  • It's a plot point in the Scotty TNG episode that Scotty outright doubles and triples time estimates as well as lowballs system specifications in documentation. And teaches Geordi to do the same.

  • Except it doesn't surface "those aspects of the show"

    The fact remains that those three characters are easily the three most critical and important character on the ship. Which is one of the primary flaws of the test. It doesn't test their agency. On that alone, the test is flawed and cannot accurately represent Voyager.

    If you take Enterprise on the other hand, then that legitimately fails since there is a vulcan-human relationship so bad the character even talks about it with her future self.

  • Voyager, where you have two women(and later three) in very high ranking positions on the ship should easily pass.

    Arguably DS9 too, since you have a similar situation ŵhere two women have critical roles on the station. The show even has at least one scene that shows that the test is flawed.

    That scene being Worf's introduction to Kira and Jadzia, where Kira and Jadzia are talking about a relationship based situation for comedic effect.

  • Ah yes the "let's build our way out of an monetary imbalance" policy that literally cannot possibly work.

    Most notably because such concepts never include massive infrastructure spending nor a way to prevent 1%ers from just buying up stock as investment vehicles.

    The only viable solution is punishing people who buy housing as an investment, strict rent control, building denser, more efficient housing And completely redoing our cities to remove car reliance.

  • They said the same about millenials.

    Joke's on us, both generations are so disenfranchised most of us don't fucking vote. We could dominate the political landscape if we did, but we don't.

    Also you just know that such a test would be designed as to be Impossible to complete in a timely, convenient and efficient manner.

  • One of the legal requirements to be an international student in Canada is that you have enough funding to be self reliant.

    There is zero cause for an international to ever require the food bank.

    Here's a viral example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfogy5kcfCU
    Guy also has videos on how he's invested in housing in Canada. He's absolutely not poor.

  • Engine is similar but BG3's is more enhanced. Story is a complete other level. It delivers on the level of what Todd Howard promises and starts approaching what Peter Molineux used to promise.

    A decent comparison is the 5e SRD based game Solasta: Crown of the Magister that uses the same 5e ruleset as BG3, and it does some things better, but is an absolutely on-rails experience. Even one instance where you have to get caught stealing to proceed in the main quest.

    Where BG3 shines is looking truly open.

    E.G. In the primary map's "main" conflict, you have three main factions, A group that runs a refuge,
    B some refugees and C some goblins.
    You can side with A, A+B, B, A+C, B then C, A then C, or even C then B+A. All of those outcomes will have rollon effects down the line. And not changes like Mass Effect 1's Rachni Queen to Mass Effect 3's "oh you killed that one, well someone else found a queen", but like: this PC's personal quest can't be completed on this run. Or a vendor that carries multiple unique items has a quest you can't complete because your loot goblin friend opened a chest the game told her multiple times to not open.

  • This is most likely from the current trend of wealthy foreign students teaching each other that the food bank concept exists in Canada. MS AI made this most likely from various social media posts telling each other how to abuse it.

    There are innumerable accounts of young adults driving up in fancy cars, going into the food bank, leaving with armloads of goods then immediately throwing away everything they don't want.

    It's a major issue for the Canadian food banks since they are not allowed to turn anyone away.

  • Once you factor in the best fit route, including through both major cities, seismic and land surveys, figuring out and plotting of new bridges, figuring out who owns what and how to best double existing track with a new high speed track, getting land for a new yard.

    I can see planning hitting that much, yeah.

    Hell, if we're using the Amtrack stations it has to tunnel under modern Seattle, as well as figure out how its getting through to downtown Vancouver across at least one river crossing in a busy and populated area.

    Also, consider how much the conservatives under Christy Clark spent to get the evergreen line built and the pre-build surveys cost well above the 10 million dollar range and were completely wrong and lead to massive cost overruns. Edit: The underground area in question was roughly 6 blocks long.
