The landlords, who are identified only by the initials S.O. and K.O., argued they had good reason to expect the rate would remain low when they purchased the property. The Bank of Canada had kept its interest rate low for more than decade, as part of the government's effort to stimulate the economy following the 2008 recession.

… in 2021? We were in the middle of a global pandemic, economy was already starting to show signs of stress, and a nationwide property values had shot up 25% YoY. How did they even manage to make the argument that anyone in their right mind would expect interest rates to remain low until the end of their term?!

I won’t lie, I’m a bit curious why someone asked someone who has never performed an audit to perform one, what they’re actually hoping to find, and what they plan on doing with the results…

GUIX is a GNU Project. You know, Stallman et. al, the guy behind the FSF, or well… the GPL itself (GNU General Public License). If it happens with GUIX, Stallman would be the biggest troll in existence, and we’d have much larger problems to discuss about open source as a whole.

The maximum amount of light that can get in your camera is determined by the aperture size, meaning how large the hole in front of the sensor can open, also commonly called f-stop. Smaller f-stop means more light (as it’s a ratio)

The Realme’s regular wide-angle back camera has a maximum aperture of f/1.8, while Pixel has f/1.85. Meaning technically, they’re more or less equivalent, you shouldn’t get that much more light in so little time. This could be the Realme camera software making really shit post-processing…

I’d rather have them on Bluesky/AT than Threads, to be perfectly honest…

Considering the function name, here’s an obligatory thefuck plug

Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.

Yes, fuck tipping. Absolutely. Pay your employees.

However, “doing [your] part” would be stopping to frequent places that have employees that are tipped. Most of these employees can’t make a living off the base salary. You’re not passing the message you think you may be - the only person you’re penalizing is the employee. The business got your money regardless, why would they pay their workers better?

Hell, around here, minimum wage for tip jobs is a couple bucks lower than regular minimum wage, so not tipping means making those employees pay taxes on tips you didn’t give them lol

It’s literally just a link. They don’t send shit to Kayak unless you decide yourself to click that link. Yes, Kayak could track you. That’s true of most sites they could link to. They also advertise this fact pretty clearly. And as far as I can tell, didn’t they confirm it would be made opt-in?

Total storm in a teacup situation…

Check-in baggage getting more and more restrictive or expensive on weight/size, maybe?

No shame in that, it's literally like getting drunk on lemonade. Shit was delicious.

Not like I've drank any in like 15 years, but I have some fond memories of younger me drinking this crap lol
