I like my meeting where we don’t have a fixed agenda but anyone can bring something up. If there’s nothing, we just end the meeting.

How do you prevent meetings from meandering and going over time? How do you ensure the correct people are in the meeting when there's no agenda?

Signal exists, Telegram exists, and many providers are actually not charging per sms.

In many countries, WhatsApp's data usage is zero-rated, which makes WhatsApp more attractive than Signal, Telegram, etc.

Not explicitly planning on it currently, but it is something that's in the back of my head. If denaturalizations do start happening, we would have a frank conversation about what to do. I don't know that we would stay in America. The tail risks would simply be too high.

I don't know, its frightening to think about. I don't think its LIKELY, yet. but i cant say its UNTHINKABLE anymore.

"If denaturalizations do start happening" sounds much too late to start talking about it. Best to be prepared sooner than later with how quickly everything is regressing.

I could not read the entire article due to paywall, but I think tipping less will actually drive businesses to pay a proper wage to the people providing the service. I try to tip 5% more than the expected amount as I am aware that people working in many of these jobs are not paid enough. However, its absolutely ridiculous when I am asked to leave a tip on self checkout kiosks. That should be illegal.

dhritzkiv · 8 months ago

One thing to consider –especially at "non-standard" tipping establishments– is how much of the tip goes to the server/cashier.

CBC's Marketplace did some investigating [1], and found that in many cases, the owner or manager pocket part or all of the service tip, even in provinces where this is not legal.

Someone please help this little skeptic: is that video real, or Midjourney? The short cuts make me think Midjourney, but then they have a shot with their product in it.

dhritzkiv · a year ago

It's certainly real.

What was it about the video that made you think it's generative? That it's surrealistic?

I believe there's also an exemption for Canadian citizens. [1] and [2] (Cmd-f "Canadian")

seanhunter · a year ago

This is awesome in an overengineered way, but if you want to make cold brew the normal way it's very easy. Basically you make it using a cafetière/French press/Bodum[1] using cold tap water in the fridge overnight (probably put some cling film over it), then press it and run it through a drip filter. The secret (if there is one) is to use fine ground coffee like you would use for an espresso rather than coarse ground (like you would use for a normal drip coffee or French press). It's very easy and very lovely. Just don't skimp on coffee.

dhritzkiv · a year ago

One thing I'll mention is that cold brew doesn't need to be put in the fridge to "brew". It can be left out on the counter at room temperature. As a result, this takes the brew time from 24 hours to about 12 hours.

Add on: ask your local library if they have: Libby, Kanopy or Hoopla

dhritzkiv · a year ago

Kanopy is great, and very nearly as good as the mainstream streaming platforms in terms of selection and software quality.

Hoopla, however, is abysmal both in selection (though this depends on your local library) and in software/service quality. The search is broken, and it has some of the most confusing UX I've ever experienced. It's as if it actively wants to prevent you from watching anything.

Found a bug on the first search I ran, where the right side is preferred, despite having more sun (10.55%) vs. the left side (6.64%). Not sure how. All other searches gave more expected results.

Parameters: - Toronto to Montreal at 3:21PM EST.

Relatively fast onset gastro symptoms. Used to be fine with any beer but at about 21 started noticing the problem with a lot of largers. Asahi, Tsing Tao, seemed less of a issue. Not formula diagnosed.

dhritzkiv · 2 years ago

I don't know specifically about your symptoms, but one thing it could be is the carbonation.

All draught Guinness (including Guinness Draught cans) is not carbonated with just CO2, but with nitrogen and CO2 in a 70-30% (thereabouts) mix.

Additionally, when pouring a typically carbonated beer incorrectly (or not pouring it into a glass), a larger amount of CO2 remains in solution, leading to gastro bloat that can feel more uncomfortable than one would expect. You can experience bad pours even at bars, depending on who's behind the tap.

Lagers will have higher carbonation levels than most stouts, so that could be a factor.
