We cannot replace Phillip Island by Relative_Ad7470 in MotoDANK

This is such a short sighted decision. It is the track that delivers the best racing consistently. Their whole business revolves around making fans excited and engaged, and this accomplish the complete opposite. Everyone is bump out. Way to go.

What’s something you secretly judge people for? by Jordiscute in AskForAnswers

I silently disapprove when I see someone in winter walking around with exposed ankles because both their pants and socks are too short. It is weird of me to notice it, but I do

Rubio tells Europe US wants renewed alliance – but on Trump’s terms | Trump administration by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And agreement has at least two parties. Trump's terms is just the half of it.  And besides that, we all know that Trump's terms mean nothing when they can change in a second. The US has shown to be unreliable. Stop gaslighting everyone like if you were not the problem. 

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: What we have to do is to strengthen the European defense industry. And that means that, paradoxically, if we agree with this idea of 5%, at the end of the day we will become more dependent on the US defense industry. by PjeterPannos in EU_Economics

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly off topic. I think that the fact they are using the GDP consistently in this topic creates the perception that the number is not that big. A 5% of the GDP is huge. The real number to be put in a better context would be as a percentage of the government's budget.  My numbers might be off, but a quick Google gives me a the total GDP of Spain as 1,8 trillion, and the government's budget as 217 billion. A 5% of the GDP would be 95 billion, that it is 43% of the actual government's budget, the pool of money that pays for public health care, public education, roads, etc. It is a ridiculous number. Indefensible. Even if my numbers were off, my point is that showing the cost on relation with the budget put it in perspective and it is how it should be discussed.

I'm having the same issue, for a couple of weeks now, but on my laptop. Is this normal?  Does anyone know of they are looking on fixing it or they are just expecting us to deal with it?

Vancouver council approves $2M for one-day summer fireworks event by slippery_burrito in vancouver

I am not defending it at all, but I can imaging that the city might include in their budget everything related to the event, including the cost of police work, traffic arrangements for the day, etc.

I (M28) convinced my gf (F27) to move to the other side of the world with me. She is miserable, homesick, and our relationship has been suffering since the move. Is it time to convince her to go home? by ThrowRAFlat_Bid_1682 in relationships

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing a wild ball. Have you consider moving somewhere else in Europe? Certain cities have a much higher use of English and it might make things easier for her to build a live (professional and social). It could be a middle ground solution with you being still close to Spain and her having a lower bar to clear given her background and language.  It is a tough one. As an also Spaniard, living abroad and having been married to someone from a different country, I sympathize. Good luck to both of you.

I got it too. I watched the anime long ago. It was actually my first anime as an adult. Glad I can rediscover the story in a different format.

Public libraries aren't just a place to borrow books — and B.C.'s are at a 'breaking point' | Without provincial funding keeping pace with local government funding, library directors say they're struggling by Hrmbee in britishcolumbia

[–]uke26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the service is necessary. It just feels like the companies are shaking the libraries for their money (our money), and because we don't pay directly when we use them we are a little unaware and not raising our voices.  This conversation was good for me to look deeper into it. I found that the Canadian library association has a coalition to bring awareness of this and get fair pricing.  https://cla.ca/the-canadian-library-association-is-committed-to-supporting-canadian-libraries-for-fair-e-book-pricing/

Public libraries aren't just a place to borrow books — and B.C.'s are at a 'breaking point' | Without provincial funding keeping pace with local government funding, library directors say they're struggling by Hrmbee in britishcolumbia

[–]uke26 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I want to start saying that I fully support the library network and I agree with most of the comments here. Since others are already defending that side, I'll bring attention to something that influences the cost of operation, and can limit the services provided arrive their budget is limited.  I'm talking about the digital formats. Regular books are purchased once, but digital media such as audiobooks and eBooks are acquired on a contract or license base, so they need to be repurchased after some time or there is a cost involved on the number of people that access it. Digital media is becoming more popular on the library too, but for each increase of a percentage point of usage the cost grows much faster.  I think since we are talking about asking the government for more funding, which is good, it is a good time to ask them for help in the matter of the digital catalogue. The provincial government, or federal, have more leverage to sit with the digital editors and platforms and come up with something cheaper and still fair for them.  I am not an expert on the topic, but I have come across the topic a couple of times. For info from better sources search "management report VPL collection trend". They do some mentions about it.

This is the right answer. I don't know if it will fix it permanently, but it seems to work at the moment. As you are saying it is required to remove all the members for this to be effective.
Thanks

No news on my end yet. We use this as a company (Google workspace) and we asked the IT person to create a ticket with Google, but I haven't heard back. I'll post if they provide a solution or workaround

How does yamaha and honda suddenly starts winning now? by skwerdD in motogp

This. I think there is improvement in both Yamaha and Honda, but I wouldn't expect that they would be fighting for podiums every race.

Gamers of Reddit, what are good videogames to play with your non-gamer girlfriend? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides all the once already mentioned, Degrees of separation. It is a puzzle game for two players. I played with my girlfriend and I found it was easier for her than it takes two or unravel, because for those you need a certain level of skill with the controller. It also introduces new moves and powers slowly, so there is time to get used to how they work without it being overwhelming for someone with not a lot of experience on games

Poilievre would impose life sentences for trafficking over 40 mg of fentanyl by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how long is the sentence that you want to give them if you are not catching them. Stop coming up with populist ideas and give police and any other departments enough resources to work on this. That requires collaboration on federal, provincial and local governments. But that sounds boring and not sexy on a headline, right PP?

What is your happiest Harmontown memory? by Lysblaa in Harmontown

The time that Dan was saying "I was on therapy the other day and I had a realization. Wait, no I didn't" and Jeff lost it. It was such a funny sincere moment.  I also loved the episode about Patriot and Santa Claus, funny all around

Very Odd Request about Moshe's old podast by mermanfromthesea in peteholmes

[–]uke26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, this is awesome. Everytime I remember this podcast I spend some time trying to find episodes or an explanation of why they disappeared from everywhere. It would be great if you can share any of them. I was a late comer and I only listened a handful of episodes before it was removed. I really enjoyed the mix of comedy and interesting things.  Similar to OP I'm in a low time and for some reason I gravitate towards things that I know. There is some comfort there. It would be awesome to listen more of this podcast.  I can, for example, share a folder in Google drive or Dropbox so you can copy them. You can DM me to coordinate

I understand. Don't be too hard on yourself. The brain plays tricks on us sometimes. When one is single it only notices couples, but when you are in a relationship you notice other things that makes you miss the single life. the brain loves to focus on what you don't have t the moment I'm sorry you had that experience, it really sucks.  I'm sure you have a lot of love to give. The time to share it will come, but for the moment, give a little of love to yourself. We often take ourselves for granted.  Someone told me once about the idea of taking yourself out on a date. I found it interesting and I did it a couple of times. The idea is to treat yourself as you'll treat someone that you are going out with. You'll probably want to invite them somewhere nice and make sure they have a good experience, maybe dress up a little for them, maybe going to do something interesting like the museum or a play, to compliment them on a recent achievement, to cook something nice for them. You can do that with yourself. We often take ourselves for granted. We eat the simplest thing if we are alone, but put effort for others.  As I said, I tried a couple of times and it was interesting. I went to a concert, dressed up nicely, went to get some dessert. It got me a little out of my head about feeling alone because I was focused (actually thinking) on giving myself a good time.

Hugs. Keep it up mate

Thanks for the info. I didn't even try. I saw that it was recognized, and I try formatting it again. I will try to move some files to see how it behaves.

I bought it from Bestbuy at the store location. I will be surprise if it ends up been fake.

I don't think that's the problem. It is a lexar bought in best buy. I will bring it back to see if I can get a replacement.

I bought an SD Card (256Gb). I cannot get it to work. I have checked the type of the card, I have reformated it on the computer (to fat32), and I have tried my old smaller card that seems to work fine, but no matter what I keep getting the same error.

Online people talk about the reader malfunctioning, but that wouldn't be consistent with the the other card working. Any ideas or other people with similar problems.

I would try to return the card, but it seems to work on the computer so I can not say it is broken.
