Villeneuve has been really disappointing. He was good with smaller, more gritty stuff but isn’t a good epic director.
It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks

They'll get more votes but people are still going to vote strategically because what choice do they have.
Tenant providing bear minimum information and impatient landlord. Engaging post OP.
You can find them by looking for 'edison' bulbs. Any of those distinct visible coil bulbs are edison, vintage look.
PJ White is my favourite - near Lee Valley on SW Marine. I haven't purchased anything since they changed ownership.
I also have a phone number of a tree feller who processes some of his cuts, but I haven't called him. If there are a couple people interested he might be willing to sell.
There are more useful web apps than before but blog/affiliate sites are a plague.
That said if I could make a ton of money by clogging up the internet with garbage content then I would. There is nothing holy about this place.
I don't think it's about being doomed and giving up. For me it's just accepting the fact that a change of course is going to happen at whatever rate it is going to happen because the people who are driving it will do whatever they are compelled to do or want to do. Whether that is fast, or slow, or not at all barely feels like any of my business. I do what I can individually.
I went to a climate protest in Canada last week and it was way to tame to actually get anything accomplished.
The main part of the protest was walking down a main artery. For protesters, there is incentive to walk slowly and spread out to make the walk longer and disrupt status-quo longer, but the organizers clearly only had permission to march for a specific duration so they were in the back hurrying people forward so we'd stay within our allotted time window. Maybe 30 minutes. Once a year. It was pointless.
Add to that that 90% of the people there were exactly the people you'd expect to be there and it just felt like a waste of time.
I think this conversation is more about office workers than site workers. You need to get on site to do the work but office workers don't need to actually go in, they are being told they have to come in and the time needed to adhere to an enforced policy should be included in the work day.
I'm not paid well at my current job but it's also close and I can walk/bike.
I'm looking at jobs that pay me a lot more and it's not worth it since I have to buy, license, and maintain a car then on top of that I'm driving into work, which blows.
You again! Do you post more tame content on lemmy.ml and keep the bonkers on lemmygrad? If so, that's appreciated.
(Also no to ownership. All the offices are leased.)
Lol no I wish!
I swear to god we just had all our leases expire and chose to renew ALL OF THEMMMM.
In fact, for the main office we've just signed a new multi-year lease in a new building. It's smaller tho. Renovations currently in progress.
But no raises. Times are too tough.
Ugh I really want to out the company I work at. Of all companies we should be going and advocating for remote.
But we aren't. 'Because being with each is SO valuable'.
Some actual low-res examples:
Political or not a non-profit is a non-profit. Unity defines charity some new way I guess.
Maybe, but our heads don't need all that space to themselves. Room for 1.25
I have one colleague who does it and they work in HR. No one else does that shit.
I've started going to the gym
I like the idea of body weight routines, but when I've tried them in the past it's usually meant that I tried to convert my apartment into a gym. I try to turn a corner, the sink lip, the floor, the walls and more recently a pull up bar into a sort of "gym" and it's never worked out for me.
I started paying for a gym a while back and have been going almost every day that I can and I've found it a lot easier to help me get into routine to the point that I think trying to start out with bodyweight was a mistake.
As a (perpetual) beginner I've always struggled finding the right intensity and variation of workout. I find the gym equipment lowers that difficulty. I can spend 20 minutes on a bike (no hills, no traffic, no stop signs, no people, no weather) and then stretch using a roller and a pad, then hop onto a machine having never used it before, glance at the instructions, pick a weight and go.
I've just noticed this over the last few weeks and I guess what I'm wondering is if you
Canada holds interest rate at 5%
The Bank of Canada today held its target for the overnight rate at 5%, with the Bank Rate at 5¼% and the deposit rate at 5%. The Bank is also continuing its policy of quantitative tightening.
Maybe not the end of rate hikes but at least a pause. 10 or so consecutive increases I appreciate the pause.
Food fillers?
I like adding things to my icecream, usually peanut butter and frozen fruit. Got to thinking that if I added oats I could actually increase the volume without impacting the flavour all that much (I like oats). I could probably use floured starches or something like that.
Are there other things you "fill"? I think juice + water is the most familiar example. What about something like adding 20% dehydrated milk to fresh milk? Substituting some butter for oil?
Sometimes I find when I'm making my own stuff it ends up being more expensive than buying the packaged variety from the store, but maybe fillers are a way to balance that out.
