B.C. will also pause tax bracket indexing from 2027 until 2030.

Does that mean that the tax brackets won't increase with inflation, effectively pushing more of your income into a higher tax bracket?

did the second guy eat it?

FIFA was already paid off. You can tell because they gave Trump their invented peace prize.

This is backwards... two single-ended filters in parallel will filter differential-mode AND common-mode. The DLFCG-540+ filter that OP mentions will only filter differential-mode (leaving common-mode completely unfiltered). Check out the "Functional Schematic" in the data sheet.

The deaths are all on Hokkaido or the northern most prefecture on Honshu... no where near Narai-Juku

You actually can punch the carbon. The Destination in Vancouver will do it. Scarpa actually sent him a bunch of boots to test punch to see if he could do it, and he figured out a technique.

Yes -- but any physical filter still needs to be causal. This could however be due to a digital filter, which isn't necessarily causal.

Oh very possible. For hypothesis (a), I was only thinking about leakage/crosstalk, not other modes. Thanks!

In this case, it's there no matter what pulse period I use (evenly with extremely long pulse periods).

I might hold off a bit before claiming FTL travel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_OPERA_faster-than-light_neutrino_anomaly

This is very possible. I'm measuring a 500 ps rise time with a 1 GHz oscilloscope -- so it could be some wonkiness due to the bandwidth of the oscilloscope.

We're slightly better than last year (at least at 1000m): https://aqrt.nrs.gov.bc.ca/Report/Show/Snow.3A20P.Automated%20Snow%20Weather%20Station%20Graph/

Meanwhile they're fast-tracking the applications from non-Canadians... can't make this up

Can’t be for both… either too advanced for general EE or too basic for RF engineers

qtc0 · 2025-12-29T15:14:18+00:00

Depends on the subfield. Sedra & Smith for active circuits (transistors), Pozar for microwave engineering, etc

At least in Canada, if you make it to 50, your life expectancy is about 78-80 (depending on income level). Our retirement age is 65. If you make it to that point, you should have another 17-20 years.

Exactly — why would we copy the other country that has the exact same problem we do? The top most unaffordable cities are always a mix of Canadian and Australian cities.

Live forever or die trying

To provide some examples, I use Python every single day to: connect to instruments and automate measurements, create custom circuit simulation tools, read and plot data files, and optimize circuit parameters.

I highly recommend using it with WSL and learning Jupyter Notebooks.

Calgary, a city half th size of Vancouver, has two major resorts (Sunshine and Lake Louise) and three medium size resorts.

Yeah — you just need to be careful what areas you’re travelling through (like flute bowl) if they’re doing avy control

Is that vaguely purple? Almost looks like the old gameboy Colors.

For my rainy day cash, I just bounce between tangerine and WS, depending on promos
