I grew up in Quebec until I was 7, and then moved to Ontario half way through the school year for Grade 2.

In Wakefield we were just starting to learn the times tables. In Ottawa, they were finished with them and were just about done division. I never really got to learn either before learning fractions.

As a result, while i can do quadratic equations and fractions in my head, I often struggle to reason out multiplication or division.

And back then if we did have a mouse, it was square, and used a 9pin serial port

Taxes. Because I have a brain and understand how a civil, functioning society, works.

We got our microwave out of the kitchen.

Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.

Huh… FileFlows does a lot more than video and music though… interesting.

Eh there are a couple of things I dislike, though the UI is very nice looking and there are lots of features. Closed source, no lifetime option and tiered subs… that all puts me off a tool pretty quickly these days. I’ve lost the ability to trust anything that does not have open code due to the never ending and constant corporate enshittification and underhanded tracking.

I haven’t seen that one. Tdarr used to be more work to get going with classic plugins, but with Flows its really intuitive and I’ve codified my flows into the helm chart I deploy it with so I don’t need to think about it. Its all in git and commented well.

Tdarr.

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to bother worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

Trainpotting

You haven’t depluralised this, you morphed it from a viewing activity to a veritable “shit-down”.

Stepsy

It’s basic. It’s open source, it doesn’t need GPlay, and it works.

Between this and a GPX track recorder you most of the data these things use except heart rate, and heart rate trackers are really bad at what they do.

I can also recommend MediLog for manual recording of real data from external tools.

So, Canadian chicks?

Hi from Canada, we’re likely Poland in Nazi Boogaloo 2.

It also normalizes the gene pool, which can become a threat to our survival

A large portion scientists, doctors, engineers, staticians and mathematicians are on the spectrum.

Eradicate autism and you eradicate many of our more intelligent members of society.

Autism is a side of the coin in human genetics, not a disease. It is a gift of our diversity that not all of us think the same way or conform. It gives us an evolutionary advantage even if it makes you seem at a disadvantage due to the rigid, cookie cutter expectations of the modern world. Autism has always been part of us, it just didn’t become a “problem” until billionaires needed wage slaves that were efficient little drones who fell in line.

That is how I do it yes. As much as feasibly possible. I do really miss the local PC shops and electronics stores… sadly my options for that stuff now are Staples, Best Buy and Amazon…

Unfortunately rich and developed countries with an iron grip on the markets by a few billionaires that control them you see. They ensure our options are limited.

Canadians have very limited choices in terms of services. Even our grocery store shelves are bought out by major corps and local options struggle to get their products on the shelves.

As another example, our banks have no interpayment systems outside the interac system, and they have no standard apis for payment services. So things like apps for managing budgets involve downloading a csv after our billing date passes and a lot of manual work. Most banks offer their own budget apps and they only work with their services.

We have effectively have 3 phone and internet providers… or little guys that resell access to the big 3.

The monopoly man won the game in Canada.
