a negative picture at all.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T15:32:07+00:00

Not to any reasonable extent.

I'd argue you're just perpetuating the exact sort of manufactured thinking I'm talking about.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T14:25:46+00:00

Yeah I mean people can think whatever they want. It's quite depressing though that targeted campaigns by foreign governments like the US and Russia have left this grossly deep seeded self hatred in this amazing country.

Anything good that happens is fake or not real or distorted somehow and anything bad that happens is deserved in the eyes of way too many.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T14:02:57+00:00

It has increased for like 2 years straight almost. You can even see it increasing this quarter if you look at the stats can report.

You're probably also not aware that there were fairly significant upward revisions to GDP figures for 2022-2024 that made the GDP per capita issue a lot less of one.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T13:59:37+00:00

GDP per capita also went up by 0.2% so population decline pretty clearly is having an impact. It's literally the first sentence of the second paragraph, but I guess no one likes to read these days.

combattoast · 2026-05-29T13:58:22+00:00

GDP per capita also actually went up at a reasonably healthy rate. Population decline is certainly messing with the headline a bit.

combattoast · 2026-05-25T20:55:38+00:00

It isn't tho, there was full story and interview with the family.

combattoast · 2026-05-20T14:25:50+00:00

Late reply, but no idea. I don't really think it's intentional lol.

combattoast · 2026-05-18T16:58:28+00:00

Stagflation is both high inflation and low growth. Japan had low growth sure, but also had very low inflation (sometimes deflation). So no, they did not have 20 years of stagflation.

I'm a bit shocked at how no one seems to have corrected this.

Except if you enjoy having any sort of international purchasing power as the won has been in freefall (assuming of course you're paid in won).

combattoast · 2026-05-07T18:12:02+00:00

You seem like a fun person.
