I use it all the time. If you need a right angle, 3-4-5 gives you one, and that's Pythag, baybeee.

Lose the sugar and add a date or two. Makes it whip up into a totally different consistency for some reason.

I get the need for them, to pay for shared building services. Strata fees pay for exercise rooms, pools, grounds maintenance, whatever. I 100% am behind them, as long as the Strata council is responsive to needs and not corrupted, but there's the rub.

I'd generally be happier with few services and low strata fees tho.

Yeah. I'm pretty much resigned to living in our rental until we get renovicted. No kids, double income, a lot of savings... but the mortgage payments would be way more than it's worth to have a minor upgrade. Strata payments alone are often more than our rent!

Not Vancouver. Nothing that size would go less than 2 million until you hit Coquitlam. MAYBE.

I've found that changing my email address works better than unsubscribe sometimes. Just change it to a tagged address and set up a filter. Shields you against future sales as well.

All the Trump emails go rbos+fucktrump now. Probably a hundred a day. Unsubscribe did not work.

Also, Canadian. Incompetent jerks.

Seconded. Great rice. Excellent flexible do-everything-reasonably-well appliance.

I don't think that is necessarily out of the running yet. OS development is expensive and low profit. Commodification may be inevitable. Control of the shell and GUI, where they can push advertisements and shovelware and telemetry on you, that is profitable.

So in 20 years, 50? I predict proprietary OSes will die out eventually, balance of probability.

They also tend to have linux support. Where the AAA companies want to eat the entire mammoth and scorn the scraps, small companies can thrive off of small prey and the offal. :)

I'm sure he'll be happy with the Sudetenland!

Space Engineers scrapyard scenario. So... Satreus has oxygen, so as long as I can scavenge a power source to power my suit recyclers, there's not a lot that'll be a problem. Wander around collecting stuff. Make a comfy habitat.
