Hoonigan made a video on a twin engine MX3 a few years back. Not quite 4, but it’s a cool car nonetheless.

Terrariums. I love miniature things, including tiny ecosystems. There’s a few communities on Lemmy, but they’re mostly inactive, and have a tiny amount of subscribers.

Late 1800’s is when the town was established. Lots of houses from then are still standing, but a good number of them have had additions built, so they’re not 100% original.

Yeah, you right.

Live? Yes. Remain sane? That’s to be determined.

Really though, I watch it for entertainment purposes 95% of the time. If YouTube were to seize to exist, I’d probably find an alternative or stick to streaming services like Twitch.

Out of curiosity, would they be subject to these laws/protocols/regulations if they are (developers or organization) based in the US, but offer releases hosted elsewhere in the world AND/OR develop the product with code hosted elsewhere in the world?

My manager made a last minute trip from Toronto to Montreal because he it was cloudy. He was all geared up for taking photos, and he in fact did get some extremely cool shots.

I’m in northern Ontario, so unfortunately I couldn’t experience the full effect.

It is informative, but how often does the average person read this kind of information? Especially when they are set on doing something simple, such as turning off Bluetooth. What if you never use the settings menu, and only turn it off from the notification drawer? They never see that information. Not to mention that it’s such a small option (even though it’s a big paragraph) that they make it seem like they don’t want the user to disable it completely.

What they should do, is when the user disables Bluetooth the first time (anywhere on the phone), a pop up is at least shown to instruct the user that it is still scanning in the background. That way the user is informed. OR, hear me out, have background scanning disabled by default and prompt the user to enable it the first time they disable Bluetooth.

Software engineer. Work from home and I use the same monitors for work and personal.

Usually for work, I have code in the middle, specs on the left and the app on the right. When I’m not using specs, I have Spotify or video related things on one monitor.

For personal use, gaming is done on the middle monitor. Sometimes I have Spotify on the left, video on the right. Sometimes it’s a mix of discord/video/spotify on the left and right monitors. Sometimes I have a hockey game on one monitor and YouTube on the other.

Middle is my main.

It’s not often I don’t have something on all monitors.

My uncle owned an 80’s suburban. That thing was an absolute tank… and not in a good way. The steering had so much play in it, you had to turn the wheel about 45 degrees for there to be any input.

A fedex truck actually ended up t-boning him, and the truck flipped. He was fine. Suburban wasn’t. Probably for the best.

Not a rule, but I got in trouble by jumping near a brick wall. The school I went to had bars on the bottom windows, and kids used to jump off the wall and hang off them. During recess, I was jumping beside the wall, and got yelled at.

It was a catholic school. Most teachers were garbage. Except this one Australian teacher. He was awesome.

Small town. I was born and raised in Toronto/GTA. Moved to a small town during Covid, where my dad was born and raised… Absolutely love it. I do of things I was never able to do (or did) in the city. I can do all of those things alone and without people watching (wonderful, as an introvert).

I do occasionally travel to Toronto for work, and I absolutely despise it. First day, I want to go back home. Too much chaos. Too much traffic. Too much people. I simply don’t know what to do when I’m there and have free time.

Digital. I use Kindle and just submit to Amazons monthly fees.

While working, anything with lyrics will distract me, so usually it’s Kai Engel. If it’s shit I need to do around the house, usually metal.

I still use Reddit for research purposes (programming and auto related things). But I also got rid of other means of social media like Twitter and Instagram. I still have a Facebook account, but it’s strictly for communications with family.

I only use Lemmy and Mastodon (for hockey news).

The course I took in college had 2 required classes for COBOL. A large majority of students did not like it, but I understand why it was (and still is) being taught. Huge demand. I enjoyed it at first, but then gradually started to dislike it, especially when getting into more complex problems. I’d have commically large files where 60-70% of the file itself is taken up by data definitions. Not to mention that the logic itself could probably be a fraction of the size in higher level languages… Not forgetting to properly tab your code was also hard to get used to. I’d consistently lose marks on that.

If you can learn to love it, it’s probably a fantastic career path…

Those who do enjoy it, I really do envy you. I really did want to like it, but it just didn’t work out.

Interesting. I drink black coffee, but I have tried with molasses… it’s not bad by any means, but not something I would drink every day. Never once have I tried maple syrup (and I’m Canadian). I’ve tried maple flavoured coffee, but it didn’t taste great. I’ll have to give it a shot.

I tend to use random lines of code that don’t make much sense.

For example:

W0rds::Format(a[0],b[9])->Render(delta);

Lengthy, memorable, incorporates numbers, special characters, upper and lowercase.

The challenge is having to type it in on phones or other devices not a computer.

I don’t currently use a password manager, but I probably should.
