For me, fogging my glasses means I have a leak and the air is being forced out gaps around my nose. Maybe under extreme weather conditions a perfect fit would still fog, but that's not what the op is talking about.


Toilets are available, but why use one if you have mastered pissing in a bottle? Sounds convenient to me :)

Note: I would not want to be forced to do that by my employer.


Toilets are available. Not enough toilets are available for public use


In addition to replacing single use plastic bags with heavy weight reusable bags. We can't reuse bags any more due to covid19. So now we are single using heavy weight reusable plastic bags.


That’s weird. In Ontario we just temporarily shut off the fee for single use bags and used them while things were bad.


Same, but once every 2 years. Just email me for goodness sake!


Then you'll have to spell your email address using NATO phonetic alphabet.


I agree. Sit in your front yard and work from there if the weather is nice. You may find more people routinely walk by than you thought. Say hello. No need to drive to "your community". Especially now that more people are working from home.

My wife's family does the same thing, but with cash and checks and sometimes gift cards. Cracks me up.


For reasons I don't entirely understand, a large number of people think that giving a gift card is "more polite" than checks or cash. Even though you are literally giving just a worse version of cash that can only be used in one store.


Any gift is a worse version of cash that can only be used for one specific item, if you want to think of it that way.


Not everything is for sale. Things can be freely given that you wouldn't, and in some cases are not allowed to, sell.

But even beyond that some gifts that could be bought are valuable to the recipient disproportionately to what it cost for the giver to purchase them, for a variety of reasons.


> But even beyond that some gifts that could be bought are valuable to the recipient disproportionately to what it cost for the giver to purchase them, for a variety of reasons.

My point is that those are the same reasons that recipients value gift cards more than the same cash amount (though to a lesser extent).


I always thought splitting the keyboard and number pad so I could put the mouse in the middle would be a great optimization. Finally did it last year and ended up with tennis elbow. Turns out having my mouse pad a good distance away from the keyboard gives me a chance to stretch out my arm. That tiny bit of extra movement was crucial in not pushing my body over the limit of too much tiny movements resulting in elbow/arm pain. There are other contributors like using my phone too much in the evenings. But for sure, the keyboard change pushed me over the edge. I now view micro optimizations like this slightly differently. Maybe this keyboard layout would be great! But I sure would pay more attention and watch for negative side effects now.


Generally you talk to a realtor... Zillow is a good place to start though.


Zillow is american. MLS.ca is where to start.



What do you guys think about having the ai communicate to a person and having them execute the moves?


Having played starcraft - the idea doesn't work. Starcraft happens to quickly, with too much precision, and too low a tolerance for latency to wait for a human to absorb understand and execute instructions.

Having programmed simple NNs the idea doesn't work. The amount of time you'd have to spend having humans execute instructions during training would be astronomical. They were training 16000 games simultaneously, for 44 days, most likely running at some multiple of how fast the game normally runs. Moreover you lose out on supervised learning, because we don't data sets of "the human told the other human to do this", we only have data sets (almost a million games large) of "the human did this".


This is how SkyNet starts -- out of sheer frustration.
