CanadianCorhen,

Starting Sept. 3, anyone who accepts work through these and other gig-based apps, such as ride-hailing and delivery services, must receive $20.88 an hour from the time they accept an assignment to the time it is completed, the province says

The $20.88 figure is 20 per cent higher than B.C.'s minimum wage of $17.40 an hour in order to address the gaps between gigs, the government says. Like the minimum wage, it will be adjusted annually to keep up with inflation.

So, yea, doesnt sound like it includes operating expenses, but thats why its higher than just minimum.

CanadianCorhen,

i think if steam took 0%, the number of bugs in larger games would remain completly unchanged.

It might help the smaller devs, but not the big games.

CanadianCorhen,

Good, those chemicals are no joke, and they decided to shut down instead of do the minimum

CanadianCorhen,

I’m assuming theres a dropped /s?

People will absolutely vote against their own interest to make someone they dislike hurt.

CanadianCorhen,

only one i could think of is maybe Russia, and they are more expansionist authoritarian than imperialist

CanadianCorhen,

my wife had activly bad credit, bad enough she couldn’t co-sign for the mortgage. joined the credit union no problems. Never heard of a credit union caring about your debts as long as you are not taking a debt through them (ie a morgatge or loan)

CanadianCorhen,

Its more than pure price, the quest 3 is also higher resolution, stand alone, pancake lenses, wireless…

I have a quest 3, and absolutely love mine, use it both for wireless pcvr and standalone gaming.

CanadianCorhen,

i hope so. the setup of my quest 3 is so fast, literally seconds. Love taking it out to show friends.

CanadianCorhen,

Not really, the “meta nonsense” is the entire operating system,

You can always just use it for PCVR, and never use the meta store. You can also just sideload apps.

CanadianCorhen,

For sure, not sure if it’s possible to bypass that, but even if you get banned, you can still PCVR

CanadianCorhen,

My wife and I agreed not to. We live in a small community, but have the following:

A small, independent market Your Independent Grocer (owned by loblaws) IGA (mostly independent)

Definitly options even in a community of only 10k people.

CanadianCorhen,

worked at costco for a year. It was great. full of old timers, and lots of respect for the staff.

CanadianCorhen,

Poilievre refused, saying only that he agreed to replace “wacko” with “extremist” or “radical.” Poilievre’s refusal prompted Fergus to remove him.

Because describing the fairly elected leader of Canada as “Extremist” is such a reasonable thing to do.

Taps will be turned off if water rules are defied: Merritt mayor (www.cbc.ca)

Extreme drought conditions and the likelihood of another challenging fire season have prompted a community in one of the driest parts of the province to start managing its water supply early — and turning off the taps for people who don’t follow the rules....

CanadianCorhen,

i agree fines should scale, however i would do it to property value, instead of income.

CanadianCorhen,

Shrinkflation has been around for a long long time, remember it in the early 2000s, and I bet it happened before then too.

Until we get bills to address this, banning reducing serving size without a large label, it will continue

CanadianCorhen,

I wish

CanadianCorhen,

if there was a “tip” option where 100% of the money went to the employees at the game developer, and not the company, then maybe.

But no, this will just be used to boost profits.

CanadianCorhen,

Now THATS A hot take.

Alberta tables law to prevent federal 'manipulation' of municipalities (www.cbc.ca)

The Alberta government has introduced legislation that would require provincial entities such as universities, school boards and municipalities to get approval before making any funding deals with Ottawa. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the legislation would ensure federal funding is aligned with provincial priorities.

CanadianCorhen,

Alberta really hates its children, huh.

CanadianCorhen,

Nah, we need to get a handle of our carbon emissions. Right now is the cheapest time to address them, and as much as it sucks right now, it will be more expensive tomorrow.

CanadianCorhen,

pizza boxes can be composed in my community, or paper bags that have food oils in them.

CanadianCorhen,

I’m traditionally very anti-millitary, but with the increased pressure from Russia and the war in Ukraine I think this is a good call. If we make ourselves look like too easy a target, or make our allies feel like we are not willing to pull our weight, we are undermining ourselves.

CanadianCorhen,

~50% of grocery inflation can be attributed to increase profits, and grocery chains profits are larger than ever: www.cbc.ca/…/grocery-price-analysis-1.6774669

If only 32% of people are blaming grocery stores, 68% need to rethink their stance.

CanadianCorhen,

good. no kid should go to school hungry.

CanadianCorhen,

I’m curious why a) you assume that an immigrant will immediately be on welfare, b) why and immigrant would be eligible for welfare and c) where our low-skill labour is, considering how many unfilled jobs there are.

CanadianCorhen,

Godspeed, MTG, and good luck! Eat yourself alive GOP

CanadianCorhen,

And it only took how many years of people saying “wow, this is a really bad idea”

I loved OW1, went and saw a couple OWL games live, put hundreds of hours in…

No interest in OW2.

CanadianCorhen,

yea, a daylight white in the kitchen, and in your hobby rooms,

A warm white in your living room and bedrooms.

CanadianCorhen,

yea, that would be ideal!

CanadianCorhen,

Yea, misread that as “80 year old dies after pushing woman infront of vehicle, always helpful”

CanadianCorhen,

Yea yea yea, we know facts trigger you, you don’t need to shout it.

CanadianCorhen,

Good.

You don’t have a freedom of speech on Canada. You have a guaranteed freedom of thought, belief and expression… But not a garenteed audience, or the right to force people to listen.

CanadianCorhen,

Remember during the Vancouver protest, when the protesters blocked an ambulance?

Yea, none of that plz

CanadianCorhen,

Of course, a mount like this would have been part of an achievement or an in-game event. Now its just “open your wallets”

CanadianCorhen,

Why do I have a feeling he’s going to get 20 years, and you will still pretend he’s only getting a couple months.

CanadianCorhen,

Exactly.

If the court hand found any other way, then any time the chatbot makes a mistake, they just wash their hands of it and let the consumer takes the hit.

This means they are responsible for what the chatbot says, and is at least moderately sane.

CanadianCorhen,

when i was in the UK, i took a train from london to Glasgow. train was >200kph, and, without exaggeration, as quiet as a library.

Arrived 15 minutes before it left, had a beer on it, was in glasgow in no time. Highly recommended.

CanadianCorhen,

My brother isn’t going to have kids, and my wife is an only child. My son won’t have any cousins.

That said, I’m really close with my cousins, and if they have kids (which they plan to), I think we will basically just move that cousin relationship on generation over

CanadianCorhen,

parental rights are when the government gets in between a doctor, their patient, and the patients family.

CanadianCorhen,

very disgusting to see the Canadian right take the worst pages out of the American playbook, and say “we can bring that up here”

CanadianCorhen,

really a cool tech, cant imagine how it would work. Could definitely make walking in VR a lot less cumbersome.

Dissapointed in Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller

Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled “best controller for PC”, found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick...

CanadianCorhen,

whether they like it or not, it should still be included on a “premium” product, when the Wii U controllers had it!

CanadianCorhen,

i get that, but adding a gyro is really, really minor, just a couple modules on a PCB

CanadianCorhen,

Then they shouldn’t have laid siege to the downtown of our capital, harassed the residents, blocked a trade route, and included people with a Nazi flag.

Don’t have problems with 99% of truckers in Canada, just the ones who tried to take away my freedoms and overturn a recently elected government to install their own (whats the word for that again?)

CanadianCorhen,

I sure she will invite a oil sands baron to tell us it’s not a problem.

CanadianCorhen,

Yea, if they say “we didnt know what that insinuated”, and there are no other dog whistles, I’m happy that they responded so well and quickly!

I think just changing it to “Infestation 1988” would have also been enough…

Though, “infestation 88” a game about killing nazis, would also work!

CanadianCorhen,

oof. yea, thats not a good sign.

CanadianCorhen,

Yea,

We mainly print stuff for D&D, and documents. Got a cheap laser printer. Printed thousands of sheets, on our second toaner.

When we need pictures printed, we just go to the local print shop and get them for $0.50 each.
