  • You noticed I left out the genocide mention but didn't pickup on why, you are free to read my original response to you back at the beginning

    Anyway detaching from this whole thread now

  • Why would you want to carry on arguments

    Because I get a lot more entertainment out of arguing instead of agreeing? Isn't this common?

    If you want me to just agree with you feel free to post some anti russia pro ukraine/pro west threads and I'll give you a solid uptoot and be on my way

  • Yep sorry I'm in Aus not Canada, they're a local manufacturer (https://reclaimenergy.com.au/), expensive as hell but felt like showing my support to at least one of the few places this still does engineering in Australia

    How is that heat pump treating you

    Really good! the separate compressor from the tank makes it whisper quiet, can barely hear it even if you're a foot away, co2 which is the most environment friendly refrigerant, and power usage is well, minimal, only a small 160L tank because I live by myself, can see example of what it uses here (it's the light blue bit at around 8am in the morning):

    That said it is summer here in Queensland, will have to see how it goes in winter but under 1kw a day for hot water, that's really not bad at all imo

  • Nah I've done internet arguments since like 2001 back on overclockers australia and whirlpool and about 10 years ago decided that it's mainly a waste of time, so I have a hard line with myself not to carry these arguments on, really not that interested in it anymore, I avoided looking at this thread 100 times but it got me on the 101st (that's my fault)

    I really wish coding gave the same dopamine spikes as arguing on the internet did... (anyway, back to coding)

  • again user issue, no ai trash in my playlists

  • works on my machines, maybe user issue

  • Isn't that just Spotify?

  • yep small items i've pretty much given up on, nobody seems to care that $2 worth of stickers are made in China

    It just keeps going though, weirdest one for me was those little marshmallows you put on cakes:

    Coles Bake and Create Pink and White Mallows, 100g. Great for creating a delicious rocky road or topping hot drinks.

    Made in China

    Really???

  • sorry to butt in but that’s a hobby of mine 😀

    for example going full renewables: solar panels made in south korea (qcells), battery german (sonnen), ev south korea (hyundai ioniq), heat pump australia/japan (reclaim energy)

    I’m now looking at computer parts made exclusively in taiwan (looks like gigabyte mainly) because europe appears to have 0 competitive chip makers

    it seems you can still buy bigger items that are local or non-china made but you will be punished for it, prices are anywhere from 10% to 100% higher

  • Interesting you talk about feeling safe:

    ‘Huge rise in antisemitism’: Top cop says thousands of officers deployed to hotspots in Melbourne suburbs

    He said such reports had surged since Hamas militants killed 1200 people in the October 7, 2023

    The reported antisemitic incidents spanned from verbal and physical abuse of people in the Jewish community, to vandalism, a neo-Nazi demonstration on the steps of parliament, and a firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue, he said.

    So glad I don't live in Melbourne right now, firstly a person got fired over tweets because of the jews shakes fist and on the other side threats, intimidation, a neo-nazi demonstration, physical abuse and firebombs

    What has gotten into the water in Melbourne? Too much social media?

  • I think they need to be built still tbh

    but i don't think this will be a fix, there are more structural issues in the EU

    EU is behind on chip making, software, space race, EV's, AI,

    <insert next big thing America or China invents>

    etcetc

    They will continue to be behind China and America so long as it's more difficult to do business and more difficult to raise money

  • Terrorists have been using Canada as the preferred point of entry into America for years now
