While it is "community center", my understanding is that it is more athletic based? What I really mean is does it also have drop-in seatings similar to Shadbolt where I can plop my laptop and work there?

A question that is common on askvan from Torontonians is about finding friends/date as a black person; eventually, the comment will devolve into Vancouver is far more self-segregated than Toronto.

However, considering both are Canadian cities, with immigrants, I can't help but ask: why do the different race/cultures mingle less in Vancouver compare to Toronto? What made us different from that of Toronto that in general people of Lower Mainland congregated based on race/culture?

A question derived from the various threads for finding friends/date as a black person - I can't help but ask: why are we so cliquey, and that is at best? What made us different from that of Toronto that in general people of Lower Mainland congregated based on race/culture?

I mean Canada is facing the 2-time champions of Asian Cup.

>So if anyone's curious on what's happening with OnKey Expo - I'm pretty sure it's their association with VKet who uses AI openly and instructs others how to use it for their service.

>Understandably, this doesn't sit well with a lot of their partners and guests.

>Also some upset about AkumaMikoVT as guest due to the allegations about her originating from the VTBlacklist and others. (NOTE: She was eventually removed) (alleged info here: https://x.com/VTBlacklists/status/1791315888458658062?s=20)

>Onkey Expo claimed to be against generative AI during their artist alley applications etc.
Pinbun, the executive of Onkey, is an ambassador for Vket which utilizes generative AI.
I believe there was also concerns about one of the invited guests.

I remember before CoVID, at a beautiful event at Canada Place, I have one of the best poutine. Not sure if that still operate somewhere, but would anyone know what could be the name of that truck, and whether they have a restaurant?

A bit meta, but I am curious why when someone ask about question regarding Vancouver, most people automatically assume to be about CoV and not region wide - especially if it's a question by a tourist?

Want to check: Do you guys reapply finish (superglue or polyutherine, by choice) after you steamed the dent out?

As someone from Vancouver, It is quite interesting that even narrowing down to La Belle Patate, Fritz, Anny's Milk Bar, and (somewhat) Belgian Fries, it is said that our poutine still pale to Quebec.

While I am already aware of the use of potato base (La Belle for example don't get soggy fast), what is missing for us - or for that matter, for area outside of Quebec that the Poutine isn't as good? I would assume that of the 4 aforementioned places, they will source it from Quebec diary

I encounter some songs that are in Drop C or even Drop B, and I realize I can, instead of dropping the tuning of the top strings to those tuning, I can tune up using the B string as basis instead. That being said, I am wondering if this is actually a good idea?

My father is on an old H81m-a based computer, which is on Legacy Boot. Already on 2203 BIOS. Knowing that secure boot key is soon expired, I have the following choices:

1. Do nothing. It works, it's old, who cares?
2. Try to go through the instructions as listed here:
   1. https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1056845/#b
   2. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/answers/questions/5570560/how-do-i-manually-update-secure-boot-keys-on-windo
3. Use a seperate blank HDD, install Win 10 as UEFI, forces update and hope the new security key loads on it. Then change it back to legacy and use the old HDD.

Of 2 and 3, will either of them work?

One thing I notice from the various listings on Ibanez RGA7 (2010 era models) are that they tend to corrod heavily on the metal parts, and I am wondering if it's due to their active pickup (ie: having the 9v in there)?

If yes,

• what causes it?
• What component will be greatly affected? I do notice bridge is commonly corroded, and even the neck screws are green.

I forgot who's the redditor who did the calculation on the wheel, but the second one - after having communty feed back - prove that saving golden ticket is the best choice, and Indeed, I got all the items without spending money due to that.

So thank you for calculating, and provided analysis on it.

With Bill 22, many VPN sre threatening to pull out of Canadian market. In that case, are there any VPN we can use?

So I decided to try out the Slopsmith on my TV PC (an i3 6100 mini pc), and it works for an open source alpha (except the problem with resolution)

That being said, I am curious if there are other Rocksmith clones/alternatives that are free, or even open source?

One of my personal guitar repair bible is the "Guitar Player Repair Guide 3rd edition" by Dan Erlewine, but seeing that was back in 2007, are there any newer editions?

I know it was seemingly an obvious answer - charter of rights, etc - I can't help but to look at all the other cities in Canada. Except Victoria, most other cities are not as progressive as the region. What is our magic sauce? (Don't think it's education, as the curriculum is province wide)

I always want to make a tube amp myself, but sometimes I cannot help but to wonder why the old school schematic and turret board seems less complicated than modern amps.

Here's my understanding of what causes complexity:

• Preamp
  • Channel
    • Single, Parallel (Tremolo), or cascading distortion channel
  • EQ - simple 1 knob vs TMB; whether each channel have their own
• Effect loops - simple diverted, or buffered
• Reverb, which derived
• Single Ended, Single-End Parallel, or PI-Push Pull
• Recitifier - tube, simple solid state, the recitifier bridge

Anything else I missed?
