Almost certainly not, but I’m just trying to point out it’s not a hardware limitation. Though, if it was installed remotely, they would probably have issues printing locally.

You’re not completely wrong, as they also have thin clients which should be technically capable of running a word processor. It’s just a question of whether the prison is going to implement that no/low-cost solution.

Yes, I literally am a government employee, and formerly worked in the military in Radio Comms and IT, often with Top Secret communications and infrastructure . I am intimately familiar with government procedures and limitations.

I never said that end-users would be setting up LibreOffice. I’m just pointing out there’s a low/no-cost solution, and it isn’t a hardware limitation.

The thin clients should be capable of running LibreOffice, or at least running it remotely.

Ground guide or at least a crew commander at the top of the tank/armoured fighting vehicle. I can see lots of people accepting a lookout on top of their Personal Support Truck before they’d consider downsizing or gulp not driving. I guess that would also increase vehicle occupancy above the abysmal 1.4 people/vehicle it’s currently at!

How much of those parking lots do you think is dedicated to tailgating? (Hint: It’s a minor fraction of the overall surface lots).

Tailgating originates out of the lack of nearby bars, restaurants, public spaces around stadiums. That’s why there’s a trend of newly-built/in-planning stadiums in urban areas with entertainment districts attached. They’ve realized there’s money to be made, and creating walkable spaces just puuumps out the cash.

First off, not an officer, a high ranking enlisted(E-8) personal was the culprit.

Typically, anything E-4 or higher is considered a Non-Commisioned Officer.

EDIT further clarification: from my experience in the Canadian Army, what “Officers” means depends on context. Most often (and what !Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de probably meant) it means just Commissioned Officers. Other times, it’s anyone in leadership, including NCOs.

I think you have the cause and effect backwards.

It doesn’t say “own a car”, it says “own car”. As in, “How do you get to work?” “By my own car.”

The Verge’s recommendation of Brother Printers

Yes, they literally wrote that article as a meme. It’s been a joke on the VergeCast for years that their printer recommendation is, “Get the cheapest Brother printer that meets your needs (duplex, scanner, colour, etc). You’ll almost certainly be happy with it.” In your case, even if you don’t want it, you’ll probably get a scanner, but it doesn’t add that much to the price.

You realize an ATM doesn’t have a teller…

The original post was about GTA, so I talked about the GTA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn’t know they were extending the Confederation Line. As I said, it’s a completely different region of the province, and I’m not as familiar with the national capital region. However, I know this statement

5 years ago, there was no rail system

is BS. The Trillium line is over 2 decades old.

That’s not a project in progress, so I didn’t include it. It’s also in a completely different region than the GTA, while all those projects are in the GTHA (except maybe Waterloo).

Pretty much all public works projects go over budget. Pretty much all private private projects also go over budget. However, people only complain about public transit projects going over budget. There are some legitimate reasons for this, like lack of institutional knowledge, but I think people hyper-fixate on public transit while roads “just have to be built, whatever the cost.”

TBF, Ontario (and most importantly, Toronto) are going through the biggest transit expansion in all of North America. For those unaware, I’ll list some of the projects by transit agency:

• TTC (Toronto local transit) has a new metro (the Ontario Line/eventually Line 3), and 2 new LRT/light-metro lines under construction
• GO (region transit) is undergoing a huge expansion where they’re increasing frequency and electrifying the lines, while also doing a bunch of smaller projects to decrease travel times and points of conflict
• Mississauga/Brampton have the Hurontario LRT under construction (also owned by GO/Metrolinx, but local transit, so I separated it)
• Hamilton’s LRT is in planning
• ION LRT in Waterloo is planning Stage 2

There are too many bike infrastructure projects to mention, and a lot of new urbanist developments.

At the same time, the provincial government also has a number of projects that are crazy car-centric, like Highway 413, so it’s not all good.

I don’t think I’ve ever had to log into the Google Home app, it just uses the accounts on my phone. Or is this some sort of situation where, “I’m too Android to understand this problem?”

I’m still wearing an OG Pebble (I’ve had about a dozen Pebbles total) . However, they’re starting to get more rare and expensive. Also, while I’m still on Android 12, I understand Android 14 can break the app.

That would be a pretty poor off-roader too. Lifting a truck can be helpful for ground clearance, but that much is just vanity. Instead of hitting the bumper or the frame, you’d just hit the diff, etc. and you’ve moved the centre of gravity up so much, tipping over is a concern. And once again, those rims aren’t functional and will get mud everywhere and make things worse.

I agree a truck might be useful to a contractor, but not that truck. It’s lifted to an unusable height, and those rims are all flash, no function.
