Sebo has some canister vacuums under $500, they do lack the power head that’s best for carpets.

You can splurge the extra 100-200 bucks and have a power head compatible vacuum, a great warranty, and easy to repair for 20+ years. Hopefully my E3 lasts the rest of my life.

You should install the latest 570 driver for nvidia and try again. I’m not sure how much of a difference it would make but I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt.

Can’t or won’t run on solar, wind, and batteries? Alberta is widely regarded as an effective province for solar, and southern Alberta already has great wind options.

Smith is actively working against renewables. I could understand if we tried to expand either and it didn’t pan out but it’s getting stopped before it starts.

It’d probably be better to put a lot of the R&D money into improving and reinforcing public transport systems. Taking cars off the road and separating cars from pedestrians makes a bigger difference than automating driving.

This is to test the waters for desktop ads I’m sure of it.

Very cool, but can it run flight simulator at 60fps?

A lawsuit for saying no? Sounds like a child throwing an adult tantrum.

Let me rephrase. There are several clock styles included in android. One of which includes a very simple weather readout as part of the clock layout. I couldn’t manage to get it to work correctly myself but I’d chalk that up to having my location services off.

I don’t think I’ll ever comprehend why alternatives to driving are never explored properly. I think roads or equivalents have to be so much more expensive to construct and maintain than a rail.

Heck even a roundabout once in a while helps with traffic flow from what I’ve seen.

Not sure if it’s what you are looking for but I know there is a stock clock style that includes a very barebones weather report. Though, I wasn’t able to get it to work consistently. This was on a pixel 7.

Check out offerings from Yunzii, specifically their aluminium keyboards. Should be far better quality than Razer, also at a better price point for what it is.

A few other options include ajazz, Epomaker, aula, or royal kludge like a couple comments mentioned. They are all similar and offer great bang for your buck.

All are hotswappable and depending on which model you pick, there should be some leftovers for a set of keycaps if the Razer keyboard is your budget.

I work mornings from 03:00 to 11:00. At first I would stay up after work and try and go to bed at 6pm which was definitely hard for social life.

Now I “nap” after eating lunch around noon for anywhere from 2-4 hours, wake up, do whatever needs to be done and then I’m in bed around 9 or 10pm at the latest.

The nights are great for appointments and shopping since everyone is working but that also meant my friends were working and so it’s a little lonely until the weekends. Not sure if it’s healthy the way I’m doing it but I don’t feel sick and I get to enjoy my days more than before!

If you haven’t already you have to try Thrills! It advertises itself as “it still tastes like soap”. Unique and old brand of chewing gum that I think everyone should try once. Shouldn’t be too hard to find and it is certainly available in Canada.

My birthday I keep to myself and whoever remembers remembers haha.

I used to forget others birthdays but the people who matter most to me I’ve made the effort to remember as best I can. Last year I started putting birthdays into my calendar as a recurring event so I don’t miss them. I just set a reminder a week or two prior if I want time to get a gift!

Norm MacDonald has some great bits

I had ordered something on the 23rd and took the free standard shipping for the 27th of December. They emailed me on the 24th that my delivery day was guaranteed to be the 24th. Any other day I would have been pretty happy but it ruined my plans since I needed a one time code to accept the package!

Did threads take off recently or what’s the story? I thought it was unsuccessful as xitter was already the preferred platform

I feel like adequate energy storage would at least alleviate some of the worry on days when there is less production. There has to be days when there is too much energy produced and rather than wasting it, find some way to store it whether it’s batteries or something else.

Real small relative to the other comments but if a loose cart is nearby in the grocery parking lot, I’ll go out of my way to return it. I know I hate seeing an “empty space” and there being a cart in the way and in that case it’ll likely never get moved.
