$0.11 Canadian/kWh, my usage is about 150kWh per person per month, but I don’t have summer AC. There’s a higher rate beyond a threshold of 675kW/h but that’s still under 15 cents. With a zero-use daily charge including municipal levies about 30 cents per day, and some fluctuations based on power sold, imported and other costs (my last bill had like $3 in credits). All in all about CA$25/mo ($18US).

Charged by BCHydro, the provincial power regulator. I’ve been really shocked at how cheap utilities are overall in BC, I budgeted about 3 times the amount I needed when I first moved.

That’s an interesting view for sure. Thanks for sharing.

to signal boost to the west.

Yes it does that too.

From my understanding the losses occurred mainly from miscommunications between one group sent in to relieve another, or drone and air units with jammer units and that kind of thing. Macroscopic strategy decisions such as the Kursk incursion are not related to that. Clearly it was planned well as intelligence kept it under wraps until its execution. The execution of the defense was poorer on the eastern front such as intergroup communication problems, inadequately prepared defense lines and so on.

The Pokrovsk direction is a real threat for Ukraine, agreed, and also is a gambit wirh inherent risk, agreed. In your view, how much more likely would Ukraine be to fend off the Russian assault on that front had they not?

The diversion is more significant than the article makes it out to be.

On face value, Kursk region isn’t that important to Moscow and they’ve got the strategic points like the nuclear plant on lock. However it’s hard to deny the value of the morale boost that Ukraine desperately needed, even as it has risks as with anything.

The choice for Ukraine is to keep on the defensive, slowly losing its ground, or the same thing happens but Putin is humiliated on the world stage by Ukraine, taking Russian military high command by surprise whether it forces their hand or not.

The Kursk incursion does not change losses caused by poor military coordination present from Ukrainian and Russian command structures.

Do other LAN games work? I don’t think vanilla or modded makes a difference but you can test on both.

Sanity check that you are using Hamachi’s/VPN’s assigned local IP instead of your router’s local IP.

Is the Windows machine the host or Linux? If Windows check that Firewall is disabled for Java (assuming Java edition) and Minecraft.

Not entirely true… even if the Electoral College to determine the President hinges on select swing states, there are many competitive state races for congresspeople, senators, governors, state government department positions. As a concrete example, Ohio is probably voting Trump, but in the Senate, the Democrat Brown appears slightly ahead over Republican Moreno.

Even if your presidential vote means nothing, if you are eligible to vote in the USA, you should still go and vote. Campaigns and pundits do look at the trendlines to see what states could possibly be in play for 2028 and 2032.

One more issue that many environmental advocates raise is that the advanced recycling technology that Exxon claims to have made for recycling all kinds of plastic isn’t exactly effective…

…While this may sound like a viable solution to our plastic problem, it exacerbates the problem, as these processes have highly toxic fumes contributing to air pollution. They would also likely demand a lot of fossil fuels to superheat the recyclables, which adds more greenhouse gas emissions.

That’s why Exxon loves this, they win at both ends! More petroleum demand to make the products, more petroleum to “recycle” the products!

If the UI always looks like that you’d huffed too much Compiz.

Pactl commands will do what I think you want, I keep forgetting the exact syntax. Once you find something that works, you can bind those commands to some key combos to easily switch

I see this as an absolute win! The point of decentralized social media is that discussion happens across many different linked sites. It doesn’t work if lemmy.world is the only big site out there.

Sure have your beef with the admins of another server, but why get upset that discussions are happening there?

I won’t let 4chan take my dreams away from me.

But I’m thinking I may settle for this.

It spawns propaganda videos exactly like the one OP posted, stretching the link of “funding the border wall” to one minor aspect of extending the expiry of money Congress under Trump appropriated.

For better or for worse, to some extent Harris has a degree of separation from Biden, she’s just playing the hand that Biden was dealt, and it’s Democrats’ prerogative to push back against that low-information narrative suggested.

Welp, guess we are doin runaway trolleys now.

This is still the strictly Republican bill that Biden was going to pass but was killed at the direction of Trump to his cult followers in Congress.

This bill may come to pass as is or may not when a bunch of Democrats get in who demand no wall… but this is the perfect carrot to dangle for disenfranchised Republicans at least up to voting day.

I found a solution today using Fcitx, the clipboard addon, and the default shortcut Ctrl+semicolon. However, it works more like a history that pushes each older item down, rather than 10 separately accessible boxes. It seems as though it will work with the use case you described.

Note: I have no idea how well Fcitx is supported in Wayland.

Found the post, for some reason I had a lot of trouble finding it when I was looking around before posting.

@electricprism@lemmy.ml maybe this will help you as it is Linux distro-agnostic. I have not tested on Wayland, though. For good measure I’ll add a comment on the original post.

I hope this could help anyone else out who can take advantage of this feature, or turn it off if they are worried about the feds after them.

I was about to say this. The cheese is by the table.

For Steam games, it’s simply a matter of checking the “Enable Steam Play for all Other Titles”, and you’re all set. Depending on your library, 50-80% will work with no discernable difference, besides maybe a slightly longer download and open time. Check out protondb.com which will give you an idea of how many you can expect to work at least somewhat, including using your own Steam public profile if you wish.

Some games will need a couple small tweaks, ie a specific Proton version to manually copy in, a game setting like Borderless Window, or worst case a few terminal commands but they are set and forget in every instance I’ve encountered. Protondb has comments of others who will share their experience and sometimes how they got something to run well if it doesn’t out of the box.

Non-Steam games also work. Lutris is the easiest way to set it up, but it can be done manually too. Both wine and proton will work, let me know if you want a tutorial for manual set up but it’s too long for one comment.

Now for issues:

Drivers are okay for most general stuff (mic, headset, mice, keyboards, gamepads), specialized stuff requiring proprietary drivers is a crapshoot. I’ve a 2nd hand DAC I can’t use on Linux for Rocksmith.

Games that will not work and likely will never rely on invasive anticheat. So it’s a waste of time to try and run Rainbow 6 Siege, Fortnite, Valorant or League of Legends. Without the anticheat the games could run perfectly fine.

I know you are talking about interactions between 2 people on foot. However, when it comes to automobile and pedestrian interaction, interestingly, the government of the Canadian Province of Ontario has a website dedicated to pedestrian safety, and specifically recommends walking on the side of oncoming traffic:

If there is no sidewalk on a street, or if you use a wheelchair or scooter and the sidewalk you encounter is not wheelchair-accessible street, you should:

• travel along the left shoulder of the road facing oncoming traffic
• look for a way to get onto a sidewalk safely as soon as you can

So some may apply this principle to a different situation.
