Heard an announcement I've never heard before. "NExt station is bloor station, There are special constables at the station. If you require their assistance, you can reach out to them there."

Do they always do this as a heads up when they are pulling up to a station with constables? Or did someone on the train and they are letting that customer know that they are there?

You can enter Eglinton station without a fare for the dry cleaners [update to my question if you can enter without paying fare if going to the dry cleaners]

Not much more to say beyond the title. Asked the staff at the gate (south one) and they confirmed that if you are using the dry cleaners you can enter without paying although they said to use the south entrance.

I asked what would happen if there's fare enforcement officers, they said to just tell them to talk to whoever let me.

They also let me know that I was the 2 or 3rd to ask them this in the past month, so someone must have read the thread and followed up

Are there any targeted spells on players addons that still put the the spells on the player's raid/party frames?

The few targeted spells addons I'm looking at don't seem to put it on the party frame anymore, but creates their own list and shows enemy target ---> Player Target rather than putting the icon on the party frame. Was this functionality taken out in this patch? Because in season 1 I was still able to track it on the party frame.

Also, does ellsmereUI have any sort of spell targeted tracking? I remember seeing it written in articles that it did, but going through the modules I don't see any mention of it.

Are you supposed to have the botanist bring the weed straight to the drying rack or to a "buds" shelf, then from the shelf they go to the rack?

​

After adding drying rack into my workflow, it seems to bottle neck my output pretty hard. There will be buds ready for harvest but no where to store it (drying rack).

I was wondering if people stored buds into the shelves first as an overflow then to the drying racks? I realized that would require many additional routes so I'm not sure if this is viable

I have an Ontario Photo Card, how is the names broken out?

I have multiple pieces of ID with various types of naming format due to how the Embassy filled it in, and I don't really have any id that matches each other.

I have a last name, a Chinese name and an English name.

My Ontario Photo card has it listed as [Last name], [Chinese name], [English Name].

I know in general people go by first name, middle name, last name. Going by this logic but in reverse, does this mean that my First name is my English name, and my "middle" name is my Chinese name?

Or is my Chinese name my first name, because it makes more sense to make the last field optional as it looks like people have optional middle names?

Edit: as an aside I have ids in different formats. For example I have my passport says

Surname: [Last name]

Given names: [Chinese name] [English Name] (no commas between Chinese name and English name which I presume means the entire phrase is my "first name")

My heathcard says [Last name], [Chinese name] [English name] (with no comma again)

Is the official/best practice for managing torrent downloads to not manage extensions via qbittorent but to do it via sonarr instead?

I remember seeing a user with the sonarr dev user flair and another mod of this subreddit post thisa few days ago so I assume this advice has some weight behind it.

I see the initial benefit of this as it makes sure that qb doesn't delete a file out from under sonarr and causing it to get stuck in the activity queue.

However is the sonarr malicious filter robust enough to trust and for me to disable qb's file extension black list ? Should I be doing this ?

[ON] Our company got rid long term and short term disability insurance coverage and moved it to some other services because "You get Long/short term disability from the government anyways" and "No one used it in the last 3 years"

Their entire argument was that they got rid of it because it doesn't stack with government's ODSP / EI long/short term disability anyways, and they moved the dollars out of coverage into some other coverage (eyes glasses, dental etc) people actually used.

How does personal long and short term disability insurance interact with the Ontario/ Federal government coverage? If I have personal LTD does the government not cover it? Or does personal LTD "top off" whatever the government coverage doesn't for % of your salary?

20% keyboard, does this count? (One handed, half of a 40% for assistive typing)

I've been developing a one handed keymap for a while, and landed on this. This allows you to type using one hand. This keyboard is the waterfowl36 / severedduck36, just the left side of course. The novelty keycaps as well as the rest of the keycaps are 3d printed.

Layers

I do not like having a lot of layers, but I especially do not like using multiple layers for only typing words. I believe this is called Mirror QWERTY or half QWERTY.

Instead of using layers to type your alpha keys, they are on a tap hold situation. On this qwerty layout, if you tap q you get q, but if you hold q you get p. Similar situation with the other keys like tap g= g, hold g = h. Also tap x = x, hold x = . etc.

The numbers are laid out like a numpad, but instead of using num keys I use the regular number keycode so that tap 1 = 1, hold 1 = ! .

The other layers are nav keys like arrows, home, end, etc, and the mouse layer for the last one.

Combos

I also have brackets and punctuation set as combos. So in theory you never have to flip to another layer to type. Most of the type between the first layer and the combos you can compose a lot of text without needing to go to the num layers to fetch the symbols.

Leader keys

This is a very under talked about feature that most people should really use. It's essentially letting you type a string to do a macro. So something like LEAD+D+G can be used for anything like typing out "Hello," or hitting a series of keys like CTRL+ALT + 1 or even access the firmware functions like restart qmk.

Typing speed

I've been able to get around 25-35 wpm (Alpha + num + symbols) typing on this one handed. While speed isn't necessary the goal, the idea is that people can get a decent amount of typing done with 1 hand without needing to flick through layers just typing an email. All the alphas are on the first layer, punctuation and brackets are combos and you still have access to less used symbols through the number layer.

Also, you can still use the other half of the keyboard if you want to type "normal", as it just has the mirrored keymap on the other side. Sometimes when I need to respond quickly I do just type like normal on a 40%.

Exwind addon is doing some very interesting things to track CDs of trash mobs in M+ which I don't think other addons (DBM,Big/Small Wigs) is doing.

I was running a windrunner with this addon and found out that it was able to track trash CDs which I don't think DBM or big wigs is doing. From what I can tell, it doesn't actually read the combat log at all which I guess dead due to 12.0. From what I can tell it tracks all casts using the UNIT_SPELLCAST_START event and using UnitCastingInfo(u) which is still available since nameplate addons requires it. So it's just looking at unit id and when a spellcast starts to infer the spell id.

The tricky part though with the specific add I was noticing this are those birds that does the charge (Break Rank) and the interrupting shout (Interrupting Screech) and alternates between it. It looks like it builds a hard coded list of first cast is always charge, then the second cast is always screech and alternates back and forth. The addon is able to track this both.

I might be mistaken but it looks like it's even cleverer by not assuming that the first cast is always break Rank rank. I think it's it's measuring the cast time, and then using that to determine if it's a longer spell (break rank) or a shorter cast (interrupting screech). Then it knows which part of the rotation it's in.

Just to confirm though, does DBM and big wigs actually track trash? I know they hook into blizzard's API and pass through boss info, but from what I can tell there really is no trash tracking.

For split qmk keyboards with 2 micro controllers, are there any cool tricks you can do with plugging in the left side vs right side?

The only real trick I can think of is to flash the left side and right side with 2 different firmwares, and depending on which side is master you could have a qwerty layer, and when you plug the otherside in you could have a stenno layer.

Other than layout, is there anything else you can do ?

My frigidaire dishwasher only floods my floors when I put this in my bottom tray. ( error i4)

Initially I had thought that the handle of the bottom pan was keeping the door open. However I seated it completely within the bottom tray and the door closed all the way.

Is there a reason why an upside down pan is causing a flood and triggering a water overflow error? Is it causing more water to collect somehow? Again I don't think it's the handle pushing against the door and causing a gap in the seal.

I restarted the dishwasher, ran a new load without the pan and everything was fine.

Are afk leveling services allowed to be discussed here?

I often see this in the services chat, but I was wondering how it's done? I assume it involves an area with a heavy spot, you fill the party up with 3 clients, and you have a dps and tank kill stuff?

For midnight, does anyone know where people are doing this? Is this even economical?

My parents's macbook (2013, 2014) are old enough that they aren't getting browser updates and can't access things like banking and such. What is a completely hands off (for me and them) distro?

I don't want to get calls from them about any distro issues. And from what I can tell I need the following for that to happen

  • I don't want them to know how to do security updates, ideally the distro does it itself
  • I don't want them to have to update software, ideally it updates itself (they only use browser anyways)
  • If it looks similar to mac that's a bonus but they can deal with it

I have barely any experience beyond mint, so I was going to just do that. I would probably have to figure out unattended updates for the system and software .

Does anyone have any better recommendations?

Weird question: I remember the patter of the trick, but not the trick itself. I only remember it being a card trick

"I like doing card tricks because a deck of cards contains a lot of parallels to real life

for example If you look the four suits , club hearts spades diamonds, you can see that it represents the four seasons. 52 cards = 52 weeks, 2 colors = day and night. 12 court cards = 12 months

"

This is literally all the patter I remember, and I'm racking my brain trying to recall what trick this is. The problem is that the patter is so generic I could see this work for anything.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know if this patter is for any specific trick?

what is the best way to donate your time?

Do x hours of work for eligible institutions then ...

  1. invoice them, get paid, then donate that income right back, then put that number in the donations and gift line
  2. bill them but don't get paid but still get a receipt from the institution and use that amount you would have gotten paid into donation and gift line
  3. Invoice them, then instantly forgive the invoice

I'm assuming number 1 is cleaner and probably preferred? Is there any other process other than the above that is done? Edit: Is there an easier way to do this donation "in kind" to avoid paper work?

Is a 25% creature damage increase and a HP gain just straight 25% nerf to healers?

I'm not sure of how these numbers work together, but is the title roughly correct? Or do these not directly affect each other?

So if a healer only got a 3% buff, would it just be a 22% nerf to healers?

Also, if a tank gains 25% health, but takes 25% more damage, that's not a net neutral is it?

What are some things you can't really cook in a stainless steel pan?

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set, and I'm aware of some of the issues of stainless steel pans.

One of the few things I like to make for breakfast is bacon and "low and slow" omelettes. Both of these generally start from a cold pan. Is this a non starter for stainless steel?

I don't really cook duck breast but I saw this pop up a few times. Is there anything else I missed? I was planning on removing my non stick pans but maybe I'll get one new one for omelette/bacon
