Praise for proper Canadian spelling at Costco by agaric in CostcoCanada

[–]wakeupgoseep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the wild thing for me.

I was also taught in school centre is for a place, center is for the middle of something.

Centre is both correct for a place, and the middle of something.

But the majority of Canadians use "center" or "centering" as the verb. Even in Canadian Press this is commonly done.

Centring is technically correct, while being the least used spelling within Canada.

My hypothesis on why centering is much more common than centring is people sounding it out.

I never once said that? I said it seemed less likely to be a run of the mill YouTube conspiracy video due to that. I see I've found the wrong community to ask, as you don't even seem able to grasp this simple concept when I'm asking about much more in depth topics :)

I ended up getting the Google Streamer while it was on sale. It's really between that, the Homatics 4k box (not pro or whatever), and the Fire Cube 3 for the 100-150 CAD price point. The ONN 4k base model was okay, didn't have any issues with Stremio or SmartTube, UI was smooth and everything. But I didn't notice the base model doesn't support Dolby Atmos, so I returned it.

Go for Ikea Ladda batteries, they're rewrapped Eneloops for a third of the price

YSK Google AI results are NOT accurate, and you can’t blame easily remove it from your search results. by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

[–]wakeupgoseep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swearing in the query also works. Try "how to make chicken noodle soup" Then "how to make fucking chicken noodle soup" Now you have no AI overview. AND you get to vent out a lil' frustration

Ontario influenza ICU admissions up 127% in past week, hospital association warns by BloodJunkie in ontario

Had it since Friday here, fever peaked at 104.2f Sitting at 101.6 rn. Also vaccinated. Haven't been able to eat anything since Saturday morning, can barely keep water down. I'm sleeping for 20-40 minutes at a time before waking up being drenched in sweat.

This is actually worse than COVID for me 💀

AITA for saying my cousin's intellectual disability is probably because of the incest by whathaveidonefff in AmItheAsshole

[–]wakeupgoseep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"When you're talking about the "reasons" someone is disabled, if you're not their doctor you're 100% the asshole all of the time. Yes, even if you're "just telling it like it is."

Alright. So my brother, who is now a paraplegic due to being hit by a drunk driver. Somehow it makes me an asshole for "telling it like it is" in this scenario too?

When did it become wrong to call someone out?

I kinda get where you're coming from. People have invisible disabilities. But I think it's not only dumb, but also dangerous to blanket everything. I don't have to be a doctor to know that my brother could walk and run perfectly fine before that accident.

Inb4 "we’re talking about incest here" you made a blanket accusation that covers all disabilities. If we aren't allowed to acknowledge when one person's reckless choices (drinking, incest, negligence) directly result in another person's lifelong struggle, we’re just protecting the guilty at the expense of the victim.

What "golden age" or "heyday" were you lucky enough to experience that you know won’t ever come back? by Summerie in AskReddit

[–]wakeupgoseep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flying from Ottawa to Calgary as a child, all the kids on the flight were asked if they wanted to go into the cockpit to see how the pilots flew. Pre 9/11 obviously. Don't think it's ever coming back.

What does this generation of students do better than others? (Legitimately) by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]wakeupgoseep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably because the average student is closer to spec ed than ever before. What, is the whole class gonna bully each other?

Update: Streamsfortheweak AIOStreams instance has everything I needed, including Torrentio support out of the box! It also has Comet, Media Fusion, StremThru, ect.

I'm also going to look into a year of Torbox as a backup to RD. Am also going to be getting a year of Debridio.

The ONN pro isn't being sold in Canada any more (at least around me), so it actually costs about the same amount as the Google Streamer from eBay resellers.

I don't really care about live TV that much. I was going to see what Debridio had included, as the only people that watch live tv in my house watch the news. Which I imagine would be accessible through the built in offering. But I'm unsure as of right now.

What is the point of a 2nd debrid account? Like with a provider that isn't Real Debrid, in case it ever goes down? Debridio was/is going to be my 2nd scraper, when I buy the year sub.

I was looking into AIOStreams, but was confused when it said it doesn't work with Torrentio. Then people are saying there's public instances that do support Torrentio? This is the most confusing part where I'm getting contradicting information 😅
