FTL. At least until you've beaten the game several times

Me too, and I remember in the mid 2000's before flat screens took off the biggest CRT you could get was 36", or there may have been a 40" but it was ultra expensive. One thing though is that the wider aspect ratio of modern tvs inflates the size number if you were to watch 3:4 aspect shows on a modern tv you are losing a bunch of viewing area on the sides.

Regardless, modern tvs are indeed insanely huge, and I'm loving it.

Cool though still a bit confusing, like what's a "Device file"? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?

This was a few years ago but I was able to google something like "vacuum repair" to find this place where we got ours. They had lots of used repaired ones but we had to hunt around the shop a bit til we found the one we liked

We went to a little shop that repairs vacuums and such and found an old Electrolux cannister vacuum from the 70s or 80s for relatively cheap. Apparently they are quite popular with people who clean houses professionally as they last a long time and are repairable. It's a bit of a pain to drag around the cannister but really not too bad over all and works very well.

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it's the ones I'm thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street "hey, this place has ring pops!"

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

Yeah torn down for SkyTrain expansion wasn't it?

Good domekeeper joke ;)

Don't worry about them being kidneys, they look more like rocky mountain oysters to me

Check with your credit card if you bought it that way. A lot of them offer warranty extensions that can double warranty length (up to an extra year). I've used it before once for a camera and it's a bit convoluted but it works. I think the process for me was to call the credit card company to confirm it would be covered, then getting a repair estimate from an authorized repair place. Then they either approve it and pay for the repair or pay you the original value if the repair would cost too much.

I once read that in his original iteration Cookie Monster did have a hole in his mouth so he could actually consume the cookies but children found it too disturbing so they modified it so he just sprays them everywhere.

Gotta look cool for the cameras

Hope you REALLY love shrimp. Or krill I guess but that's harder to find at the grocery store.

I've seen some produce with a sticker showing PLU and a barcode. Is the barcode in that case just an encoding of the PLU or something grower specific?

Ultimate portage

It's warm!

I would guess those large SUV's are built on heavy duty truck frames but not worked nearly as hard as a truck would be so they tend to last longer?

Here in Canada at least they have both at the moment. You can use the drive thru as usual or order through the app and give them a code at the drive thru or just park in a numbered spot and have them bring it out to you without ever talking to someone

I just hate how companies cling to agile like it's some kind of cult. Like a company I know gave all the employees very nice swag embroidered with a big "agile development" slogan on it like your development methodology is supposed to be a source of pride or something. Of course like most companies they don't really follow agile practice very much except where they can use it as an excuse to skimp on requirements and such.

Interesting, I'll look at that, thanks

The front fell off, that's not very typical.

Funny, I had a box just like that but blue and it was for Lego

Lol makes me think of the disco guy from Mystery Men. "Disco is NOT dead! Disco is life!"

Damn draculas

Looks good, and I never would have thought to have my cutlery 69 but now I see the brilliance of it if the spacing works

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan's airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw?si=aLTlAMKv_3p3ri2q I think he may have made multiple videos on the topic

They mention in the article about Reddit now being included in search results and I've noticed that as well. The irony there is that Google results have been so overrun by shitty content farm sites that searching for specific things like reviews or troubleshooting for products or games was virtually useless unless you also included "Reddit" as part of your query since you were more likely to see legit people talking about product issues and solutions. Not to say Reddit isn't astroturfed but certainly not to the level that Google's results are. I'm not totally convinced that Google's deal to crawl Reddit for AI purposes is directly related since bumping Reddit up in the search priority does make search results more relevant in a lot of cases.

It does seem to be an awful time for independent websites and has been for years since the big tech companies have been doing everything in their power to keep people within their walled gardens.

Haha I thought that birdy was standing on a cyber truck stranded at sea for a minute

Ah, so she's more of an animal crackers girl. Where's my Aerosmith tapes.

Hell yeah

Thanks, now I'm thinking about two different classic Canadian movies, Canadian Bacon and Men With Brooms

That's about $235 canadian. Canada Computers (big national computer store) has a 990 Pro 2TB on sale for $230 right now. The 970 EVO is $200 there right now so the London Drugs price is significantly cheaper if you just need an M.2 drive and don't care about highest performance I guess.

There seems to be an error in the thumbnail. That's the back of Darth vaders head.

This is verrry niche but Live from Moosejaw is what looks to be a YouTube comedy series that's just starting up about a long time local hockey broadcaster who gets saddled with a big city equivalent on his talk show. I enjoyed the teasers/setup they were showing before today's premiere episode https://youtube.com/@LivefromMooseJaw?si=BvgpECdEEltcKlY4
