And then sue the shit of them whenever they implement it without realizing its patented.

Wait, someone should make a gaming organization that just thinks of the most outlandish and ghoulish things to patent them so the big corpos can’t.

The videogame industry specifically is a bit unique I think I’m that most of the time the majority of the artists just get laid off after a large project gets released so there really isn’t any job stability, chance of bonuses, loyalty, etc.

I would never pirate an Indy game but Ubisoft, EA, rockstar, fuck em.

The artist still got paid for their work. They don’t get a bonus if more copies are sold. The only one not getting money is Ubisoft corporate executives and shareholders.

Unfortunately the fastest passenger train currently available on the planet would still take roughly 6 hours to get from Montreal to Vancouver in basically a straight line so probably double or even triple that for a more realistic number with all the corners and ups and downs. We probably won’t be making the fastest train on earth so it would likely still be a 20+ ride from Montreal to Vancouver in the best case scenario.

It’s technically not illegal to invade another country unprovoked. It’s illegal to do war crimes though. You can invade a country and annex it without committing warcrimes.

Why does the federal government allow foreign purchasing of critical hardware manufacturers in canada?

Well, ya but I don’t think it would be 100% identical to trees. Lignin didn’t really even exist for millions of years before trees evolved to fight gravity on land. But underwater you wouldn’t need a strong trunk like that since they would weigh so much less and can evolve buoyancy structures or something like other plants do. Or even short and stout, just massive.

All of those variables to me appear like they would be similar on land. Currents move but so does wind, and I don’t think their are any currents in the ocean that can rival hurricane force winds that trees can contend with.

Sunlight also changes quite a lot on land depending on the season or weather.

Just can’t see why underwater trees aren’t a thing.

Yes but they are tiny.

I’m talking about blue whale type equivalent to aquatic plants. The biggest mammal on the planet lives in the ocean why not the biggest plant or fungus?

I built my first PC 6 years ago, before PS5 was released.

My PC can still play new release AAA games at high quality graphics and probably will for a number of years still… when it starts to slack a couple hundred $ and it will be good as new.

Was pricey up front but in the end better quality, more choice, and longer lasting.

I never got a PlayStation but I was holding out for a PlayStation 6 once it finally got released. If there is no version for physical discs I will definitely not be getting one. Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven’t played in a while and then having to redownload it because you had to delete it to free up space for other games.

So much nicer just to be able to throw a disc in and go.

Probably over 10k CAD. Not sure how old the account Is but it’s quite old.

Ya I’m sure I could find cheaper, but I currently get 150gb data. I’m on the road a lot for work and also have a cabin with no internet access other than through data so I can go through a fair bit.

My main point is that my plans were typically never being increased, only ever offered a decrease.

I’ve personally never had a problem with price hikes? If anything my bill has gone down randomly over the years.

I was with Rogers and then they said hey, switch to fido and get the same stuff for $10 less so I did. Was fine for a few years. Then Rogers had a deal and I switched back, got more data for $10 less.

Started at $80/month and now at $60/month with way more data than I’ll ever need.

Home delivery is quite a bit less secure than community mailboxes.

Community mailboxes all have locked boxes with a designated key to access…

There are very few household mailboxes that have anything to secure the mail. Either it’s a box on the street or a box on your porch, or a slot in your front door maybe.

The street boxes and porch boxes rarely have keys or locks. Anyone can take your mail.

Back in 2016 I got a letter saying I was overplayed like $1800 or something (Pheonix pay system fiasco). Write back asking for the documentation/calculations/proof before I relayed and then never heard a word back from them and no one ever followed up.

Stupid that they will chase $0.20 from someone though, I’m sure there are higher priorities to work on.

People shouldn’t be guaranteed home delivery because of their address.

There should be community mailboxes as a standard and then if you have a mobility issue you apply for home delivery.

At the moment there are many people who aren’t impaired that get home delivery who don’t really need it and cost tax payers more money. Those resources should be directed to those that need it on a case by case basis.

I feel like any lawyer should only be able to bill half their rate if they lose the case
