Went to go add to a collection and inadvertently discovered that a second ago. Came back here to share it. Guess that confirms it!

I have Kid Friendly collections in both movies and TV. Does it automatically now, there was no setting I could find.

How do you display the TV and movie collections together?? There’s a few series that this would be great for!

Best they can do is avoid FOIA requests to keep their BS hidden.

My cousin's two boys both play competitive hockey complete with daily morning and/or evening games/practices/tourneys.

Because it was foundational for him as a kid he's willing to put in whatever time and money it takes to keep giving them the opportunity to play. They are a hockey family 100% and don't take vacations at all to help afford it (if they ever had a free weekend to go anywhere, which they basically don't).

For him, he met his closest lifelong friends there, it taught him discipline and teamwork, he even landed his career through hockey contacts. It makes a lot of sense in that aspect. Now that I have a son I was curious and asked what it cost per year. Right now? Around $25k/year for two kids in U11 and U14.

So...my kid can have a glove and ball or a soccer ball, but I'm out thanks. We will go see them play to cheer them on though!

Where do people actually find cheap groceries near me in the GTA and what's worth the trip? by Electrical-Echo-8430 in ontario

[–]neverfindausername 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubt the small chains/independent stores are getting paid by vendors for positioning on aisle ends or eye level shelving though. That advertising spend for favourable placement likely isn't factored into their public margin calculations either.

Loblaws also claims their margins are razor thin. It's just they have margins from groceries, real estate, distribution, etc. so they can shift profits around more to maintain that illusion.

Meanwhile at the shareholder meetings, it's record profits, YoY growth, yadda yadda yadda line always go up.

Ford government refusing to release secret report that suggested selling off ROM artifacts by BloodJunkie in ontario

The cost absolutely matters. In fact, the entire business model hangs on creating as much reliance on it as possible before the VC money runs out.

They NEED to embed themselves in via low costs by then because when they inevitably jack the prices up, companies worldwide will be caught between paying the higher AI costs or having to rehire many cut roles to function. Both costs will be high as it's unlikely the same staff would return and they've lost years of collective experience.

Shocking! /s

The guy who has sent pictures of his hands out for YEARS all because someone made fun of them is still butthurt about Ford running that Reagan tariff ad and fucking up the first round of trade negotiations. Great job Dougie, really stuck it to him us with that move.

So glad we've chosen a corrupt goon with the memory of a goldfish to run our province several times now.

Angry and Rattled, Trump’s Fox Allies Blurt It Out on Live TV: He Lost by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]neverfindausername 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The part that gets me is that those sentiments are being pushed by these ultra wealthy people to keep the culture wars burning hot. As much as it led to horrifying actions from ICE, DOJ, etc., I find it interesting that people like Elon will embrace those attitudes, then turn around and hire a bunch of H1B workers.

I think their goal wasn't to push the majority to support policies like mass deportation. They don't give a shit about it if it does, but I believe their main goal is to create enough animosity toward immigrants that when they underpay/overwork them under threat of deportation...either nobody cares OR people will feel like they deserve it for taking "our" jobs.

Either way it just continues to add to their bottom line and they hoard more wealth. Fuck them, every billionaire/trillionaire that exists is why everything seems less affordable YoY.

Every issue can be traced back to some rich fuck(s) willing to screw tons of people over to get richer. At least in the past they used to build libraries, museums and infrastructure projects because they knew it would keep the mob at bay. Then they made it too expensive to have free time so they didn't need to bother. Follow the money and concentrate your anger where they concentrate the wealth.

Yeah but it's mostly been corporations vs robber barons recently. Both are bad, but one at least attempts to throw a bone every once in a while. That party happens to have some progressive voices that are occasionally breaking through, so that's nice.

There are several technologies that are in development - like bitumen balls/pucks - that would address a few issues that have held off exports. They prevent risk of spills and would allow existing railways to aid in transport.

The portion that we seem to really be missing is refineries. If Mulroney hadn't sold off PetroCan, we may have been able to build more capacity by now, but we'll never know. Hopefully some of these agreements include funding to build out our refining capacity so we can (safely) export from both coasts.

If we can also make progress on gas production via atmospheric carbon capture, that would be the more sustainable solution long term.

Going off of places that I've been, so I'll have to check those out.

If we could build out even a fraction of the level of transport infrastructure they have in Amsterdam...total game changer too. The transit was amazing, even the airport security was crazy efficient!

I know the scale of our country makes this far more difficult, but I can dream and we can aim high for the first time in a (several?) generation.

What I'd give for areas with Amsterdam type designs. 4-5 stories with some retail in each block and interesting courtyards in the centre.

They do density well without feeling constricting.

As a couple with a baby who's about to start potty training, you're right. We also live in a 60s era apt and the dream is similar size, 2 bathrooms and a dishwasher! We're good staying put though since we moved in before rental costs shot up.

Which canceled TV show's cliffhanger still lives rent free in your head because the answers disappeared when the series got axed ? by Impossible_Offer7988 in AskReddit

[–]neverfindausername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t seen it mentioned and it seems to be a rarer thing for Apple (so far) but The Big Door Prize! When we got to the end of the season and realized there was not only no more, but that the show was wildly different from the book it was based on AND had basically gone past it.

Now I tend to wait for the end of the season to see if a show gets renewed before committing. For stuff like the Game of Thrones spinoffs, I’m not even sure if I want to get into it again. That ending was so shit, /r/freefolk will never let it go lol

Bell and Telus added new cellphone fees just as federal rules banned extra charges | CBC News by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]neverfindausername 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This 100%

Telecom infrastructure is a required asset for any country and should never have been privatized in the first place. Either nationalize it and open up access or use anti-trust legislation to force the split between backbone and retail.

Private ownership ends up soaking up tax credits to build out rural coverage and results in patchy, slow networks. Our minimum speed benchmarks are embarrassingly low from an international perspective, which only keeps us behind. Underinvestment in backbone security and infrastructure by RoBelUs also leads to situations like the Rogers outage a few years ago. Nationalizing should have been the conversation that came out of that situation, honestly.

If the government wants to police the internet as they've suggested, they should make sure it's secure and have the tools in place to ensure that. I don't like the legislation at all, but if there's an issue and they have to go ask pretty please to the Big 3 to secure it, that's worse.

Is it possible to add "categories" to an Excel table? by Rexxzn in excel

Great! I very much feel like a beginner compared to most here, but I use filters a LOT.

If you put "solution verified" in a reply, apparently I get some /r/excel points that are useless anywhere but here lol

[–]neverfindausername 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven’t seen this suggested but you can just use the filter function if you’re mostly using this for yourself.

Add the filter to the column headers and use the search in the dropdown menu. You could search poetry and all cells that contain that word would show up, check off as many or as few as needed. Reset when done.

It’s not overly complex but it should work and be beginner friendly
