Same story here. You described it perfectly. Mitutoyo comes next.

This may or may not help, but a nickel is very close to 5 grams. You may be able to slap something silly together with a bunch of nickels taped together :P

Would you say the amount you received in thanks is roughly worth the amount of work you did by marketing and relaying feedback? I’m just curious.

+1 for What Remains of Edith Finch.

I was able to convince a cinematography friend that video games are art with that game. He was more the type to just play Skate 3, Halo, and CoD.

Bastion has a slew of great soundtracks and environments, and I found the story very impactful. Highly recommend trying the game if you can!

Ctrl+Win+V doesn’t do anything for me. The best part about Eartrumpet for me is that you can manage all audio outputs on your system individually. Since I use a virtual mixer, this makes it easy to adjust everything without being to open the mixer, as well as making sure each program is outputting audio to the right place.

+1 for EarTrumpet

It’s probably the most useful program I have on my Win10 machine.

Exactly. I know plenty of people who have driven a car for over 3 decades, and do not know what a timing belt or a spark plug does. I don’t look down on those people, but it certainly makes sense as to why they don’t know. They don’t really need to!

This is a bold statement considering how many daily Windows users don’t understand how to use Windows.

Crazy how you managed to photoshop the decimal point to the left by so many digits!

(I know, it’s only a partial payment)

No, it’s $31.07. You likely combined the 92 cents and 18 cents to a dollar instead of a dollar and 10 cents.

3 days worth of food? Maybe 3 meals for a child, not 3 days.

By utilizing the Choose 2 combo, the total cost (assuming same delivery cost and adjusted tax) would be about $25 dollars including a 20% tip (based on total and not subtotal, as in the picture). However, that would include a medium pizza instead of a small pizza.

It’s not a massive difference. It is definitely a meaningful difference, but it’s still pretty costly for 2 meals worth of food.

A lot of birdwatching, maybe some music-making, and learning to cook very well.

I second Rimworld, easy to get absorbed and forget that you haven’t had dinner and it’s 11PM

Worst part to me is that the majority of people either never used the entirety of the $25 credit, saving Loblaw’s money. Or, they spent more than $25 while shopping and injected more money into the business.

The percentage of people who went through the effort of spending exactly $25 is probably extremely low.

Say hello to your friends for me, I was in Rochester and also got a great view of the great cloud barrier! 🙃

Makes sense.

My personal must-play PSP titles:

• Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
• Patapon 2/3
• Lumines
• Wipeout Pure
• Gran Turismo
• MGS: Peace Walker
• Tekken 6

The problem is that all of this requires infrastructure spending.

Agreed. This is spending that our country isn’t willing to do, mostly because of what we already have (both in terms of infrastructure and in political influence). Personally, I hate this.

As for Cali’s duck curve issue, desalination is a great idea, but expansion of renewables and storage should really come first. Keep in mind that the current Cali grid generates much less dirty power during the day, where solar covers a majority of demand. Should we divert that solar power to desalination, we would need to ramp up dirty power generation during the day, and we would continue to generate dirty power at night.

Even if you only get 30% of the power back with green hydrogen it is power you had too much of in the first place.

While I agree with you, we also have to consider what this would do at scale. The 70% of excess power that you lose here translates to wear on the solar panel systems that is never realized into power. That is, the systems will wear at the same rate, but the amount of power you can utilize over the lifespan of the systems is decreased. It’s still a better solution than not implementing these at all, but I’d be wary as to how reluctant our society would be to the spending, especially if the ratio of cost to utilization(?) becomes skewed.

We’ve been perfectly fine wasting energy for over a century, I don’t see why we should pearl clutch now.

Well, that’s an issue in of itself. It’d be great if we could waste less power in conventional generation, but it’d be even better if we could match or even beat that with renewables. I hope we can reach a point where everyone can agree to implement renewables sooner than later, but I don’t see dirty power’s political influence allowing for changes until renewable is equal to or better than dirty power. Which sucks, but a lot about our political system sucks.
