I'm aware but I haven't heard people's experiences with them. I ask because I'm shopping for water heating right now and debating the expense of getting 240 run to the water heater for a heat pump.

Electric tankless sounds impossible (yes, I know they exist, I just mean they don't sound like something that should be able to), since the amount of BTUs required to run a gas tankless at peak is absolutely nuts -- tankless gas water-heaters run on 3/4" pipe instead of the normal 1/2" since they need to have so much burst heat. That doesn't sound possible for electric.

AFAIK the law here in Ontario is that pedestrians can cross mid-block on a non-controlled-access-highway (ie a regular road not expressway) as long as any oncoming vehicles have plentiful space to safely come to a complete stop. You only lose the right-of-way as a pedestrian if you're doing something that forces drivers to make emergency manoeuvres.

Dishwashers are actually greener than hand-washing. Do I have to link the TechnologyConnections video?

The most shameful thing is that many applications that would fail to come back with all their state after restart were Microsoft's own programs like Sql Server Management Studio -- that one does better now, but well over a decade too late.

Thinking it further: Combined F-Zero + Super Mario Kart maker.

Especially when your country is 5% Indian-Canadian; that's a lot of voters to enrage.

Imho this only happened because of the CSIS leaks like the one about MP Chong's family being targeted in China. Trudeau probably figured this story would be better from him than from the press - keeping the geopolitical dirty laundry out of the public view was never an option because of the leaker.

ship combat also felt nice

Ooh, that was the thing I was really curious about -- too many "space" games are just conventional FPS games set on various alien worlds and space stations, with only minimal nods to interplanetary vehicles.

Municipal government says no.

You do need 8D chess if the king can't control the pawns and the pawns don't want to move.

the run down on how this merger was permitted

Harper appointed justice Paul Crampton

That's my big worry. The company is now too big and too expensive to slow down. There's a real possibility that this mess results in mass layoffs at LMG, either because public backlash kills their profitability or they accept how screwed up they are and slow down and take some time to fix things and this results in a drop in output that means they can no longer afford their current scale. I don't know how much runway they have. And in that scenario it's the most vulnerable employees and not the problem-people in leadership who'd be facing the music, which is awful.

Well the first question is, if you throw lube on the chain (and everything that touches the chain like all the gears) and put air in the tires and then take it for a spin, what feels wrong? The brakes? The shifters? Do the tires hold air? Are the brakes dragging even when you don't touch them? Can you shift through all the gears without unseating the chain? Those are in my experience the common afflictions of a neglected bike, but if its been kept dry it might be surprisingly rideable.

I could see a permanent one working with a different model. Like 1 pixel per hour with a fixed drop rate (instead of this "stay and place as fast as you can for best performance"), and you can hold like 36 pixels. Once a month you move the canvas 200 pixels to the right, so the leftmost zone slides into read-only-world.
