You are absolutely correct, the USA is not unique in this regard. Its difficult to spot propaganda when living inside the bubble

Its amazing how much propaganda Americans are exposed to on a dailly basis.

Hollywood basically a propaganda machine that always paints the US as a superior power.

News agencies at all levels repeating the same stories from a predefined script.

Once again a step backwards for Ontario.

Turing traffic calmed, safe and inviting Streets that directly serve local residents, business, pedestrians and cyclists, into high volume, high speed Roads that will only add to serve suburban commuters.

This is a battle between local Toronto residents and suburban morning/evening commuters.

Yonge Street and Bloor Street are called Streets, not Yonge Road or Bloor Road.

Streets are "destinations", Roads get you from point A to point B without regard for whats along the way.

Streets make a local community. Roads connect communities over long distances, and in this case will divide a established community in half.

Its called Street Parking, not Road Parking. Have you ever seen someone park on a high speed road (or strode) to run into a shop or backery?

If the plan would be turn Toronto Streets into Roads then I suppose Street parking would be completely removed with the addition of the second lane?

Its like the a majority (or at least the ones in power) are turning into Nazis.

Guess that's why the camps are being built to help people in the population to concentrate, in Texas as a example.

This is the answer, bbc is the solution.

To get less "tech inclined" people to use the bbc feature is another story.

Sending a email to the whole office from HR, bbc all recipients. Then recipients can only reply to HR, and not 600 plus staff members, into a email chain that last all day asking people to stop replying all, while replying all at the same time.

I can't imagin a neighbouring country accepting a large influx of people quickly or willingly. So Texas may find themselves "looking after" the people they send here for a long time.

I may be wrong on the process, but in Germany i believe it started with a community or neighbourhood being walled off. Think of a suburb or maybe a few large city blocks. People had to come and go through checkpoints and some were not allowed to leave.

After which these walled communities became slums or ghettos. Then the Nazis began to ship peoples from these walled communities out to Poland and neighbouring countries (that they invaded) into concentration camps.

History always repeats itself unfortunately.

I don't think you could have said this any better. Thank you.

If you were to see a article that said Texas is offering land to build a affordable housing neighbourhood, people would probably loose their shit in the USA.

Trouble is the plan is to send full families to these camps. These individuals will be waiting here a long time without the agility to freely leave.

Unless they plan to split women, men, and children apart. That means these camps will need to be built like walled neighbourhoods with schools for the kids while they wait. Housing with AC and heating, electricity, plumbing, fire protection. Streets to get around inside the complex, stores or shops.

Maybe a yellow star, it would be bright and big and very visible. You could wear it on your sleeve maybe?

 

I have been having a hard time finding sata power connectors, specifically ones that have the caps. Molex seems to have discontinued the caps for the following product number 0679260002.

Here is a link to one site with the connector, but caps are impossible to source for this.

https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/molex/0679260002/3468570

I have also been looking for Corsair style sata power connectors (type 4), but have had no luck finding if they sell these.

I just finished the process of adding 8 new Seagate Exos 20TB drives to my TrueNAS core system. This question has been asked a lot and it's known seagate drives are loader then most durring operation. Though i could not find anything related to a consistent "shudder" through all my new Exos drives. I have attached a audio clip in the link below. Have any of you come across this specific sound before.

The drives are in a Fractal Design 7 XL case with rubber bumpers in all trays. The case hold 9 WD Red's 12TB, and 8 Segate Exos 20TB. All 17 drives are connected to a SAS 9305-24i in IT mode. Running TrueNAS Core 13.0-U5.3

Does anyone here have any advice on custom PC cables. Specifically what type of wire I should buy and what I should look out for? I am looking for 18awg hookup wire from what I can tell. Let me know if this should work?

We need to make our cities and towns more family friendly. This is called the "missing middle" in housing, and it's why in north america all we see are either large condo towers or single family homes, which also drives our urban sprawl problems. Which exacerbate out dependency on cars.

Almost all new large towers/buildings in north america prioritize bachelor's units 1 and 2 bedroom units. Trying to find a well priced 3 or 4 bedroom in a "lively" downtown center, close to transit and work, with plenty of schooling in the area is almost impossible. It's also a factor in why cities became so empty during the pandemic, ie. Not to many families living permanently in cities.

Here's a good article that also talks about the same issue with some different apparment layouts, and why developers don't provide adequate family units.

https://www.centerforbuilding.org/blog/we-we-cant-build-family-sized-apartments-in-north-america

This together with zoning requirements in north america is pushing most cities and developers to only cater towards large towers or single family housing.

I am hoping someone may have the ability to scan the front and top of a utility gas meter that looks like the one above.

I would like the use this scan to model a front cover similar to the one shown in this link below, but suited for this type of meter.

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4845512

The purpose of this project is to hold a esp32 board to get consistent meter readings and feed them into home assistant. Here is the project below.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Google hits a paywall. On the heels of a deal struck last week between Ottawa and Google, the search behemoth will pay Canadian news publishers $100 million/year for the privilege of hosting their content. Is that a win for Ottawa? Well, on one hand, Canada is now one of the first countries to compel digital platforms to pay (and help keep alive) news publishers. On the other, $100 million is the exact number Google offered pre-standoff and 42% less than what the government wanted. Either way, at least the public can once again access news through Google.

Ottawa has agreed to set a $100-million yearly cap on payments that Google will be required to make to media companies when the government's controversial online news legislation takes effect at the end of the year.

The legislation is called The Online News Act passed earlier this year and would force platforms like Google, Meta, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, to strike deals with Canadian media publishers for sharing, linking, previewing, and directing users to online Canadian news content.

 

It's time to increase fines from $85 to $500 for blocking the box on any and all intersections. Doing so would make it's safer for everyone including pedestrians.
