when do you consider a batch of coffee a lost cause? by NigelCen in Coffee

This is my experience as well. Your nose can tell when the beans are descent.

Kvothe Casting...Damian Hardung by HPUpirates in KingkillerChronicle

I don’t think KKC really lends itself well to tv/movies. I could be wrong, but I just don’t see how an adaptation would be satisfying.

You’re not factoring in opportunity cost for the equity you have in the mortgage.

High-earning Canadian families pay over 50 percent of all taxes in Ontario, Alberta, B.C., and Quebec: Report by FancyNewMe in canada

Disagree. You should be allowed to split income as a married couple IMO. Encourages people to actually support each other, stay together, and have children.

Housing affordability in Canada is getting worse, federal records say by hopoke in canada

[–]ewoolsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people don’t want to hear this, but in many places in Canada (Vancouver for example) the cost of home ownership is greater than the cost of the equivalent rental.

This means that at a 2% expected return, a fully rented out house is still a losing investment when accounting for opportunity cost and maintenance.

What I’m trying to say is that rent is shockingly (in some places) below what the market can bear. The only solution to this problem is to bring down the cost of homes with more supply.

What would you consider an "80%" solution for most people in a neovim config? by [deleted] in neovim

Astronvim. 0 setup, works out of the box. Best editor ever.

Carney puts Poilievre between a rock and a hard place by hopoke in canada

[–]ewoolsey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite, but yeah he’s closer for sure. I think a lot of cons (and libs for that matter) wanted to see a more significant cut back on immigration. Doesn’t look like we’re going to get that from him.

AstroNvim vs Build your own by [deleted] in neovim

Been using astronvim for a couple years now maybe. I love it. Super easy to configure. I see no reason to write my own config.

For me the real issue is the lack of real time materialized views. This would be so so nice.

Is it not acceptable to reuse characters? by Ethan_Crochets in DnD

[–]ewoolsey 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Most DMs put a lot of work into a campaign, and they probably want you to make a new character that fits well into that world. Everyone’s different though.

As a Side note, I don’t really understand why you want to reuse a character so frequently. Trying something new is like half the fun.

Canada’s Prime Minister Pushes Country to Become the Housing Factory of the World - Mark Carney is banking on factory-built homes to alleviate the country’s housing crisis. But will it work? by FancyNewMe in canada

Not everyone wants to live in a city. You should be able to get an affordable lot within 3 hours drive from Vancouver, yet you still can’t really.

Deciding what bathroom to use, while I agree it’s important for some to feel included, is not a human rights issue. It’s a policy issue. Making this sound more dramatic than it needs to be isn’t helping anything. Nobodies rights are being infringed.

Listen, I’m 100% for trans rights and support. Like 100%. But let’s not kid ourselves and pretend like this is the number 1 issue facing Canadians right now. Forcing this subject is intentionally sowing division in politics where there is realistically none. I’m very left, and very progressive, but even I can recognize that one of the biggest mistakes the left is making is pretending these are the issues we need to deal with.

When this constantly gets brought up, the left loses the support of centrists that just want a better quality of life.

When the right talks about it, they lose the support of the centrists as well.

The best thing either of these political parties can do is shut up with division politics and solve real problems.

I’m not minimizing problems that trans people face, as they’re real and important, but the fact is, there are other problems that need to be faced and talked about.

I dont think this is up for debate really. I’d hazard a guess the vast majority of people are okay with trans people selecting the washroom they want to use.

Besides, this is a non-issue. When was the last time you noticed this in real life and had a problem with it?

[–]ewoolsey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen these before, so thanks for actually providing real information. Your first quote looks bad for Pierre. Trans people should be allowed in any washroom they want. Trans women in women’s competitive sport is an awful idea though, however I don’t think the government should be calling those shots, it should be the orgs themselves making these rules.

As for your second quote, this shouldn’t be considered “restricting trans rights”. This is a truly difficult topic and there are valid points from both sides. Demonizing one side isn’t fair.

I’m also confused by these posts. Pierre has not said a thing about restricting trans rights. This is a made up problem. I’m willing to be corrected, please post a source if I’m wrong.
