A phone CPU challenging a top of the line desktop GPU is crazy.

I hope the latter.

The food in couche tard is just so uninspiring. Not downright terrible, but pretty overpriced for what they are.

Homicide rate in Winnipeg is 5/100k: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=3510007101&pickMembers%5B0%5D=2.2&cubeTimeFrame.startYear=2020&cubeTimeFrame.endYear=2023&referencePeriods=20200101%2C20230101

Definitely much worse than being in Poland, where the rate is 0.68, one of the lowest in Europe.

This attack comes less than eight months after another incident where a Ukrainian newcomer was stabbed and killed on his way to work at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Watt Street, several blocks from where Sokolova was attacked.

I'm starting to think those attacks could be ethnically-motivated. Especially asking if they are Ukrainian before attacking. I wonder if the two events are connected.

Yeah I forgot Manitoba was mostly relying on hydro!

I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

Fire to improve productivity???

Yeah with a docker container running 24/7 and a phone app it's much better. they also have a setting where deleted files on phone are simply moved to archive on the server.

Having setup both, ive found syncthing to be much simpler. I would probably not go through the headache of setting up https and databases for next cloud again...

Opening up the tools for becoming competitive in the market would be a good start. Crazy that it's harder to start your own farm or restaurant than to build your own web service company or open your own online clothing brand.

Yeah problematic tenants are an issue, especially when the landlords are elderly folks whose alternative would be to seek professional management or sell it to REITs, both of which exacerbate the issue of rent price.

I think a rent cap could be a good way. It could be raised wrt to inflation. Then, government housing, better loan systems for non profit and maximize density to allow building taller rather than wider (making land cost minimal), but not tall enough that would create increased cost (elevators are expensive to maintain for example). A lot of initiatives need to be put in place, but one that could be effective is to lower costs of construction and find ways to increase productivity by improving resource management
