Thats exactly how I feel about heat.

I don’t shop at Costco as its a US brand. I shop at grocery stores, Canadian ones. It is a loss leader everywhere. They take the whole chickens that are damaged or are close to shelf life and roast them.

Yeah… American prices haven’t caught up with the rest of the world yet. As much as Trump has done to destroy your economy you’re still not paying anywhere near the price of things elsewhere. Going to take more loss of power for the US dollar for things to align.

But, I’ll bet that’s still cheaper than a whole chicken, raw… Right?

At 44, my doc keeps telling me I need to eat a better diet. His diet would break the damn bank… I have a family of three to feed.

Man they are $13.99 in BC now… But still hella cheaper than a raw roaster at $23

Rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roasting chicken that you you need to make the same thing at home.

Rotisserie chickn $13.99, uncooked roaster is $23

What is gross is that rotisserie chicken is cheaper than a raw roaster.

Wait for the better holiday, Feb 15th, aka cheap chocolate day.

Pi4 is better for anything with video as it has a a hardware decoder. They dropped the hardware decoder in the Pi5 and I think you need to buy an extra module to have one for them.

The differentiator is max speed in Canada. Regardless of how they are built. If you can exceed a certain speed, license required.

Most of the american companies are using Chinese manufacturing for much of the devices. Fairphone is European, but same manufacturing sources.

In 2026, as a Canadian… Choosing between a country that is adopting nazi practices and threatening us with annexation, and one who has a questionable history but is overall doing more for climate change and global stability right now than the other… The choice is easy. Anything but american.

Sure, but then you are also not funding Google’s competition in order to help improve choice.

Buying second hand might make you feel better because you didn’t directly fund Google, but you’re still helping them maintain their position.

AND it doubles as a rudder!

Pressed Xanax bars?

What, like medication based granola? What do you chase that with?

The Graphene devs explicitly only support Pixels. Sticking with Graphene means continuing to give Google the profits from your hardware.

/e/OS is not bad as an alternative. The system wide ad and tracker blocking is nice.

Seriously. Neurodivergent folks like myself stand an iota of a chance of being successful with a cubicle. Open floor plans are an assault on our senses and the wet dream of micromanagers. They are awful and the reason I exclusively work from home.

Kube makes it easy to have a lot, as a lot of things you need to deploy on every node just deploy on every node. As odd as it sounds, the number of containers provides redundancy that makes the hobby easy. If a Zimaboard dies or messes up, I just nuke it, and I don’t care whats on it.

Kids should NOT be on social media.

Yes its common courtesy. Its lazy and disrespectful to just toss your cart however and just expect that the store’s minimum paid staff should deal with your mess

I usually organise them when I bring mine back to fix other people’s laziness.

Uh… Probably somewhere around 150?
