Problem is it's flavoured corn syrup when it's anything...

While I 100% agree with you on the glass, and a can doesn't change the flavour as much as plastic..

Small cans have this smell (I guess skin oils reacting with the outside metal?) that you can't ignore when you eat right out of the can

Curious, why the cloudflare analytics?

Green Is My Pepper 👌

Yeah the missing vr is a real letdown as DR2 was an excellent VR title. But I recall the same thing happened with DR1 and DR2 so it's probably a deliberate ploy for a second wind of sales.

Mind you it's a new engine for once so it's possibly different this time...

I like that your emoj or Unicode whatever displays for me as OBJ

Its very web 4

Not always. Some are designed for areas with a prevailing wind and deal with smaller direction changes using pitch (angle) of the blades

Let alone power plants billowing steam and smoke

And they don't damage the environment as much as a hydro dam

And nowhere as ugly as giant farms of solar

Honestly its probably the BEST looking power source

Regardless of how I interpreted it I'm just remarking that the use of the language stood out to me, next to "I support the CBC" after it.

Makes you think about words and how we use them and how that shapes us.

Anyway, ignore me.

I know this is not your point, but it stood out to me with your choice of words: "I'm NDP" and "I support the CBC"

You're just you and you support the NDP too!

I'm sure that's what you meant anyway but it's just interesting the way we use words of identity with political parties. Eventually those words take root and it actually becomes your identity and other people become truly others.

Some 12yo's discover it through things like Minecraft and arguably that's the best time to start.

If someone put a "Redstone circuits" unit in a general science class in grade 7, and spent just one day talking about the real-world applications think it would be a success.

The entry level work is definitely considered low value, and I can see why, but I don't think it's any different than a first year accountant or lawyer for example.

Of course the big accounting firms are also starting to rely on outsourcing and foreign hiring strategies but semiconductor has been doing this for 25+ years already.

And accounting is not really a strategic sector
crucial for developing advanced businesses, high value consumer products, and military technologies...

Its a big missed opportunity that will affect the west for decades to come.

There is also an education gap. For whatever reason, this type of work is considered extremely niche in North America and even if 100% of local ECE graduates were hired there would still be both a labour and skill shortage.

Also the majority of the people in the local education programs I've seen are also studying from abroad, so they need a visa once they graduate to actually do the work.

Its odd, since it is such a strategic industry, that there is not a more clear strategy here beyond just hiring abroad to fill the massive gaps.

In some ways these companies benefit from the extra power they have over their workers when they depend on employment for their right to stay in the country, but eventually the companies just end up looking like a less promising risk to take versus just going to work in other countries.

That's what I mean by "the grade you need". If you need RON 87 don't "splurge" for 93. It's not better its just different and more expensive.

I always imagine this when hard rebooting any device

... Yeah just buy the grade you need not the "expensive" one, it's a commodity!

Only if you can buy friends and family on amazon ™

You have to hire them on amazon though

I flew outside the country for the first time in a while and my flights (domestic and international) on other airlines were an eye-opener. Both the Canadian airlines are an embarrassment these days.
