I pay $10/month for copilot because it saves me a lot more than $10 in time not spent typing out boilerplate or searching through garbage documentation.

It frees up my mind to focus on the actual software architecture instead of the quirks of the language.

I want to see AI Voyager episodes like people are doing for the Simpsons and family guy. Basic 3d models interacting with each other using generated dialog.

Just Janeway and crew wandering the Delta quadrant violating the prime directive in the name of coffee.

I don’t know if it works differently in the US but the best way to build your credit score is to not take on debt.

Keeping your credit utilization low and not missing any payments is the key. It’s an indication of how likely you are to meet the payments.

If you max your credit cards out and just pay the minimum amount, carrying thousands of dollars of debt and as a result can’t get a mortgage or a car loan because your credit score is shit then the system is working as expected.

No these look accurate. My mom adds extra tomato juice and cooks them low and slow until the cabbage melts in your mouth and the edges of the pan turn black.

The big issue I have with most cabbage rolls is they put too much emphasis on the filling. The filling doesn’t matter, the spices don’t matter. It’s all about the cabbage. Towards the end of the batch I usually end up scooping out the filling and just eating the cabbage leaves and leftover tomato.

Many of these recipes come from Ukrainian immigrants in North America. The size of the cabbage rolls also vary from region to region.

My mother has a similar recipe to this that was passed down from my great grandmother, that she got from her Ukrainian neighbors in Saskatchewan in the 1920s.

I had a coworker who was second generation Ukrainian-Canadian who has almost the exact same recipe.

These types of cabbage rolls are hard to find because nobody wants to poach them in tomato juice for 6 hours, and the result is tough chewy cabbage. Can’t buy them, can’t find them in any restaurant.

My wife switched from iPhone to Android and has the opposite problem. She never dismisses her notifications, so her notification bar is constantly full and she’ll have 30+ notifications in the tray.

My OCD couldn’t handle that. If I get a message that I don’t want to respond to I leave it there because I know that eventually the OCD will overcome the social anxiety and I’ll have to respond to it.

There is no continent called “America”. We have North America and South America.

When someone says “South American” I don’t think Alabama I think Brazil or Argentina.

The term “North American” is commonly used when you’re describing something that applies to both Canada and the US. Eg. “North American sports teams”.

We commonly use the term “Central American” when referring to Mexico, El Salvador, etc. because even though they are technically in North America there is a strong cultural divide, similar to how the middle East is technically Asia, but you’d never refer to someone from Saudi Arabia as “Asian”.

Protest laws generally revolve around the right to peacefully assemble. If the stated intention of your ‘protest’ is to block traffic and cause gridlock then that falls to meet the definition of ‘peaceful’, as it puts public safety at risk.

One of the linked articles quotes the Essex police who mention that one of the people impacted was a pregnant woman in medical distress, unable to receive medical care due to the actions of these ‘protestors’. I would imagine there were dozens of similar incidents over the 37 hours they held the city hostage.

Remember when Google said that if the result you wanted wasn’t on the first page that they had failed?

The problem is the first page is now 2 sponsored links, a widget suggesting 10 YouTube videos, 5 search results for a related search, and two actual search results for the thing you are looking for.

We almost need a browser widget that appends &page=2 to any google search result.

This is the way. There are so few places to smoke in BC that I pretty much only ever see people doing it 5 metres from a bus stop.

They are so expensive that the few people that still do it smoke maybe a pack a week.

We even banned the sale of no-nic vape juice because they were becoming a gateway to nicotine addiction for teenagers.

I can increase my cellphone plan with the click of a button.

If I want to decrease it that same button redirects to a live chat where I have to talk to one of their agents.

Their agents will genuinely give you a better deal, but for some reason can’t change your plan to a lesser one without breaking your contract, causing hundreds of dollars in extra fees.

The brick and mortar agents can do it in 2 minutes with no hassle. You walk in and say I want this plan, show your id, sign the change request and you’re done.

I don’t even think they are doing it on purpose. Why would they have a button that connects me to someone they are paying to convince me to give them less money per month? They cut my wife’s bill in half because she is month to month.

It’s just Hanlons Razor. Supreme incompetence.

Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.

If I want to watch every game I need to subscribe to 3 different services and pay something like $60/month, and I’m in an out of market area.

If a game can’t run on the Series S it means it also can’t be ported to the PC. Turn down the resolution and graphics settings until you get the same fps target and continue in with your day.

I would expect any game from a developer that complains about this to be so poorly optimized that it runs like it would on the Series S on the bigger consoles, and likely have garbage gameplay as well because they spent all of their budget on graphics.

My new connector hell is trying to find a micro usb cable to charge that one device I still have that uses it.

It’s also worth pointing out that Apple is part of the USB-IF and was one of the early pioneers of the Type C connector, so it’s not like the EU is forcing them adopt some random foreign design.
